    Days Gone a.k.a. Days of Riding, is an open world zombie game. It gives you a loading screen for pretty much everything, and they take minutes each time. F*cking ridiculous. Also it lets you drive around constantly, which is very annoying.

    Story: You play as Deacon, the most politically correct Biker to live in the US. After landing a hot blonde girlfriend, the Freaker Apocalypse    Days Gone a.k.a. Days of Riding, is an open world zombie game. It gives you a loading screen for pretty much everything, and they take minutes each time. F*cking ridiculous. Also it lets you drive around constantly, which is very annoying.

    Story:
    You play as Deacon, the most politically correct Biker to live in the US. After landing a hot blonde girlfriend, the Freaker Apocalypse breaks loose and he loses her... Or does he?

    Days Gone's story is like watching a robot that has holes in it. You are interested in the plot of the hot blonde and the Freakers, but it also very blatantly shows you what the game is behind the curtain. It's a crappy bike simulator, with 80% of your playtime consisting of driving from A to B. At some point even the plot around the Freakers couldn't interest me anymore, as it drags on into pointless filler. The story would have been better if this was a lineair level based game without the filler open world.

    Gameplay:
    The game definitely tries to make the gameplay closer to realism with smooth animations, aiming and THE MOST BROKEN BIKE EVER. It does 1 meter to the gallon, and it breaks easier than a brittle bone. What's the point of realism in a video game if it doesn't make the game more fun or entertaining? The bike is a choir to maintain, and aiming is good enough but feels clumsy. As you increase your reputation, you unlock more guns in camps. The guns that you unlock later on feel a lot better than the starter ones, but it is a choir to do all the missions required before you are at the necessary level.

    What is extremely annoying is when you are forced to walk slowly, can't grab your weapons and the game restricts your actions. I hated this in Red Dead redemption 2, and i especially hate it here when there are Newts begging to be shot!

    Graphics:
    The visuals of Days Gone are stunning. The cinematics, facial animations and character models look astonishingly good. When it comes to graphics, realism is good. And Days Gone has impressive graphics that look very real. However, outside the cinematics the games graphics become mediocre at times. Especially character models.

    Game loop:
    The first 10 hours of Days Gone are quite entertaining! While everything is new it will keep you interested. However, as missions are all based around the same structure (even the main plot missions) it becomes repetitive and tedious. There are also restrictions on what you can do, which just leads to more frustration. The bike is a poor design decision that seems to be more of a contrived feature than something to entertain the player.

    I felt for a while that Days Gone was an misunderstood gem, but as the game dragged on and forced me to do the same things over and over without giving some epic moments (with the Freakers) it disappointed me more and more. It's not a bad game at all, but it will not be memorable either. It's an average game, i give it a 6/10.    … Expand

    Good game, but nothing special. Liked the world, some characters, bike driving is the best. But the gameplay itself is repetitive and boring time to time. And plot from dark and mature transformed to Disney/Hollywood standard plot.

This is also the first time I've seen loading screens from a cutscenes to cutscenes, sometimes 4 in a row.

    Even if the game didn't have horrible performance issues it would still be mediocre at best. It has terrible shooting, weak stealth, and as basic melee combat as is possible. You can make those complaints about other games like the last of us (1) but they have characters and story to pick up the slack. This game's characters are unbearable and it's story is predictable but told at a snail's pace.

    I have disdain for this game. The first 12 hours are a complete slog. It's a very low quality game compared to PlayStation's typically fantastic exclusives. Its current user score is just denial by a group of people who disliked video reviews of the game before it even game out. This game is a 7 at best.

    Bad graphics, terrible optimization. Boring story, after the middle of the game I think when this is all over. Bad physics and character animation. Zombies are stupid, a lot of restrictions, does not give a flight of fancy. The only thing that amuses is to kill a crowd of zombies, but it gets boring after 30 minutes. Passed the main story, deleted the game.

    Pese a las claras limitaciones de Days Gone, el juego logra ofrecer una experiencia completa y satisfactoria. No estamos ante una obra rompedora ni mucho menos, pero tampoco se le puede calificar de fracaso.

    Con experiencia suficiente y apoyo el estudio podrá lograr mayores resultados en sus próximos proyectos.

    There were lots of bugs/glitches but with the recent updates they less fustrating.

    Another issue is the upgrades don't really get interesting until over halfway into the game, and by the end they come thick and fast - which is too late.

    Graphics are good, the shooting is fun and headshots are satisfying. The motorcycle riding is pretty realistic, and the engines sound great. It's the overall pretentiousness, bugs and glitches and lack of engaging plot which let the game down.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Compared to other games from Sony, Days Gone felt like a let down. Sure the world feels big but its also very empty. Many of the characters are just not likable, make poor choices and lack backstory overal. For example the person "Jack" is apparantly an very important character for Deacon, however we never see him at all in the entire story. Where do the rippers come from? Why are they cutting themselfs? How did the virus spread so far so fast? Why didn't the govermant do anything? I mean if deacon can kill 300 zombies on his bike, shouldnt a tank be able to do alot more? Nothing makes sense. The main bad guy never tells his reasons for trying to murder other camps.

