    Pro: - difficulty is fun

    I was fooled by all the positive reviews here, this game is pretty bad. Note: playing at difficulty just one notch over normal. Difficulty level cannot be changed later in the game, so you need to guess in advance what works for you.
    You play as an obnoxious character who despises almost everyone else, and cannot help but scoff, curse or use sarcasm every time someone says anything. Oh,    I was fooled by all the positive reviews here, this game is pretty bad. Note: playing at difficulty just one notch over normal. Difficulty level cannot be changed later in the game, so you need to guess in advance what works for you.
    You play as an obnoxious character who despises almost everyone else, and cannot help but scoff, curse or use sarcasm every time someone says anything. Oh, and he's a disgruntled vet who's seen too much death in his day, talk about cliché.
    Since the world is full of zombies, named freakers, survivors tend to group in relatively safe camps. You reluctantly work for these camps hunting bandits, reducing zombie infestation and the like.
    You move around on a bike whose tank grants about 1 km range (seriously!). Later on, you can upgrade it to make things a little better, but it's the first bad call. You can find fuel in gas stations, fed checkpoints and some other locations, so you need to plan your trips around the ludicrous fuel consumption.
    So, you are happily riding towards your destination when you see a laser zeroing in on you? Too bad, one second later your bike is shot out from under you and you'll need to use 7 scrap units, out of a maximum of 10 you can carry, to fix it. Since scrap can be found randomly in certain vehicles and is also used to craft crossbow bolts and fix your melee weapon, this is another idiotic idea. Essentially: "Too bad, we are randomly taking out almost all of your resources, sucks to be you".
    Then come the weapons. While enemies obviously have infinite ammo, the first rifle I acquired could carry all of 15 shots in reserve. It takes 4 or 5 shots to kill a zombie, so you do the math. You are forced to use headshots; a bullet time ability helps out to an extent, but this is another case of pure genius that completely ruins combat for me. You can get a sniper rifle with 5+1 shots, and again, only a headshot will take out an enemy in one. You expect to find ammo on the bodies of fallen enemies? Think again, not gonna happen unless you are using the exact same weapon as them (at least, I think this is it because I can find pistol ammo but not rifle ammo). Auto rifles make things a lot better. Even though they have the same damage rating as semiautos, they can carry three times as much ammunition or more, which begs the question: why keep semiaoutos in the game at all, then?
    Then it must be difficult to take out a camp full of bloodthirsty, drugged enemies, right? No, it's a piece of cake due to their idiotic behaviour and the absurd stealth mechanics, where magic bushes hide you like the shroud of invisibility, I very rarely die in this situation. Random encounters, on the other hand, are deadly. I was about to kill the last man in an enemy camp when EIGHT wolves came out of nowhere, and this is a very tough situation to survive. Fast melee enemies are infinitely more dangerous than poor shooters in this game, and eight of them? Bad mojo. Same when three super hard, super fast zombie wolves zero in on you, which happens all the time. So, what genius decided that random encounters should be much more of a challenge than all-out assaults?
    Hey, at least you get good loot, right? Nope. Don't expect to get anything when you kill someone. A zombie is worth a bounty of 5 credits, while a mid level weapon will cost at least 2000-something. A human will never yield equipment you can sell, so combat will never repay you of what you spend for ammo. This means you'll never buy ammo, relying instead on rare police cars or ammo canisters to get it free. The "no loot" approach is really bad, it makes any extra fight on the road to a mission an annoyance, rather than any fun.
    Weapon silencers only last for a few shots and you cannot carry replacements (it figures). So, when you open a car and find a rare oil filter, which is what silencers are made of in this game, can you discard a half-used one and get the new one instead? Of course not! You'd need to use it up by firing, therefore wasting precious ammo.
    By the way, you cannot buy good weapons at the beginning. These only become available when a camp trusts you, which takes a lot of missions to accomplish. A zombie yields maybe 3 trust points; to go from lvl 2 to 3, you need 25000, and each camp has its own rating.
    There are stealth sequences in which you must shadow scientists from a fed organization, to listen in on them. Do you remember the universally panned shadowing sequences from the old Assassin's Creed games? Totally unfun, but at least they are generally easy to complete.
    Then there are motorcycle chases, where you need to chase a guy on a nearly indestructible bike, while his minions chase you. Another unremarkable minigame.
    So, the game has a little of Far Cry, a little of [generic stealth game here], some driving action, some poorly implemented crafting, but it does nothing well. It's inferior to other games in every possible aspect, and frustrating for all the wrong reasons.    … Expand

