Days Gone

Just having recently played through Dying Light and Mad Max I couldn't help, but notice that Days Gone has managed to copy the most annoying mechanics of both games - weapon durability and fuel consumption. You kill three zombies - weapon is broken. You can carry ten bottles and ten rags, but at the same time you are limited to three molotovs? Combat turns very quickly into repair/crafting fest mid fight. Hordes - lure them and pop them. Also - the game is VERY repetative and requires going back and forth between same few locations from the other side of the map, but the motorcycle is running out of fuel faster than a fat kid through candies. Combine that with the choppy questline, spread thin by filler quests, and it gets really tedious. Speaking of combat - it's nothing to write home about - if the melee weapons were unbreakable, you'd be unstoppable... Stealth is passable, but guncombat is atrocious. The whole experience feels like the developers had a checklist of things they needed to have in the game: open world - check, meaningless upgrades - check, annoying sidekick - double-check. On the positive side - the game is very beautiful and the story looked interesting, but is dragged on for far too long between fetch quests, so you lose the narrative completely. Like Mad Max, it would have benefitted greatly by reducing and turning filler quests and objectives into meaningful missions and getting more focused on the story, instead of bouncing on and off between them.

The scarcity, the game's challenge, and story and the character development are all top notch.

DAYS GONE ON PC IS A MASTER PIECE. DAYS GONE ON PS4 IS FUN AND PLAYABLE. THIS GAME IS SO MUCH FUN - THAT IT'S CRIMINAL THAT'S IT'S NOT GETTING A SEQUEL BECAUSE - I GUESS THEY RUSHED BEND TO RELEASE DAYS GONE BEFORE IT WAS FINISHED. THIS IS THE MOST FUN GAME I'VE PLAYED IN YEARS -I DON'T WANT IT TO FINISH. I DON'T LIKE STORIES IN GAMES USUALLY "BUT" THIS STORY IS CAPTIVATING AND A WORK OF ART. IF YOU'RE A TRUE GAMER OR EVEN JUST A CASUAL GAMER...THIS HAS TO BE IN YOUR COLLECTION...GOG AND SONY THE DREAM TEAM...BROTHERS WITH DIFFERENT MOTHERS.

This is a great single player story based survival horror game in the zombie apocolupse theme. Set in the PNW, it was a ton of fun to play through and has cool challenge modes and one off as well. This games rewards side quests and adventuring. Well worth retail.

Da ich auf Deutsch schreibe wird es kaum einer lesen. Ihr mögt Endzeitzombiespiele, mit langsamer Progression und könnt über den ein oder anderen Bug und GLitch hinweg sehen? Dann seid ihr hier richtig. Story ist nicht so der Brüller, hält aber bei Laune (typisches Endzeitszenario, Überall kleine Dörfer mit Überlebenden, Zombies überall, Plünderer und die Überreste der Regierung haben irgendetwas vor). Zu Anfang muss man leise vorgehen und oft auch die Beine in die Hnd bzw auf Motorrad schwingen, um abzuhauen. Hat aber auch was, wenn eine Horde mit 80 Zombies hinter dir her ist. Fortbewegung erfoglt fast immer per Motorrad und wie es so ist, verlierst du direkt am Anfang deine geile Karre und musst dir eine alte Schrottmühle langsam aufmotzen. Und die besten Teile gibt es nicht wenn man nur der Story folgt, man muss auch Nebenmissionen machen, bzw sollte es tun. Denn dein Tank ist in der Anangsphase schnell leer und der Motor ist so schwach, dass dich ein Jogger einholt. Wer nur der Story folgt, wird einige Missionen nur schwer bewältigen, wenn man schnell Jemandne verfolgen muss.
