Darksiders vs Days Gone
Darksiders
Darksiders is an action-adventure game with a rather dark theme. In this game, you'll assume the role of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War. Accused of causing a war between heaven and hell, you have been indicted for your crimes. However, you are given one last chance to return to Earth to search for the true culprits behind the bloodbath and perhaps prove your innocence. Being a Horseman, you have supernatural abilities in addition to an arsenal of weapons that will come in handy when you are hacking and slashing your way across a Hell-controlled Earth. There are tons of ways for you to develop your character as well, giving you the opportunity to customize War to fit your play style.Although the combat is satisfying, the gameplay can be somewhat repetitive after some time since all you need to do is to simply rack up your combos. The creatures and bosses you'll fighting against aren't too difficult either, making things rather boring after awhile. That being said, the game is pretty worth its price only for its epic Diablo-like story alone.
Days Gone
Days Gone is a Playstation-exclusive, open world zombie-survival game set in a -obviously- post-apocalyptic world. In this game, you'll get to play as Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter who not only struggles to survive but also to find a meaning to life in a world that has gone to the dogs. Featuring a profound storyline where you'll get to experience what it feels like being in Deacon's shoes, you'll also get to enjoy plenty of zombie-killing, in addition to scavenging for resources, crafting better tools and weapons, exploring the world on Deacon's cool Drifter Bike, and completing a wide variety of challenges in whichever way, manner or approach you like. The game also has some really stunning game environments, cities (mostly ruined or abandoned ones, of course) and biomes to immerse yourself in.From the many sneak peeks, Days Gone seems to have the powerful narrative that is guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings while having a fun third-person shooter gameplay and a zombie theme that many gamers can get behind. The game is slated to be released early 2018, but you can pre-order your disc and be ready to dive into some exciting zombie-killing action once Days Gone is launched.
