Today I finished Days Gone, for me it really lived up to the hype and I wasn't disappointed, the story is great, combat is repetitive yet I can't get enough of it and riding around on my custom motorbike felts, great however there are some things that made me go from 5 stars to 4.
(Playing on a normal 500GB PS4) There are a lot of frame drops that really ruin some moments and sometimes led to me dying, sometimes the textures went missing and this leaded to having a really realistic looking Decon on a almost playdoh body and world (restarting the game fixed this but it was a annoying) sometimes dialogue would repeat itself, this is however funny at the start but gets really annoying (again restarting the game fixed this) though one thing that really upset me about Days Gone was the lack of “Your choice matters” or whatever, in the E3 demo and other videos by Bend Studios on Youtube showed decision making to be a important key aspect to the game, however this is taken out which is upsetting. Lastly load times break apart the game, this may be due to my hardware but I doubt a PS4 pro would fair any better. All up, this game has a amazing story and I really felt for the characters.
