    Someone from Sony, please read this.

    I understand that at the end of the day, it's just a company that wants to make money, but it's absolute fact that Days Gone 2 would make a lot of money. Easily, easily more than Horizon 2. There's millions of fans out there who want this game and millions of potential new fans, who would be interested, if you actually made this game. Not making    Someone from Sony, please read this.

There's millions of fans out there who want this game and millions of potential new fans, who would be interested, if
    you actually made this game. Not making Days Gone 2 would be biggest mistake in entertainment history ever. Nothing else is even comparable.

    Sony is overall amazing company and i have huge respect for it, especially in recent years when you decided to bring your games to PC and by the way, you are doing it better than lots of other companies. You don't use Denuvo, your games always work and if they have bugs or technical problems, you make sure to fix them.

    But also, please understand that Horizon 2 was very mid game, i mean, is anyone even playing it anymore? Does anyone even care? Nobody is even talking about that game anymore. Games should be made, so people keep playing them, not for them to collect dust on shelves, just for some fanboys to say that they have the sequel too, even tho they never play it. God of War 2 was better, but let's face it, also mid. At the end of the day, it was pretty much same thing all over again as the first game. I'm not hating, but it wasn't anything phenomenal. So i'm asking seriously, what's next?

    Your only guaranteed hit is right now Spider-Man 2. This one will sell easy 20 million+. But other than that, you have nothing. I mean, you just keep making Horizon and God of War sequels endlessly? Bruh. Thanks to Days Gone PC release, there are so many new fans who want sequel to that game. This game got so much deserved respect after the PC release.

    So why Days Gone? you might ask. What is so special about this game? Well let me tell you.
    Days Gone has likable main character, if you don't like him, that's your personal issue and has nothing to do with him. Graphically, days gone is phenomenal, i could drive around the map for hours and enjoy these fantastic weather effects. ONLY game that does it equally good, is Red Dead Redemption 2.
    Now, bike mechanics and upgrading. I know some people hated it (also personal issue btw), but i love that system. Planning out the routes, before you start driving, making sure you have enough gas in your bike. Taking gas from actual gas stations (first game to ever do that) is amazing. This is exactly what survival game needs. I'm not saying every game needs stuff like that, i'm fine that i can drive endlessly in GTA, but in Days Gone, it's cool. Story, while i agree it keeps going for too long, is actually solid. It's not bad. All the mistakes could be fixed in sequel anyway. Map is very well designed, all the houses and buildings that you can explore, broken bridges, that small city area and so on. Everything has this perfect post-apocalyptic feeling. Hordes is amazing addition to this game and there's so much you could do with that in the sequel. Anyone who says that Days Gone is just another generic zombie game, has no idea what he/she is talking about. It's the BEST open-world zombie game ever made. Of course there could be argument, that Days Gone simply isn't the most mainstream game ever made, but in my opinion it's popular enough. Not everything needs to be Spider-Man. Even Alan Wake (huge fan btw) isn't as popular as Days Gone and even that game is getting a sequel.

    What could/should you do with the sequel?
    You could make it optional co-op, make both Sarah and Deacon playable in co-op. Make them go into big city to explore what's left of humanity, make them find out what has happened with rest of the world. Make them meet more survivors. Extend bike mechanics to boats, so you have to make sure you have enough gas canisters with you, before you go to sea. There could be mutated sharks and other sea creatures. Expand swimming/diving and so on...

    There is no other AAA open-world Zombie/survival game like Days Gone. NONE. This is the only game. Dying Light was decent game, but it's not even the same level, Days Gone is so much deeper and more complex. Dying Light 2 was awful. And if you really don't care about that game, just sell the rights to someone else, so someone else can make this masterpiece of a sequel. Sequel that fans actually want and are actually asking for. Thanks for reading.    … Expand

By the way, if you look for them, you can find fuel cans all over the place, i never ran out of them and you can fill your bike at gas station. That's what makes it fun. Planning out your routes, before going on your way. It would be almost stupid (in this game) to endless drive around. I know it had fps issues and bugs on PS4, i get that. But tons of games have had that. RDR2 PC launch was one of the worst i have ever seen , but they fixed it and the game is amazing now. Literally same thing with Days Gone. Runs flawlessly on my PC and looks amazing. After 7 hours, zero bugs. None. Everything works. It's one of the best, if not best open-world zombie game that has been made so far. I enjoyed it so much more than Dying Light (i don't hate that game btw and i'm hyped for sequel) and Dead Island combined. Days Gone has incredible atmosphere, thanks to keyboard+mouse, combat feels so much better than it ever did. It feels like this game was always meant to be on PC. I truly hope that PC gamers will finally give this game respect that it truly deserves. Same thing happened with "The Evil Within" (2014) and now it's one of the modern-horror classics. "Days Gone" is not perfect, but nothing is. Very enjoyable game and this time i truly mean it.    … Expand

