I played days gone a couple years after it came out and it really surprised me. I wasn't expecting a grim post apocalyptic setting to hold a love story at its core. Kind of like how Deacons heart warms up throughout the game. He's a rough gruff protagonist that lost almost everything, but on his journey he finds hope once again. The game play was also really great and by the end of my days gone journey I got the platinum trophy for it. It's a great game that if given the chance can suck you right into its world till the days are all gone.

I can't really put my finger on the exact reason, but Days Gone is one of my favorite games of all time. It is wildly underrated. I was so invested in the story. I loved fighting the hordes and just driving around on the bike. Truly an underrated gem.

I was a Days Gone lover from the get-go. Deek’s rough personality set him apart from most over-the-top flamboyant heroes and the hunt for his wife always kept me involved. I loved the way the menu and skill tree was laid out and the “freakers” nomenclature again set it apart from other recent zombie games. Add in the fact that your riding a motorcycle in the open world, I dunno why it’s gotten such crap. I’m in the camp of needing that sequel.

I think Kingdom Come: Deliverance could be an honorable mention. The first few hours are incredibly infuriating, but once I trained and got better with weapons, it turned into a game that I got completely sucked into. My only gripe beyond that was hitting a loading screen literally every time you need to use the map.

After the initial bike chase in Days Gone I thoroughly enjoyed that game. The first time I took down a horde was exhilarating

[frederickbraam]

Days Gone grabbed me from the beginning. I loved the environment, I loved the characters, I loved the gameplay, I loved riding the motorcycle. The only thing I didn't like about Days Gone was knowing there wasn't going to be a sequel while I was playing one of my favorite games of all time.

I’m surprised to find out people didn’t like Days Gone in the early days. I loved that game right from the beginning and I thought it had a great story, I replayed the game so many times that it became super easy even on the hardest NG+ setting and I got to the point of attempting to play through the entire game with just the first pistol or shotgun the game gives you just to create a challenge. But before I wore it out it was one of my favorite games I’ve played!

[TS-lwnv]

I’ll never understand the hate days gone received. I loved the character development, the acting, the world building, score, and gameplay. I like how the gameplay evolves overtime.

[FritzVonR]

Dead Rising is still one of my all time favorites and has been from the start of the game. I think the time limit is genius. Different stuff happens at different times of the day, so you can't uncover everything in one playthrough anyways and you take the character stats with you to the next ones. In the end replaying it for the fourth time is still a lot of fun imo.

[mkozby]

Days gone is one of my favorite games honestly. Its one of the few games i keep going back to when im burnt out on new games. The story is great, the unique take on the virus is cool, the world is huge, the boss fights (hordes) are awesome, and the atmosphere/world feels legit, the survival difficulties are challenging but fair, and the challenge mode is actually pretty fun and rewarding. Only real complaint ive had is weapon and upgrade balancing. Would have been cool if they did something with the teir system so old weapons could be made viable.

Always blows my mind the amount of different idea lists you guys can come up with!

Days Gone is a masterpiece. Quite simply one of the best games I've experienced and I'm in my 50's so I played Half Life, Deus Ex etc when they were new and groundbreaking. If anybody started this game and didn't finish it, I urge you to revisit it. If ever a game deserved a sequel it's this.

“Deacon St. John” in “Days Gone” is a homage to John Deacon, the bassist of Queen. The developers must be big fans of Queen because they even named trophies in the game “Don’t stop me now”, “I’m out of control”, “There’s no stopping me”, and “Mr. Fahrenheit”. All lyrics to the Queen song “Don’t Stop Me Now”.

[JamesSmith-swnk]

I REALLY liked Days Gone. A great story plus the first time you encounter a hoard it's an "OMG!" video game moment. Hopefully a sequel is somehow made.

[pablopablo]

I loved Prey from the start as soon as I realised everything wasn't real like the room and Helicopter journey I was so invested and then I encountered my first Mimic and thought it was so interesting. I had no idea until a year or two ago that it didn't sell well because I thought it should be out by now so I looked it up and I was so surprised to hear it didn't sell well because the game is genuinely phenomenal.

[brett]

Sekiro was, to this day, the most satisfying gaming experience I’ve had start to finish because it quite literally made me get good at the game to complete it. Sure it was brutally unforgiving at times, but it was also entirely fair. Love it.

[nerdoutreachprogram]

I was hooked on Days Gone from the start. Then I downloaded some mods to make Hordes actual HORDES, none with less than 500 freaks, and god almighty it cranked the game up to 10. There’s one good mod to make nights really dark, that combined with increased horde size just makes the game incredible.

[epicblade]

days gone is such an underrated masterpiece. The characters were phenomenal and the horde fights were a pretty good idea. The movement on the bike was near flawless and the suspense aspect was amazing. i wish they didn't cancel a part 2.

[alexanderasher]

I think some of the brilliance that comes from “The Last Guardian” is that the relationship between the boy and Trico gets tighter throughout the game. Yes the controls aren’t great in general, but they improve the further you get. There’s a genuine connection that organically happens.

[amidoesarts]

I'm absolutely blown away on how beautiful and in depth details are in Days gone, filling fuel in a game?! survival open world? zombies? its just great
