Days Gone Remastered

The authors also focused on the graphic design, increasing the drawing distance of vegetation, improving shadows and lighting, and also enriching the game with the support of VRR technology. Two graphic modes have been implemented in the remaster - quality and performance.

Photo mode was improved and now it also features new functions. The remaster also brings previously unavailable accessibility features, as well as the use of unique functions of the DualSense controller.

PC version

Days Gone Remastered wasn't released as a separate product on PC. This is mainly because that the PC release from 2021 already offered substantial upgrades compared to the PS4 original. PC players are still being offered a chance to purchase a paid upgrade to gain access to the new content from the PS5 remaster.

Story

In Days Gone Remastered we enter a post-apocalyptic world that has been pushed to the brink of extinction by a mysterious virus that turns people into wild creatures reminiscent of zombies (called "freakers" by the survivors). The main character of the game is Deacon St. John. He's a bounty hunter, who is trying to survive in a hostile and dangerous reality, while also trying to cope with the loss of his beloved.

Gameplay

World exploration and quests

In Days Gone Remastered the action is viewed from a third-person perspective (TPP). The game provides us with an open world that we can freely explore. Although Deacon can move on foot, a motorcycle significantly improves the ability to cover larger distances. However, it should be remembered that the machine needs fuel, which forces us to not only replenish its level whenever the opportunity arises, but also to save it (for example, by overcoming sloping terrain in neutral gear).

The plot is driven forward by main quests, during which we get to know various characters. From time to time, we also witness flashbacks from Deacon's past. The game also offers side missions and activities, and opponents often hinder us in their implementation.

Enemies, combat and stealth

On our path, we can encounter both hostile people and "freakers", whose strength lies in their numbers. This last one makes itself known especially when we come across one of the hordes, counting even several hundred individuals, moving around the game world in real time. Eliminating groups of hostile creatures requires the use of a considerable amount of ammunition (or ingenuity and ensuring a tactical advantage, using the environment for this purpose).

Given that enemies often have a significant numerical advantage over us, a better solution than engaging in open combat (which can be facilitated by the ability to slow down time) is to act quietly and sneak behind their backs, eliminating them by surprise.

Arsenal, crafting and upgrades

The game provides us with an extensive arsenal including pistols, rifles, shotguns, grenades and explosive charges. Additionally, a crafting system was implemented here, as well as the possibility of upgrading both Deacon's statistics and equipment, as well as his motorcycle.