    Even though it wasn't made by Ubisoft, it really feels that way, the same exact map-clearing side quest and cellectables that really feel like they're in the game just to stretch out the play time. Even if you have the patience to power through, the story is just meh.

    Coming to this game from Division 2... so it was quite the difference.
    Worse graphics, worse gameplays and way too many cutscenes. Also a little bit all over the place story-wise.
    The only thing I liked was the stealthiness (not the best, but still great in this game). I'm about 25 hours in and I Can't wait to finish it so I can move on to something else.
    Zero replayability (to me anyways)

The storyline is so lame, characters are not interested at all and don’t have any personality, cutscenes is one of the creepiest part of the game. I never saw it before (well maybe in some 15 and older y.o. games) how the cutscene start in the middle of action, without any transition and in totally different place and then you have a 5 second action time and there’s yet another unnecessary cutscene to say a 1 or 2 non-related to game lines. The world is all the same. You do a repetitive task which is not satisfying at all. You have your strange behaved motorcycle which you can upgrade for no one knows what reason, animations are dumb and the list continues. For me it was a bigger game disappointment for PS4 especially because of all the adds and hype that we’re created around it.… Expand

    It's not.

    Purchased digital on release day, only because someone had a code going for £35 - so I decided to take a punt; else I would have waited. Prior to this purchase, I had loosely followed the release, and watched a few videos; what I saw was a little bit of a let-down, but I held out hope that this would be a decent survival game.

    How wrong I was.

    Firstly, I hate Deacon St John - that might be a tad strong I know, but I don't care whether he lives or dies, whether his wife is alive or dead, or anything he has to say really. He's a completely dislikeable character, soulless in fact, and has a VERY ANNOYING habit of mumbling to himself incessantly!

    So with this dislike of the main character, the game is already off on a back foot for me - but I hold out hope that having a motorcycle to tool around on, might add a bit to the game - erm, it does and doesn't. It's kindof nice having something to get around on quickly, even if it is a Hardley Davidson wannabe bike, but with the fuel economy of a Spitfire, it soon becomes a chore to keep topping it up.

    The 'freakers' (don't call them zombies!!!) are dumb, they often follow a couple of patrol routes, and even on hard, they aren't a challenge in smaller groups - that changes when you have a horde mind you - but even then, it's just a battle of home many resources you have mainly.

    The enemy AI on the other hand - not only are they almost as dumb as the freakers, but they also have x-ray vision, night vision, and assault rifles that are as accurate as a sniper rifle! Unless they have patched this, then they have created some kind of super soldiers, maybe the devs were fans of Universal Soldier or something?

    The game does look pretty though, I'll give it that, and a lot of what you'll be doing is just riding through this lovely looking landscape - conducting rinse and repeat tasks and chores.

    I'm struggling to actually write anything else about this game really - considering it's a flagship title, occupying the same shelf as Uncharted and Last of Us, it is way off the mark in terms of quality and enjoy ability.

    4/10 at best for me - I'd urge people to grab this second hand, or for £15-20.    … Expand

    You have only a handful of things you can craft so exploration has no point. On lower difficulties. I can see how it might be more important on harder difficulties when supplies are scarce.

    I hate the UI. It feels like it's too much to navigate. Especially don't like the ring inventory wheel. It worked in The Last of Us because there weren't so many items but this game has quite a few and it's annoying to get the item you want this way.

