Days Gone 2 has so much wasted potential, fans agree

Days Gone fanshave collectively agreed there’s nothing quite as heartbreaking as wasted potential.

Rumours that a sequel to the 2019 game is in the works have been rife for some time now, with ateaser of a new game earlier this yeargiving fans unfair hope. Sadly, Bend Studio wasn’t hinting atDays Gone 2, with the likelihood of that ever happening almost non-existent.

It isn’t thatDays Gonewas a bad game, it just wasn’t an amazing game either. As far as video games go, it was middling; it had a lot of good features, but couldn’t ever rivalThe Last of UsIIor other open world titles.

“It’s an average game but still deserves a sequel,” one Redditorsaid. “It had a lot of good elements and is probably the best zombie game in quite a few years. Actually doing another play through right now as we speak.”

While typical_gamer1 took a different approach and laid out spoilers for all to see in a bid to explain their feelings, “Given the fact that these creatures are still a threat, and that guy turned out to be one of them as a major plot twist ending, yeah, there’s enough stuff to work with to create a sequel.”

Considering the age ofDays Gone, we feel like those kinds of spoilers aren’t really spoiling anything. But if you’re shocked to learn the truth we can only apologise… right before we get on with our day.

Putting our amazing jokes aside for a moment, let’s talk about the fact that the game still costs £39.99 on Steam. If it was such a bad game, its price would have plummeted quickly, yet it’s stood the test of time. So much so that the price is mocking the real potential squanded here.

It’s nice to think that at some point in the distant future, probably when most of us have retired, someone will remember thatDays Gone 2deserved to happen and will change the course of history.
