Days Gone is a mix between Last of Us for the environment, atmosphere and story and Max Mad for the gameplay and open world, so if this mix sounds interesting to you, the game is worth a try, but it's not without its faults.
From a story point of view, this is a post apo zombie game where we follow the story of a biker trying to survive. The story is fairly classic but interesting, the characters are varied enough and the whole thing is pretty cool. The story is quite similar to Last of Us, but less well executed and less intense in its emotional peaks.
From a graphical point of view, the game looks pretty good as a whole, though a little less so during the cinematics or the close-ups of the characters' faces, which aren't incredible. The environments are varied and the weather changes look pretty good.
In terms of gameplay, the game is, like Mad Max, an open-world game, and it's a shame that it offers almost no interesting side-quests and almost only the same style of mission. As a result, the open world isn't really exploited, which I think is a shame. This makes the game rather repetitive, especially with a 30-40 hour lifespan. The gunplay is pretty good and the motorbike part is really good once you've acquired a few upgrades. The fact that you can make choices in the game for quests could have been interesting, but unfortunately it's only present for the first quest.
Nevertheless, the atmosphere and use of zombies is pretty good.
Finally, the music and sound design are really good.
To conclude, I think this game could have a big appeal for people who like the Walking Dead-style zombie universe and are looking for an open-world game that's not too pretentious and has a pretty good story.
