The new playground, Danforth City, does a great job of reminding you that the world is totally fucked, with far fewer moments of respite and only your base feeling safe (even then it’s temporary). Lifeline feels like a real expansion of the core game, maintaining all the key elements that made it one of the best open-world survival games of last year, while also offering a significantly different flavour to the whole thing.

State of Decay: Lifeline takes the original’s sense of urgency and heroism and dials it up to eleven. As soldiers, you’re armed and trained, and the fact that the onus is on rescuing survivors and fighting back rather than simply surviving changes the dynamic of the game. The siege events are always fun, and there’s an odd catharsis in seeing rescued civilians air-lifted to safety as you stay behind to fight the good fight.

Despite this, Lifeline consistently entertains through it's modest runtime. Fans of State of Decay will no doubt enjoy their experience here, and the game suits the more action-orientated and time-sensitive gameplay. Multiple endings give the game an element of replayability, but given the repetitive nature of gameplay, you may want to take a break between playthroughs.

State of Decay's imagination and ambition do not excuse the presentational shortcomings, but it's easier to celebrate an interesting yet crude game than one that's beautiful and dull.
