Thank you Sony but we want more of your games on Steam! (Ghost of Tsushima, The last of Us, God of War) - UPDATE: We got most all of them!! Thank you, Keep them coming SONY! , Bloodborne and Gran Turismo next?)

The WORLD is breathtaking and very ambient. The world its self will suck you in with how lonely the open road is. You get that feeling of loneliness and desperation when out there. The lighting is dynamic, the soundtrack definitely give you a chilling isolated vibe when on your bike, being on foot will give you absolute silence at times which makes you want to be cautious when out there. Also the sound of folly sound great to the amount sound effects to make the game a bit more real.

EXCELLENT game with engaging story that inspires taking on more missions to unfold the narrative DRAMA, especially the tragic romance.

For those who need comparison, Days Gone does offer open world ACTION and challenges that allow the main character to grow and learn through skills and item acquisitions much like your Far Cry`s and the like. These tools are essential to pace a story and impart a level design that fosters a world of discovery and adventure. But, this is a dynamic world that changes by night, by approach, and by the worldā€™s inhabitants. There is so much going on inside this world, just as a constant caution when exploring or carrying out formal missions. For example, in experiencing a common encampment takedown, I started off stealthy, but part way through got the attention of a horde of freakers and my hasty and finesse free escape straight through the encampment resulted in the horde clearing out the enemy. Your plan and approach can change by the second and the ongoing need to refuel your bike or gather crafting resources makes you feel vulnerable in the dangerous world.

However, itā€™s the STORY and the complex relationships that make this dangerous world worth the risk for Deacon to brave. The tragic LOVE story that see his purpose shift from hope to despair connects with a player who understands the meaning of what it is to have found that special person in your life...the one you will never let go of, either in life or memory. These characters are likely not the kind you identify with generally. Bend Studio didnā€™t make a hero that the player wants to be or makes the kind of decisions we might make. Deacon is true to his character and frustrations about wanting him to open up to his friends or react differently in a way that we might react, is a refreshing change. It supports the main idea that trust is a valuable commodity in this world and isnā€™t given easily. Trust is currency in Days Gone and Deaconā€™s wary attitude and resistance to get close to other characters is more than believable, it is appropriate. This makes each softening of Deaconā€™s guard with some characters so much more meaningful when those moments occur. These are the moments a player will root for and incentify the story that may evolve from those relationships. And yet, this applies to the stories of the main NPC characters as well. The high quality dialogue, music, and atmosphere continually set a mood that perfectly matches the moment to moment experience with convincing influence.

I played this on PS4 so I am glad and proud to finally play it on PC! (4K, HDR, High refresh rate)


P.S. SONY I want Gran Turismo on PC!

Thank you for your review and SONY 1st party games in the majority are outstanding. However, I started Days Gone and and after a couple hours I uninstalled it. After doing stealth for 30 minutes I bit the bullet so to speak and the game sent me back to a checkpoint 30 minutes ago. If there is some way around this besides not getting killed :) let me know.

No credibility? I played the game... You are just mad you are getting called out. This happens when reviewers like your self promote your own agenda. It's obvious you are biased to review this positively, you are begging sony to release all their other ports, you just fail to review the game "days gone" for what it is.

Just some loser that spends 2k hours in truck simulator going to tell you what a masterpiece this cookie cutter story is. I bet you dip your steak in ketchup too.

Disgusting, touch some grass, develop some class
