I so badly want to be able to give this game a positive review. After waiting a long time for this game to come out I was excited to finally play it. However, the amount of glitches this game has really ruins the story line. Whether you’re fighting zombies, walking through a drifter camp, or in a cut scene - there are glitches all around, some of which even make it impossible for you to complete what you’re doing without reloading the game. In addition, I also wasn’t satisfied by the games introduction to playing. Normally games will break down the game play, survival concepts, and basic mechanics in the very beginning to allow the player to easily understand the game play. Days Gone provides its players with little in game tutorials to start and then drops random survival tips throughout the game which pause your game play and forces you to read the same survival tips multiple times whether you need it or not. I appreciate their attempt of building story line and history through their radio blasts throughout the game, however they left out huge chunks of story which would have been helpful to have upfront when going thru a lot of the game. I do like the weather aspect of the game and the developers certainly made a beautiful environment. However, the frustrations the player experiences with the basic mechanics makes it hard to enjoy the game.
