Days Gone

I can’t think of many other open world games that pack in as much character, as much wonderfully crafted narrative that Days Gone does. Sure, it’s a story about a world overrun with a deadly virus. But it’s also a story about people, about hope, about survival. It’s at times uplifting, others heartbreaking. Couple that with Days Gone‘s beautiful setting and a varied array of well-designed story missions, and you’re left with something pretty special. Don’t write Days Gone off as “just another generic open world game”; it’s so much more than that.

Days Gone is back on PC, even better and prettier. It's still the same game that won the hearts of many gamers. Deacon, though rough, can also be very human. Check out our PC review.

If you’re looking for a quick game to pass the time, you may want to pass on Days Gone as the story itself is around sixty plus hours long, not including side-missions and all 240 collectibles. But if you have the time and allow yourself to enter this world without expectations, Days Gone will blow you away and leave you enthralled for hours on end.

Days Gone wasn’t going to be an easy game to optimize, but it exceeded most expectations!

Days Gone is finally on PC as a part of Sony sharing some of its exclusive titles like Horizon Zero Dawn. The open-world zombie survival game came out in 2019 to a lukewarm reception for a variety of issues. The question is, has its adaptation into PC fixed any of these problems? The short answer is yes!

Days Gone may not be game-changing like other PlayStation exclusives, but it's still a well put together title.

Despite being painfully generic, Days Gone is an engaging game thanks to its emergent gameplay.

Zombies and the art of motorcycle maintenance.

While it tries a few unique things, Days Gone's awful writing, abundance of glitches, and boring cookie cutter gameplay doesn't really make it worth spending time on.

“Days Gone is a generic open world zombie fest riddled with tedium and performance issues.”

Days Gone has its exciting moments, but it fails to say anything interesting or meaningful about its story and characters. Its PC version enhances performance and visuals, but others the game remains the same for the most part.

Those moments of fun and challenge are too fleeting however, and they’re surrounded by a confusing story and long hours of repetitive tasks. Like a zombie, it lurches through the motions, hungry for brains, lacking its own.
