DIE, CLANKERS!

For the first time in a long time I am actually sad that a game has ended. Days Gone has left me wishing there was more and that the story would go on forever. Deacon St. John is a lovable character which the player will share many highs and lows with over the course of this 60+ hour journey. All of the characters in the game feel believable and are easy to connect with on an emotional level far better than anything even in cinematography. It's a relief that Bend Studio chose to give this game a happy ending with closure, rather than the cliche and overused trope of a bittersweet ending that far too many game developers go with these days. Even though Sony has axed any chance of a sequel as of 2019, one can only hope that someday Bend Studio is given the green light to produce a follow-up to this story of resilience and love that I'll always remember.
