FIRST PLAY DAYS GONE PS4
Days Gone doesn’t play by the open-world rulebook. Where games like Far Cry and Horizon Zero Dawn urge you to explore and make you do all the work, this one is intent on bringing the action to you.
Sony’s latest PS4 exclusive takes aim at ‘open world fatigue’, the sense of being so bogged down by side quests that you forget what the actual story is. It switches things up with the mechanics, and creates a version of the American wilds that’s much more dynamic. And after four hours of hands-on gameplay with this RPG, we were left more enthused about it than we expected – if only for the way it deals with delivering an interesting, character-led narrative in a responsive and engaging open world.
