During a recent Reddit Ama, Days Gone voice actor Sam Witwer (who portrayed Deacon St. John) blamed some of the game’s negative reviews on journalists that didn’t finish the game.
“You’re asking me about the review world. That’s not quiiiite the audience,” Witwer says. “I read a review today from a website/publication that will remain nameless. In it, the horde mechanic, the show-stopping center piece of the game, it wasn’t mentioned once. Not Once. There were other tells, but it was pretty clear that this reviewer played the game for several hours and then wrote his review. He did not complete it.”
Witwer goes on to say that the “slow burn” nature of Days Gone means that it’s the type of game that may not lend itself to game reviews and what he presumes to be the nature of the video game review industry.
