As I've said before I held off on Days Gone because of the reviews and negativity surrounding it. Got around to playing it after the PS5 patch was released and man, what a fun game! The way they build up the atmosphere of the world is top notch, it felt dangerous to be out and about in the world for the first fourth of the game.
I see some guys here call it generic and I don't really see what they mean with it. It's an open world game, I can't really think of a single game that doesn't contain the elements that make a game open world but maybe they call all open world games generic? For me Days Gone is one of the last generations game that's the least generic, both story wise and world wise.