    The game starts slow, but then you just can't get enough of the story. The characters: 10/10. The music: 10/10. The story 10/10. The atmosphere 10/10. The realism 10/10. The waifu 11/10.

    The combat gameplay isn't that great (AI is weak) and the sidequests are a bit copy/paste repetitive. But it's still an amazing game. Finished on Hard II in 44 hours.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My rating: 9.5/10
    This game is absolutely amazing! *Minor Spoilers Ahead* From the writing to the gameplay this title is absolutely a masterpiece and against Sony's judgment it 100% needs a sequel. Hat's off to Bend Studios for making this Mona Lisa level masterpiece of a game, From the story to the gameplay, everything is written and executed so well from the very beginning to the very end. Throughout the story, I countlessly ran into moments where I thought I knew exactly what's gonna happen and it threw it all out the window with such amazing twists. Each character from the beginning left a huge impression on me, with such strong voice actors and believably real emotional dialogue all performed to perfection, I was attached to Deacon and his story about trying to find his wife Sarah from the very beginning. From the flashbacks of those picture-perfect moments they shared throughout their relationship before the epidemic to the connection, Sarah shared through dialogue and physical cues to Deacon I found myself teary-eyed more with this game's story than I have with any other AAA title. When it came to gameplay none of the mission felt repetitive or used as filler and when dealing with 100's of enemies on screen at one time the intensity brought on by the music gave me that much more satisfaction to see that last enemy fall lifeless to the ground, being able to mow them down wasn't always easy and often times required creativity early game was never the less was still very satisfying. One thing that did not go unnoticed was the massive attention to detail this game presented from the snow building up on corpses to the sound of gas sloshing around in your motorcycle's tank depending on how full/empty it was. Some other things that did not go unnoticed were a few minor bugs late into the game I ran into like objects such as chairs and tables not rendering in one of the cutscenes in a medical tent at one of the later settlements you discover, a bunker not rendering once a hatch was opened in one of the many camps your fight through and the floor not rendering in on my final "boss fight", all of this I attribute to being a side effect from porting a game to PC as this game was initially released on April 26, 2019, for the PS4 as an exclusive. This stuff I'm sure will be patched in the coming months. Never the less it was nothing that wasn't fixed with a simple reload of a recent save. I can also forgive the lack of some small QoL changes such as auto looting corpses and more depth to the skill tree and weapon variety because of the aforementioned release date, granted there are already quite a few weapons but when it came to what the enemy dropped weapons it seemed almost every enemy had the same gun the game's version of an AK-47 with a few exceptions and there isn't much variety in weapon quality with there being 5 levels of weapon quality from poor to mil-spec and all functioning identically the same with some minor stat variations to stats I almost always ran into poor quality guns. Lastly, there were a few early-game moments I felt were missed opportunities to add variety to the game where for example when prying open the trunk of a car near the beginning of the game an infected child called a "Newt" jumps out and attacks you which was a great idea to introduce you to one of the few different infected types and gave me a good jump out of my seat, however, this was something I would not run into again through the entire game even after opening up hundreds of car trunks it only served to introduce the player to the creature that one time and not used as a possible event throughout the rest of the game, needless to say, I still prepared myself before opening any trunk for the possibility that it could happen again. My final message is to Sony, with such a rich atmosphere and tone set by the lore and encounters built through the hard work of everyone on that end screen of credits, leaving the ending on such a cliff hanger many of the characters stories only told as a single chapter in a collection of books does not do this game justice nor does it do those very same people justice, THIS GAME DESERVES, NO IT NEEDS A SEQUAL!    … Expand

    Don't listen to critic reviews (some of them at least) made by people who have spent less than 2 hours playing the game.
    One of the main "flaws" those critics pointed out is that the game starts out a bit slowly (these same critics give Death Stranding a 100 even though it takes 6-10 hours for the game to start out).