    The only thing that I do like in the game is the one horde battle which is shown in the trailer. However the ps4 has a lot of trouble to proces all that action, which causes the horde to stop moving at all. Overal I am disapointed with what I got.    … Expand

    I don't understand all of the high user scores for this game. While this is not a bad game it isn't a good game either. There are numerous technical issues such as the motorcycle driving straight through road instead of on it. The fighting is nothing special. Most of the guns are useless, or just unnecessary. Aiming is worthless until you get a through upgrades. Taking cover is also made into a difficult process. My least favorite thing about this game is how the money is split between camps. If you don't have money in the area with the motorcycle shop or the gunsmith it becomes almost useless, I found myself fast traveling to unnecessary places just so I could by ammo or fill up my bike. The story is all right, but is ruined by the most cliched **** ever in Skizzo who should really just be named "Sketch". All the other characters are either complete ****s, really stupid, or a combination of both. Hordes are the bright spot of this game, but even that is greatly diminished with a tiny stamina bar, and in inability to get far enough away from hordes to hit them with a molotov without lighting yourself on fire. Then there is all the collecting of items just to make items like pipe bombs and super Molotovs can be a pain in the ass. You cannot buy crafting ingredients, and you can't hold much until later upgrades. The bike has an incredibly small gas tank, especially at the beginning you will be spending all your money on gas. Motorcycle fights are very boring and kinda annoying. There is an entire quest line dedicated to listening to N.E.R.O officers while hiding in bushes. Never get to far from your bike by the way, because it is your fast travel. You need to constantly hop back on your bike to make sure you don't wander to far away from it.

    In conclusion, I am not a hater like some of you people giving 10/10 are saying. I went into this game knowing nothing about it, and hoping for a good time. By the time I finished I was incredibly frustrated with the game, and especially the stupid ending. Nothing special ever happens in this game. The hordes are the brunt of the zombies, most enemies are just other bikers. Poor shooting ,and melee weapons break very quickly. Everyone drives a bike literally everyone and they also all have a biking background somehow. I mean I guess bikers are better equipped to handle zombie apocalypse aka Daryl Dixon. This is not a 10/10 game anybody who says so must have a bias, because the bugs alone should be enough to not down at least to a 9. I my opinion this is a mediocre game that is not worth a 60 plus dollar purchase. If you want to play it wait for a sale at least, because really this game is incredibly mediocre    … Expand

Then it started to creep up on me, this impending feeling that they were all valid and 100% true. About 20 hours into the game I realized it was a content treadmill packed with a few of the less stellar seasons of The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy. Ammo and supplies are very plentiful, hordes and encampments quickly become manageable, and zombie killing becomes repetitive and tedious. The only real danger ever presented to the player in the game is running out of gas, both in your bike and your will to continue because you are mildly interested in the story.

    I didn't finish the game, and i don't think I ever will. I'll probably look up a story summary on youtube though because I'm invested in Deacon St. John and some of the other mildly interesting characters scattered through the game. It's just not worth doing the same 4 activities over and over and over to find out what happens.

The main problem is the lack of spontaneity and imagination in the game's design. This open world that you can't fully travel until after the ending; there are a ton of loading screens, invisible walls and artificial walls that stop you from being creative when tackling mission objectives and, above all, it lacks variety in terms of random events, it recycles assets to a fault and the missions are textbook fetch quests. Deacon's abilities lack imagination and there's simply not enough variety in terms of weapons (not that you need it, because of the very simplistic nature of the missions, but anyway). The motorcycle gets much of the attention but not even Deacon cares about cosmetic customization and there's obviously no attachment with the motorcycle. You always face the same ambushes, rescue the same NPC, loot the same trunk; it gets boring. The horde, on the other hand, is great, but it really gets attention after hour 25. And then come the technical problems. Maybe a few of these are solved by the time you read this, but back when I played, framerate was really bad and it was buggy as hell, sometimes the minimap doesn't show the way, some graphic signs won't disappear; voices tend to desynchronize; I had a motorcycle chase that bugged out and the guys I was chasing were stuck; and so on. A.I. is nothing to write home about with the classic embarrassments and the plot... well it is far from being The Last of Us. All in all, it is certainly not a bad game, but it isn't outstanding by any stretch of the imagination.… Expand

The physics weren't terrible when you can drift corners just by hitting a button, but the motorcycle itself is slow, with engine revs not matching it's speed so it hardly feels realistic at all.

Days Gone is fine, it's quite good at times, but you have already played this game 4 or 5 times, possibly in the 4 months of 2019. The disappointment is the hugely polished games Sony has pushed out prior to this, poor Days Gone has unattainable levels to match.

    The world is annoying to traverse and is empty.
    The characters leave no lasting impression.

    Days Gone is a game that has been long waited for first party PlayStation enthusiast, the game unfortunately falls short on what could have been promising adventure and here is why.

