I absolutely love this game and I don't understand why it gets so much hate. The world and story are interesting, the characters are varied, the voice acting is excellent. The issues this game runs into are common to nearly all open-world games, which I don't feel should be counted against Days Gone specifically. I had a blast playing through this on my PlayStation, and I'm loving it on the PC. I highly recommend this game and suggest you approach it with an open mind and ignore the naysayers. It's definitely worth it!

The original "Adventure" for Atari 2600 is legitimately one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. When I heard that Atari was giving us this follow-up after all these years, I was excited. How many times have I imagined what a modern Adventure could look like? Could play like?

While I might not have gone the Metroidvania route (which Atari did with its Yars franchise recently), this game is pretty interesting. I enjoy the pixel art style and the overall sound design. The challenge is there but it feels fair. While I'm writing this review before I finish the game, I can say that I am very interested in seeing how this all plays out.
