I was a developer on Days Gone (environment art team) and it's always a funny feeling when your own/team's critiques line up exactly with what players say. it's very much a "thats what I'VE been saying for years!!!!!" feeling hahaha. In spite of the flaws I'm really proud of what a relatively small studio was capable of, especially for its first console game/new IP in literal decades. I'm thankful for the love it's gotten though and the fanbase has been nothing but enthusiastic & kind 💖

I played days gone a couple years after it came out and it really surprised me. I wasn't expecting a grim post apocalyptic setting to hold a love story at its core. Kind of like how Deacons heart warms up throughout the game. He's a rough gruff protagonist that lost almost everything, but on his journey he finds hope once again. The game play was also really great and by the end of my days gone journey I got the platinum trophy for it. It's a great game that if given the chance can suck you right into its world till the days are all gone.

The only problem with it, is it's clearly a first person looter shooter, but they force the classic PlayStation 3rd person view even on PC, I found this infuriating. With that said the game and the story were great, really enjoyed it.

Dead Rising is still one of my all time favorites and has been from the start of the game. I think the time limit is genius. Different stuff happens at different times of the day, so you can't uncover everything in one playthrough anyways and you take the character stats with you to the next ones. In the end replaying it for the fourth time is still a lot of fun imo.

Prey was brilliant. From the amazing intro/prologue, all the way to the multiple endings. The way all the NPC characters are actually always existing on the station, and the staff locator helps you track them all down (with a trophy for doing so), opening up side quests/stories, the immaculate upgrade system with powers and skills, a survival horror aspect with the varied and terrifying alien creatures and unique ways to take them down.. all with the heart of an Arkane Immersive SIM at the core, there wasn't a moment in my playthrough where I was bored, there is no other game like it

All lyrics to the Queen song “Don’t Stop Me Now”.

With XCOM 2, the one thing you need to build as a priority is the Guerrilla Tactics School. There is no substitute for having more soldiers per mission, and pretty much no way to recover if you don't have a full complement of six by a certain point, particularly in War of the Chosen.

days gone still makes me cry in the end. It was such a beautiful ending and Decons character development was spot on.

I think some of the brilliance that comes from “The Last Guardian” is that the relationship between the boy and Trico gets tighter throughout the game. Yes the controls aren’t great in general, but they improve the further you get. There’s a genuine connection that organically happens.

I loved Prey from the start as soon as I realised everything wasn't real like the room and Helicopter journey I was so invested and then I encountered my first Mimic and thought it was so interesting. I had no idea until a year or two ago that it didn't sell well because I thought it should be out by now so I looked it up and I was so surprised to hear it didn't sell well because the game is genuinely phenomenal.

I thought it was pretty incredible how in-depth they made "controlling" Trico. You basically have 2 sets of commands, one positive the other negative. You're basically training Trico throughout the game. The calmer you are and the more patience that you show, Trico starts to respond quicker to your progress and requests. You're basically training a giant flying dog. Like Agro in Shadow Of The Colossus, the more aggressive you were with him, the harder he was to handle. Also, once it's revealed what is actually in those barrels that you feed him, goddamn does that game get dark quick.

I was surprised to see Days Gone on this list because I loved it from the start, I didn't realize people had trouble getting into it. I actually also really liked Deacon, it was kind of refreshing to me to play a zombie apocalypse type game where the protagonist just seems bitter at everyone and everything and almost seems like he's ready to just die at any point. I also remember taking out my first horde when I found them in the white king mine and took them out with some pipe bombs and molotovs, it felt awesome 😆

