Days Gone

I really wanted to play this game back in the day, but it ran like crap on steam with constant crashing. Now this version without DRM and NO CRASHING is the holy grail damn. Finally I can enjoy this game in peace, thanks!

3.5/5 - Days Gone doesn't have the biggest/broadest offering in terms of the open world experience but that doesn't detract from what is overall still a fun gaming experience, whether that's tearing through the countryside racing along abandoned roads on your drifter bike or taking it to the zombies, marauders and rippers with your array of weapons, you'll find there's still enough to get PLENTY of hours out of this title which ultimately makes it a shame we won't get a sequel to see the ideas and concepts given a proper chance to be fleshed out.

I started the game and noticed the small "open" world. Was that all? But it's not. At the end I got a remarkable world which took quite some time to traffel from one end to the other. Same with the weapons, ressources, money. Everything starts very, very low, but it actually encouraged me to evolve. It's one of these games where the skilltree really makes sense. And if you finally can get a hold on your prefered gun it makes so much fun to slaughter the hordes of freakers. The same ones you were scared about at the begining. The story is great. NOT (like in many other shooters) just some flat excuses to engages enemies. It's actually the opposite. Giving the hope that Friendship even can exist in post-apocalyptic scenary. Okay, there are also missions like "go there and kill the damn f**kers", but that's a low at the earlier side missions. The missions are organized as a bunch of "stories". A story is a collection of side missions related to one topic. At the end it provides achievements and new stuff. The idea feels great, especially as all are running in parallel. You get pulled from one story into the other without even noticing. I enjoyed the game. And I'm absolutely sure that I will replay someday.

This is hands down one of the best zombie games I've played. It's a shame it was restricted to Playstation for so long who did not take care of the IP. The game is a really good Mad Max like experience with a top notch story that is just what you need after the Walking Dead. Make More!!

I really like this game. Interesting story, resources' management in apocalyptic world, zombie-like enemies, big maps where you can move freely and amazing ambience. Very recommended. Still don't understand how could Sony never make a 2nd part for this game.
