Dead State Review | IGN
IGN – Like most of the best zombie fiction, Dead State is an old-lkschool RPG that’s no more about its zombies than a disaster movie is about the asteroid impact, tsunami, or earthquake. The event is important; they’ve changed everything. But it’s the people that the story is about, and especially the small group that you’re in charge of, all huddled in your little scrap of safety. It’s your job to feed and protect them by heading out in search of supplies and other survivors, but also to keep them sane and safe and away from each other’s throats while back at home. The result is a clever, if undeniably clunky mix of both genres and past zombie games we’ve seen that is absolutely going to be some peoples’ favourite of the year… but also one that, like a brain-hungry zombie trying to chomp down on Stephen Hawking, bites off more than it can chew.