    Days gone starts with a pandemic infection wiping out humanity and we skip right to a few years down the road from the start of the infection. You play as a bland one-dimensional character Deacon St John a bounty hunter who stayed in the Oregon region to find answers about his past. The game starts off like a Mad Max Situation, your bike is taken and stripped for parts, so your objective is to build your bike from scratch and make it the best bike in all the land. I progressed through the game at quite a slow pace and upgrading my bike seem to be more of a chore then an enjoyment, I feel this way because it seem to take a long time to build the trust up in the camps to get the parts I needed or wanted in this case. While I was not building up my bike, I was out performing what seem to be very mindless tasks and exploring the very bland world of Days Gone.

    While its not all bad there is a lot of fun to be had when it comes to Days Gone, infiltrating drifter camps and taken them down silently with my boot knife never got old or tiring. The gun gameplay is unique on its own but can be a bit aggravating when it comes to unlocking them, just like the bike parts you must have a certain trust levels unlocked. Like The Last Of Us the melee combat is unique and very satisfying from crafting to brutal take downs with a piece of two by four with a saw blade in it; another thing that is like the last of us is the crafting system of collecting resources to craft things like Molotov cocktails and med kits.
    The story in days gone is certainly a unique one, there is not really a certain one main story the closest thing that comes to it is trying to find out what happens to Deacons wife as you re live the past with their relationship and the events that transpired in it. But there are many story lines in the game, none that are very captivating, and it seems to take so long to complete these story lines an unnecessary amount of time. In Reality while playing this game I felt like I was going from one mind numbing mission to the other because I felt like I was doing the same thing over and over; not to say they were not fun but the fun came in spurts, the game feels longer then it should have been.
    While you are not cruising around on your bike or going from mission to mission you are fighting off hordes off freaker’s. When fighting off the hordes having focus shot is a must and having a automatic rifle, extended clip and Molotov cocktails are vitals when it comes to focusing on this task and is a lot of fun.
    Days Gone suffers from performance issues, the open world is very bland it would have done better as a linear game, and falls short when it comes to the fun factor. What could have been a great game seems like it tried too hard.

    So im 25+ hours into the game and so far it is really fun when everything works but i've had some bugs in this game for example i played a mission where i was supposed to follow some guy and he just fell into the ground and i had to restart the mission which was really annoying. I also had some other bugs but aside from that this game can be really fun. Another bug i found was that a guy called me the same time the radio was on so i had two people talking at the same time which was annoying.

    The combat in this game is not brilliant. I don't feel like i have to buy any other guns and the ones i've used feels pretty much the same. The combat also feels a bit clunky with the third person camera but overall the combat is just okay to mediocre.

    Some things i liked about Days Gone were the trust system where you had to gain trust to be able to buy the higher tier guns and bike upgrades which is good so you have something to work for and the upgrades to the bike feels rewarding aswell and it makes you want to have a faster and quieter bike. The driving in this game is really fun aswell and it gets even better when you upgrade it. It also didn't get boring for me to drive the bike to all the different locations and i've almost never used fast travel which is a good thing. You also have to take care about your bike because it can break and run out of fuel. If it breaks you need to find scrap from broken cars or you can just find them out while looting and if your fuel runs out you need to find a gas at a gas station or just a can laying somewhere. This part of the game is good and later on you can also upgrade your bike to resist more damage and have a bigger tank.

    The sound of the bike is really good and also is the overall graphics in the game and the overall sound of the game is ok.

    This game also has a perk system where you can choose which type you want to upgrade. There are three types of perks: Melee, Ranged and Survival. I personally found the ranged category the most useful because it made my guns better and more fun to use. Melee is also good. Have not upgraded too much on survival yet but im definetly going to.

    The main storyline at the beginning is to find Deacon's lost wife even though he didn't even knew she was alive. The story itself is pretty good with it's good and bad parts. There is also different storylines so it's not the same the whole time and if you complete a storyline you get some pretty cool awards. My favorite one is the "I Remember" one where you find out about Deacons past in flashbacks which was really cool to see how he acted and how the world looked before the apocalypse. Some storylines is not that good though. I have to help people i don't feel anything and most characters you meet are not memorable which is a big issue in this game.

    So briefly said, the game is fun to play and the best part of this game is the driving and the trust/upgrade system in the game. Story okay and combat mediocre but overall the game is still fun and it is very satisfying just killing freakers with melee attacks. Definetly worth checking out but if your not sure if your going to like it or not you should probably wait for a sale.

    Story - 6.5/10
    Combat - 5/10
    Gameplay - 7/10
    Sound - 7/10
    Graphics 8.5/10
    Fun 8/10
    Upgrading/Trust system 8.5/10

    So after that i give this game 7/10. Definetly not the best game on the ps4 but definetly not the worst. 7/10 is not bad. People just think that because its yellow it's not good but 7/10 for me is a good game.
    Overall fun game and is worth checking out!    … Expand

    I really looked forward to this game. While it isn't a full disappointment, it isn't the amazing game I thought it would be.

Something about how it is structured or even edited makes the story feel disjointed. I never found myself attached to the characters or even caring what happens next.

