Story straight point
The first notable aspect of Days Gone is its objectivity to the story. It doesn't fill up with long cinematics and dialogues full of blah blah blah...

Bend Studio's title places you at the epicenter of a pandemic that has ravaged the world two years after the outbreak. And that. Of course, throughout the journey, you will want to look for answers to everything that happened, but what is offered here goes straight to what matters: hordes of freakers, for you to face along with countless other challenges.

The protagonist of Days Gone is Deacon St. John, who, in his heyday, was a member of an MC. When the world began to fall apart, the biker and his wife, Sarah, were separated by fate. Deacon survives at the end of the world alongside his best friend, Boozer.

Sarah is taken by one of the rescue helicopters circling the areas affected by the epidemic, but there was no room for more people, leaving the protagonist behind. Then, two years pass and one doesn't hear from the other during that period. It is in this context that you take on the role of Deacon, who seeks answers about the whereabouts of his loved one in the hope of finding her alive.

Days Gone is a survival game. Surviving is different from living. There is a strong emphasis on resource management; You need to have an explorer's nose to find scrap, kerosene, bottles, rags, pipes and other materials that are used to create items, which has a system similar to TLOUs.

It is possible to customize bladed weapons by placing nails on the end of a baseball bat, a rotating saw on the end of a board, or even a combination of blades on a table leg. Kitchen or fire axes, machetes and pickaxes are other equipment that Deacon finds in this hostile world, and remember: they all break, just like in Dead Island or Dying Light, which are also focused on survival. Ammunition is scarce and will require minimal rationing, in fact more than you might think.

The search for supplies requires, in addition to a clinical look at the details of the environment, the hoods and trunks of cars, trucks, ambulances, jeeps, etc. In each, specific features are found.

Police vehicles, e.g. ammunition; Ordinary cars often have general supplies; ambulances hold healing items. And it is not guaranteed that you will find such resources.

Abandoned houses, cabins in small roadside towns, mountainous regions, factories and caves, there are good rewards for those who have the patience to explore.

An extremely important element in Days Gone, your motorcycle is, by far, your main journey companion. A fundamental aspect of navigating the game world and is part of the survival proposal. Of everything you can improve during the adventure, believe me: boosting the bike will be a priority.

Gasoline is a resource that runs out and must be refilled frequently so that your transport does not leave you at the mercy of grotesque creatures. Being without your bike in the middle of this commotion is the same feeling as being naked in public. You want to get out of there, you want to hide and feel protected. You can also find gallons of fuel scattered around the world, stations or even mechanics who charge you to fill your tank.

The mix of survival, heated shootouts and stealth approaches translates into very enjoyable gameplay, built on well-known mechanics, but which, when well applied, deliver a robust experience.

💀 There are breakers, who are strong enemies;
💀 The watchtowers, which scream and alert other freakers to their presence;
💀 Bleach, even faster than common frenetic ones;
💀 Geckos, which are teenage freakers.
💀 And others. Animals also pose danger: wolves, bears, cougars, crows and runners, which are infected versions of wolves...

Days Gone's progression system, in general, is addictive: everything gives you XP points to exchange for skills, camp credits and confidence. Over time, merchants in small communities trust Deacon's image more and expand their range of products, offering new weapons, more motorcycle upgrades and other supplies.

You will need to develop strategies to use the environment, plant traps, find explosive barrels and plan an escape route. Don't forget: up to 500 freakers with extraordinary strength and speed, equal to those in the movie “I Am Legend”, are chasing you.


Despite the variety of things to do in the post-pandemic vastness, Days Gone has many “take and bring” missions, with that old “go to point X and bring something back to point Y” structure. This is even necessary to introduce some game mechanics, but it repeats itself a little too much.

In contrast, Days Gone's content has a majestic scope: you have to liberate camps from bandits, clear infestations of frenzied nest-burners, restore power to NERO bases, and pore over no less than 240 collectibles, plus optional missions that add up. the narrative and better develop the secondary characters.

Days Gone is supported by what, in my humble opinion, is one of the primordial aspects of the current games industry: rhythm. The beginning is a little slow, but the adventure soon picks up and takes 30 to 35 hours for those who follow in a straight line, just on the main missions, and easily more than 50 hours for those who want to explore the entire content of the map, divided into three layers. that expand as you progress through the story.

I hope that you all have the same impact as I did when you reach the third part of this map. You know when you smell the end of the game, when everything starts to come together, and even then, you realize that there's still a long way to go? Days Gone reserves these surprises and achieves its desired place in the sun.

The human world has died. He died under the attack of a rapidly spreading virus that turned the population into a mob of primitive, bloodthirsty monsters. Efforts to defend themselves or at least manage the situation on any organized, systematic level had not the slightest chance of success. The end came very quickly and therefore there was no one to react to it. Only those who hid survived. And they were extremely lucky.

One of them is the protagonist, biker Deacon St. John. A taciturn tough guy who isn't in the habit of letting his inner self seep through his stoic facade. He doesn't show his feelings. He can't do it very well. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have them. Deacon is human, vulnerable, half-broken like the rest of a once-glorious civilization, full of fears, insecurities, but also a hope and a chivalry that others don't often share. It's not a plastic shot. And that's why I liked him almost immediately.

Days Gone is a well written game. Sure, the key plot twists aren't anything we haven't seen anywhere else, but that can be said of the vast majority of stories in the world. What is important is that the narrative is delivered with a sense of pace, gradation and tension-building, that the plot is believable and that the behavior of the characters is relatable. And if not that, then at least understand him, because the actors do not behave contrary to the logic of their characters - which is a huge plus for the quality of the story.
Whether you enjoy Days Gone as a whole depends heavily on your personal ranking of the importance of individual gameplay elements. If, like me, you don't mind a game when it manages to make you forget where you're really sitting for a while, and because of that you don't have a problem overlooking a game weakness here and there, I have to wholeheartedly recommend Days Gone to you. 85%
