    Um jogo injustiçado por muitos que não sabem apreciar um jogo de mundo aberto com uma ótima historia, apesar dos bugs no seu lançamento hoje sua versão definitiva no PS5 realmente trás os 100% esperado, agora e saber se vamos ter um Days Gone 2 e ver o final da historia.

    Ordinary forest, ordinary zombies, ordinary quests, ordinary people. Gasoline hassle. The most boring game ever.
    Both crooked and lame. Especially the junction of gameplay and cut scenes, the moments of docking are very crooked.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had I stopped playing after the first 10 hours of this game, I might have given it an 8 because I enjoy open-world games with resource finding and conservation elements. I liked my lookout tower with its gorgeous views and scattered resources. Resources that I was determined to save for emergencies. The protagonist was boring and dreary, but I'm used to that from these kinds of games. I've come to expect to be playing as a person who is a child's idea of a tough guy.

    Things started to go a little sideways for me when I tried to gather up gun to take them back to my camp. In a real zombie situation I'm not leaving a precious thing like guns behind, I'm taking everything I can carry. Even if it's just for ammo/parts/scrap metal. The character has the ability to slow down time, but apparently he doesn't have a duffel bag. I tried to see if there was a way to strap a gas can to my bike too, but that would make too much sense. Not to worry, there is plenty of gas around the map. It's a missed opportunity to create tension in the game knowing you'll never truly be out of gas.

    I tried to take found motorcycles back to the camps too. That was a useless endeavor, I couldn't even get parts of the bikes for my own. You end up sourcing the same resources over and over again; nothing is really scarce, just spread out. If you scavenge an area, leave and come back, all the resources will have respawned. Like the gas, there's no concern about scarcity. Throw all the molotovs you want, you're surrounded by everything you need to make more. The frustration comes from the tedium of having to ride around to collect more.

    At times I wondered if the point of this game was zombies or riding the motorcycle. Both were time consuming and simplistic.

    The story was predictable, unoriginal, and uninspired. It was more suited for a C-level action film than a PS exclusive. I understand that Sony's goals now are to release games that could be movies. I imagine DG is going to be a good movie thanks to the setting, the zombies, and maybe even revamped characters, but the story will still be boring.

    Back to the time I spent playing this game - which ended up being 60 over almost 11 months (that's how repetitive this game is, I took long breaks and it still felt like a chore). After 10 hours I realized that everything I was doing/hearing/seeing was all there was ever going to be. That if I wanted to upgrade my weapons and bike, I was going to have to keep repeating the same tasks over and over. To be clear, the tasks were different as far as the game is concerned but it might as well been copy and pasted objectives. Someone who doesn't know how to take care of themselves left the camp and got kidnapped for the 10th time, I'll go save them. I stumbled upon an ambush camp, oh no, I guess I'll take all these guys out like I did at the other 39 ambush camps I had to deal with before. Ride all the way across the map to talk to a rock or pick flowers, sure. Sneak around. Changes were as basic as this NERO site needs gas AND a fuse now. Wild. And the guy at the marauder camp has a flame thrower, but don't worry because the AI is so dumb they won't actually do anything like flank you or even advance towards you. Sometimes they'll even leave cover to run halfway to a different spot, stop in the open, then turn around and run back to their original cover.

    I learned pretty quickly which cars and buildings were going to have which resources; eliminating the need for me to actually search for things. For all the time they spent making scaled down Oregon look pretty, they didn't put much effort into the variety of the objects within the world. Bless Deacon for prying open the hatch on the SUV to get to the trunk instead of just reaching in through the broken window. The boy's not the brightest bulb, folks.

    I think I've covered everything: boring, uninspired, repetitive. Even fighting the hordes gets to be monotonous: set traps, run, turn shoot, run, rinse, repeat, until they're all dead. And it's likely you'll accidentally find a glitch spot when you're fighting the hordes where they can't reach you; the map probably has more of these spots than they do hordes.

    The final fight would have been the biggest let down had the game not been such a disappointment to that point. By then I wasn't expecting anything unique or exciting. Just more of the same.

    But there was one last thing that upset me. The whole game Deacon can't swim, he drowns within seconds. Last big fight of the game, the bridge is blown up and Deacon has to swim a decent distance. If Deacon is so terrified of water why was the plan to blow up the bridge first? To have one corny moment of character development? It's too little too late.

    If you absolutely have to buy the game wait until it's on sale at least. It's four years old now and wasn't worth $50 when it was new.    … Expand

    All these positive reviews are fake, the developer must've paid tons of money for positive reviews. This game is pure **** nothing good about it. Sony even gave it for free on PS plus and cancelled its sequel because its just a bad game, empty experience, and a waste of time

    Mediocre game. The story is poorly written as the focus of the devs was probably more on politics than on making a fun game.

Devs didn't use the brain much i guess?)
    The weapons tho are very bizarre, you'll find ww2 smgs performing better than modern assault rifles. They inculed a Glock 34 ONLY in the shop's table, BUT YOU CAN'T BUY IT.. Why tease the player with guns that appear in the shop yet can't be bought? Was it that complicated to add that pistol to the game? The protagonist also is very annoying as he speaks every 2 seconds with a weird voice( as if he's super anxious or drunk) But yeah, slaughtering hordes of zombies is fun tho.    … Expand

    The game was just a terrible unimaginative rehash of other survival games. Lots of frustrating bugs, repetitive game play, uninteresting characters and storyline. I think the game needed at least another year of work before it was released.

    Jogo repetitivo e com história para crianças mal educadas. Seria melhor ler um livro ou fazer qualquer outra coisa ao invés de perder tempo com isso. Pouquíssimos jogos conseguiram a proeza de fazer com que eu desistisse no meio. Tristeza.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 smashed into Last of Us 2 = Days Gone.

    This game is pretty epic. Open world minus the grind. Love it.

    Hope the shooting mechanics were a little better tho. But they are exactly like RDR2 and LOU2

    The horde mechanics are amazing. I can't think of another game like this that's able to render so many enemies on screen at once at this level of fidelity. It makes for some really incredible fights. The story is also surprisingly compelling with a great and well acted/animated case.

    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    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. Perfect Decision Sony!    … Expand

    Days gone is one of the most disappointing experiences with a video game. The only reason I give 2 stars is for the two good scenes throughout the game: taking boozer to lost lake and the resolution to the Ripper arc. Other than that the game is filled with tedious, unmemorable, repeating missions that make the story feel distant from what is actually being played.

It feels like the developers decided that longer games are better so they send you on back to back to back to back fetch quests where you fight freakers, get a different flavor of boss (big guys, bear, crows), wash rinse and repeat. If this game had half the missions but they decided to only include the ones that progress the story, it'd be a good game. I don't personally care about graphics so I can't in good conscience let that increase the score. I don't care about bugs either though; most of them were pretty enjoyable. I'm not going to recommend this game to anyone, but I'm going to brag about how I finished this 30+ hour slog of a main story.… Expand

    Este es el peor juego al que nunca jugué,está roto y los fps bajan continuamente, además es muy aburrido y muy repetitivo. Bend studios debería rescatar sus sagas antiguas y dejar este tipo de juegos que quieren parecerse a the last of US y a Uncharted y no consigue nada de eso ni por asomo. Yo ya lo puse a la venta, espero no perderle mucho dinero.

    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.
