![]() The story finally takes off in a meaningful way when you leave Lost Lake and journey south to the Diamond Lake and Wizard Island encampments. This adds some much-needed complexity and reason to the whole thing. Mike is a good guy stuck in a bad situation-a true diplomat who has to make the tough calls but ultimately wants everyone to get along. It gets better when you get to Iron Mike’s camp, even if only marginally, with more in-depth conversations and interactions happening between Mike and Deacon. But even then it’s filled with fluff-there are so few meaningful moments in between the repetitive quests, it honestly gets hard to keep playing at some points. At that point, you have something to care about. The first few hours of the game lack meaning-it’s not until you learn that Sarah may be alive that the real quest starts. You start the game by running errands for these (mostly unlikable) camp leaders with no real goals outside of just that. In return, he builds trust with these camps and gets “camp credits” (the in-game currency) to buy things.

Sure, Deek (and by some extension, his best friend Boozer) is a relatable, (mostly) likable character, and his quest is easily the most meaningful part of the game. It isn’t just these characters that make up the stories, though-it’s the other characters they meet along the way, how they interact with them, and the relationships built throughout the journey of the game. In God of War (2018), Kratos showed a side we’ve never seen before and is such an incredibly dynamic, multi-faceted character who makes you feel. In Horizon: Zero Dawn, I cared about Aloy’s quest-I wanted her to find the answers she was so desperately seeking. ![]() ![]() A Great Story Can Make a Great Game…Ī great game makes players care genuinely about the characters and what they’re going through-I love Joel and Ellie ( The Last of Us) on what feels like a personal level. The intensity of the launch trailer made me think of a specific moment from my favorite game of all time-the hotel basement from The Last of Us-so I had high hopes that it would live up to that. I watched the trailers and gameplay teasers as they were released, but avoided reviews so I could go in without preconceived ideas about what the game is, isn’t, should, or shouldn’t be. Despite the fact that Mortal Kombat 11 was launched on 4 platforms and Days Gone only on one, the fighting title couldn’t win the sales competition within the first few weeks and Days Gone stood at top of UK Sales chart at launch.īend Studios is currently working on post-launch contents for Days Gone, but a sequel for the game in the future is probable regarding the fans’ great reception of the game.I went into the game as blindly as I could.
