State of Decay 3 would do well with the excitement provided by State of Decay 2's curveballs, but one effect shouldn't be reused. One of the goals of State of Decay 3 should be to push its limits further than the last game could achieve. Although curveballs were a late addition to the game, they are a mechanic that has plenty of potential for the future. Despite being a good addition, the curveballs in State of Decay 2 still had some kinks to work out. This is especially true when it comes to the most obstructive feature they can bring.