    The characters and plot are laughable. The main character you play doesn't appeal to me at all. Somme redneck biker dude with tons of tattoos. Doesn't shoot a woman, but has no problem shooting all the men. He's always talking to himself too. It's annoying. Totally forgettable.

    I'm going to continue playing on easy just for the platinum because this game is slightly entertaining, but very generic. There is a new game plus, so I think I might complete it on easy and then try a harder difficulty with the better gear. Anyway waiting for FF7 to come out so I guess I'll play this turd for now.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, when I played this game it was a bit of a letdown.

    There were several things that I didn't enjoy about this game mainly being: Deacon, the development of characters, and the oh so many glitches.

    In regards to Deacon, I just found that he could be an extremely unlikeable protagonist. I can understand where he is coming from, and why he acts the way he does, but sometimes his decisions just go far past my line of logic. Being that we play as Deacon, he is the one character who we will grow the most attached to, and arguably our protagonist is always the one character we enjoy the most. However, I found myself disagreeing with Deacon in many situations, along with the way he treats other characters. Late in the game, when you have to rescue Manny, who was kidnapped from Copeland's camp, Deacon at first refuses to help Cope out, stating that it's none of his business. He only decides to help once Cope says that Manny has been kidnapped, which sparked another issue. Deacon makes decisions without the input of the player, and there are not many situations in which you can actually decide what Deacon does. One of these decisions is rescuing people from freakers, for example. However, this input from the player directly contrasts Deacon's character as he goes from helping strangers in one moment, to refusing to help in another. The difference is that in one case the player has the choice, and in the other Deacon calls all the shots. This leaves Deacon feeling incomplete, as you can't make Deacon the kind of protagonist you want him to be, which may cause you to dislike him. Finally, he doesn't get much of a character ark. He starts off as a bit of a dick, and even after finding Sarah, he still continues to act like a dick. It's unsatisfying when a character pursues something, and after pursuing that thing and getting it, the character doesn't change, as if they would be fine without them. His pursuit of Sarah also goes to show his odd actions, as one day he goes to burn the church they got married in to forget about Sarah, and the next he is going down into Militia territory hoping she's alive. He can make very rash decisions, which he pays no mind to in the future, which adds on to why I don't like him as my protagonist.

    Next, the character development of the people we meet feels a bit lacklustre. To summarize, it's incredibly obvious that Skizzo will betray you and Colonel Garrett is kindy crazy and will probably be the final enemy. Due to this, I was thinking that it was so obvious that Skizzo would betray us that maybe the Developers would've tried something interesting and made him be a hero, or at least not be as shady as he came off. But nope, they didn't do that, and almost anyone could see his betrayal coming from a mile away, making his betrayal very underwhelming. For the Colonel, it was also obvious that he was crazy, and that we would have to face him at some point. What I didn't consider was that we, in fact, wouldn't face him and that there wouldn't even be a final boss. We killed Skizzo by mashing a button, which was also pretty pathetic, but we don't get any fight against Colonel. This leaves an empty feeling, making you wonder "Is this it?" when you see the Colonel die due to the poison Sarah puts in his tea. A final note would be Iron Mike. He tries to be a pacifist, but we see that that line of thinking doesn't work. It takes him until he is at his death bed to realize that he was wrong, which is an incredibly underwhelming end to an otherwise likeable character. I was expecting him to save Deacon when he fought the Militia by saying "screw it!" to his pacifist ways and having a fistfight with the Colonel. But nope to that as well. Who cares if Deacon can get shot by a sniper rifle several times and still stand, this guy can get shot once and die. However, I will give them points for changing things up. It's been a while since I've played a game that has managed to lower my expectations as I played, and lower them even further due to the lack of action. I was so hyped when I approached the end of the game, thinking "oh man there's going to be an awesome boss fight!". Nope. There, in fact, wasn't a boss fight, like they had done earlier in the game, and instead, everything just ends and that's kind of just it.