    As far as gameplay, There's a mass open world with various missions, but it all gets repetitive fast. No need to worry about playing on the hardest difficulty, as that setting is pretty easy. On a technical side - the load times are AWFUL. Maybe it's due to all the zombie herds (which there honestly aren't that many of). Still - it's unacceptable especially when other games that are technically superior (better graphics, etc.) don't have this issue.    … Expand

Speaking of music, what is with the weird Creed/Staind songs that plays driving in the sunset scene? Ughhhhhh.

    Even though this game is a solid 7 due to the severe annoyances, I really couldn't put it down. I really loved upgrading the motorcycle and trying to land huge jumps. I absolutely loved defeating the Sawmill Horde, this was one of the most satisfying things I have ever done in gaming.

    Perhaps if this game didn't have all those boring as watching paint dry flashbacks, meaningless characters (Boozeman? Seriously? He doesn't even need to be in the game), and derivative dialogue; I wouldn't recommend it to someone and say, "good game but kind of stupid."

    Although the more I think about it, I firmly believe that SIE Bend put all of this basic crap in this game as a bizarre marketing stunt. I believe they set out to make a game for basic dudes, just like all that other Madden or EA garbage. And I also hope that Days Gone actually did perform badly so dumb suits don't pull off more stupid marketing stunts like this ever again. This game could have been so great, SO GREAT, if it didn't have all of this basic plot points and issues with "feelings."    … Expand

    Days Gone's amazing game. I confess that I wasnt on hype train on the first trailers (a one more zumbi game I thinked) but the game do all that he promised. Its a fun game as well. In fact, the game has bugs and doesnt a too much polish likewise RDR 2 and GTA is but the bend studios do the right job.

    I guess that's amazing game (sometimes can be boring) but's great after all.

Where I think a game like The Last of Us succeeds is that it uses set pieces and has climatic moments never feeling like a slog. Unfortunately for Days Gone that is what this game felt like. I think a lot of this game could've been cut out for time and if they did it'd been a tighter better experience. Another issue I had was the motorcycle stuff. The gas management was only tedious I never felt like I was going to run out nor that it was the end if I did. Gas is so plentiful that I didn't see the point in making me stop after every mission just to fill up. This is not a bad game by any sense. I honestly get if someone tells me that they love it. It just wasn't for me. I give it a nice BARGAIN BIN… Expand

    I'm of two minds on this game. On one hand, Deacon, Boozer, Sarah, and a few of the more prominent characters were superbly acted and written- but the other minor characters were easily forgotten and paper-thin. NPCs in other series (Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, etc) have done better at putting personalities into their minor characters.

    Likewise, the story wasn't as coherent or linear as I would have liked. It got to be where I really only paid enough attention to see what would happen to Deacon, Boozer, and Sarah- not necessarily anything else that was going on, because a lot of it isn't super relevant to the plot.

    The gameplay was pretty fun- fighting hordes is a hell of a challenge and I enjoyed that immensely. The game makes ammo and such available but not SUPER available, so it's not too easy.

    By far, my major complaint about this game was the glitching. Dear God, the glitching. I pre-ordered this, so this was a day-one copy. And I swear I have NEVER played a game first-day that was as horrendously glitchy as this game. A lot of freezing, a lot of game-crashes, and a lot of instances where during cutscenes certain things would go blurry (Deacon and Boozer's tattoos, for instance, would get incredibly blurry where before they'd been clear and detailed; this was jarring because the games graphics were beautiful most of the time).

    Not a bad game, and I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel I assume is coming, but they REALLY need to make sure the game copies they're sending out are cleaner than this one.    … Expand

    Straight up as possible. I have really enjoyed the game. It is a bit repetitious in its side missions but I still find myself enjoying them. Main story is solid. The graphics are great, gameplay is solid. The big negative is that the game is large but the space it creates is not really filled up with gripping experience as much as I would like.

    Essentially the game boils down to guy on bike that needs constant fixing and care. I'm a fan of general slow progressing in games but I don't like it forced upon me in this way. It's like if someone thought adding TLOU into a massive open world with gameplay hinderances was actually a good idea.

    I understand where people would like the game, some people can forgive being trapped and forced to play in certain ways however personally I prefer freedom and find very little quality in stuff like breakable weapons, breakable vehicles and being forced to do things the game wants to get anywhere. I mean sure you need to draw a line where you have to follow the rules to some point but Days Gone ultimately is an everlasting set of rules to follow with almost no freedom at all, if you want your freedom you'll never progress in this game.

    The perfect example of a game that "is good, not great". The way I see it, the biggest issue with Days Gone is the weight of being a "PS4 exclusive", which immediately puts it in comparison with masterpieces like God of War, Horizon New Dawn, Last of Us and Uncharted. Days Gone is not even close of being as good as those games. And that is fine.

    It is a typical, repetitive, open world game with a main quest, side stories, upgrades and leveling up. If this was not a PS4 exclusive I'm pretty sure most of the reviews would describe it as a very decent zombie game.

