    I've "pirated" it on release, but it's a god damn masterpiece... So I bought it without any thoughts and trying to get plat on NG+.
    70+ Hours of meditative game-play, good story, and emotions.

    P.S. Sony, we're begging you to make the second part

    вождение 9/10 -1 потому что нельзя въехать на крутой склон(там где в реалии скорей всего проехал бы), сразу переворачивает,

    definitely worth playing! Astonishing graphics, gameplay similar to Last of us. No lags no freeze at all (went ideally at GTX 1070 TI) which cannot be said about other 2021 year games. In summary, my score is at least 8.0 because open world looks less empty than fulfilled. Anyway, that's nice game. Gotta wait for your other projects

    For some context I just finished Valhalla and Fenix rising.
    All these games fall under the same category of these big open world sandbox games.
    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 really hope Sony will give Days Gone 2 green light and I am looking forward to play more amazing Sony Studios games

    Very solid game. Specially music and graphics + solid story and interesting enough characters. Most fun is just free roaming and killing hordes tho + exploring abandoned buildings, caves and crafting stuff, collecting stuff, trying to survive in this zombie wasteland. Would recommend more than any other 2021 game so far.

    Let me shorten your time for a long reading.
    This game is a successful combination of games like FAR CRY along with Dying light.

How is this even possible? Small group of people who know absolutely nothing about video games and they give this amazing game low score and THANKS to that, this game is not getting a sequel? Despite this game having very positive (91%) score on steam, selling over 20 000 copies in it's first week. Despite having strong fanbase for years. Despite selling millions of copies. It's not getting sequel, because some non-gamers who only live for diversity and twitter replies, gave this game low score? Kidding me? Who are they anyway that THEY can somehow decide what game deserves sequel and what doesn't? I could literally write a book about how pathetic this whole system is and specially about this game, because in this situation, Days Gone might be most important game in history of video games to get a sequel. If Days Gone doesn't get a sequel i might actually give up gaming. I'm just so done with this bs industry where people who actually don't care about gaming, can decide what can get sequel and what doesn't. Expand

    (Thanks Google translate) Great game, despite little innovation (except the hordes), and a bit of filling, the game is truly Jewish. The beginning is a bit slow but the more we advance in the story, the more we become attached to the characters. This game really has a "soul" ...
    The music, the atmospheres are also a strong point.

The atmosphere is great, textures, lighting, characters, story, combat, there is really only one negative thing and that is Deacon, the main character is such a whining btch. 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?)

    The game looks beautiful, it just blew me away constantly, it's not red dead beautiful but it's not far from it.

    The story isn't incredible but the game as some of the best writing and dialogues out there. Every character in this game is believable. Every dialogues is full of life and the actors who plays deacon should be praised as much as Roger Clark.

    The gunplay is more than good enough, it actually it feels like red dead, so if you didn't liked the gameplay of red dead 2 you will not like the gameplay of days gone.

    I didn't had any bugs in the game and i finished it at 100%, not a single crash, no issues at all.

    This game is as good as any other triple a if not better. This game blew me away and was the best experience i had in a game since red dead. Cyberpunk was trash, death stranding was really good but the gameplay was painful.

    As for the controls, I found the bike to be a bit sluggish or "wonky", but after some play time I really ended up loving it enough to be disappointed by other games motorcycles mechanics. Take it in strides and enjoy the ride.

    The game is super solid.

    Environment - It's atmosphere and weather effects are beautiful and aren't just for show, you see a major influence in the behavior and number of enemies during rain and snow storms. The world itself is rich and lush, it really carries this sense of being abandoned by mankind for two years when the story itself starts. Voice Acting - What can I say besides

    Environment - It's atmosphere and weather effects are beautiful and aren't just for show, you see a major influence in the behavior and number of enemies during rain and snow storms. The world itself is rich and lush, it really carries this sense of being abandoned by mankind for two years when the story itself starts.