    My last note would be glitches. Had glitches been the only issue, this would've gotten an 8 from me. However, when you have a game that is passed off as finished, when there are still many glitches in it, some more obvious than others, you cannot excuse them. Some glitches were fine. Bike clipping into a truck bed? No problem. Doing some weird voodoo magic with throwables causing the game to glitch out? Not fine. It was my first horde in highway 97. I threw a Molotov, some died, I then couldn't fire my gun, and they all diss engaged from me. This left me free to stealth kill 3/4 of a horde because they wouldn't acknowledge me.

    Overall this game was pretty bad.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Days Gone, a game I was very happy to finish. The first 20 hours of this game I was very happy to platinum. The story was good with Deek and Boozer searching the apocalyptic world looking for Sarah. The bike mechanics was very fun and I liked constantly checking for my fuel status which made you think strategically when driving around Oregon. However after 20 hours or so I felt like it got stale. The missions wasn't different and the layout on how the missions work was quite confusing. My biggest issue is Days Gone should have finished 20 hours before it actually did. When O'Brien finally helps you find Sarah you unlock a new part of the map. This bit should have been DLC. At this point you would already be in 30-40+ hours and now you've got another 20 to become apart of this regiment. You can't revisit the rest of the map until you get to the last 4 missions of the game. Once you finally get to the last mission and ready to take on Sargent Garrett (very predictable) and you don't even get to kill him, Sarah poisons his tea, very bad ending. The story is very cheesy and characters like Skizzo, Sarah, Rikki, Mark and even Deacon are very forgettable.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been playing for a couple of days and this game is truly disappointing, I've been wanting to play a game with zombies but for the safety of my wallet and so I don't have regrets, I waited for a sale and damn am I happy I didn't pay full price for this failure, this game should cost at max $20, from terrible gameplay to a decent story it just isn't worth more, first of the story isn't bad it's typical zombie apocalypse and a interesting audio collectible where it says only people with guns managed to survive it's really interesting and realistic, as well as the story about his wife and the ride with his friend to the north it's a nice story but holy is everything else garbage, the awful stealth where they show if someone sees you and if/how much they hear you is a sad attempt at making something interesting and original because while you try your best to hold down you L button and get as silently as possible to your target they get away from you, do a marathon, then 20 more come behind you while you move like snail and if you run just a bit they notice you, the stupid shooting system like Mafia 3 where you either miss everything or randomly headshot unless you stay still and wait in front of them for your aim to get accurate while they shoot you accurately, the almost never working interactions with NPCs and dumb programming where the NPC is just staying on your bike in the middle while they shoot you and then you randomly a talk starts about how she can come out??? From where??? The bike??? LMAO, not only that, glitches the character talks out of the subtitles, talks in Spanish when the game is in English, suddenly yelling in a normal conversation(happens way too often), the game is lagging and I am on a PS4 Pro, glitches where you are holding to pick something or talk to someone and your character just stands there gazing at the void doing nothing for 5 minutes while you rage for WTF is he doing? Boring and repetitive flashbacks oh and if you are a casual gamer like me normal will be too hard even tho the game has 7 difficulties from Easy to Survival II, because anything(basically the 1 type zombie and Rippers the only 2 enemy types) will 2 shot you while you have to hit them 6 times with a pistol to kill them and also you will be running out of fuel every 15 seconds... A small map for modern open world games but still beautiful.Really simple skills system which we seen in every game nothing bad here. And finally why this game gained popularity for its hordes which are completely useless since the zombies run faster than you. Basically Mafia 3 with zombies. I'm missing a lot of stuff I wanted to say because this game has so many problems its hard to memorize them all and I'm sure I will continue to see even more.… Expand

