You can't magically spawn your motorcycle, for example.Īs a biker, Deacon's motorbike is as core to the gameplay experience as it is your weaponry, and maintaining it forms part of the game's progression mechanics. So much of Days Gone's gameplay mechanics already feel designed to maximize immersion and realism, as far as you can without hitting tedium. I've been playing the game on Normal difficulty so far, but I'm mulling starting over on the games' survival mode difficulty for a closer prepper apocalypse feel. Stealth ironically feels a tad more crucial in Days Gone than any of the modern Assassin's Creed games, that's for sure.ĭays Gone (Image credit: Windows Central) Weather effects, smog, forest mist, and rain also affect visibility, and thus, your proficiency in stealth. Day and night cycles are an important part of survival in the game, since the zombie 'Freakers' shun the light. My PC isn't the most powerful out there, but the visuals are breathtaking. It might seem like a little thing, but it's in those little things that separate an average game from an amazing game, for me.ĭays Gone is also just utterly stunning. Rather than seeing the same canned execution animations over and over, Deacon has a variety of contextual animations based on your position, movement, and currently equipped weapon. The character animations and combat movements are top-shelf quality too, as you might expect from a studio inside Sony's stable. I like feeling a bit more vulnerable in combat, I like having to think about when to take shots and spend a bit more time lining things up. I've seen people criticize the shooting, oft-comparing it to Red Dead Redemption 2. In any case, some of the other criticisms I've seen about Days Gone haven't exactly held water for me.
