    Underrated Masterpiece! About time Days Gone came to PC, hopefully it finds it's true fans on PC.

    I waited almost 2 years for GTA V PC Version, so waiting for Days Gone PC Version was no problem tbh and it was worth it. Runs well, looks amazing and is just good game. Weather (rain, lighting strikes) are really well done, maybe one of the best.

I was bored to death playing HZD story. Days Gone is at least fun even outside story. I rather run away from hordes and fight them, than kill some robots that are easier to take down than your hat. I bet people who don't like this game, also don't like Resident Evil games or Dying Light. They don't like zombies / survival setting in general. Just cause you don't like zombies, doesn't mean that it's bad okay? To me it's easily best open-world zombie game. Can anyone name better one? Dying Light? Not even close. I'm hyped for Dying Light 2 because this time it looks interesting, but Dying Light 1 was super boring. You hardly had any weapons. Story was extremely boring. No horror at all. Long live Days Gone.… 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!

    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.

    Sony you are the best! You ported this game on PC in a flawless way! Have been playing it for many hours and no bugs so far, incredible stability, incredible framerate and top notch graphics, very beautiful colours, HDR mode is great! Wow! You did a very impressive job. Game is so exciting, thrilling, story and characters are great. A must play for everyone

    Days Gone for PC is the best game I've ever played in my life, way better than the buggy, overrated and boring Cyperpunk 2077. Awesome graphics, outstanding story, intriguing gameplay and open world. This porting is perfect. I have nothing more to add. Thanks for letting us pc gamers play this masterpiece

    Play it briefly on PS4 Pro when i heard it was coming to PC, so i decided to wait, and im not regreting it. The game looks amazing, it's well optimize, gameplay is fun and as far as now the story and characters are fine. i would actually give the game a 9 but i will upgrade it to 10 just for being a really good zombie game.

    This is one of my favorite games.
    Personally I like it much more than both parts of Last of Us.
    And now, playing it on PC looks like the game was made for PC in first place: shooting is good, world is beautiful, controls are set to reasonable defaults. Optimisation is great too. My PC specs are: Core i7 8700k RTX 2080 TI 16 Gb RAM And I have nearly 60 FPS in 4k on max settings.    This is one of my favorite games.

    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.

    I have seen some people complaining that fuel goes out too fast. I completely disagree. That's one of the best survival elements this game has and it's unique. By the way, if you look for them, you can find fuel cans all over the place, i never ran out of them and you can fill your bike at gas station. That's what makes it fun. Planning out your routes, before going on your way. It would be almost stupid (in this game) to endless drive around. I know it had fps issues and bugs on PS4, i get that. But tons of games have had that. RDR2 PC launch was one of the worst i have ever seen , but they fixed it and the game is amazing now. Literally same thing with Days Gone. Runs flawlessly on my PC and looks amazing. After 7 hours, zero bugs. None. Everything works. It's one of the best, if not best open-world zombie game that has been made so far. I enjoyed it so much more than Dying Light (i don't hate that game btw and i'm hyped for sequel) and Dead Island combined. Days Gone has incredible atmosphere, thanks to keyboard+mouse, combat feels so much better than it ever did. It feels like this game was always meant to be on PC. I truly hope that PC gamers will finally give this game respect that it truly deserves. Same thing happened with "The Evil Within" (2014) and now it's one of the modern-horror classics. "Days Gone" is not perfect, but nothing is. Very enjoyable game and this time i truly mean it.    … Expand

    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.    … Collapse

    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.
