days gone ps4 game review

Well now, if you’re lookin’ to hear ’bout that game called Days Gone on the PS4, I reckon I got somethin’ to say! It ain’t like them fancy games folks talk about, but it sure got some folks grinnin’ when they play it. This here game takes place in a world where the whole dang place got turned upside down with folks turnin’ into zombie-like creatures they call “freakers.” It’s like a big ol’ wasteland where everything’s fallin’ apart, and you gotta figure out how to survive.

First off, let me tell ya, this game starts off a bit slow. Don’t expect no fancy fireworks or big action-packed scenes right from the get-go. Nah, it takes its time. You play as Deacon St. John, a fella who ain’t much different from other survivors. He’s out there tryin’ to find his wife, but it’s all just a bunch of runnin’ around, fixin’ up bikes, and doin’ odd jobs for folks who been hidin’ out in the wilderness. Ain’t no sugarcoatin’ it—this game’s pace is like a lazy river on a hot summer day.

Now, you might be wonderin’ about them “freakers” I mentioned. Well, they come at ya like a big ol’ swarm of locusts! There’s bunches of ‘em, and you best be ready to handle it. But, truth be told, the game can feel a bit repetitive at times. You go into a spot, fight off some freakers, maybe do a little bit of cleanin’ up, then head on to the next area. It don’t always feel like it’s goin’ anywhere new, y’know? Still, it’s got a way of suckin’ ya in, especially when you get all geared up with weapons and tools to fight back.

One thing I gotta give credit for is the open world in Days Gone. It’s huge! You get to roam all around, from mountains to forests, and there’s plenty to see. You can get lost for hours just ridin’ your bike around, findin’ camps, and meetin’ other survivors. It ain’t just about killin’ freakers, no sir. There’s things to discover, like hidden spots, side missions, and challenges that’ll keep ya busy for a good long while. Some folks say the story ain’t as good as others, but I reckon it holds its own. It don’t have them big ol’ twists like other games, but it’s got heart, and that’s what counts.

Speaking of the bike, now that’s somethin’ important. You’re gonna be spendin’ a lot of time on that ol’ motorcycle of yours. Gotta keep it in good shape, fix it up when it breaks, and keep gas in it—ain’t no place to be without fuel, trust me. It’s your main way of gettin’ around, and while it can be a pain to keep it in shape, it sure feels good to ride that thing through the wide open world.

Now let’s talk ’bout the bad stuff. Folks out there complain that it can get mighty repetitive. Every time you run into a bunch of freakers, it’s pretty much the same thing—kill ‘em all, loot the place, and move on. Some people say that the game ain’t quite as good as other big-name games, like that “Last of Us” one, but you gotta remember—this one’s got its own charm. Sure, it ain’t perfect, but it does its job. The soundtrack’s real nice too. Music’s not just somethin’ to listen to while you play, it really sets the mood for the game. If you like a good tune while you’re survivin’, this one’s got ya covered.

And don’t even get me started on the hordes of freakers. Now, they’re a whole different breed of challenge! It’s somethin’ else to try and take down a big ol’ mob of ‘em. It’ll have ya sweatin’ and thinkin’ quick on your feet. But, truth be told, it gets a little too familiar once you’ve done it a few times. It’s a lot of runnin’ around, shootin’, and swingin’ weapons, which some folks might get tired of after a while.

Overall, I’d say this game’s worth a try. It might not be the best thing since sliced bread, but it ain’t bad neither. If you like open-world games and don’t mind doin’ a bit of repetitive work, then you’ll probably find yourself enjoyin’ Days Gone a fair bit. It’s got a story, it’s got action, and it’s got a whole mess of things to do. It might not be perfect, but it’s got enough to keep ya comin’ back for more.

Final Thoughts: If you’re lookin’ for a game with a deep story and constant excitement, this one might not be your cup of tea. But if you like a slow burn with lots of open-world exploration and don’t mind some repeatin’ tasks here and there, then Days Gone could be right up your alley. It ain’t the best, but it’s far from the worst!
