State of Decay took a tired, old trope—the zombie apocalypse—and made it fresh again. You play as a community or survivors, instead of a sole, gruff zombie murder expert, and that makes all the difference in the world.

Waypoint Editor-in-Chief Austin Walker takes a look at the game and its bold vision in this week's Guide to Games.
