GTA 5 Zombie Apocalypse PS4: How Does Days Gone Compare?

Days Gone, the latest survival horror game from Sony Bend Studio, has finally arrived on the PlayStation 4. As fans of the genre eagerly await a new experience that will challenge and thrill them, we decided to put Days Gone through its paces and see how it compares to other zombie apocalypse games like GTA V.

From the start, it's clear that Days Gone is heavily influenced by The Last of Us. In fact, the game's early moments closely mirror those of the classic title, with a slow burn approach that takes time to establish the world and its characters. This means that players will need to sit through a series of cutscenes, loading sequences, and tutorial windows before they're given the freedom to explore the post-apocalyptic landscape.

As the game progresses, we find ourselves immersed in the world of Freakers, where a deadly virus has turned humans into vicious zombies. The gameplay is solid, with a focus on survival and scavenging for resources to keep our protagonist, Deacon, alive. The game's visuals are impressive, with detailed environments and convincing character models.

But despite its many strengths, Days Gone feels like it follows the same 'recipe' as so many other zombie games. From the infected hordes to the makeshift settlements, there's a sense of familiarity that can't be shaken. This doesn't mean that the game isn't enjoyable – far from it – but rather that it lacks a certain spark of originality.

In the end, Days Gone is a solid and interesting experience, with plenty of opportunities for players to explore and fight their way through the zombie apocalypse. While it may not break new ground in terms of storytelling or gameplay mechanics, it's still worth checking out for fans of the genre. Just be prepared for some slow-paced early moments before things really heat up.