Sony really needs to greenlight Days Gone 2. I recently played the first game and it was an incredible experience. It has a slow start and doesn't chase after the player like some other games do. Its prologue ends after you meet Obrian and arrive at Lost-Lake, and then the real excitement begins. Unlike other games that can become tedious after a while, the more you play Days Gone, the more enjoyable it becomes. What sets this game apart is how accurately it portrays a motorcycle's behavior. I own a 2016 BMW scrambler, and I can attest that the bike in the game feels exactly like the real thing, especially off-road. The game perfectly conveys the sense of gravity, and the character's gear shifts and clutch work feel natural. The fuel economy system is also fascinating - on descents, you have to ease up on the gas to reduce consumption. In my opinion, Days Gone features the best off-road motorcycle physics in any video game. I actually platinumed the game, but sometimes I still play it just to ride the bike with some great background guitar music, beautiful landscapes, and hordes of enemies. The game was a commercial success, and players loved it. Unfortunately, the cancellation of the sequel due to some negative reviews felt like a tragedy to me. Days Gone is more than just a game - it's a beloved experience. If you were like me and didn't buy the game because of some silly reviews, then you better go run buy it

I actually enjoyed each and every second of my days gone walk through and the raining atmosphere at the start of the game when deek lost his first bike was amazing.

To me days gone is a masterpiece from start to finish, the first opening scene gave me chills, i was amazed by the visuals and the presentation... Amazing game and really really criminally underrated for no reason...And i love deek...he went through alot physically and mentally that is why hes always muttering and angry...but hes a fantastic character once you stick with him a little imo and portrayed by a fantasic actor...the gameplay, the open world, the soundtrack, visuals, even the story is amazing and yes the story does get better the further you get but that is what i like about days gone...it hits deep...and its one of my personal favorites... just a shame the game didnt get the love it deserved...really wanted there to be a sequel...the devs really put love and effort into this game.

The moment when a horde noticed my presence, either intentionally or more likely unintentionally, got my heart racing every single time 😅

I was hooked on Days Gone from the start. Then I downloaded some mods to make Hordes actual HORDES, none with less than 500 freaks, and god almighty it cranked the game up to 10.

That with dragon's Dogma is actually pretty true and I think about maybe giving it another shot. I really felt overwhelmed with this complex pawn mechanic and the constant respawns of hordes of enemies (mainly bandits) that were insanely dangerous because the pawns are a pain in the ass to keep in check. Also one of the escort missions drove me crazy.

Went back to it a few months ago and I absolutely loved it. Glad I gave it a second chance because it is such an amazing game and I would’ve totally missed out on something great if I never went back to it.

Same. First horde I encountered I think it was in a huge pit where all the dead bodies where being thrown and there's body bags and you can see huge containers that were supposed to be carrying all the dead. I was just exploring and when I turned around I didn't knew what to do and my first reaction was to shoot. Big mistake. Those f*ckers are fast af, and even without shooting they get easily startled by being near.

Probably the most agreeable gameranx video for me. Have literally played and quit within the first to third hour of number: 10,9,7,6,4,2 while never playing 8,5, and 3. The only one I have completed and loved was number 1.... but I did return 1 before giving it a second shot and loving it

Prey is one of the best games I have ever played. Amazing story and so immersive.

I had zero expectations going into Days Gone. There are only couple of skills, gadgets and weapons to unlock later in the game, but each has their purpose in certain situations and most of them work really well in synergies. Design of this game in all aspects is top notch. So many possibilities, beautiful world, the composition, atmosphere. The story was amazing too, writing and the arch of the characters was way above the average level of quality and really resonated with me in many key moments. I will remember this game for a very long time. One of the best games I've played in last few years with another mentioned Prey.

Days gone definitely a game you got to try. Enjoyed it so much as it was my first platinum trophy game.

The souls games did the exact opposite for me. I absolutely loved the challenge and figured out fairly quickly that I was going to die and to just not keep a lot of souls on me lol. I got a lot of my friends into it and helped them by pretty much saying "run away" like bro I mean retreat alllll the way back to a rest point. Learn some patience, regroup, and don't lose those souls. It's not a hack n slash obviously so adapt or die.

Im surprised there are people who actually hated The Last Guardian. If you've played Team Ico's last game Shadow of the Colossus, (also a masterpiece in my eyes) you'll know that they have a certain way the do things when it comes to controlling your character and interacting with the world. The world just kinda does what it wants some times just like he described in the video, so if that's not for your I guess I can kinda understand, but if you can stick through it you will have one of the best experiences in gaming imho.

