Days Gone reviews and comments
is at its best. Now the criticism. The pacing in this game is fucking horrible. Why don’t they have hordes throughout the whole game? Why do they only show you horde locations when the game is over? Why do you have to drive to far locations just to see a cutscene where he talks to his wife’s gravestone so many times? Closely related, the upgrade system in this game is horrible as well. You don’t actually get to choose how you upgrade anything because you get money for each camp and you really only get money/unlocks for doing missions. It’s fake open world, this game is linear in an open world environment and it doesn’t work. Next, the story is all over the place. It’s kind of entertaining at times because of how weird and bad it is, but it makes no sense. If this game had better structure to it, and actually had an open world worth exploring, and had an actual upgrade system where you could choose how you want to play, and actually put the best part of the game (hordes) throughout the whole game, then this game could have been top tier. It’s disappointing because I could see the potential but they missed it. Still had a lot of fun and I’ll never forget the Boozeman.
Final Score: A-
Gameplay is extremely repetitive and samey. Kill generic bandits, «bring-me-some-shit» generic missions, rescue generic camp scouts. And without any single reason, this gameplay is linear like hell and you could not skip that primitive quests.
The whole storyline is flat. Developers ignore pacing, like tensity of scenes doesn't change at all. [SPOILER ALERT] They actually could not kill anyone of secondary characters, except the oldie. And his death is so pathetic. And when you're ready to bury Boozer, fucker surprisingly (not) arise from dead. The lesson Days Gone teaches you — this zombie world is a completely safe place, if you are a friend of Deacon.
[ONE MORE SPOILER ALERT] And talking about Deacon — don't be fooled, he is just a barking dog with no teeth. He is always barks, but actually never bites anyone, except generic villains. The final scene, where he is supposed to show himself becomes act of impotency. And his revenge to Shizzo — man, that scene is definitely not one you expects from revenging this stinky rat. My scenario rating is 2 from 10 Malkoviches.
Speaking about positive aspects — Days Gone looks good, I wish the second part of it would be more interesting and diverse.
