    The best game I've ever played about zombies/freakers. The story, the gameplay and the soundtrack awesome. There are some repetitive missions but whatever.

This game immersed me for weeks and hundreds of hours and it was completely unexpected how much I would love this game. Virtually all the tech issues in the PS4 version are fixed in the PC version. The story lags in the middle and is too long, I thought halfway through it would be over but it gets a 2nd wind and the last 25% is excellent. It could have been even better with more focus and more filler cut out or made optional. I wish Bend would get a chance to make a sequel but it looks doubtful.… Expand

    Originally platinumed on the PS4, I bought it again on PC couple years later.

    One of my all time favorite apocalyptic zombie games to date.

    It's got everything, weapons, bikes, hordes, a good story, a skill tree, stealth, bike upgrades, romance, jealousy, resentment, backstabbing, heartache, happiness, humor.

    A must must buy! You have to play it at least once.

    Very good game! For sure it has some flaws, but overall the open world gameplay fits well with the story and side activities. Its a shame that no sequel will follow. For me its one of the best zombie-themed titles available!

    I Played a lot of games in my life, in this 22 years a very small part of this games get into my heart. Day's Gone is one of them. Beautiful story with some funny bugs on the PC version.

    Deacon need to continue his journey, I need to continue the journey with him, so sad to hear that **** Sony Game Studios stop to believe in this project. Hate Sony a lot but thanks for this lovely game.

    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!

    I have no idea how this game received such "bad" reviews. This is one of the best open world action game on the market. Much better than other Sony games like Horizon games. And much better than Ubisoft boring games. Great atmosphere, great map, good characters and story with very likeable main protagonist and good missions and side content. Also PC port is great.

    Really solid Open-World Zombie game. There's hardly any similar games, that could compete. I personally didn't care for Dying Light, but they are pretty different games anyway. Now i'm just waiting for Sony to announce Days Gone 2, because there's no way, they would throw away this gem.

    Really good zombie related game can see that walking dead was a huge influence on the story and setting and that the game plays side missions really crafted like farcry 3. Very good game and underrated if you like resident evil or red dead redemption you will like this game.

Игра слишком лёгкая, даже не уровне выживание 2, всё, начиная от патронов и заканчивая ингредиентами даётся слишком легко, тупой ИИ врагов, который не доставляет тебе практически никаких проблем, стелс, который сделан с нарушением всякой логики происходящего, ты можешь двигаться рядом с врагом а он не будет тебя видеть, ты убиваешь одного врага, а другие продолжают заниматься своим делом не замечая смерти своего товарища хотя тот находился в зоне их видимости, постоянные реплики самого героя озвученные невпопад и по любому мало мальскому событию, порой хочется, чтобы он просто молчал и не мешал играть, однотипные, повторяющиеся (почему в игре с таким бюджетом нельзя было записать сотни разных рассказов, обращений, приветствий и т.д., чтобы мир чувствовался более реалистичным и живым, непонятно) и опять же невпопад произнесённые реплики НПС. Всё это просто убивает атмосферу игры и не даёт по полной насладится, очень, очень, очень неплохо придуманным миром, а жаль, чертовски жаль. И всё же, игра достойная, но как же хотелось, чтобы она стала легендой ……, но увы ……

    Don't listen to the so-called professional critics that are giving low scores like 5 or 6 the game is far better what they say. Only problem for me is that it lacks mission variety most secondary missions feel the same, but the main story is very well done

    The most UNDERRATED game of the last 5 years atleast. The game has a great story, great length, great amount of stuff to do and most importantly NOT POLTICALLY CORRECT. It's just an enjoyable, challenging, stealth, action, motorcycle driving, fun game.

    Oh, and there's a ton of super fast, crazy zombies in it. A must play for action game lovers.

    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.

    Just finished this game today and have to say it's been a blast. Good story, good fun, good characters and more than a nod to the MC sub culture. Skipped some of the horde sections as found them a bit too demanding, but overall a very enjoyable experience.

    Great game, looking very nice. Not a 10 but not a 6 or below either. 7 or 8 seems accurate.

    Story is somewhat interesting.

    Not much of a zombie games fan when it's not COOP. But i'm enjoying the game.

    Runs smooth and looks good.

    Weapons feel good to use, the bike is good to ride, the world is a lush countryside with a gruesome, blood-soaked smattering in some places. Fighting the hordes is one of the most frustrating, but ultimately satisfying thing you'll do in gaming.
    Also I played this from start to finish on Steam Deck and it works flawlessly.

    Although, when it comes to the general concept of zombie games, I'll never understand why the zombie games developers never created a meat grinder machine that attracts zombies in front of it with large speakers and just grinds them down with two turning wheels like industrial machines in mining do. I guess that there would be no point in fighting with them at all then and there would be no game. In case of real zombie apocalypse, don't fight the zombies with nukes, or guns. Fight them with tank like industrial machines that cut down zombies in large numbers at once. Millions of zombies will be a trifle then with little damage to the environment or infrastructure, little expense and no danger to the surviving population.    … Expand

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?)    … 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.
