(Note that when I say the text is easily legible, I mean for myself and Cortney, as people with good vision that don’t wear glasses. The speaker is indicated by a photo and/or a speech bubble above their head. The cinematic is nice and thick and large and the in-game subtitles are also bold enough to be easily read and are displayed against a darkened background.

It would be a nice addition in a future patch if they added full captioning and text scaling in the accessibility menu.Įven though you can’t resize the subtitle text, it is still easily legible, both in cinematic scenes and in-game dialogue. The subtitles aren’t within the accessibility menu, but there is the option to turn them off (they’re on by default upon launching the game). While it doesn’t solve every accessibility issue, I love that we’re seeing more and more of this in games.

Notably, there is an accessibility menu included in the game. No, it’s not a graphical marvel but it looks nice enough. Stealth takedowns are no longer an almost impossible to manage button combination and while very similar to the first game, the UI has been improved for every aspect of the game. The second iteration, while not without some basic graphical glitches, is a much smoother experience in every imaginable way. The first was so beyond janky that we never finished it. We can’t overstate how much better this game is than the first. This game makes us so happy.Īlright, now that we’ve gotten that out of my system (yes, lucky reader, you get a bonus dose of our politics along with a eaf review from time to time) we can get to the less important things such as gameplay and accessibility.

And because you can play the tutorial as a lesbian couple. Why will it hurt them so? Because the straight white male has been limited to one playable character of the eight you can choose to play through the tutorial with. That right there is reason enough to not just buy the game but to buy the deluxe edition of the game.

The most important thing to know about State of Decay 2 is that it will definitely ruin the lives of any of the gamergate fanboys (the same ones that bitch about Battlefield 1 making them play as a black man for ONE story mission and that gave BattleTech terrible reviews because of the option to use “they/them”) that wanted to play it.