    There are some flaws and the occasional glitch; but it gets the job done. The story is mostly interesting -so are the characters and the world they live in- killing zombies is fun, driving in a motorcycle and worrying about damage and fuel gives a post-apocalyptic vibe to exploring the map and the AI -which can be stupid- still offer some challenges (the hordes can be extremely difficult to deal with, especially early on).

    Let's move on and give Days Gone some space to breathe. Like I said, the game is good, not great. And there is no problem with that.    … Expand

They are games you play through once and never touch them again, which for me is not a mark of a good game. Bend Studios i thought was going to take the formula and do something more, a post-apocalyptic game that will feel like a ND game but will have gameplay and survival systems that will keep me engaged like State of Decay but nope, its a game that would much rather be a movie. I'm getting sick of games putting gameplay on the back-burner and rather focus on Cutscenes and graphics. The game looks good for trailers i give them that but the game play feels so unpolished, melee attacks dont feel good, firing a gun doesn't feel good, hit boxes feel random as hell sometimes. The tagline for the game is the world comes for you but most of the time im looking for freakers to chase me because the world feels big and empty. Sure you get an occasional wolf attack and or humans attackers but they seem so infrequent. With a tagline like that I wanted to feel like i was in danger at every corner. Collecting resources in a open world survival game is always fun for me but its not fun here, all you can collect is items to make weapons. Where is the base maintenance and management? base upgrade systems? Collecting stuff in an open world gives people a good chance to take their time and really appreciate the details in the world you created, but when you are just maxed out on everything after an hour then whats the point., just drive to the next objective i guess so you can use up your meds and Molotov's. Where is the decaying gunss, where is the customization. Half the budget went to the cutscenes so the gameplay and systems are barebones.

The upgraded bike is great, and I'll go even as far as to say the gunplay isn't that bad either (both need to be upgraded, however). I will also say what a shame a studio that hasn't put out a game in 5+ years decided to put in so much time and resources into a game that checks all the boxes in an open ubisoft open-world game. I honestly don't know where bend goes from here, the only potential this franchise has is to perfect performance ( both bugs and frame rate). It's an new ip, but it sure as hell doesn't feel like one. Basic review:
    Pros: Ton of content (although in a ubisoft-esque way), interesting characters, upgraded bike, hordes.
    So-So: Nero checkpoints and ambush camps are generic but rewarding enough, story ranges from intriguing to not going anywhere. Gun play and general game play (think far cry with zombies)
    Cons: uninspired/unoriginal title, nauseating frame-rate drops, unpolished game (bugs and glitches), one of the most bland open world I've played in a long time. The side missions are rinse and repeat literally EVERYTIME.
    Bottom line, this game was a roller coaster for me, I wanted to quit because of the frame rate, but then the story gets interesting.. the gameplay loop has me bored, but then the horde shows up and i get hooked back in...etc etc. Try that for 30 hours.

    A Inteligência artificial é muito ruim e isso atrapalha o jogo de diversas maneiras, principalmente quando estivermos falando do combate, das seções de furtividade e muito constantemente na quebra da imersão.

    O sistema de progressão (passar de níveis) e a mecânica de sobrevivência não funcionam por serem implementadas de forma leviana. Você não tem consequências por usar os recursos em momentos errados pois eles são muito abundantes em todos os cantos do game, no final ele só serve para dar a falsa impressão que você está criando bombas e bandagens. Já a falsa progressão de RPG não combina com o jogo e é extremamente genérica e sem criatividade, você ganha habilidades que já poderiam fazer parte do jogo porque literalmente não fazem diferença nenhuma se não existissem, o jogo não seria mais fácil ou mais difícil por conta dessa habilidades.

    O audiovisual do jogo seria muito competente se não fossem as constantes falhas técnicas que também contribuem para foder a experiência de jogo e a imersão. São bugs, glitches e quedas constantes na taxa de quadros. Além disso temos uma trilha sonora completamente esquecível aliada a um excelente design de som que sofre muito com glitchs e problema de sincronização, inclusive de falar em cutcenes.

    Outro ponto que enfraquece ainda mais a experiência de Days Gone é a falta de criativade com o universo e o design do mundo do jogo. O mundo aberto é sem graça e cheio de atividades repetitivas. Faltou bastante esmero nesse ponto.

    Days Gone não é um jogo ruim, mas também não é um jogo bom e essa nota 7 está de acordo com o que o game entrega. O jogo é decepcionante e não tem a qualidade que se espera de um AAA da Sony.    … Expand

    Days Gone is a decent game but it is not the greatest game you'll ever play. Does it do anything new that others games haven't done? Well, no and yes. It is your generic open world third person survival action shooter/survival game with a decent narrative. The unique thing about this game are the hordes of zombies that you have to fight. While they are a welcome addition, it all boils downDays Gone is a decent game but it is not the greatest game you'll ever play. Does it do anything new that others games haven't done? Well, no and yes. It is your generic open world third person survival action shooter/survival game with a decent narrative. The unique thing about this game are the hordes of zombies that you have to fight. While they are a welcome addition, it all boils down to manipulating the AI of the zombies - they aren't very intelligent (but what can you expect from zombies?). You basically keep running until they decide to turn back to return to their original position at which point they are vulnerable and you can shoot them. The biggest problem that the game has isn't the game, its that the game doesn't run as good. I played it on a base PS4 and the game lags extremely while riding a bike or facing a large horde.

