Two years following a catastrophic pandemic event, Deacon has eked out a living in this unforgiving environment.

Underneath its issues is an enjoyable, by-the-books open world outing. And despite its missteps, our original review found the flawed adventure to be rather enjoyable in spite of its shortcomings. Bloodborne, God of War, and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End all garnered universal praise, managing Metacritic ratings over 90, with Marvel’s Spider-Man and Horizon: Zero Dawn sitting barely below that prestigious threshold.ĭays Gone was facing stiff competition from its own camp, and it suffered various setbacks in the eyes of prospective buyers even before launch, furthering its uphill battle. The PlayStation 4 had seen its fair share of top-tier exclusives, flexing Sony’s first-party quality and creating a certain expectation. Further stacking the deck against it, Days Gone failed to deliver the same pedigree as countless other PlayStation exclusives leading up to its release. Technical issues and hit-and-miss mechanics turned a strong concept into a mixed bag experience in both the eyes of critics and consumers. Days Gone hit the PlayStation scene in 2019, but it didn’t land with the weighty impact Sony Bend desired.
