Days Gone PS4 Review: The open-world zombie action-adventure video game we’ve wanted

While I am not the greatest fan of the open-world genre, whatever survival-horror having an end-of-the-world background -- whether it is an all-consuming virus, divine intervention or social collapse -- and I am first in line to try it. Zombies, guns and sandboxes -- does not get old.



Lots of people, to my surprise, have scoffed at Days Gone and its own brand of gritty story-telling and fast-moving undead -- known as Freakers. Perhaps it's the admittedly silly title swap, or perhaps it's just plain (and ridiculous!) zombie fatigue. In any case, I jumped in with a combination of enthusiasm and caution, and thankfully discovered that the high-quality zombie slaying, survivor-drama experience I hoped for, just somewhat bogged down by choppy opening hours and recurring bugs.



Days Gone is a compelling post-apocalypse survival-horror title that will appeal best to fans of the open-world genre and all the tantalising horror scenarios that come with a zombie backdrop. This is not a cheap ps4 game, however it worth every penny.

Doom: The Dark Ages Combat - A Shield, A Shotgun, and An Identity Crisis

Image
Shield Mechanics: Glitches and Core Combat The shield is the whole game, or at least it acts like it, and this is a shame for most players who buy PS5 FPS games . You block, you bash, maybe you pose a little, and somehow you stay alive. For most runs, that plate of metal feels glued to my wrist. Once or twice, though, it just stalls like a broken toy. Guns fire, monsters scream, and there I am with a slab that refuses to budge. What looks like a new dodge or shine turns out to be a bug-a nasty freeze that vanishes after a reload but wrecks the rhythm anyway. Losing the jump button? Sure. This feels worse because survival depends on that single press. Shotgun Bliss: Unleashing Iconic Power When the shield cooperates, the rhythm of battle snaps into place. There are no perk timers chewing at your nerves, no dinky ammo counters blinking red, just the beat of your heart and a shotgun that kicks like it wanted out of the screen. Two versions hang on your belt, both lethal, both ridiculou...

MotoGP 25: Deep Dive into Accessibility, Immersion, and Innovation

Image
The MotoGP series has long been a staple on our blog, a tradition we've happily kept alive since we first spun laps on  MotoGP 20 , a game that really dug its heels in with a no-nonsense approach to simulation. We then saw the evolution with  MotoGP 22 , which felt like a significant step forward in balancing challenge with accessibility, before diving into MotoGP 24, a solid entry that refined the experience even further, without forgetting MotoGP 23, the first published for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Having logged countless lazy evenings in MotoGP since the PS2 days, MotoGP 25 registers both a homecoming and a hopeful leap. This isn’t merely the latest roster shuffle in a familiar wrapper; it feels like the first entry that consciously negotiates the tightrope between sim purism and arcade accessibility. Whether your idea of throttle discipline is drafting the back of the pack or splitting tenths in a seat of leather, the game has a spot for you. It isn’t...

Understanding Car Classes in Forza Horizon 5 and Their Influence on Gameplay

Image
Forza Horizon 5 exhibits beauty not only in the cars but also in how they are organized, how they compete, and how they force players to adapt. The class system is the invisible hand guiding every race, every tune, and every white-knuckle moment of FH5 on Mexico's roads. The game is not just about raw speed per race; it is about philosophy, absurdity, and everything in between. PI, Performance, And The Art of Balance In FH5, every car is given a Performance Index (PI) score, which serves as a performance measurement. The PI score is a numerical rating starting from 100 to 999, indicating how 'good' a car is. The PI score of a vehicle isn't just limited to horsepower or top speed; it is calculated based on acceleration, handling, braking, weight, and even aerodynamics. For instance, in Forza Horizon 5 , a muscle car half the Lola's Pi might have higher horsepower than the Lota's, but its raw speed does not account for the supple grip that the Elise has on the ...
