Infobox and lede
edit- "video game
that wasdeveloped by" - Delink "Oregon" per MOS:OVERLINK
- A pet peeve of mine inspired by COVID talk: "global pandemic" is redundant. The "pan" in pandemic means that it's global
Gameplay
edit- "Days Gone, an action-adventure survival horror game, is set in a post-apocalyptic open world and is played from a third-person perspective." → "Days Gone is a third-person action-adventure survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic open world."
- Remove "(Sam Witer)" here, as this is about the gameplay and thus the voice actor has less of a role
- "global pandemic
thatkilled almost all of humanity" - "nd search for food" → "and search for food"
- "included newts" → "include newts"
- Delink "open world" in the third paragraph, already linked above
- Remove hyphen in "fast-travel"
- "survival sision" → "survival vision"
- "and to enhance his survival skills"
Plot
edit- The 28 Days Later rule – if they're not referred to as zombies in-universe, they should be "zombie-like creatures"
- "Sarah is believed dead" → "Sarah is assumed dead" to reduce repetition of "believed"
- "Freaker" is only capitalized in "Freaker virus", which is referred to above as the "hooligan virus"
- Comma after "finish the cure at her new lab"
Development
edit- Comma after "since the 1990s"
- No comma after "during which"
Design
edit- "open world" and "open-world" are used interchangeably throughout this section
- "a lot of filler content" → "a good deal of filler content"
- "switch between stories" → "switch between narratives"
Music
edit- "Pacific-Northwest" → "Pacific Northwest"
- "for the
game'ssetting" - "video-game medium" → "video game medium"
Release
edit- "officially announced" → "unveiled"
- "planned to be released in 2018" → "planned for a 2018 release"
- "It was followed by" → "This was followed by"
Reception
editCritical reception
edit- "Days Gone for the PlayStation 4 received "mixed or average" reviews, and "generally favorable reviews" for the PC version, according to review aggregator Metacritic." → "Days Gone was met with mixed to positive reviews from video game critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the PlayStation 4 version has an average score of 71, while the PC version has an average score of 76."
- space missing in "the wayDays Gone"
- "Hordes" is capitalized in "to clear these Hordes" but isn't capitalized anywhere else
- "disliked the shooting mechanics for being clunky," → "disliked the clunkiness of the shooting mechanics"
Sales
edit- "making Days Gone the 7th" → "making it the 7th"
Awards
edit- Good
Canceled sequel
edit- Space needed in "release,and"
References
edit- Inconsistent italicization/use of work vs. publisher parameter
- PlayStation Blog should not be italicized (16, 29)
- Game Informer should be (53)
- GameSpot should be (54)
- GamesRadar+ should be (55)
- IGN should be (56)
- [75] (Andy Robinson) is missing a work or publisher