    Voice Acting - What can I say besides well done to the people that did the acting for these characters. You can very much hear and tell what a character is feeling or going through just from the tone in their voice alone, even if their face remains calm. It could be better in some places with maybe a few more diverse lines of dialogue that gets repetitive later in the game because its recycled for raiding camps and doing other world objectives but other than that the voice acting itself is incredibly well done.

    AI - A lot of people complain about the AI but honestly its up there. Enemies will dodge and weave to get closer to you, take cover, flank and even the Horde will split into two or three different groups to try and box you in or will spread out along a ridge to try and block off escape routes. If you think that's bad AI, go back to playing Cyberpunk 2077 where they just walk into walls.

    Gameplay - This is probably the one spot I am iffy on. The missions can get very repetitive at times, go here and kill this or retrieve this. But its not entirely bad. If you just hop off your bike and go in shooting every time, that is on you for only utilizing one way to play when there's an unlimited amount of ways you can do it to keep it from feeling repetitive. Instead of going in shooting you can use stealth and take everyone out, you can lure in Freakers to an enemy camp and let them wipe them out, etc. It can feel fresh if you WANT it to. Guns feel pretty satisfying to shoot as well, though I will not be afraid to admit that the enemies feel a bit bullet spongey with body shots but not to the point that it feels unfair to fight them.

    Narrative - Personally, I love the story of Days Gone. Its unpredictable at times, keeps from repeating itself too much and adds life to its characters. This seems to be a trait all of Sony's games have been able to accomplish and its well welcomed in my eyes. It can be a bit cheesy every now and then but it can also be upsetting, funny, shocking, just a wide array of emotions they're able to hit. Music comes in at the perfect time to add depth and meaning to a moment that just ties it together perfectly.

    Bugs - This will be my least favorite part, obviously. While the PC port came in with nowhere near the amount of bugs the PS4 release had, there sometimes are still issues. Mostly it pertains to the dialogue however, with lines coming in back to back or every now and then out of order. A character talking to you will say they will talk later but if you already have a certain objective done by then they'll call back in right after and start talking. It just gets confusing at times and frustrating in others. Only once during my entire playthrough of the game did I run into a visual glitch inside of a building where none of the furniture or interior rendered so I was running into invisible objects, though a quick save and restart of the game did fix it. But it is the main reason I had to knock off a point. Note there may be others but this is all that I ran into during my full playthrough.

    My specs - I'm running on a GF65 Thin with NVIDIA 1660ti, I7 2.6ghz CPU, 16gb RAM, 64 bit OS and am able to run at maxed out setting with no lag at all for those wondering if their PC can handle it, there's a reference point. Sony and Bend Studios did an amazing job porting this game over and optimizing it, for this I can not congratulate them enough.

    End note : The game is absolutely worth it. You WILL get your money's worth and for 50 dollars you receive 50+ hours of gameplay and story if you take your time. The game is slow burning and takes time to get to its best parts but it's absolutely worth it when you get there. I really don't think many of these critics put in the time to get to those points and experience them first hand which I find is a major problem with the industry. Honestly it's almost like after initial reviews when the game first came out, many of which never mentioned the Horde mechanic, they went and read about it or watched a video instead of experiencing it first hand. Fast paced games usually get higher scored and those that take 8 or 10 hours to really get to see what it has to offer get lower scores, this game being a shining example. If you like TLOU and Far Cry, try combining those two and you have Days Gone would be my best explanation to someone who has never heard of it. Discard what some of these critics say and treat yourself to an amazing story and game.

    I knew this game had a mixed reception on PS4, but I have enjoyed it quite a lot.

    It’s not too common to see Unreal Engine 4 doing big open worlds without major performance or optimization issues, but Days Gone manages to present a decently sized world, with nice looking graphics and environments, and it runs pretty well.

    Mouse input feels good enough, no issues for me, despite some people experiencing some issues with a small “mouse deadzone”, I play at 1600 DPI and 0.12 in game sensitivity, and had zero issues aiming my headshots.

