Days Gone hands-on videos — Surviving in a brutal world

Days Gone has been a long time coming, and it’s a long game. I’ve finally finished it and wanted to share some videos of what it was like to play through this game. I’ve also reviewed it in a separate story.

Sony’s Bend Studio made the game over seven years, and it finally debuted on April 26. The title got panned for being buggy, but I liked it enough to play through the entire campaign. I’ve avoided a lot of spoilers in these videos, but the final video takes place very late in the game. Of course, Bend Studio spoiled that scene for us as it was the first thing that showed to tease the game in 2016. Now you can see what it’s like to finally play it.
