    Amazing open world zombie game, not best story, but still very solid writing. Especially first half of the game, it got worse in second part, but still open world made up for it.

    This is one of the best games I've ever played, very underrated by critics for some reason.

    The atmosphere, the gameplay and the story of this game are all at very high level.

    PC version of the game is very good optimized and I could play it on high settings in 60 fps on old GTX970 card with i7 CPU and the game has very good graphics.

    This game is one of 5 my favourite games of all times.

    Literally created an account so that I could rate this game because it deserves way more praise than it initially received. One of my favorite open world games ever. Sure some of the writing can be a little cheesy at times, but it still makes you fall in love with the characters and want to dive into the story. Bend Studio thank you, and Sony WE WANT A SEQUEL!

    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

    Days Gone is a stunning open-world action game that is a must-play for fans of the genre.

    The graphics are beautiful, with stunning landscapes and detailed character models that bring the world to life. The sound design is also excellent, with a fantastic soundtrack and convincing sound effects that will have you on the edge of your seat.

    The gameplay is a mixture of action, stealth, and survival, with an emphasis on resource management and decision-making. The combat is intense and requires careful planning, and the stealth mechanics are well implemented and offer a different approach to the game.

    The story is well written, with strong character development and an engaging plot that will keep you invested from start to finish. The voice acting is also top-notch, with excellent performances from the cast that bring the characters to life.

    In conclusion, Days Gone is a must-play for fans of open-world action games. It offers a unique take on the post-apocalyptic genre and is a true testament to the developers' attention to detail and commitment to quality.

    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'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.

    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.
