    Days Gone is best open world zombie game ever made. Way better than Dying Light. I'm extremely happy that it comes to PC as it should, because on PC it can truly shine and playing it will be better in general with keyboard + mouse. It's one of the few ps4 exclusives i actually care about.

    Amazing game, sunk about 30hrs into this so far and still can't put it down. I haven't enjoyed a game like this since the witcher 3.

    The reviews are so disappointing for this amazing game. I never cared much for this game at first when announced. Although I am a huge zombie fan (The Walking Dead).

I went and pre-ordered it two days prior to release- And then Came the Reviews bashing this game like hell the day after, which made me rethink if I want to really buy this Game. Thank God I kept my order and gave this a try. I am about 13 hours in and the game has been nothing but super fun. Couple of fps drops once in my playthrough, the audio of the bike disappeared for 10 mins but other than it is fantastic. Never thought I could have so much fun in this game.

    The reviews called the missions repetitive but I think they are fun. I don't think they are that much repetitive.
    Story so far has been great.
    Voice acting is good.. not the best but its decent and keeps you in action.
    The atmosphere is fantastic..although it rains a lot in this game but it feels good.
    The bike handling is a mixed bag..it takes a little to get used to but once you get the hang of it and not use it too aggressively - it serves you fine for travel and escapes.

    Love the Melee combat feels great smashing heads and faces with my nail bat. Gun play is not the best but its not bad either, its pretty decent and gets the job done.

    Overall Days Gone is a great game that should not be missed because of those crazy reviews it received. I would rate

    Story so far 8/10
    Characters 7/10
    Voice acting 7/10
    Gun play 7.5/10
    Bike handling 7/10
    Melee Combat 9/10
    Music 8/10
    Atmosphere 9/10
    A.i smartness 5/10
    Fun level 9/10

    Rated based on other open world genre Games.

    But if judged on it is OWN as a game Overall I would give this Game a 9/10

    Don't believe in the reviews of journalists- Try for yourself.    … Expand

Also the game is everything else but repetitive. Every story mission is something completely new and refreshing. The jobs/errands you have to do for the camps are for a big part similiar (kill a bad guy, confirm his kill basically) yes, but that makes sense since you gotta do the dirty work for the camps to earn money, so I see no problem with that in this context.
    Following is a list of things that prevent this game of being perfect:
    - shooting when your are not in the "focus-mode" feels kinda weird and even with all skills that improve aim and such it's still not the best.
    - human AI is bad. Not just the enemies, but also when you have a companion in the battle
    - there are random encounters in the world. When you have one where you have to save hostages, the hostages are the same NPC every. single. time. You also see this particular npc a lot wandering in the camps.
    - dialogue and sub titles are sometimes asynchronous
    - black screens and loading screens for 1-3 seconds between cutscences and gameplay sections can destroy immersion
    - minor technical issues (although they are already adressed by the devs)    … Expand

    8.5 game for me. Lots of fun and loving the feel of the game: the world, story and combat are all engaging and interesting. It's not gonna be my game of the year or anything, but I'm happy that I got it and I'm looking forward to being strong enough to take on a horde. 12 hours in and I haven't tried yet. But I'm just waiting for it, specing my character with 100 of freakers on my mind!

    Cool gameplay mechanic, good graphics, and nice story. i dont know why the critics give this game bad ratings. every open world games will suffer from repetitiveness and bugs, and it is unavoidable for this kind genre of game (even for RDR 2). So i dunno why RDR 2 could get 9.7 rating and this game is only around 7 something. for me this game is around 8.5 or 9.

    Having played games since the early 80s I have experienced the best and worst, 'Days Gone' draws me into it's world just like 'The last of us' did, even with it's issues I gladly gave it a 9 for effort, if Sony Bend Studio listens to the feedback maybe future updates will gain it a 10.

First of all, it is easily one of the best looking games on PS4, I played on pro with 4K TV and HDR on, the environment in Days Gone is phenomenal , so is the atmosphere since weather varies in different time and different area, especially in rain, things look surprisingly realistic, and the more time I played the more I found it amazing how Bend studio managed to do great optimization work on this game with UE4 since it's a real open world when compared with uncharted 4, and it runs smoothly in most of part of gameplay. The main issues laid on story line and audio playing, just as some of the critics mentioned, at the begin hours of the game, with a lot of things remained unexplained, it can be very confusing when thinking about what the protagonist do, but things get more and more clear with the development of story, the biggest problem to me is the unnatural facial expression and strange conversation audio playing in some parts, which makes the gameplay less immersive. Overall to me, Days Gone is definitely not a 50,60 score game, at least 75, while because I'm still in progress, maybe it's gonna be lower or higher when I complete it, but so far so good is what I say.… Expand

    Days gone is not a perfect game, but it is also not so bad. Good graphics, normal story line, convenient interface, nice game-play and craft system. It is like Horizon Zero Dawn but in post-apocalypse world. If you want to be Daryl Dixon from Walking Dead, driving a bike and killing zombies/freaks this game I really recommended. My Score 7,5-8.

