Gaming

For me same with both! I found them greatly over hyped, but that is fine - plenty of other great games to play.

Of all the Sony exclusives to come on PC, Days Gone has actually been my favourite.

Might be my bubble, but I don't think disliking HZD is a particularly unpopular opinion. Personally, I really enjoyed it, but I can definitely understand why someone wouldn't. Aloy can be both boring and annoying and the story didn't really live up to its potentia. I can see why it would be difficult to get into it.

For me, the gameplay more than makes up for those shortcomings. Fighting robot dinosaurs with bow and arrow is right up my alley. Also the latest DLC for the sequel made Aloy actually interesting for the first time, so I have some hopes for story in the third game.

God of War also wasn't my cup of tea but I loved HZD. Although it took a while. The first 5-10 hours were a bit rough because the game is quite cagey about giving you the tools to actually have fun with the gameplay. After that the game just got better and better for me. Which is kind of rare for games of that size for me usually. Most of the time I''m just burnt out at the end and happy for it to be over.

God of War looked impressive but I just could not bring myself to care about any of it. To me the whole father-son dynamic and entire story just tried way too hard and felt somewhat flat as a result.

First time I tried HZD I didn't like it either. Found the 1st hour or so extremely boring.

The 2nd time however I really liked it.
