Days Gone

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.

Days Gone is the story of Deacon St John's fight for his and his biker-brother Boozer's survival and also his grief for his dead wife. He is a bitter, cynical character who is plagued with guilt for not being there when Sarah, his dead wife, needed him and died. He takes a lot of risks like he has a death wish and doesn't care much for other people except Boozer. In fact he keeps other people mostly at distance. Because of this Deacon appears superficially like a selfish bastard but he has also redeeming traits like not harming unarmed women. Deacon's story plays two years after a virus spread in 2017 worldwide among humans and animals, mutated them and made them feral and highly aggressive. It's Days Gone's version of a zombie apocalypse. The showplace is a beautiful scenery of mountains and forests and is located in Oregon, USA. The player can upgrade his bike, buy better weapons, craft melee weapons and other useful stuff. Also a basic character system is implemented, so that the player can earn XP and unlock skills. While the gameplay isn't the best I have ever seen and missions can become repetitive, it's still enjoyable. And combined with the story there should be enough reasons to finish it. Sure the story starts quiet slow, almost boring. But it becomes better. If you start caring for the characters, the story will 'kick you in the feels' so to speak, hard and not just once. Some people say that Days Gone ends in a cliffhanger and I can understand why after I kept playing when the credits were shown - Days Gone allows you to keep playing after the main story. After finishing the main story there are 4 more side missions that answer some minor questions and one of them is a "to be continued". So if you are hesitant to get the game because of that cliffhanger: there is no real reason to. Regarding the data collection: according to TechRaptor that "feature" is turned off when Limited Data is selected. And like some others I want a Days Gone 2.

Got into it and never stopped playing until I finished it. - Some dialogs and replics are a bit naive, but it is ok. - Sceneries are beautiful. - Played on the hardest level, so it was tough in the beginning, challenging. Later got normal. - Saves are good (and note that I hate games where they don't let you save at will) - don't listen to the folks who complain around here. - I didn't feel the game was slow. It was completely fine! But if you like the recent DOOM, then yes - turn around. Ever played RDR2 - that's SLOW! - Atmosphere is extremely good. - Story is decent. - I didn't find that cutscenes were many, as some complain. Everything felt just right. - Collectable are a great fun. - IMHO, the game worth both money paid and time spent. But, of course, everyone has their taste.
