Days Gone is a game that knows the story it wants to tell and expects the player to give it the time it deserves. I started Days Gone and fell out roughly 15-20 hours in, due to all the (never ending) games that were coming out. Eventually, I came back to it after a few months off and was blown away. The story is something like Red Dead II in my opinion, it's a slow burn that builds up into something truly special. This is not another FarCry or Assassins creed open world where you collect towers to open up your map, nor is it a Last of Us clone like it would you lead you believe. Maybe it's the biker in me talking and giving this a score, but this game spoke to me and will stay on my top 10 favorite games of all time. It tells a story that is actually real, with real people trying to survive in a world filled with nothing but horror. If you have a PS4 and you like single player experiences then you owe it to yourself to play this game. If nothing else, look at Sony's track record on the PS4 and know that a lot of love and time went into this game just like the rest of the AAA titles they have been putting out. Give Days Gone the time it deserves, and in return you will be given a game that is truly worth your time. I may have only given this game a 9 (only cause of some technical flaws you will encounter on the way for sure) but it is for sure worth your hard earned money and time. Keep in mind that Bend is not the biggest studio and this is also their first AAA console product, truly impressive Bend. I hope we one day get a sequel to this amazing game.
