Over all, I would like to say that Days of Planet Earth is an engaging survival that takes you into the unknown world where your choice will determine the outcome. This game with its graphic view, a twisty story, and the nontrivial gameplay is the real survival simulation that I highly recommend to everyone who is interested in games of this kind.
The first thing that strikes the viewers in context of Days of Planet Earth is its well polished art direction. The setting is well polished in terms of graphics and each stage presents accurately explored locations of a devastated planet. Ranging from the deserted cities and moors to the eerie and forlorn places all the time feeling abandoned and threatened the surroundings look great. This is further complimented by the sound that creates suspense by playing desperate music and sounds that make the viewer feel tense.
As it was mentioned, the concept of gameplay in Days of Planet Earth is based on the survival. There will be splintered rationed resources, inventory management and decision making with which the player has to survive the game environment. Survival mechanics are nice and balanced as well, there are not too hard to make regular players throw their controllers at the screen, but not easy enough for gamers to have monotonous wins. Every action has its repercussions, which makes even turn-based games much more engaging experience you wouldn’t want to miss.
The story is another callable points that witness the grace of the game. It is a chronicle of hope and hopelessness, coming at you with good acting, character studies and nice dilemmas. The decisions which are made influence not only the character and his chances to survive but also the course of the plot which branches off into several potential scenarios.
Pros and Cons of Days of Planet Earth
✅ Pros:

❌Cons:
❌Difficult learning curve – Some mechanics are hard to get into for the new player; this is especially true early.
❌Merciless Sections-There are places in the game that require planning of some sort, which would frustrate casual gamers.

Final verdict
However, it will also important to note that this may sound a bit complicated to a normal player especially in the early stages of the game. Some sections can be quite unforgiving in a sense that a lot of pre-planning is needed and at times there is a need to figure out the best ways to go around a certain part. Even so, Days of Planet Earth is a much qualitative piece of work that should be experienced, or at least tried by everybody. It is a game that should remain with you even after a session of the game.
