    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.

    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.    … Expand

    One of my favorites from now on. Good story, good mechanics, GREAT optimization, works flawlessly on my decade old computer.

    It's a shame though that Sony cares about braindead "critics" and "game "journalists"" opinions more than players opinions.

    Underrated. This game deserved more back at 2019, I enjoy my whole playthrough. Is not a masterpiece, have some bugs, story can be predictable, gameplay was not bad and not good, just okay...

    And bad we will not have a sequel, but maybe maybe in one day, who know?!

    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.    Great post apocalyptic zombie game.

    I fell in love with this game pretty quickly honestly. I love the open world environment and it's super fun to defeat an entire zombie hord. I would have liked to see some base building tactics included here and a way to make the game more playable beyond the final ending. The game does seem to end pretty uneventfully which is a bit of a bummer but the rest of the game is pretty fantastic.

    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.
