I recently blew the dust off of my copy of the game and decided now was the time to see if Bend Studio’s open world zombie fest is deserving of a second look or if it’s better off left in days gone. Days Gone arrived almost exactly one year ago and because of it’s inability to stand out in the crowd, many gamers disregarded this title as an also-ran. So what happens when a studio merges both of these overused tropes and dresses it up in a package that draws about a thousand comparisons to the Playstation flagship series The Last of Us? The answer is you get written off pretty quick. Much has also been said about the stable of first party Sony exclusives are mostly 3rd person narrative heavy adventure titles. It’s a popular go-to for action adventures and shooters for the last decade. It’s been widely documented that the video game space has been overrun with zombie games.
