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)

While I'm not usually averse to a bit of fantasy every now and then, I have to say: I found this one to be hard going. Despite a promising start, I found it to become somewhat overblown and drawn out and just not that engaging: I never really connected with any of the characters or the situations they faced.
There were times, even, when I was tempted to abandon it altogether / skip chapters, but stuck at it out of sheer bloody-mindedness rather than due to any interest in the story
I'm sorry to say so, but I doubt I'll pick up the second in the series. :(

They lied.
Slow, plodding, and lacking any sense of peril or tension, this is set in a post-apocalyptic world where seemingly invulnerable blind monsters (which we're never told where they come from) hunt by sound, and sound alone - which explains why there's not even any bird song. This then follows a tight-knit family trying to survive in this new reality, complete with a deaf kid and a mother about to give birth.
Yes, all the cliches are here: creaking floorboards, jagged nails sticking up from the wood, a kid who blames herself for the loss of her younger sibling early on in the film ...
About the only good thing I can say is that this is short, with a running time of just over 1.5 hours.
