This is probably one of the biggest draws to Days Gone as it allows you to get to better know the characters of the world that you find yourself in with Deacon. Playing to this aspect is something that Bend Studio have managed to do well as with the non-linear story, it doesn’t matter if you’re doing missions for one camp or another, it all comes back to play into Deacon’s adventures to find a way to keep Boozer alive from his latest injury while also preparing for both of them to leave this “shit hole” that they find themselves in. So with two separate times through the story, the first in the driver’s seat and the second in that of the passenger, sitting down to it again has given me an even better appreciation of how all of the elements come together.Īs I said just about a year ago now, Days Gone is not a masterpiece in any way but it still manages to provide a great adventure in an Open World which for it to draw me in says something as I tend to stay away from Open Worlds often getting bored without the lack of direction that they hold. The second, is when Izzy herself found out the addiction of taking out these same zombie hordes as she Platinumed it (something I myself have not done). The first is my own original playthrough where if I wasn’t reviewing something else I was playing Days Gone making Izzy grumble that I was shooting zombies yet another night instead of co-oping something we had on the go. Now, unlike a lot of PC only players sitting down to Days Gone for the first time, this is my third time experiencing the story.
Major plot points will cover what you need but often you may not even know what’s major and what’s minor in the overall game until the moment has passed keeping things interesting enough as you are never quite sure where something could lead. Days Gone unlike a lot of others will tell the entire story over time but how you get there is really up to you. Instead of throwing you on massive quest after massive quest, or on some small quests in between larger ones, it’s basically both. Fast forwarding to two years later where Deacon never got to meet back up with his wife as the camp they were to meet up at was overrun, it doesn’t take long for things to re-go to shit as Boozer is once again wounded and in a chase, Deacon loses his own motorcycle essentially keeping the two of them in the middle of nowhere Oregon for the foreseeable future.Įssentially starting off with nothing and the stage set, the “world” for the most part is at your fingertips in a non linear style of storytelling. John saying goodbye to his wife Sarah as she’s medevaced out on a helicopter as Deacon stays behind to help his best friend Boozer that wouldn’t make it out of there alive with his own wounds to tend. The story starts off with our protagonist Deacon St. Having sat down to it, reviewed it for the PS4, crowned it a guilty pleasure in my 2019 Games of the Year selection, I was shocked at how new everything felt while loading it up on the PC and with an Xbox controller to boot.
Released back in April 2019, I didn’t really sit down to Days Gone until sometime into late November when Izzy bought it for me while we were out running errands. I got to play Days Gone for the first time again. Having exclusively originally released for the Sony PlayStation 4, Days Gone by Bend Studio has made it over to the PC and it granted me a wish that most only ever dream of. While “Zombie Apocalypse” stories are quite literally a dime a dozen, there are a few that stand out from the crowd.
