Greetings from Lithuania.
I simply loved "Days Gone" (2019). While its not on a same league as "God of War" and some few other PS4 late masterpieces, this is a one halluva great game. I highly enjoyed story of "Days Gone" - probably strongest aspect of this game. Narative of it was great, as well as acting, script and as I said - story. The open world welt harsh and brutal and the one "as comes for you" - you never feel entirely safe in this open world. There is great exploration in this games, tons of achievements and hordes. Oh yes, hordes.. When there is literally a hundred "friecks" at the same time coming to get you and you are running with your depleting stamina with a moon on your backdrop and a gas canister in your hand knowing that your bike is empty - this is where "Days Gone" kicks it in its full! What an experience. And the main hero is not a hero at all in here - more like an antihero - like it or not this is what it is, and I loved it (without any spoilers);
Overall, do not listen to critics who said this game is not good at all. Yes it is not perfect, far from it - it crashed like 3 or 4 times for me when I had literally to restart my PS4 (first time in 5 years due to game issues). The game itself might feel repetitive as well. But if you like open world zombie games with a great story, superb combat mechanics (better and very borrowed from The Last of Us), good exploration and superb and not traditional characters (but very good ones eventually) - look no further - Days Gone is a very good game, very long one and a highly enjoyable one. Definitely one of the better games in 2019 for me personally.
