Overview
Description

Days Gone is an action-adventure survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic Oregon. Players control Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter fighting to survive against hordes of Freakers, the zombie-like creatures that have devastated the world. The game features a vast open world to explore, a variety of missions and side quests, and a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle that affects gameplay.

Headhunter puts you in the shoes of Jack Wade, an ex‑cop turned bounty hunter in a near‑future city where private law enforcement battles gang crime. After escaping an operating table and waking from a coma, you must earn licenses, upgrade your gear, and hunt down the most wanted criminals while uncovering your own past. The game blends third‑person shooting, stealth, and motorcycle racing across a gritty urban landscape, all from an over‑the‑shoulder perspective.
