5 Reasons We Need Days Gone 2

5. Deacon Is An Underrated Lead Character

Playstation exclusives have had some fantastic lead characters over the years, such as Joel, Nathan Drake and Kratos who have all become as big as the games they star in.

Days Gone's main character Deacon St John - voiced brilliantly by Sam Witwer - never gets mentioned in the same breath, but he is a really strong lead that holds the story together.

His personality shines throughout and while his motives change through the game, you feel closely tied to him by the end of the story. His character is one we have seen plenty of times before, someone who is thrust into a leadership role that they don't want, but Deacon and a couple of his supporting friends take the limelight in what at times is a less than stellar story.

Despite the horrible scenario he finds himself in we see him acting morally when possible and he is someone you can get behind throughout the story.
