Days Gone

It's way too long for what it is. I appreciate giving people their money's worth, but the AAA trend to drag things out for as long as possible hurts the experience and especially hurts the story. It makes absolutely no sense to have a mandatory mission 40 hours in where you have to go fetch earbuds for a peripheral character. the last badass line is your character telling the antagonist he's worse than the zombies because they don't kill unarmed women... you sure about that? They definitely do.

sony bend tries to be "naughty rockstar dog" with a daryl dixon simulator nobody wants anymore, because TWD has become about as interesting as this tonally messed up, plothole ridden, badly directed mashup of not even subtle callbacks to superior material. and EVERYONE rides bikes? the noisiest and most vulnerable form of transportation?...sociopath that i am, the only thing worthwile was mowing down hordes. "days gone" may just refer to the time you spent playing this and will never get back.

You won't do anything fun till maybe 15 hours in, it's a slow boring slog. When the game decides to be a fun game it's NOT BAD.

There’s a lot of potential floating around in here - I’m interested to see what Bend make next - but also a lot of boring crap and godawful writing. The last third is by far the best, with you being able to deal with hordes (easily the highlight) and the story actually getting somewhat interesting, but it’s a REAL long game and so much of it beforehand is a huge slog

It's not perfect but I got the platinum trophy. So I kinda really liked this game.