    But enough of this crap, Days Gone is a very good open world zombie game. For an open world game the storyline is surprisngly very good and engaging because as real gamers know.. open world games tend to have not so great storylines most of the time...

    The gameplay does get repetetive but once again I ask you.. which open world gameplay doesn't get repetetive?
    You have the fast travel option but anybody who has played the game probably never uses it because it's just so satisfying driving your bike around and upgrading it.
    The zombie hordes are the cherry on top of this game.

    I really enjoyed this game. The story is great, the visuals are stunning. The game play gets switched up a lot and does not get boring at any point during the game. The atmosphere in the game feels genuine and can make you get lost in the world of Days Gone for hours. I´m deducting two points for two reasons though.

I´m deducting two points for two reasons though.

    The first deducted point is for technical faults. I played this game with an Xbox-Controller, which does work but is poorly implemented. The UI elements randomly switch to keyboard controls without me touching keyboard or mouse. This does not happen in any other game for me, so I guess its not a hardware fault. This can be extremely annoying, when during a quick-time event you have to think about what the F-key on the keyboard is on the controller now, leading to a lot of failed QTE´s. The pause menu also pops up at random intervals, gladly not often enough to be frustrating.

    The second point deducted is difficulty spike. Without spoiling anything: There´s a point in the game where an overly hard and frustrating game mechanic is introduced (you´ll know what I mean when the word "Chemult" gives you nightmares). It is an unskippable part of the story multiple times and requires a whole bunch of grinding and multiple tries every time. The game could have done without it.    … Expand

    Didn't play it on PS4. Hearing good things, gave it a try on PC. Have been enjoying the story. As for gameplay, it's fun. Nothing new to the genre but the developers did a good job porting it to PC and added ability to configure graphic settings. Everything on max and runs smoothly - maintaining 60 frames or better on a 2070. I wish this game had co-op.. Not one single issue so far.

    The story is very good and a pleasure to follow. Side quests are part of the main story, so you enjoy doing them. And the main thing is the atmosphere of the game. Just fine.

    With very good graphics, I play the game on a fairly old PC. I limited the frame rate to 30 fps and it plays just fine. The camera is perfectly controlled. Sometimes it jerks when driving when moving to another zone.

    The graphics, gameplay, story and driving are all top notch. And the main thing is that nothing gets boring during the passage. I usually don't finish games until the end due to imbalanced gameplay, simply because it gets boring to play until the end. But Days Gone is just fine and balanced.

    I think the developers know their stuff. It can be seen that they tried very hard on this game and everything was done with love.

His voice-acting is nausiatingly bad and he acts like he is 15 years old but probably around 30. That always puzzles me, why would you make a character that is unlikeable? Pretty incredible that one can love the game as much as I do when hating the very person you play, but it works at least, just imagining what it would be like with an actual cool guy. I also wish it was slightly larger in scale and more to collect, but thats the hoarder in me and some hate that. Suprisingly long game which is a good thing. One odd thing to mention is that depending on what mission you are on, and when you are not in missions, you get random calls on your radio/walkie which can be like the same person calling within 5 seconds which you just talked to. I think that is a minor flaw, but I think it had to be so that be could choose what missions to play when, rather than play in one specific order, which would be worse.

    Thanks to the studio for having it on PC (actually contacted the directors about 1.5 years ago to beg them to port it to PC, they did not answer but read it, so maybe it can help?)    … Expand

    I am still playing this game, long after completing it. I don't want to let it go. I have not been as attached to characters since The Last of Us.

The hordes are brilliant, the missions are brilliant. Great battles. The only problem I have with it is it buggy, weapon wheel is clunky and it can be heard to pick the right throwable weapon. The critics got this one wrong and if Sony don't bring out a sequel, they are missing a huge opportunity. In feel like the sequel to this one, could be the best game ever made. It is certainly blazing a trail of possibilities for the future of open world survival horror.… Expand

Like I can't think of a single thing I don't like... maybe that sound is a bit scuffed, in the sense that enemies always seem right next to you when they can be far away, inside buildings etc.

    And honestly the story is much better than that other game critics suck up to.

    I guess the bad reviews are from game reviewers who either chill big names, can't appreciate games with actual gameplay (not just a movie in the shape of a game), or because the game is not "inclusive" enough or some ****

    The game is a great addition to open world games and zombie games alike, with just enough familiar and unique elements to keep it fun. I can't find any noticeable flaws. I guess the bad reviews are just the good old disconnect between what game journalist think a good game is, vs normal players.    … Expand

    1. Boring open-world - False. Days Gone open-world has many interesting places to visit, with different atmosphere, a lot big buildings to explore, underground bunkers and more.

