3 Years Later And This PlayStation Exclusive Is Still Seriously Underrated — GameTyrant

Days Gone is a fantastic open-world action game with light survival mechanics and heavy zombie shooting. The premise is easy enough to excite any zombie fan, with the promise of enormous zombie hordes to annihilate and a story that progressively unfolds the longer you play.

The issue with Days Gone was not the gameplay, but the lack of polish that the game launched with and the sporadic dips in performance that just weren’t common in PlayStation exclusive titles. This was a time during the end of the PS4’s life cycle and the expectations for this game were set high. Very high.

Not long after launch, Bend Studio released a patch that fixed the majority of the issues that plagued the game and started releasing post-launch content. The free updates included a brand new game mode that placed players in a challenge mode with hordes of freakers and pitted them to last as long as possible. Players can choose to play as a number of different characters helping add replayability to an already huge game. With the addition of a Survivor difficulty and New Game Plus option, the game had evolved into a fuller package and offered more content for its players.
