A must for zombie fans: Steam offers popular open-world shooters at a much cheaper price

» Watch video: Days Gone: Official PC Features Trailer

The open-world blockbuster from PlayStation is currently significantly cheaper on Steam.

The post-apocalyptic action-adventure Days Gone is currently on Steam available for just 15.99 euros. The PC platform thus grants an attractive discount of exactly 60 percent on the regular recommended retail price of 39.99 euros. The offer runs until October 8th (watch on Steam).

What are the strengths and weaknesses of Days Gone on Steam?

In the dark open-world game you take control of the former outlaw and bounty hunter Deacon St. John. Two years after the outbreak of a devastating zombie pandemic, he roams the devastated Pacific Northwest of America.

In the constant search for valuable materials for traps, better weapons and a new meaning in life, you scour completely abandoned rural settlements. Not only do you have to defend yourself against brutal looters, but above all beware of the deadly Freaker hordeswho move mercilessly through the country.

This is what we like about Days Gone:

  • + Gripping story
  • + Dynamic, dangerous open world
  • + Graphics impress on the PC

We like this less:

  • – Missions are sometimes repetitive
  • – Open world can seem formulaic

The game world itself changes dynamically through fluid day-night changes and extreme weather conditions such as heavy snowfall. These factors directly influence the behavior of those infected. They adapt to the circumstances, which is why you have to carefully weigh up your tactics between stealth and open confrontation.

PC players receive a technically polished version of the end-time adventure. The developers have removed the frame rate limitation and significantly improved the graphics. This is reflected in a finer representation of the forests, an expanded field of vision and a higher level of detail at large distances. Thanks to the verification for the Steam Deck, the game can also be easily experienced on the go on the handheld.

This is what Steam players say about Days Gone

The Steam rating falls at over 112,000 votes very positive out of. Players praise the emotional story, the dense atmosphere and the combat system against the Freaker hordes. There is occasional criticism for minor gameplay errors, lengths in the middle section and controls that are heavily designed for controllers.
