Reviews are important - they play a huge role in influencing whether or not people will give a game a go, and if so, what expectations they’ll have of it going in.
With that said, even if something gets 10s across the board from critics, that doesn’t mean that every gamer alive is going to love it. Just takeElden Ring- it deservedly earned countless perfect scores (including from us), but if someone who hates Soulsborne games with a burning passion were to play it, they probably wouldn’t feel quite so positive about it. Equally, the same can be said of the opposite - I know I’ve personally played numerous games which were given mediocre review scores at launch, only to end up having way more fun with it than I expected.
Take a look at the trailer forDays Gonebelow.
Over on Reddit, gamers have been discussing this exact concept after user StarryChocoboasked: “What’s a game that got mediocre scores and reviews, but you bought it anyway and ended up loving it?”

“Days Gonewas fantasticand didn’t deserve the hate it received. Story and characters were great,” Marko3563wrote. “Days Gone. I still consider this game a true classic,” DizzyHart15said. “Turned out to be one of my favourite games of all time,” kirsclinadded.
Despite its popularity, the game’s director, Jeff Ross, says that it’s very unlikely that aDays Gonesequel is ever going to happen. Back in May, he broke fans’ hearts when he revealed thatDays Gone 2could have been out and in our hands as of Aprilthis year if the plans for it had gone ahead. That hurts.
