20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2018 - Ranked

12. State Of Decay 2

A game that - like Destiny 2 - is embodying the phrase "more of the same", State of Decay actually lowered some eyebrows once Microsoft started showing it off, because Undead Labs' sequel could just as easily be another expansion for the original.

Or at least, that's how it looks.

Under the hood there'll be more innovative mechanics that expand things like base-building, crafting, the day/night cycle and time ticking by even when you're away from the system - all brilliant ways to expand on the otherwise stale 'zombie shooter genre'. State of Decay may be lacking a tad on the graphical front, but when it comes to immersion, Undead Labs have created some of the most addictively playable gameplay loops in quite some time.