    Keybinds are very customizable and left handed friendly (I'm lefty and I can use arrow keys, and all the keys nearby, including Numpad keys). There's also a "walk" toggle key, which so many games lack these days, and we can make sprint and aim either hold or toggle, also very good. There's also the option to change QTEs from quick tap to hold, also a welcome feature for keyboard users.

    Performance is great on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, even at 150% Scale, Very High Settings, getting like 70-80 FPS, and no particular stutters so far that I have noticed. The in game frame-rate limiter isn't the greatest, that's a common thing to see in games, but Rivatuner or NV Control Panel can improve that, in case you want to set an FPS cap.

    I have read (and seen) that the resolution scale the game uses can actually degrade image quality the higher we go, so I ended up switching to 1620 DSR downsampling.

    I could also notice some ghosting / trails on the motorcycle’s wheels, due to TAA probably, but it’s not too distracting. Probably something to look into for a future patch, for sure.

    The characters are well animated and only in rare occasions I noticed some awkwardness in certain cutscenes; overall, they did a decent job with this, I reckon. Their models are quite detailed too, with nice textures and skin shading, and even a nice sweat effect on them, or also used when they bleed or it’s raining, very nice indeed.

    Speaking of characters, I liked most of them except the ones that were supposed to be hated for obvious reasons.
    Witwer’s performance as Deacon was nice, probably resembling him a bit too much at times, haha, obviously since they scanned his face and all, but it’s just him, his mannerisms and all, I thought it was funny to see him so accurately in the game.

    The story I also liked it, even though this is a theme very used in other games, especially in “zombie” games, but I think the game dealt with the matter quite well.
    By the end of the game I felt quite a lot was accomplished by the main character and his allies, but of course we all know this game has a, somewhat, open ending and yeah I could pretty much see a sequel here, there’s enough material and, honestly, it’d be a shame if this world and game do not get a proper sequel, I do understand now how all the console players who’ve been asking for a sequel feel, it's not a bad game, really, it's not the greatest of all time, but it's not bad either, it's enjoyable.

    All in all, don’t want to extend this review too much, I enjoyed the game quite a lot, the motorcycle is awesome, handles pretty damn well with keyboard and mouse, honestly, way better than in most games, where normally a controller is preferred, but here it was exceptionally good with the keyboard, a good amount of inertia and weight to it, so it felt just right.

    Compared to Horizon Zero Dawn, which had a disastrous PC launch, with many issues and crashes for a huge part of the player base, Days Gone’s release has been amazingly smooth so…good job, Bend Studio, this is how you launch on PC a port from a console game.

    I'm so glad I didn't play much of Days Gone on the PS4. The PC version is amazing. The game has been optimised extremely well and will run even on medium powered PCs. The story and world is intriguing and interesting, and the characters are fleshed out and real.

    This game is definitely worth your time.

    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!

    Great post apocalyptic zombie game. If you are a fan of the genre and were on the fence should you buy it- go ahead. It is really worth the money.
    Wanted to give 9/0 due to some minor bugs (enemies flying in the air after death, getting stuck in he ground when running up a hill etc ) that hindered immersion. But i know they will fix the bugs in upcoming patches. So let it be 10 out if 10.

    I did not feel anything in the atmosphere, no horror no emotions nor beauty. The Plot was a big fail trying to be emotional in a way I've seen a bilion times that does not work anymore. The existing of zombies is not fearing. I don't know how to explain it but the game feels like another DEAD RISING.

After finally rolling credits I gotta say I love this game, and I am a little surprised at the relatively low score the ps4 version got. I don't know if there were technical issues or not but it runs like butter on my pc.

    Graphics: I love the graphical settings in the start menu. More games need to do this. There are sliders for pretty much everything including fov, and they all change in real time. It's great, I love it. At max setting everything looks crisp and clean. Although not the pinnacle of graphic design, it does enough to keep you immersed in the world.

