Honestly, Days Gone was a bad game and I am convinced that anyone who claims it isn't never made it past the first third of the game because it absolutely NOSEDIVES in quality from there. It was mid before that (especially the very basic and dated gameplay/open world design), but enjoyable enough as a rather straightforward zombie game (as long as you ignored Deacon getting mad at Copeland for being right about everything), however, after the scar gang gets killed by the dam, it just plummets into the dirt. Obviously TLOU2 shouldn't have been made, but neither should Days Gone 2, so at least they accidentally managed to do something right.
