The open-world zombie genre receives a fresh coat of paint with the release of Days Gone Remastered. Set in a post-apocalyptic United States, two years after a devastating pandemic transformed many into zombie-like creatures called “freakers,” the game casts players as Deacon St. John, a survivor tasked with navigating this dangerous new world.

Enhanced Experience on PS5 Pro

While the core gameplay remains familiar, the remastered version aims to provide a more immersive experience, notably for PlayStation 5 pro users. The question remains: does this remaster offer enough added value to warrant a return trip to the freaker-infested landscape?

Remastered versions of games often boast improved visuals and smoother gameplay, and Days Gone Remastered is no exception. The real test, however, lies in whether these enhancements create a truly new and compelling gaming experience. The goal is to elevate the original to new heights, much like how a remaster can breathe new life into a classic.

Gameplay and Narrative

Days Gone Remastered blends elements of zombie survival, open-world exploration, and biker culture. Players navigate the ravaged landscape, battling freakers, scavenging for resources, and uncovering the mysteries behind the pandemic. The narrative focuses on Deacon St. John’s personal journey as he confronts loss, betrayal, and the struggle for survival.