I am not sure who in the world has conversations like the voice actors had to have in this game. It is just terrible. There is pauses in conversations and timed and repetitive stutters that just kill the conversation and make the game less enjoyable. There is also instances where they make weird noises in the middle of a sentence that make no sense! Not only that but some of the dialogue is out of place. One where ricky is holding down boozer to cut off his arm she yells were losing him! When hes obviously screaming and moving around still lol like no we are not losing him. All the other bugs in this game are bearable like wolves racing after you on the bike and then teleport and dismount you. All in all this game has some work to be done to it to make it more immersiv And not feel awkward during conversations… Expand

    - You can carry around a bunch of large items (like bottles), but you can only carry a very limited amount of bullets. It's a way to artificially enhance the difficulty of the game, and it's equally parts stupid and illogical.

    - Getting swarmed by a hundred enemies at once is a bit cool the first time it happens, but after that, it's just irritating. Every time it happens, you're forced into fleeing until you can get out of combat, return to the area and hope you don't get swarmed again. There's no entertainment value in it whatsoever.

    - You have to constantly refuel your motorcycle, because you can only ride it for a very short time before a full tank is emptied. Imagine if you'd have to stop to find gas every five minutes in real life.

    - Looting is slow and tedious, and you have to do it all the time if you want to have any chance of survival. They could've easily made the game autoloot everything, but the developers apparently thought we'd enjoy having to waste like 10% of the total playtime on looting.

    - Having to push R3 over and over and over again to highlight which objects you can interact with. You could technically play the game without this function, but you'd have to either miss out on most of the loot in the game or search every nook and cranny of every area.

    I could list a whole bunch of other gripes, such as the awful protagonist or uninteresting story, but I can't be arsed to get into any more detail, because it'd be just as big a waste of time as playing the actual game.    … Expand

Однако, здравствуйте.

    Обо мне: олдфаг, >30
    Все выше и ниже - субъективно и не претендует на истину в единственной инстанции.

    Люблю игры ( фильмы и сериалы - ходячие, сыны анархии) про зомби и байкеров. Project Zomboid, State of Decay, Dayz, Resident Evil - много часов было проведено в этих и других игрушках, так что Days Gone я ждал и даже был огорчен переносом игры с февраля на апрель. Купил по первой скидке, запустил дважды по полчаса, всё - такой опыт взаимодействия с этой игрой.

    Можно сказать "не вкатило" - бывают же хорошие игры, которые просто не нравятся исключительно по вкусам и предпочтениям. Days Gone - это другое, тут игра очень посредственная. Поехали.

    Главное:
    Герои и их диалоги - будто уровня гта3;
    Окружение - в игре нет "мира" в большом понимании, все мертвое и не живое;
    Механики - когда таким образом взаимодействуешь с предметами и объектами в сингловой игре 2019 года это дно.

    Итого:
    Этой игре место в 2011-2014 году. Может, так и должно было быть, но где то чуть не успели, потом GTA V, Last of Us, Assassins Creed и игра ушла в долгий ящик. Спустя пять лет достали, на спех подтянули графон и кинули этот шлак в релиз. И за full price.

    Замечания:
    Это апокалипсис - нет. Больше апокалипсиса в первой State of Decay. Здесь мир такой же, как в Warz 2011-2012.
    В этой игре есть мотоцикл - нет. Здесь столько же мотоцикла, сколько буханки в метро.

    Мысли:
    Кто то очень умный думает, что взяв проверенные ингредиенты (открытый мир, средство передвижения, зомби, шутер от 3го лица, апокалипсис) и скидав их в блендер можно сделать игру. Только когда ингредиенты стухли, на выходе получится продукт вряд ли пригодный для употребления.

    Благодарность:
    Спасибо тебе что дочитал) Спасибо игрожурам, которые высказали сомнения о качестве игры до релиза.