    Sound: it's fine.

    UI: Like I stated in the graphics tab the UI is generally easy to use. My only problem was the finicky weapon wheel. Crafting from the weapon wheel can be annoying thanks to the sub menu per item. If you are using a controller it can be difficult to keep the joystick on the object you are trying to craft. Not a big deal just a tad frustrating sometimes.

    Combat: Quite smooth really. At first I thought the gunplay was kinda crap but that was only because I didn't put many skill points in but once i did it got a little more enjoyable, especially with the focus shot (pretty much bullet time).

    The World: Very beautiful. The rolling hills and lush forests of Oregon comes across as a beautiful backdrop for a Zombie outbreak. I know I know, they are freakers, but come on....

    Characters: Though not on the same level as say Mass Effect, Days Gone still boasts a cast of interesting individuals as well as a protagonist that checks all the right boxes but might come across as a little disingenuous sometimes, and angry all the time (but that was kind of the point i think)

    Gameplay: Where the game shines imo. Upgrading your bike and earning credits from each camp has a nice loop to it. I found myself constantly getting sidetracked to be able to afford better weapons and parts for my bike as well as leveling up Deacon St. John (the protagonist) as often as I could.

    All in all a great game to get lost in, especially if your like me. Don't get me wrong, Mass Effect is probably my favorite series ever but I picked this game over The ME Remasters because I haven't already played Days Gone 6,467 times yet. :-)

    So far Days Gone is most fun i have had with video game in 2021. Feels good to finally have all the games that i like on PC. I also like Spider-Man (2018), but i feel like it wouldn't fit well for PC, because that's one game that you really need to play with controller, but one of the strong points of PC has always been keyboard+mouse, so it wouldn't make that much difference.

    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.

    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.

    Cons:
    * The checkpoint system before you get your bike back (and are able to then save between checkpoints) is annoying. It's an enforced, long tutorial. I lost progress at one point. Not only that, but even when you do get bikes and beds, you have to 1) get to them, and 2) not have enemies around. It's a major step back in time and should not exist on a PC game in 2021.

Not only that, but even when you do get bikes and beds, you have to 1) get to them, and 2) not have enemies around. It's a major step back in time and should not exist on a PC game in 2021.

    * I've encountered a couple of immersion-breaking bugs: an enemy standing in mid-air dozens of feet up, and a zombie that was frozen in position on the ground like a stone.

    * I don't know why they thought it'd be a good idea to have to hold down the X (or 'E' on keyboard/mouse) button for half the actions in the game. I looked for a setting to disable or speed this up, but there is none. It's bizarre and adds nothing, just wastes time and hurts my thumb. As well, this makes you sit through a tedious animation every time you craft an item, etc. It gets old fast.

    * The story and characters are uninspiring and generic. I've probably been spoiled by games like The Witcher 3, but "do fetch quest for camp leader so you can unlock next section" doesn't seem like it should fly in modern games.

    Pros:
    * I'm a massive Last of Us fan, and parts of it will feel familiar to TLoU players (stealth combat, scavenging), which is a pro if you like those mechanics, but TLoU did them better. It's far too easy to get rich with resources even on Hard. Stealth is also janky compared to TLoU. I had enemies spotting me without looking at me (literally looking 180 degrees the other direction, which now that I think about it, is yet another bug).

    * There's a few things that are new: the bike travel, the dynamic weather system, and the hordes to name a few.

    * If I rated games purely on visuals, this would get a thumbs-up. It's much more outdoor-oriented than the more-urban TLoU (though that game has beauty in its world's decay), and some of the views are breathtaking.

    Summary:
    * If they fixed things: more reliable save system, fewer tedious animations, several weeks on physics bug-fixing, and either ditched (for a pure sandbox open world) or improved the story, I would like this game! I really would. But they cut too many corners. Like another reviewer said, this feels like a Cyberpunk situation, where a non-AAA-size team was forced to release something too fast, too soon. There's a great game somewhere under the messy surface.

