Good.

Masterpiece.

One of the most engaging and fun games I've played.

A Story portrays main protagonist Deacon and his brofriend Boozer. Together, they struggle and survive in the midds of the violent chaos of the apocalypse, motivating and helping each other to push forward. It's a story of fidelity, friendship and hope. I was pleasantly surprised with meaningful, consistent decisions of characters, their agendas and aims. It created an engaging, believable and at the end complete experience.
Motorcycle was enjoyable and responsive to control. With better modifications, it will make traveling more efficient while giving you the essential feeling of progression.
Graphics are absolutely pleasing to look at, with great attention to detail.
Gun play and Melee combat are simple but require a little bit of practice.
Mutants have believable AI, and they are from the start an absolutely terrifying enemy, especially in the hordes.

I've decided to play DG in survival mode. Which made the gameplay a bit difficult due to blocked fast travel and hidden UI. Nevertheless, I enjoyed traveling and exploring on a motorcycle all the more, and in addition, I unlocked an achievement. However, I also encountered bugs and glitches. One of them was that the game shut down by itself while playing. But throughout my gameplay it only happened once. Another problem was the unloaded environment, with me bumping into invisible cars or falling through a wooden bridge. Overall, I really enjoyed the game, and I will definitely replay Days Gone again in time.

The story was a bit weaker, especially in terms of the script. The humor was at most partially consistent with the base series, and the final ending was surprisingly quick. Which left me hollow and confused. Graphically, the game mainly impressed in certain parts, such as the outer test chambers. Smooth, intensive lights, open skies with a great calm soundtrack and level design in a post-apocalyptic environment definitely added a pleasant visual feel to the game and were a welcome change from our beloved under-ground laboratories. As for gameplay, the developers mostly succeed in trying to follow the feel of the original game, creating their own levels, elements and adding new mechanics. Nevertheless, it was a little strange that only blue portal gun is used in the levels for a notable part of the game, which I did not really understand. The game was created as a mod that is an extension of the base game. I think players will play the original series first, so there's no reason to use one portal as some introduction or tutorial to the game. Perhaps instead, there could have been more space for new and interesting mechanics. Solving the test chambers was fairly simple but also, in few levels, rather challenging, which was honestly entertaining. About halfway through the game, new mechanics like laser beams, a power switch and a waterfall were introduced, which added a really nice change, but I felt that test chamber solutions weren't used to their full potential. And I would perhaps welcome a combination of these mechanics in a more complex and difficult form. Overall, the mod has a some problems that need to be polished, but nothing major. And it was an enjoyable experience to play it. If you like the Portal series, I recommend giving the mod a try.

Masterpiece.

I've played this game before ! I said, I played this game before.

Very interesting experience. The story explains the creation of the world from the mythology of Perm chud tribes. A beautiful blend of artistic talent opens up your mind and imagination. The game itself is very simple and fun.

Platform game with simple game mechanics. The story catches you in the heart and let you think about good old family values. Atmosfere is really dark, but the hope, that conceals the main character, will enlighten your path. There is one negative thing to say. Game occasionaly crashed. So guys... Save the game !
