This port is also a hell of a lot better than HZD‘s. The game itself is gorgeous, with detailed scenery, high-quality character models, and wonderful animations. You even get into tense firefights with other human survivors, all while remaining dangerously low on ammo. You search every nook and cranny for scrap and crafting ingredients.

You sneak around dreary, ruined locations while evading zombies. If you plugged The Last of Us into HZD‘s structure, you’d get something similar. Days Gone is very much a boilerplate Sony zombie game. While Days Gone has better acting and infinitely superior cutscene animations, it’s also generic in ways that HZD never stooped to, even when it leaned heavily on its youth-adult novel setting and feel. Both are open-world, post-apocalyptic games which are focused on crafting, repairs, and mixtures of stealth and vulnerable action. We can also play it with much better graphics and performance now, so the question stands: is Days Gone worth it?ĭays Gone is a lot like Horizon Zero Dawn, honestly. But it also had a fairly mixed response when it originally launched. Still, Days Gone is at least now on PC via Steam, bringing with it dozens of hours of open-world zombie-infested gameplay.

Sure, we can hope for Bloodborne, Spider-man, and God of War, but it looks as if the modern classics are going to stay close to Sony’s chest for the foreseeable future. Much like with Horizon Zero Dawn, it’s still not exactly bringing out the big guns. Sony has seen fit to grace the PC with yet another former PlayStation exclusive.
