So, the other day I couldn't decide between Days Gone and Ghost of Tsushima. And I ended up buying both. I wanted a bit of zombie survival cause I missed Joel and Ellie. Anyway, I had kept my expectations restricted because yk, the usual criticism regarding it being a 'flop'.
And holy HELL, I didn't expect THIS. Like the game is extremely grounded, story felt very real. Mechanics were gritty as hell. Graphics hold up EXTREMELY well. Yes it's a slow burn. Yes, it's tense. But if everyone can hype RDR2 (I love it too) why not Days Gone as well?
Driving the bike felt absolutely realistic, and those 'gamers' who bullshit it for not having enough fuel at the start, homies, I ran out of fuel only TWICE, throughout the entire game, which I took forty hours to finish.
And lastly, oh boy, the hordes. Insane. The first time, when I went out hunting for some deer skin, it started with a few zombies, and a whole ass army of them was on my ass. It was night. I was running along with the deers. I had low fuel so couldn't accelerate much. Just imagine the tension. I don't think any other game made me as immersed in the world as this boy did.
But, in any case, Days Gone is probably the best game, (along with rdr2) that ive ever played on my ps4.
And yeah, I ended up just not liking Ghost of Tsushima at all and stopped playing after a few hours. The characters lowk talk like robots and its the same old bluff about honor. Maybe I'll give it a try some time later again.