    2. Bad chracters / bad writing / bad story - Extremely false.
    This game has about million times better characters and writing than last of us 2 could even dream of. It's not Red Dead Redemption 2 level, but for example, i found writing in this game better than in Alan Wake and i like Alan Wake btw. Characters are very much relatable, likable and realistic, unlike characters in last of us 2.

    3. This has done 100 times before / another zombie game - False.
    Days Gone is best open-world zombie game. There have been only few decent attempts for open-world zombie game before and most of them are just meh. Days Gone does it better than any previous try. So i want to ask, how has it been done 100 times before? In what universe?

    Way better than The Last of Us and without a question better than The Last of Us 2. There's many reasons why it beats TLOU, but i think main thing would be story. Days Gone simply has way more of it, it's actually interesting and there's many different storylines, so if you don't like one, there's definitely something you will like.

    I always felt TLOU story was extremely over rated.    Way better than The Last of Us and without a question better than The Last of Us 2.

Days Gone simply has way more of it, it's actually interesting and there's many different storylines, so if you don't like one, there's definitely something you will like.

    I always felt TLOU story was extremely over rated. It's just most basic, generic going from point A to point B, extremely linear and half the dialogue is just most basic stuff you can come up with. In Days Gone, dialogue is way more natural and actually feels real. TLOU feels more like a movie. In Days Gone you feel, like you are actually living in zombie apocalypse world.

    I'm not saying TLOU is bad, but i never really cared for it and i had hard time finishing it, because it was so obvious that both of them are going to survive. There were no risks and after Last of Us 2, first game became completely pointless, because now you already know that everything you did in the first game was for nothing.

    Then there's obviously riding around, free roam, exploring whatever area you feel like at any time, killing hordes. These are things TLOU doesn't have. In TLOU you just walk through this linear story and that's it. The end. Days Gone is more like GTA V, something you can play basically endlessly.
    That's why i also feel weird that some people event want to somehow compare TLOU and Days Gone, while these games are very different. Days Gone is more in line with Dead Island (2011) and Dying Light (2015), but does everything better than both of these. But yea like i said TLOU wasn't anything extremely new either, even Dead Island did all this crafting/looting thing before it. I would say Days Gone just finally perfected all these things.

    Days Gone at least has solid reason to actually get a sequel and i hope it will, because it truly deserves it.    … Expand

    Yet it was Days gone who kept me glued to screen for a week stright,unlike ubisoft games that took me solid 8 months to drag to end.

    Gunplay feel amazing,sounding is rich and being chased by the horde of 500 swarmers is a truely breathtaking experience.
    I fell in love with bike handling on sight,crusing through Oregon at irl midnight is such a vibe.
    I also liked crafting,and survival elements and world lore in general.
    Pc port is great,unlike Horizon's one.Game runs great.144 frames 1440p with a game looking this good is truely PCMR experience.
    I encountered only minor bugs,typical for every game

    Nevertheless Days Gone needed a bit of more love and work.
    It lacks interactions at camps and out in the S h i t,interesting side quests and dialogues.Story needs a bit of lifting too.
    All of that can be improved in sequel tho.The core is there.

    I'm truly disappointed. Disappointed with Sony's attitude about this game. Days Gone is an AMAZING game. It deserves sequel and i really hope someday Sony will finally understand that this game is not just average. For me this game is not perfect, it has problems, but i strongly recommend everyone to try it out, for me this one is a masterpiece!

    This is the best Sony game ever. Yes, it is not perfect, and not devoid of flaws, but, traveling through the vastness of this harsh and such a charming world, I every now and then felt with what love the creators worked on their brainchild. Driving in the pouring rain alone deserves every cent spent on DAYS GONE.

    Such a fun game. Believable characters, excellent gameplay and a varied open world make for a great time killing zomb... err Freakers. The move to pc made the game so much better, 4k and 60+fps equals greater immersion and a better gaming experience.

    Infinitely better than it was on PS4 Pro, runs extremely well on PC, best Sony port yet, it has it's issues mind you, but nothing that a couple of post launch patches couldn't fix.

    The game is amazing, fantastic world, great characters, great acting, good combat and scary hordes.

