It looks like Days Gone by Bend Studio is doing well. Despite game journos losing their mind over the chart-topping game in question, it looks like folks are disregarding major review outlets and enjoying Days Gone according to reports.

It was said a while back that Days Gone would die out because it features tropes such as zombies, an open world, and a straight white male. Contrary to that pessimistic narrative, Bend Studio’s work seems to be topping charts according to the U.K. charts, Famitsu, and PlayStation Store.

Ιστοσελίδα : www.example.gr ukie.org.uk relays that it’s another “quiet week” meaning the top six games remain unchanged with Days Gone sitting at the top spot even when a new Switch version of the controversial Mortal Kombat 11 appeared. You can see last week (left) and this week’s (right) title positions below:

• 2/2/XNUMX | XNUMX - MORTAL KOMBAT 11: PEGI 18+ — WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE

Furthermore, while “game” journos and their reviews tell a morbid story for Days Gone, it looks like Famitsu tells another story. Website gematsu.com depicts the game lambasted by GameSpot at the top of the (software sales) chart. In case you don’t know, digital sales are as followed by lifetime sales:

The tweet is followed by an official post on the blog.eu.playstation.com about Days Gone being the best selling game on the PlayStation Store as of April 2019:

• Days Gone (New)
• Grand Theft Auto V (2)
• World War Z (New)
• Mortal Kombat 11 (New)
• The Crew 2 (RE)
• Far Cry 5 (RE)

Well, it looks like not many people are taking heed to mainstream media reviews given that ημέρες Gone is doing the opposite of how the game was portrayed in the Telegraph, Digital Trends, GameSpot, Variety, and The Daily Dot reviews.
