This generation of machines (and we're including the PC in that) is decidedly a bit sad when you think about it. With the regular price increases, the absence of certain first-party studios whose new releases we're still waiting to play, remasters galore to compensate for a sometimes rather empty calendar of first party titles, there's plenty of reasons to be sad about when you consider the current state of the industry. And don't even get us started on the numerous studio shutdowns and layoffs that we keep hearing about... The irony in all this is that titles which had disappointed the press and some of the players on their initial release have a chance of making a comeback. Days Gone Remastered is one of them. While there's no doubt that Bend Studio's title is well worth a look if you're not familiar with it, the question is whether the free PS5 update offered at the console's release truly justified a new remaster, which some will no doubt describe as highly opportunistic.
Note: We added some base PS5 gameplay in the two available graphics modes so you can also see this version.