    Now that I have given a short opinion about the game, we'll discuss it in detail. The review will be divided into four sections: the game play, the story, the sound design and the graphical fidelity (plus performance) of the game.

    The Gameplay: Days Gone has great fundamental mechanics. It has good melee combat. The motorcycle has good controls. The stealth is passable. The survival elements add a bit more to the game but never felt too tedious. The gun play is a bit lacking because of the recoil but it gets much better the more you upgrade it. Speaking of upgrades, there is a decent progression system with actually useful skills that you can unlock - seeing enemy through walls, making less sound, carrying more items, etc. The radial menu is good but sometimes i had to finagle my way through crafting some gear. For comparison to other games, the game controls better than The Witcher 3 (TW3) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) BUT not as good as Spider-Man or Metal Gear Solid V. As good as it controls though, the mission structure is basically the same - you keep clearing out zombie nests and bandit camps while progressing the story. The story missions, however, do have some better quality and variety to them. Overall, the game play is fun but repetitive.

    The Story: I won't spoil any major parts of the story but I'll give you a feel of how it plays out. The world is divided into regions and you do runs for camps for credits and trust. The more the trust you have with a camp, the better they treat you and allow you to get better gear for yourself and your bike. You want to ride North to leave everything behind and you need better gear - thus Deacon's story begins. Deacon is an interesting character to play as - he's no Geralt from TW3 or Arthur from RDR2 nor does he possess the range of these characters but his motivations keep the interesting to see it all pan out. There are no choices that you can make which heavily impact the story. There is a side narrative of how the zombies came to be which gets interesting the more it is revealed.

    Sound Design: It's just okay. The music is good during certain parts of the game but sometimes it feels as though the game is trying too hard. There is a certain scene where I had to roll my eyes because it tried so hard to copy other AAA games to the point where it was hilarious. However, there came another scene with basically the same script but this time, the music felt earned because of an important plot point that had occurred in the story. Another gripe I have with the sound design is Deacon himself. Although portrayed masterfully but he keeps on repeating lines even to the point where you have completed a quest but Deacon keeps telling himself that he needs to complete this quest - its hilarious.

    Graphics & Performance: The game looks great but runs bad. I played it on a base PS4 with HDR enabled. I had MAJOR frame rate problems with the game when driving a bike to the point where I had to take a break from the screen. It's egregious to the point that it exhausts you. Driving controls are good but not fun when you are constantly driving around in 12 frames per second. I hope they fix the frame rate issue because the game, when it does run, its a beauty to look at. The weather effects in this game rival the biggest games of this generation like RDR2. The snow doesn't just fall, it accumulates around you. It changes how you play. It dampens your sound. Your bike slides in snow. It's really well done.

    Verdict: A good game with repetitive mission structure and bad performance. The developers are constantly rolling out patches though so I hope it improves in the future.    … Expand

Also, the enemy AI is really - *really* - bad. Combat does get better as you add skills but compared with other top titles, combat in Days Gone is a disappointment.

    The game world flatters to deceive. It's pretty but there's no real depth or detail to it. You don't really find anything interesting as you explore and the game doesn't tell stories through its world like the best games now do. Overall, the world you explore has a very bland feel to it.

    Everything else is pretty good, though there's no real stand out features. The stories are okay, the characters are okay, the visuals are okay, etc.

    I hope the game does well enough that Bend has a chance to learn and improve, but for me the game deserves the mixed reception that it's receiving.    … Expand

    +Графика
    Текстуры, лицевая анимация, смена погоды и времени суток выглядят просто потрясающе. Снег и дождь покрывают даже трупы. Такого я не видел никогда. А приятное освещение дополняет эту картину.
    +Музыка
    Она играет практически постоянно. Создаёт нужную атмосферу. Музыка не чувствуется чем-то инородным.Порой, благодаря музыке, некоторые моменты пробирают до мурашек.
    +Брутальность
    Мне надоели игры "без яиц". Посмотрите на игры Ubisoft. Они постоянно боятся кого-то оскорбить. Многие игры пытаются быть family friendly. Days Gone не боится показывать жестокость, грязь и пороки людей.
    +Отсутствие микротранзакций.
    Я хотел купить MK11, но огромная жадность WB оттолкнула меня от покупки. И меня радует, что Sony не идёт на поводу тренда - F2P механики в платных играх.

    Минусы:
    -Оптимизация.
    Подзагрузки текстур, появление объектов перед лицом, проваливание в пол, падения fps, вылеты. И это после патча 1.07.Один раз консоль и вовсе выключилась. Такого я не ожидал от эксклюзива Sony. Если у вас ps4 slim. То вы будете страдать.
    -Затянутость
    В игре много филеров. Первые же 10 часов можно было просто убрать. Это настоящая скука.
    -Второстепенные квесты
    Они однотипны, будто я играл в MMO. Приди, убей/освободи, вернись. Лучше бы вы старались над качеством, а не количеством.