So the overall review will not be coming the angle "well, that's a scenario full of cliche about dead people eating living people", I have a taste for that kind of content.

    Overall, I was impressed. That game left a lasting after-taste in my mouth, a mix of sweet / sour / sad feelings, but great and remembering. Graphics are astonishing, character development was great, the feel of traveling on the road was superb, I almost put a brick of sh*t when encountering a horde for the first time :) I definitely recommend this game to fans of the genre.

    Now about things I was not happy with:
    - missions are very similar and boring, just like clearing the camps. Interesting to do it once or twice, but 40-ice not so. The missions do not differ much - it's just go from point A to point B and grab something / kill something.
    - RPG part is underdeveloped, by the end you master everything so replayability is close to 0.
    - control sometimes give weird reactions, like instead of making a dodge-roll jumping forward to the enemy to meet a hail of bullets.
    - some bugs closer to the last missions may force you to restart a checkpoint.

    Overall, I give it 9 of 10.    … Expand

    I've never expected to become as ivensted in the game as I did in the end.

    the emotional core of this game is incredible strong - so strong, in fact, that it carried me through the open world slog and routine of clearing camps and hunting freakers for bounty in the beginning, before the game got to the good stuff. whenever I got bored I would just hit the road and drive just for fun,    I've never expected to become as ivensted in the game as I did in the end.

    the emotional core of this game is incredible strong - so strong, in fact, that it carried me through the open world slog and routine of clearing camps and hunting freakers for bounty in the beginning, before the game got to the good stuff. whenever I got bored I would just hit the road and drive just for fun, the same way I did in RDR2 and the Witcher 3 and even Cyberpunk. yes, it's partly due to the beautiful world and graphics and all the effort put into the immersion, but those things can only keep your attention so long before you start to treat the game as a chore (hello, latest Assasin's Creeds). you need a very strong foundation.

    and Deacon IS that foundation. the man, however stereotypical he may seem at the first glance, carries the whole game on his shoulder. other cast members are mostly great too (ESPECIALLY Booser and Sarah), but they come and go while Deacon is always there, narrating almost every moment of the game in his mumbly, painfully strained voice. I though it would get too old very soon, but just as you start to think that Deacon talks maybe a little too much, the game throws you into unreasonably wholsesome and sweet flashbacks, and a potentially irritating protagonist quirk suddenly becomes a marker of his whole character development. to say more would be a spoiler.

    the other thing that keeps you from skipping on exploring the open world and searching for resources are, of course, the hordes. if you think you can get by without crafting and managing your supplies, think again. the best case scenario - you're clearing out the nests and suddely find out you don't have enough molotov for the last one and you're out of kerosene to make a new batch. the worse case - the same happens when you've just caught an eye of about a hundred of freakers in the middle of a road. so help you God. I don't remember the last time I've actively rode around the map entering every house praying to find at least some piece of resources - maybe, just one styrofoam cup or a rag - because I've just spent almost everything I've head to make crazy crows stop peckng poor Deacon and it's already 8 o'clock.

    I would say the only thing I personally missed from the experince was in-game music, like a radio of some kind. I understand the concerns about ruining the atmosphere in some instances, but, in my opinion, it would help the simple travel from A to B feel a lot more engaging. and it's not like there is no way to justify a radio in the world of the game - Copeland already has one, so why not play a tune from time to time, when things are calm and slow? maybe something to consider for the sequel, if it ever comes (which it most certainly should do).    … Expand

    Great port of a great title. Zombie games are all around us, but Bend Studio managed to squeeze every last drop out of this worn out setting. Everything is well-designed and polished in Days Gone – the believable world and characters in it, the distinct post-apocalyptic aura, the crafting, the thrilling combat and spectacular encounters with bloodthirsty hordes. In addition, this version is well-optimized and runs smoothly on a mid-range PC. [08/2021, p.48]

    The PC version of Days Gone manages to be a superior experience. More polished and better performing than the original on PS4. It doesn't escape its sins however – a story with an uneven pace associated with repetitive and sometimes unnecessary mechanics. The game would benefit if some mechanics were simplified, but it is still a very solid option for those who like open worlds, motorcycles and zombies.

    For my money, Days Gone remains one of the absolute best open-world games on the market, and now more people will have the opportunity to try it out for themselves as it puts its best foot forward. That’s something worth celebrating, I think.
