    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.

    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.    10/10

    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.    … Expand

    This game is better than Resident Evil Village+Cyberpunk+Gears 5+Outriders all together and any other recent game having been released for pc in the last few months. Sony did an impressive job, the game is very polished, nothing is left to negligence, greatly optimised, fun to play and engaging. We want more games like this in the future!

    There is some repetitiveness, but the world is so beautiful, gameplay is so fun, story is great, riding bike feels very good, and the overall atmosphere of the game makes me return to this game for a third time.

    Great open world, love this game and port to PC is just awesome: I can play on 4k / max settings using rtx 2080ti and have around 75-80 fps.

    Advice: update your nVidia drivers: before update I had nearly 60 fps, update added ~15fps

Site that gave this game very negative review has article that says "cancelling Days Gone 2 is one of the best decision of the year", who and why would even say something like that? Very clearly someone who hates this game with passion. I'm extremely confident that thanks to PC release, Days Gone 2 is coming and absolutely no fake review that tries to pretend like this game is bad, is not going to change that. Days Gone is best open-world zombie game ever made. Better than Dying Light and Dead Island combined. 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

    Misconceptions / Lies about Days Gone by Professional reviewers.

    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. If Days Gone open-world is boring, so is Red Dead Redemption 2's open-world and everyone knows that's not true. 2.

    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.    … Expand

    There's so much detail in this game.

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.    … Expand

    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

    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.

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.

    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.
