Upcoming Zombie Games that Proves the Genre Just Won’t Die
Days Gone
No, Sony Bend, we’re not buying this “They’re Freakers not zombies” thing. They’re zombies, ok? You know it, I know it.
And honestly, Days Gone might not have won over the gaming community so far as much as other PS4 exclusives this generation have in the build-up to launch, but which zombie fan could not be excited for this game?
Huge hordes of enemies, the freedom to experiment with different weapons and traps, what seems to be a compelling story, and you get to ride around on a kick-ass motorbike like Daryl from the Walking Dead. Days Gone looks like everything zombie fans have ever wanted.
The argument from the wider community is that Days Gone is a zombie experience launching at a time when zombie games are going out of fashion. Yeah… this list is kind of debunking that one.
The hope is that Days Gone feels as good to play as it looks. So much of the game seems to rely on a balance between exciting gameplay and how dynamic the environment is. If Days Gone descends into generic open-world tropes too often, that could really spoil the experience it’s trying to create.
We’ll just have to see how it holds up when Days Gone launches on April 26.
