* StrawmanHasAPoint: Most of the camp leaders have their faults when it comes to running their respective factions, but they all have understandable justifications:
** Copeland is an unabashed conspiracy theorist and doomsday prepper who constantly airs heavily anti-government propaganda throughout the entire valley, but it's his refusal to be reliant on government assistance and him making full use of his Second Amendment rights to own firearms that contributed to him and his followers surviving the Freaker apocalypse.
** Tucker is essentially no better than a slaveholder by running her settlement as a labor camp, where her followers are forced to work against their will. However, Tucker makes the point that resources are scarce and everybody has to chip in to make sure the whole camp doesn't starve. They simply do not have the luxury to let anybody freeload.
** Iron Mike's idealism about appealing to humanity's good side makes him seem naive and weak, especially in the face of the [[ForTheEvulz obviously evil]] Rippers. However, Iron Mike has already seen other survivor groups wipe each other out over their stubborn inability to coexist or make peace, and doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.
** The Colonel is incredibly strict and rigid, commanding his followers like an army rather than a survivor group. However, he's the only faction leader who actually has long term goals in mind, like finding a way to permanently end the threat of the Freakers and preserving what's left of human civilization for future generations.

* CriticalDissonance: While mainstream critics have agreed the game is SoOkayItsAverage, most of the general playerbase have a much more positive opinion, with the Metacritic user score being an 8/10. The main theory is that ''Days Gone'' is thematically similar to ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' and mechanically similar to ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'', with its main weakness being its narrative isn't quite as strong as the other two games, and regular players were more willing to forgive that weakness than the critics were.
