Days Gone

Nice bike riding model, great hordes and post apocalyptic atmosphere. Leaky tank is annoying and only fully upgraded lets you ride without much worry about gas. And ambushes with snipers breaking your bike engine are annoying too. Some optional activities are a bit repetitive.

It's not a riveting game, but it's fun enough for what it is

Why is my star rating 3? Shouldn't it be a 5 if I think it's worthy of a sequel? Read on. Days Gone is an unpolished gem. It's an open world zombie game comparable to State of Decay, but with a greater focus on the narrative surrounding Deacon St. John instead of a community of survivors building a home. Other than that shift, if you've played SoD, you've functionally played Days Gone. You explore the world doing jobs and gathering supplies, rinse and repeat. I also noticed the gameplay, action and control response is comparable to the Tomb Raider reboot games. The zombies themselves are mostly your typical mindless runner zombies. And you got your typical muscle zombies, screaming zombies. I'm glad they left out exploding gas zombies. The animal zombies are a nice touch, but the big standout is the hordes, which were done really well. In the early stages of the game, stealth is the way to go - but you will not be steatlh-fighting a horde. You actually do want to avoid them until later on when you get better weapons and lots of resources for molotovs and traps. The plot isn't stellar. You will see everything coming a mile away. But the character development is outstanding. Some characters you thought you hated you'll come to love. But once you've completed the story, there isn't really anything left to do. All that is to say, the game plays it pretty safe. Everything in Days Gone will feel familiar in some way because doesn't try do anything new. That's why 3 stars. But it does what it does well enough to make you want more. It was an enjoyable 60 hour experience, and I can only hope someday Sony will change their mind and revive this IP.

The controls are bad The mechanics of the game are good, there are hidden mechanics, google it. Graphics are good This game is good for casual players, i play it on easy

im a simple man, so this review is definitely NOT for any fanatic gamers, but yeah anyways so... for starters, this game has AMAZING graphics! every moment is such eye candy, the map is so well made and feels vast, and 3 dimensional! the characters (most) are really well written, the main character, deacon st john for example. emotional aside, deacon is a conventional badass 10/10, hes one mean son of a gun! the gameplay is good, but a little too simplistic for me? it feels like most things can be repaired with ease, but! i asume that changes on a harder difficulty (i was playing on normal) so yeah, you bet ill be playing on a harder difficulty! Overall, i rate the game a 8/10!!! highly recommend