    Брать или не брать? Либо по скидке (уже было, я брал за 2к, будет еще) - либо диск с рук, либо диск в магазине и через неделю продавать сразу. Сорян - в этой игре ты не зависнешь не то что на пару дней, а даже на пару часов. Вот и думай, брать или не брать.    … 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

    Seriously, empty world, the storyline is too long, no stimuli to play, boring stuff, expected more, add everything with the gay propaganda here, 1 point for weapons, 1 for trying to make an open world, and the last point for at least trying to make a sandbox with zombies, fail of a game, disappointed.

I found myself skipping cut scenes just to spare myself the blistering assault of boredom I felt during most, if not all, of them. The game falls short in so many ways, I feel intimidating in even attempting to list them. For an open world game, I've never felt less rewarded for exploring the land scape; there is quite literally ZERO point in doing so. The repetitiveness of it all too, Jesus Christ! how can anyone like Days Gone, I mean seriously! I dislike this game so much I don't even want to finish reviewing it, let alone play it any more...… Expand

The signs of life that should make for a great experience are all there. But in every shining sunset, detailed human face, and open clearing, I couldn’t find any shred of soul. The game meets the baseline level of quality we might expect from a big-budgeted joint, yet it remains a tiresome, empty experience.… Expand

    Same old zombie story we've seen played out over & over again, broken mechanics, nothing original in the gameplay. This was a "color-by-numbers" zombie game that gets entirely too much praise mostly because many of its players are zombies themselves praising anything that's a playstation exclusive regardless if the game itself is quite generic.

    A total failure and the worst game so far from Playstation Studio. Some even compare this to TLOU2 where it's not even comparable at all.

    The reason this game is a failure is due to bugs and game design which makes me frustrated like, how can a big studio with big budget (Playstation Studio) produce this kind of low quality game? It's not even reach a half-baked cake at all, it's almost raw. Very unpolished like you can see the developer even confused what they are making here by playing the game.

    Let's talk about bugs first. So many texture bug in the game, pop-in object, subtitles stuck and missing out of nowhere, levitating while in jumping action and more minor bugs which questionable like how come that have not been fixed yet until now?

    About the game design, it's the worst for a big studio. More indie developers are even better than this game design. I get it that All Playstation Studios start to create an immersive gameplay by creating an engaging story which include cutscene and that's work but not for Bend Studio. The most ugly design is the transition between cutscene and back into action. Yes, Ghost of Tsushima also did it this way for their cutscene but in GoT is way more make sense because they never insert cutscene between action or combat so you won't get interrupted + the transition is fast. In Days Gone, they force you into cutscene while you are in combat and after you out from the cutscene, you are in the middle of the zombies + the transition or the loading is way too long which kill the tension and the experience of the game. Cutscene is the biggest flaw in this game. Learn from your brother, Naughty Dog, they are the best at creating a flawless transition for cutscene, no black screen needed.

    The nest seems buggy but I do think that it's not a bug rather than a game design from Bend Studio because it's consistently happened that way for every nest in the game. When you burn the nest, the zombies will just pop in or blink, there's no animation for them to get out from the nest once you burn it.

    Last, the story. This might be because of my personal preference as I'm getting tired of every game developer creating a post apocalyptic game and it always resulting in making zombies game. Days gone is one of the worst in their storyline. It seems the game is cutting a lot of context in the game like they want to simplifying it but it turns to be janky. No clear context, background and characters building is just nowhere to be found. I'm sorry but poor performance from Voice Actor as well.

    Drop the game after only 4 hours of playing. I'm glad that I never consider to buy this game. It's playable and the shooting + melee combat works fine but the cutscene design and the story just kill this game for me. No wonder Sony reject an upcoming project that almost becoming Days Gone 2.

I know personally someone who was hit with a .308 sniper rifle round on his left shoulder and it ripped his entire arm off. Even if these Rippers are on PCP I still don't understand how any human can take 8 high powered rifle rounds to the head and body and still live. So they force you to be realistic while being unrealistic themselves. I understand about the concept of "bosses" in games however don't force us to be realistic then make the bosses so wildly unrealistic and highly inhumanly strong and deadly.

    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.