    Лучше бы ваша игра была на 15-20 часов, зато насыщенной. Лучше бы второстепенного контента было меньше, зато он бы был разнообразней и интереснее. Лучше бы открытый мир был меньше, а графика чуть хуже, зато игра была бы более оптимизированной. Я считаю, что Bend Studio нужно было обуздать свои амбиции, ведь затянутость, низкое качество второстепенного контента и, в данной игре это самый плохой аспект, плохая оптимизация делают вашу игру только хуже. Это худшая AAA-игра от Sony в этом поколении на моей памяти.    … Expand

The games main character Deacon is a very interesting person struggling with very human problems, his mental state is clearly deteriorated after 700+ of a freaker hell with only his friend Boozman -who I will be referring to as that from this point onward- to keep his sanity stable... For the most part. The gameplay is fine, nothing to write home about, but far from bad, the bike controls wonderfully, it feels very weighty and even though I've never ridden a motorcycle I'd assume that's how they feel, Deacon himself feels pretty regular, par for the course in 3rd person action games like these, he doesn't feel stiff or too loose and you can control him nicely to slip past enemies. I think the game mainly suffers from a lack of mission diversity, it boils down to very safe formula, go here do this, find this, kill these people, it can hinder any longer play sessions and I often found myself switching to another game after a few hours, especially with the Freaker Nests and Enemy Camps, which can feel like a chore, luckily the writing keeps it interesting for the most part, even when riding between point A and point B, you'll often get a little radio alert from Cope, one of the settlement leaders, and Deacons reaction is always entertaining. Is Days Gone good? Certainly, do I think the game is amazing? No, do I put on line with some of the ps4 exclusives? Not really, God of War (overrated as it is) and Spider-Man are leagues ahead of Days Gone, but I'd like to think of that as a testament to how good they are, not one of Days Gone's shortcomings, overall the game is great and remains one of my favourite of the year so far, if you don't like 3rd person action titles, this game isn't going to change your mind, if you don't like zombies you probably won't like this, but if you're like me and you can't wait for the zombie outbreak, you'll probably have a lot of fun in Days Gone, luckily the small survival elements don't get needy and whiney like... Metal Gear Survive... I'm gonna go wash my mouth out with soap now... Final verdict is an easy 7.9… Expand

    The Bike controls terribly, hampered by the constant need for fuel, maybe that's working as intended, so you can improve it, but it's an onerous mechanic.

    Melee weapons are nearly fully degraded after 2 or 3 kills, necessitating the purchase of a repair skill (which is buggy) right from the start. But melee itself is quite satisfying compared to ranged.

    Very limited inventory at the start, but disappointing loot seems to make that a moot point.

    Shooting is not great to be honest, especially in the heat of battle

    There are many older more polished, similar games out there, with which this game could contend successfully, if it were more polished, but unfortunately it isn't.

I hated the grabbing animations. I hated some of the fighting animations as well, from the camera point of view, not able to customize view distance or locking into a target during fighting. Sometimes you are just trowing close range blows to the air hoping you hit the enemy you cannt even see because of the camera point of view.
    Driving around in the motorcycle broke my immersion as well, when I was trying to drive quietly around the freakers infested world, but my loud motorcycle not only attracted a bunch of freakers but wolfs as well, and I was unable to get rid of them since it feels something is missing with the whole fighting on the bike plus camera turning mechanics. I had no choice but keep driving as fast as I could far away from I was intending to explore, where I finally was able to jump out of bike to see map, get disappointed and start thinking the only way to explore everything I missed is by foot and just ditch the bike forever.
    Also, there is no customization at the moment of the HUD, camera distance, no clothing or eating. You got to feed your bike with gas, but when you grab the gas tank and walk or run with it, it seems and feels you are walking with a balloon instead of a gas tank. They tried creating immersion by limiting the items your can carry, however, that immersion goal the developers had were poorly executed.
    I was forcing myself to overlook all of this and played the game regardless. The graphics are good, not the best, but it is acceptable. I got hooked on the story and searching for stuff and discovering collectibles.

