I must be one of the few people who hadn't actually played this the first time around (in the PS3 era): truth be told, I've never really got the pop culture love for Zombies.

However, I knew it was by the team behind the Uncharted games, and so picked it up when it was part of the PSN free games package, and thought I would give it a whirl. Now I've finished it, I have to say: I still prefer the Uncharted games.

Detailing the trials and travails of pottie-mouthed Ellie and Joel in a post-apocalyptic (pandemic?) world, there's no denying the skill and attention to detail put into the plot"; it's just a pity I found the game to be very 'samey' after a while.

Generally speaking, I'm not really a fan of Zombies (or the undead), in either movies or in games in which they are the main antagonist.

Which is probably why I gave this a miss when it was first released, only picking it up when it was released on PS Plus.

(Yes, I know the Freakers are never called Zombies but, let's face it, that's what they really are).

I have to say that, while slow starting, the story in this open world game was actually quite enjoyable, with Sam Witwer doing a particularly fine job as the protaganist Deacon St John, the former outlaw biker who you play as in this post apocalyptic world.

Freaker horde missions, though? Not a fan.

(I preferred sneaking around, or the occasional gunfight)

Futuristic Cavemen and Robot Dinosaurs
Although this game was originally slated for release in late 2016, it eventually dropped in February this year. Think the mechanics of the rebooted Tomb Raider series, mixed with Assassin’s Creed and you have Horizon Zero Dawn. The game includes an awesome open world to explore, a host of interesting characters and a whole bunch of badass robot dinosaurs to hunt. With beautiful visuals and solid mechanics, the environment is a joy to traverse. The game feels alive, which is something of a rarity in post apocalyptic open world games recently and sets Horizon apart from the more dreary games in this genre. Some of the dialogue leaves a bit to be desired, but other than that, this is an awesome world well worth exploring.
