Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Bend Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Released in April 2019 for PlayStation 4 and later for PC in May 2021, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where players control Deacon St. John, a drifter and bounty hunter navigating a landscape overrun by "Freakers," zombie-like creatures created by a global pandemic.
The gameplay focuses on exploration, combat, and survival elements, with players able to use various weapons, craft supplies, and upgrade Deacon’s motorcycle, essential for travelling across the vast and hostile environment. Days Gone combines narrative-driven missions with an open world filled with dynamic events, enemy camps, and environmental challenges.

In our Days Gone review we find a blockbuster exclusive that hardly without problems, nonetheless surprises with heart and a unique foe.

Days Gone is far from the worst specimen of its genre but in a year already packed with 50 hour+ endeavours, it rarely makes the case for its own existence.

Days Gone feels like it’s a few years too late. Nothing against zombie media, despite the currently dangerous saturation levels, but it’s something you’d typically see released around the height of Walking Dead‘s popularity: before the show started to stagnate creatively and the shambling undead popped up on practically every network.

With very little fanfare, Bend Studio has delivered a fun open world and mostly compelling story with Days Gone, even if the subject matter has been done to death.

Frantic hordes of zombies can't save Days Gone from its repetitive gameplay, bland world, and meandering story.
