ZOMBIE BIKER GAME PS4 PC

‘The Last of Us’ is beautifully written and a compelling experience and I can see why players notice a lot of similarities. “I don’t mind that, it’s good company to be in. “We’ve been compared a lot to ‘The Last of Us,’” he said. It does everything Days Gone does, but with a sense of humour, a wasteland that's actually worth exploring, and you get to be the road warrior Max Rockatansky instead of a sad, mumbling biker in a backwards baseball cap.The game draws some obvious comparisons to another Sony zombie thriller, “The Last of Us.” And that’s OK, co-director and writer John Garvin told Variety back in May. Look, just play Avalanche's Mad Max (opens in new tab) game from 2015 instead. But if Days Gone hadn't made the transition, I don't think it would have been a great loss for the platform. It's great seeing more PlayStation exclusives coming to PC, and long may that continue. It's a pretty game, but it won't make a high-end graphics card sweat.ĭays Gone is a fun post-apocalyptic road trip simulator, but the things it does well are ultimately overwhelmed by the dreary story, repetitive missions, sluggish controls, and lifeless world.

It is, however, missing a few things we've come to expect from modern PC games-namely DLSS and raytracing. I had to knock a few settings down for a smooth experience in 4K, but nothing that majorly affected the quality of the image. With an RTX 2080 Super and an i7-9700K, I was able to play in 1440p at max settings with a completely stable frame rate-even with hundreds of freakers filling the screen. Days Gone thinks being 'mature' means snuffing out all traces of warmth and humour from its story-even though people in a world like this would depend on these things even more to cling to their dwindling humanity.īut hey, the PC version is pretty good. And Deacon himself, who is mostly angry and monosyllabic, is hard to love. The flashbacks to Deacon and Sarah's pre-pandemic relationship are overly sentimental. Everyone you meet is either miserable, dying, or trying to kill you. I just wish there were more memorable moments like this.ĭays Gone is also deeply joyless, with a grim, self-serious tone a story about apocalyptic bikers with names like 'Boozeman' really shouldn't have. In one especially tense mission, Deacon is kidnapped by a fanatical self-mutilating death cult called the Rippers and has to sneak and shoot his way out of their creepy compound. But the missions in Days Gone just aren't varied enough-nor is the story interesting enough-to justify its length. I mean, I've played through the immense Red Dead Redemption 2 twice. I have no problem with long open world games. But even if you just doggedly pursue the story and ignore everything else on offer, you're still looking at 35-40 hours of game here, which is way too much. There are more than 150 missions to complete in the game, a mix of story and side missions. When you whack a bandit or a freaker with a large, heavy piece of wood, or a makeshift machete created out of an old lawnmower blade, you can really feel it.Įveryone you meet in Days Gone is either miserable, dying, or trying to kill you The character movement is lethargic, the guns are unexciting, and once again, the dim AI means there's no real sense of danger or urgency to the firefights. If you get spotted (or, as is more likely, bored of creeping around), Days Gone turns into a cover shooter that is, unfortunately, every bit as pedestrian as the stealth is. It's incredibly basic stuff, with no unique systems to experiment with, and some very skittish, unconvincing AI-whether you're sneaking past freakers or humans. You also have to watch out for bear traps and tripwires that'll give away your position, and can throw rocks as a distraction.

Stealth involves crouching in conveniently placed waist-high bushes, waiting for enemies to pass, then stabbing them violently in the head.

As for the actual missions, they're an underwhelming mix of stealth and cover-based shooting.