    There's so much detail in this game. Different locations, countless of buildings you can enter (i saw someone commenting they look too similar inside, i disagree, imo they looks just different enough). That city area is really cool, well designed. Then there's some cool things you can discover, but i can't say what, because it would be spoilers obviously.

    Like i just don't understand some negativity toward this game. It just doesn't make sense. Voice acting is really good, writing is solid, to my surprise it's actually really natural, not cringe or forced like some other recent games.

    I would highly recommend trying it, if you don't mind long story, bikes and zombies.

    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? I bet people who say that it has been done 100 times before would have hard time to even name 100 video games, let alone 100 zombie games.

How can anyone even say that this has been done 100 times before, while there was hardly any actually good open-world zombie games, before Days Gone? I'm so done with this bs, because it's very obvious why some people actually hate this game. If Days Gone main character was female, all the reviews would be 90/100. Last of Us 2 proved that. That's just disgusting, that good games get bad reviews, because people who review these games, never ever cared about video games. Expand

    красивый и интересный открытый мир, активности, сюжет, а главное отсутствие повесточки.

    This game has a bad case of third person perspective **** while shooting, you dont shoot where you are aiming at and it gets worse the closer enemies are. On consoles, kids dont notice or care about this because they just turn auto aim and breath through their mouths.
    The stealth is childish just like on the assassins creed franchise, crouch and you are invisible.
    The humans are dumber

    The humans are dumber than the zombies, unless they are snipers, then they are gods gift to humanity and can track you through walls.
    The game is either sleeping inducing emptiness or running away from a horde while trimming it down with scripted stuff, there's no middle ground.
    Your motorcycle drinks more gas than a v12 monster truck.
    There is no animation when you use curatives and no visual clues on your character that you are hurt, so if you play with the hud off you never know if you one hit away from dying (takes 2 on survival).
    Feels like an uninspired low budget game that was given more time and budget than it deserved, its polished and runs well, thats basically its only quality imo everything else is BORING.

    This is not a perfect game. It has something to fix and improve. But this is a good game.

    Great PC Port! Very well optimized for PC, no major bugs/glitches. Also, the game is amazing. Graphics are breathtaking, the hordes are absolutely terrifying, and the story is also very engaging even though it is not perfect. The characters are very interesting and likeable, specially the protagonist Deacon St. John (Cool name, btw!). Sam Witwer did a great job of voicing Deacon. TheGreat PC Port!

The gameplay is nothing new or innovative but since when did that become a criteria for enjoyable gameplay? The mechanics have been implemented very well; finding resources and fuel/parts for bike results in a solid survival experience and fighting zombies (and humans!) is a lot of fun. Highly underrated game. The game deserves a much better than a Metacritic score of 78. It's a hidden gem and a must-buy for fans of zombies and open world games. The game deserves a sequel. Please buy the game at full price on PC (it is worth every penny spent; you won't regret it, the game offers 60+ hours of gameplay) to show your support to the developers and increase the chances of getting a sequel to this fantastic game. And please sign and support the Days Gone 2 petition on Change.org so that Bend Studios get the chance they deserve. Expand

    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.

    This is simply the best game of the current generation. It's a mixture of LOU and RDR2, maybe a little MM. The graphics are great and this is very important as you immerse yourself in the game and enjoy the views all the time. The gameplay is constantly changing. There are сhase, shooting, adventure, survival horror. And most importantly, all this is perfectly balanced.

    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.

    If you like adventure games then don't miss Days Gone. Such games are rarely released.

    A perfect porting for a very nice game. I really enjoy it! I can easily run this game in 4K with everything on ultra with a 2080Ti. Flawless frame rate and no bugs or stuttering. This is the way how make a great game on PC. Just a couple of thing, 3D sound and HDR are superb here!

    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.

    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.
