I think most of the reviews panned it for having a very generic and cliche-ridden plot, but I agree with you, that game is fucking great, the hordes and horde tech are awesome, and I’m sad Bend can’t make another one.

Days Gone. Biker in post Zombie Apocalypse. Fucking love it. It was killed by a few bad reviews that obviously only played for a few minutes. The reviews were so wrong it is impossible that it was an accident.
Yes. The bike you get at the very start IS ugly, doesn’t handle well, breaks easily, and runs out of gas. That’s why you upgrade it.
The map is small? Because you haven’t explored anything yet. The map is HUGE. It just isn’t fully accessible at the beginning.
There’s no fast travel? Liar. Fucking liar. There is fast travel once you get more than 1 location. Which happens about 20 to 30 minutes in.
The gun is terrible? No shit Sherlock. It’s the first gun. The wooden sword in Zelda isn’t great either. That’s why you upgrade.
No alternative weapons? Fucking asshole. What do you think all those empty slots on the weapons wheel are for? You have to go get them.
Giving a bad review because your starting gear isn’t good is absolutely underhanded willful ignorance hit piece bullshit.

Great game, probably the best zombie hordes you’ll face for sometime because the game apparently wasn’t good enough for a sequel despite selling practically identical numbers to Ghost of Tsushima (which is also great btw).

You sound very passionate but also very aggressive. It’s almost uncomfortable to read 😅 Will check it out though, thank you.

Yeah. It still makes me angry. A few hit piece reviews from people that didn’t play the game, and were just making things up, scared Sony so they canceled the sequel.
But the game is so good and the story is so fantastic that there serious talks about a miniseries. Primarily due to the success of Last of Us. If that happens a sequel is possible, maybe even probable.
