(Unplug your console from the Internet and enjoy a long zombie-biking adventure, by all means.) But the game's opening sequence is all about riding alongside your biker-gang buddy Boozer, which establishes an expectation that you might have a chatty, computer-controlled friend along for this journey. We can already toss co-op out the window, since this is a single-player quest, which is by no means a complaint. In zombie games, partnership can come in the form of literal co-op mechanics ( Left 4 Dead, Killing Floor) or figurative story-driven ones ( Resident Evil, The Walking Dead: A Telltale Story). I'll start with "partnership" and come back to the monster stuff later. I can't help but notice that Days Gone fails to nail either of these elements-and doesn't make up for it with other unique or perfectly polished twists. But that doesn't mean the zombie conceit doesn't come with expectations. My favorite modern zombie video games have hinged on two major elements: partnership and disturbing monsters. We've done this kind of thing before, which hasn't stopped us from praising recent zombie-filled retreads like Resident Evil 2. These people send Deacon out to do odd jobs (pick up supplies, reconnect electric generators, kill people) while he contends with unraveling truths and unavoidable tragedies. Days Gone sees you taking control of Deacon, a "one-percenter" in the forests of Oregon, with a motorcycle, a buddy, a missing wife, and a network of post-apocalyptic contacts. Those who avoided the plague but missed a wave of evacuation helicopters were left behind to rebuild miniature societies and fend for themselves. Tell me if this sounds familiar: in an alternate-reality version of the United States, a mysterious plague has begun turning people into flesh-eating monsters. Grab your flashlight and your molotov cocktails. When you approach a tunnel in Days Gone, chances are you'll need to clear out a freaker nest. What follows is not a comprehensive Days Gone review, but rather my take after 10 hours of the game convinced me I had seen enough to declare this a fine-enough game rental-nothing more, nothing less. The special sauce in Days Gone, which arrives with the baggage of "yet another zombie game" as a loud descriptor, is a lot tougher to extract. But it's absolutely a tougher elevator pitch than the likes of Spider-Man, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn.Įach of those Sony exclusives has some game-changing gem I can use to insist that they're worth investing in for dozens of hours-that sort of unmistakable highlight to finish the sentence "polished open-world adventure and," including massive-city web-slinging, polished story, and robo-dino safaris, respectively.