Graham- the enjoyment comes from learning from your mistakes and overcoming fights that are heavily in the opponents favor. Elden Ring is the easiest of them all bc you can just go wherever and level up then come back. However in other Souls games you needed to figure out your opponent bc farming for levels took a long long time w no open world. Meaning you could only go back to weaker areas to farm. Lower xp. The fun comes from beating enemies that are far scarier than the player. A real challenge.

Elden Ring was also my first Fromsoft game. It's also going to be my last. I remember the exact moment I gave up and decided to delete it. I was near the end, and I'd been through a VERY long area where it was confusing and hard to figure out where the hell you're supposed to go. I'd found a place in a building I couldn't reach, so I checked the roof, and there was a hole right above that part. I thought, IDK, it looks like a ways down but I can't imagine how else you're supposed to reach it than to come from the roof. So I took the plunge. Annnnd it killed me. HAHA, very fucking funny, fromsuck. All it taught me is that the idiots who say "HaRd BuT fAiR" are fanboys with the IQ of a houseplant because there's a ton of bullshit mechanics in these games. (Also, in before said idiot fanboys reply "GiT gUd". How about Fromsuck gits gud and 1) makes a port that doesn't suck, 2) makes difficulty settings so new players aren't put off and veterans aren't bored because it's too easy?)

Days Gone is good from begining to end! Idk why the hate on that game.

I have Prey and have tried it a little bit, its cool but I wasnt able to get into it at the time since I was playing too many other games at the time. I do want to revisit it!

For those playing dogma for the first time, if you kick the oxen he will go faster at the cost of some health. Have a healer in your party and stand next to the ox. When your member casts a heal on you, the ox will walk threw it. Makes a long quest manageable. ♥ Good luck Arisen!

I feel like The Last Guardian was so easy for me to understand how it played that I was confused when people were having a hard time. It’s literally a pet simulator and that’s what makes the AI so sophisticated, the more you care and reinforce good behavior (with like feeding and such) in Trico the easier it is to get him to do what you want him to do, at first he’s very wary of you as any wild animal would be but grows to trust you along the way. I already know I’m in the “that games a masterpiece” camp anyway so 😅

I loved basically everything about Days Gone right off the bat, it is such a solid game. Great combat, story, characters, everything.

Hell, I was hooked by Kings Field (can't remember which one it was tough) years ago when I first tried it on Playstation. I then jumped on the original Dark Souls as soon as it released, and to me, it was the best game I had ever played.

I couldn't understand why people didn't like Days Gone, I fell in love with it the second I got the hang of motorbike controls. It felt like it's more than a means of transport, similar to horses in RDR2.

And then I fell all of 8 feet and died during the tutorial, and I didn't turn it on again for 3 years. If it's not my favorite game now, it's top 3 at worst.

The excitement of Days Gone were high for me. Played it for about an hour and didn’t play it again for months. I decided to give it another try and absolutely loved it, especially the hordes.

I would go so far as to say the horde mechanics in days gone are the best of any zombie game of that generation. They hit a perfect balance where 1 freak is no big deal at 10 you need need to be careful 15+ requires preparation, a plan, and the ability to throw the plan out the window and adapt when it enevitably goes to shit. The comtrast between having to hunker down in cover and pick your shots when you deal with human enemies and having to think fast and comstantly spray rounds at freak hordes is super well done. I really like that every activity you complete gives a little cutscene that helps wrap up part of the story. I really wish people had given that game a chance because I think a sequel building on what they made and paced properly could be awesome.

I've played Days Gone for the first time this year and I instantly got into it. It can't see why people hated this game at launch. The only downside for me was the replayability. I liked the music, the narration, the story even when it was easy to guess. It was a great stew of many other games or ripoff if you prefer, but they did it well to use the best of all ripped stuffs. This game felt like a good Tv series and i enjoyed it alot.

The Wonderful 101 and Rain World going into the must play list. If you are a fan of the Bioshock series then Prey 2017 will likely scratch that itch. It takes until you get to the helicopter of the beginning of the game to get really interesting.

I 100% agree with you on Days Gone. As soon as you dive into it more and more it has one of the most compelling stories with so much suspense in it, I loved it!