    There were however more bugs in this game then there should have been at launch, but a number of them seem to be patched already, and I am sure since it is a first party game, sony will make sure the rest are fixed asap. The only bug I have personally come across is an audio bug.

    One other thing, for those saying the game offers nothing new....I completely beg to differ. It is a third person shooter with stealth and fun as hell melee...standard stuff....but man I had ridden my bike past a number of zombies on the side of the road...typical stuff in any game that has a vehicle...you can just ride past...which is mostly true....till bam one comes running at me out of no where leaps through the air and tackles me off my bike while I am cruising by....next thing I know I am having to run to get the hell out of there as about 8 are running at me....took a little work and maneuvering to clear them out just to get back to my bike. Then you have the swarms...I happened to come across one where I can hear them, below...I am on a cliff about 40 feet above them thinking I am safe and go to the edge to look down at them......nope, suddenly they all start to agro as they spot me.....and next thing I know they are headed straight off the cliff and I am running for my life again.....good stuff....then don't even get me started on the creepy newts.

    Deacon is a total badass and the games world is beautiful!
    The games soundtrack and audio is top notch and the boom of shotguns and echo of a rifle crack in the woods is deeply pleasing.

    So fire up HDR and use your best audio setup and enjoy the experience.

    Days Gone is an masterpiece of a game made by the talented crew at Bend Studios. Looking out on the vast landscape of the Oregon woods with the snow falling down all around me and hearing the eerie music and soundscape of the world of this game, you could seriously not tell this was a debut AAA game from Bend.

Looking out on the vast landscape of the Oregon woods with the snow falling down all around me and hearing the eerie music and soundscape of the world of this game, you could seriously not tell this was a debut AAA game from Bend.

    The story follows Deacon St John (played by the excellent Sam Witwer) looking for clues relating to his beloved wife, all while trying to survive the harsh world around him and protecting all those close to him. The story was a surprising positive as I walked into Days Gone expecting a mediocre tale, to be welcomed by a lavish multi threaded story of the highest calibre, supported by excellent voice acting and mo-cap work by the team which makes everything feel real.

    I have seen a lot of reviews comment on the repetitive nature of the missions and whilst I can say there were not as much of a variety as I would have liked, they were a solid selection and no different from titles such as Spider Man with a core number of activities you do whilst working through the 30-40 hour story. I have enjoyed every mission of the game so far in the almost 10 hours I have played with the story and game-play mechanics keeping me engorged with the world of Days Gone.

    During the game you will clear out camps and Freaker nests as-well as other mission types intertwined with story missions with set pieces and a more narrative direction as well as side quests. This is a game anyone can pick up and enjoy, with good enough gun controls and a decent handling of Deacon's trusty bike.

    The Freaker hordes although not being featured as much as I would have expected are a worthy inclusion and a technical marvel by John Garvin and his team of wonderful designers. I have never felt so tense when having a horde ranging from 150-500 in size all screaming and chasing me, with little ammo and having to use the world around me to pick them off.

    Days Gone makes you creative and get to grips with not just going in guns blazing every encounter, you will want to use stealth to your advantage as well as melee weapons and throwables to help you out when under pressure from enemy attacks.

    You can tell this game was made with passion from everyone involved and I hope the harsh critics reviews do not deter Bend from making more wonderful titles as they can only go up from here. This game is a must buy for any fan of the genre and is worthy of being part of Sony's exclusive collection.    … Expand

    Amazing game, the graphics, story, polish and game play are all up to par for this generation, not sure what the critics are on about but I liked this game way better than Horizon Zero Dawn (which was received better) and just as much as GoW.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is NOWHERE near as bad as these so-called "professional reviewers" are saying.
    IGN actually dropped points because the game has slow-mo shooting. If this was a COD game it'd be praised for "innovation".
    Anyway, this game for me has been a great ride, sure there are bugs, a few fps drops, some pop in and it doesn't innovate the open world formula in any way, but the moment to moment gameplay is fun, the combat is punchy and the story is great.
    There was one moment in the game where you visit your wife's "grave" stone. It does a ton of flashback cutscenes that fade in and out very awkwardly as though there was supposed to be gameplay moments in-between, I think that the opening of the game should have been these cinematics, mixed with gameplay introducing you to stealth when getting behind the man with the gun (who is panicked and thinks you killed HIS wife), moving through the burning streets protecting your wife from rioters and early-freakers. Then transition into the opening bike driving act, then you would have been up to speed with on-foot mechanics simultaneously. while establishing a bigger bond with your wife.
    Also a tiny nitpick. not much of a con at all, doesn't affect the score: But I would have loved if Deacon had like a mixtape playlist that you can listen to while driving around similar to Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy but Rock Biker music from the days before the apocalypse, with great licensed music. Again, no big deal, would've been cool and fitting though haha.
    Great experience all around for me. Don't listen to those big reviewers, form your own opinion.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Made an account specifically to give a short review. I apologize for almost maxing out the characters limit.

