I’m getting toDays Gone Remastereda little late.

The parts of Days Gone that were always good still shine.

Likewise, the bits I don’t like are still here.

And is that really the point of this remaster, to win over new fans?

Was there a single player who couldn’t crack Days Gone solely because of the graphics?

No, to both of those questions.

A better question is whether that’s really necessary?

All of that considered, my concerns around this forever pretty strategy are less value-based and more existential.
