Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The graphics are pretty dissapointing resolutionwise, and the user interface is clumsy and ugly at best.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
On top of that, its co-op.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
BUT running over hordes, opening your car door and smacking zombies while driving, the over atmosphere of the map and the storylines, voice acting, gore galore and development of your home camp and those who live there is pretty fun and engaging which ultimately makes up for the downsides.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
State of Decay performance is good, but can use more optimization.
