Gets old fast. Its generic in every way. Combat, crafting, story, its all present but none of it is fleshed out. Basic crafting, empty open world, characters you don't care about no matter how many unskippable cut scenes you are forced through. The characters have stories! Who cares though? I couldn't make myself, maybe you will have better luck.

Honestly, one of the most underrated games of all times. It has a slow start but that benefits the game as things get way more intense as the game goes on. I genuinely think it's one of the best game's i've played, and i've played a hell of a lot of games. It truly is a tragedy we'll likely never get the intended trilogy that was originally planned, but I guess better to have one truly amazing game than none at all. …

Days Gone: A Survival Story With Real Heart PC, 250+ hours played Days Gone is a survival zombie open world masterpiece, and it's one of my top three games of all time. The progression, skill tree, and mechanics are all solid, but what elevates it is the story: engaging, real, and full of heart. At its center is Deacon and Sarah. Lost love, searching, hope, and faith anchor Deacon's arc and give his progression real …

You know that feeling of emptiness after finishing a great book or a TV show? That’s exactly how Days Gone feels. The game manages to combine high-octane action with a deeply personal, touching story. Deacon St. John completely steals your heart, and your faithful motorcycle ends up feeling like family. It breaks my heart to know that we’re not getting a proper sequel. The project was criminally underrated at …

After finishing Days Gone twice, I can confidently say that I absolutely recommend it. The story is fantastic, filled with emotional highs and lows, and the gameplay is just as enjoyable. I've always played on the hardest difficulty, and honestly, I think that's where the game truly shines. It strikes the perfect balance between being challenging and fair. You're definitely going to die if you're not careful, but …

positive · AI labelView post →Well, that's a grim day, so I'll open a thread, not pens because that was too recent. A friend asked for an older video game that holds up, and my standard answers are SLEEPING DOGS and DAYS GONE. Toss your comfort game in the Replies and break the hold of this unpleasant arc of time.

positive · AI labelView post →Days Gone is an okay game, but remastering it so soon is a little unexpected. It seems like an easy way to resell the same game with some slight improvements for the PS5.
neutral · AI labelView post →At first I really liked the game, there are a lot good in it: the first cutscene is a fantastic story beginning, the characters at first seemed very interesting, zombies' behavior is really cool - i really loved them, how they are not a real threat when they are alone, how they became a challenge when they are in a small group, and how hard are they when there is a horde of them. They try to evade bullets or your melee hits and they are quite fast. I liked the survival part in it, especially on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We need a name for that Days Gone / Forspoken style of game where it makes a very poor first impression but starts to get really good a little bit later on once you start to gain more abilities and face different kinds of challenges