    Deecan is just a standard issue gruff n' tuff dude with no discernible qualities besides being "a good guy". Cutscenes are paced weird and throw off the momentum of the story, which itself is barely what I'd call a "story". The biggest gripe I have with this game is how unfitting the gameplay is when it comes to what the game was suppose to be, or at least feel like. A game about surviving a harrowing zombie apocalypse, is immediately thrown off course when the first section of the game is a mediocre vehicle section, followed by a boring Red Dead 2 style "FOLLOW THE LINE, LITTLE BABY BOY". It's also very inconsistent in giving the player information about it's gameplay mechanics. The game will happily tell you how to push the left trigger and then the right trigger as if we have never played a standard shooter game, but when introduced to a low-profile stealth mission where being undetected is key, it doesn't even offer the tip that you can stealth kill freakers just by getting close, which I found out by messing around instead of playing the actual game. Which reminds me; the most fun I had with this game is being heavily non-immersed, watching Deecan jump into a dumpster like he'd jump into his own bed, and throwing rocks at freakers in slow-motion. Other than that, it was a boring, run of the mill mission structure, along with the game telling you shortly in that you have chores to do for some dude. Speaking of, immersion is not even a word I'd use to explain anything in this game. For a game that got the 'Sony Interactive Entertainment' stamp on the back of the box, it really is undeserving of that title when the game constantly reminds me that I'm just playing a video game instead of being apart of the adventure. Applying bandages happens immediately and shows no type of animation from Deecan, like he just shoots jesus juice into himself and keeps walking without any problem. Freakers have the same casual walking animations and it's easily noticed in large groups, on top of those animations being less than 8 seconds long. Zombie screeches come off along the lines of a dog with peanut butter in it's mouth, and nothing that screams 'infected, paranoid, relentless creature'. Deecan CONSTANTLY talking to himself like he's narrating everything he's doing, where it comes off wacky and unintentionally comedic. Cutscenes fading in and out within less than 10 seconds of action, obnoxious user interface constantly telling me that I gained a level or I completed a percentage of 3 different storylines, also not even attempting to explain how skill points work and where to assign them. Technical issues are also abundant, like camera issues when crouching, and seeing assets load in late while walls and ceilings pop into existence as if the game farted in class and tried to cover it up.

    Overall (If you don't care to read through the above review), this game is uninspired and terribly mediocre. There are a few things that I did like about this game, but it was mostly just watching the burning trash fire that this game is. This game is a complete insult to the Sony exclusives before it. I understand that God of War and Spiderman and The Last of Us (which Days Gone should have drastically taken cues from) aren't perfect either and not everyone's cup of tea, but those games clearly have polish and solid gameplay mechanics that are the defining titles of the system, and the reasons to buy a Playstation. For as much PR and marketing as this game got like the previous great exclusives did, it's a shame that it underperformed this badly. I hope that Bend Studios takes this as an experience, and later on delivers a great open-world narrative game. I mean nothing bad by the people who worked hard on this game to put it out to us consumers, but a fair critique is needed when this kinda thing happens. I really hope they learn from this.

    Here's to waiting for The Last of Us 2 and Death Stranding to blow the end of the PS4's generation out of the water and be a great transition to PS5.    … Expand

The writing is pretty bad in general ( A world filled with "freakers" who will be attracted by sound and the main protagonist rides around on a noisy motorcycle, the writers clearly aren't particularly smart) The cutscene Deacon also seems to be completely different from the Gameplay Deacon. His character in the cutscenes comes across as fairly normal and able to converse with the other characters, during gameplay he narrates almost everything he's doing in a way that makes him sound a bit like a mentally disturbed lunatic. There are other issues with this game (same old missions, repetitive gameplay etc) that just make it a bit same old same old and nothing particularly special.

    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

    Don't know what the critics were thinking when they reviewed this game. My only complaint is the wobbliness of the motorcycle. The combat is solid, the stealth isn't annoying and the large world map has lots to offer.

    Great game. Lots of hours of gameplay (I'm 12 hours in and not nearly finished playing) and the map gets bigger the further you get into the main storyline. The zombies keep terifying you and hordes are so, so dangerous. The only thing missing is weapon upgrades and the whole 'trust-level' thing in camps is a bit annoying. Other than that, this game is poorly judged by professional reviewers.

    Absolutely phenomenal, incredible experience, no clue what to say but I'm having the most fun I've had playing a video game in a while, a definite must buy for The Last Of Us fans, it's almost like TLOU but obviously not linear and with a vast open world full of crazy things waiting for you out there to come across and enjoy

    Bend Studio made a great game with a rich, believable and captivating story. They’ve also resisted the lure of trends: there’s no multiplayer, no lootboxes, no “game as a service” plans – just a very solid (and finite) singleplayer experience. That makes it a rare gem these days, maybe one of the last of its kind. [Issue#238, p.42]

    At the beginning of the game you’ll feel like you've already played this game... then it will let you go for a while only to return with reinforcements (and lots of bugs). However, Days Gone has a couple of pleasant moments, that can't be denied. [Issue#295]

    I expect and hope for a sequel. Just know that going into this game that there is a lot of tedious nonsense to pad out a really good game to make it feel more worth every dollar, much to its detriment. I want to give this game a better score because the best moments are so good, but the large portion of this game is so bloody tiring that I just can’t.
