Days Gone Review Thread (See Staff Post)
- Thread starter Neat
- Start date
I'm probably one of the few who is not only loving Days Gone but sees the game at 64 hours in as an easy 9.0/10. Days Gone is an excellent game. Took 8-12 hours for me to fully get into the game but that's also because im loving the stealth, I like playing slow, methodical and doing everything (including collectibles) in each region until moving on to the next. Or at the very least, as much as I possibly can do before advancing the story lines which all range from decent to great. Love the setup of the story lines and the menu interface is excellent. My previous current game of the year was Metro Exodus but it's already been surpassed by Days Gone and I still have a ways to go. Overall, an excellent game that is right up there with Horizon Zero Dawn for me and may even surpass it but that remains to be seen.
I think word of mouth will carry this game very far. It's currently my favorite game this year next to maybe RE 2, and I'm making sure all my friends know about it :-)
It's not about cash being tight.. $60 ain't cheap to be disappointed and I don't like to gamble is all.
It got a 5/10 by a site that usually is spot on -
No multiplayer and it's needed imo for this type of game -
30fps -
A solid no thx from me but id be open to try a demo and maybe take a chance at -$20.
Just keep your money. No open world of this caliber runs at more than 30fps. Also, it's a 50 to 100 hours long single player game, if you prefer online games, just stick to online games. -_-
They needed to direct people to the focus shot and escape skills much much sooner during the opening hours.
I like all types of games :)
Zelda BOTW and TW3 are fine without mp.
But again IMO..this type mp is a huge want..
50-100 hours? I thought i read 20-40?
50-100 is great.
So I just finished my review and it is up on our site.

I loved it, people keep complaining about how the Gameplay is safe, but I actually enjoyed it, and there is a lot of space between mission types. The story is also one of the most bleakest, depressing things I have experienced since Last of Us.

I read the whole review. The author chose to run and gun through the game without engaging with other gameplay systems, and then blamed the game for it. Also, in the comments there were some not so great things said about Era, by the author even. Swell.
I ran into the same molotov situation you did, had to come back when I had inventory or could craft more.
And "Boozer's storyline at one point feels a bit chopped up"
that's one way to put it!
hehe. good one
Yeah the progression of missions between the first two camps is pretty disjointed. Like the game made me do these hunting and flower gathering tutorial hours into the game. This was long after I was already pretty familiar with the gameplay loop. Made me feel like I had done the story missions out of order or something but I generally just did missions that were close by to save on fuel.

Fantastic review as usual, might give the game another try later this year

just read the comments, yikes.
Yeah, I tried that and it didn't work. One because crafting items and ammo isn't always going to be around. And I haven't upgraded my bike enough yet.
And because the world does come for you. I haven't played a recent Far Cry yet, but I see comparisons to it. I had wolves chasing me, I led them back to a camp where the guards shot them, I see the comparisons to State of Decay now.
I agree with that Dualshockers quote.
I thought it was just his affiliate channel that was banned, not the main SkillUp channel? I know the other channel has posted some questionable shit, but I didn't think that the SkillUp channel had at this point.
Shame, his game reviews are excellent.
Does the game ever become fun? Oh man I wanted to give it a chance but 2 hours in and I'm already sick of it dragging on.....
It gets better imo, yes. However, "fun" can be pretty subjective.
I had a lot of fun from the first to the last minute. So yes, it's very subjective.
Never experienced this a single moment. If you feel this way that fast already, just go play something else and don't bother.
Keep playing, i was about to drop the game after the first couple of hours cause i wasnt feeling it and it didnt click. Kept playing and it ended being my GOTY so far and a 9 in my book. Everything in the game improves over time, even animations of characters (some characters in the early camps look like their faces are numb lol)
i played for ten hours hoping it would improve and then i dropped it, there are far better games to play in my backlog. I dont need to suffer 10+ hours to get to the good parts
The game take a bit of time to "work" but it damn well does later on.
It's a great game with a weird start.
The game gets in its way too many times when doing the story.
But if you're exploring and doing world activities, it can get really fun.
