Days Gone is an intriguing amalgam of many of the elements that most zombie-centric titles tend to add to the melting pot, but it’s a far more polished affair than the rest of the pack. It’s an adventure with grit, heart, and plenty of zombies; in short, it feels like the natural evolution of games such as Dying Light or State of Decay. The game plonks you down in the dusty old biker boots of Deacon St John, a former outlaw who finds himself doing his best to survive a rural Oregon that’s been ravaged by a crop of zombie-like creatures called Freakers. While exploring, you’ll be faced with a litany of enemies, including plenty of the Freakers themselves.