    The story aside - this game has a lot of flaws.
    First and foremost - the game is baaaaaadly optimised... Frame rates drop at almost motion stop animation while you ride your bike.. Pretty much most of the time there is enormous amount of lag while driving(and sometimes on foot). There are a lot of bugs too !!!! - I ve been stuck in a wall not able to move, teleporting thru walls and fences and a lot of deaths followed cuz of these circus acts ive been a part of. Zombies flying around and teleporting from miles away is just the weather forecast obviously.
    Quests glitching and being stuck somewhere without spawning the npc for a quest is just a norm. I got 1 hour of videos made just with ridiculous glitches and failed renders, which are mostly of cars.
    Unbelievable stuff on this point ...Considering bike riding one of the better things in this game, its just nerve wrecking to ride your bike in 15 frames per sec... Two year teasing the game and they get it out so poorly optimised? Cmon now...
    Second - no seamless transition between cutscenes is like getting back at least 5 years in gaming. You do something and suddenly - black screen for a second or two for pretty much nothing.. It doesnt feel smooth and its not nicely done either.
    Third - fighting is pretty boring and repetitive after a while.
    Its not that much of a problem but small things stack one over another.
    Fourth - the AI is probably the dumbest in gaming since i dont remember.. I literally 'stealth' killed three idiots in a row one next to each other while the others were looking at me and they passed around me simply cuz i was 'sneaking' in a shallow bush.. While i was stabbing one of the dudes the other was pushing at me while saying stuff like : 'yo where he is , i lost him' , 'hey why dont you come out an talk i dont wanna hurt you' WHILE I WAS STABBING HIS GUY IN FRONT OF HIM MULTIPLE TIMES LOL. Everything is made pretty much like they just found out open world and this game will be the stepping stone of open world, while it is exactly the oposite - its years behind open world games..
    Fifth - what in the world is this thing with the flashlight for God's sake... His flashlight is in his pocket while the light is going around him with the crosshair... Bro wtf... Uncharted 1 was like 2007 and the flashlight there was pretty realistic - hangin at the chest while the light goes where the character is turned at the moment. But nah - lets make the flashlight like some theater light thats goes wherever you want while your character sits blank staring in the netherrealm.. I thougth it was some glitch or something for the first two minutes, and when i finally coped with this idiocy i was annoyed at least...
    Sixth - repetitiveness is just killing this game. Wont dwelve at it much but it really is awful enough.
    Final verdict - the game is a huge dissapointment and even the nice graphics and fine moCap cant compensate for the dullness of this game. It feels like the guys who made it are a little bit bihind in terms of game inovations and gameplay. Theres nothing new in it for an open world game. Even the fact that they named the zombies in the game with the cringy 'freakers' and thinking thats something new and cool talks alot about the guys that made this game and what to expect from their game... Cool bikes tho.    … Expand

    Other issues: The combat is unsatisfying and enemies are bullet sponges. Your motorcycle's gas tank is the size of a teacup and might as well have a gaping hole in it. Searching for gas isn't hard but it is a distraction and unfun. The world is charmless and flat -- there's no color or detail to make it feel real. The slavering and lip-smacking of the zombies makes everywhere you go sound like mealtime at an old folk's home -- they should sell earmuffs at the camps.

    Honestly, there is a gem of a game here but the gameplay just isn't working for me. I'm happy others like it but be warned.    … Expand

    I frankly don't think this game is underated, reviewers and game journalists in general, don't see with me that eye to eye, but this is a game that I can agree with their opinion quite a lot.

    I'm not sure about the state of Days Gone at release, all I know is that Days Gone isn't the marvelous game that a lot of people seemingly seem to think it is, it has some incredible moments, and    I frankly don't think this game is underated, reviewers and game journalists in general, don't see with me that eye to eye, but this is a game that I can agree with their opinion quite a lot.

    I'm not sure about the state of Days Gone at release, all I know is that Days Gone isn't the marvelous game that a lot of people seemingly seem to think it is, it has some incredible moments, and others that are frankly quite mediocre, but for the most part, I would say that the game, at the very least when taking into consideration its story, doesn't work that well for the most part.

    The game is divided into three segments that involve generally speaking, doing the same things over, and over again, you're supposed to complete missions, and side missions, to increase your relationship with multiple encaments throghout the game, this is represented by a level and a meter that slowly increases as you complete missions, rescue hostages, or clear hordes (an activity that you can't really achieve up until the last couple of missions in the game).

    The biggest issue with Days Gone lies in artificial pandering, this freaking game needed a f***ing editor or something of the sort because frankly, the first few dozens of hours of the game could be cut easily, the first two encampents could've been removed from the story completely and you wouldn't be missing anything, by comparison the second encampent (the one from Crystal lake for reference sake) is the one moment where the story peaks, and I would say, the main core moment where the story takes a turn for the better, you meet friends, antagonists, there's a questioning on how the world is changing and affecting people's humanity around them, admitedly there are some missions in this part of the game that don't make much sense, some story arcs are completely forgotten after being introduced, and some characters are introduced, while others retired, without making that much sense, but generally speaking this is where the game really "shines" to put it in a way.

    On the other hand the game has this story arc across the whole experience which is Deacon (the main protagonists) long lost love, and his arduous journey in trying to encounter his wife, it's enticing, at first, but then after a while it becomes redundant, and frankly the presentation of Sarah (Deacon's wife) left a lot to be desired on my part, their relationship seems to hinge in cliches, and artificial interactions, that made me not care in the least about this aspect of Deacon's life, it wasn't until the end of the game when some of this actually made sense to me, and made me care in a way, the ending was a beautiful thing in my opinion, closing a lot of story arcs in a good way, albeit some in ridiculous over the top, nonsensical, idiotic ways, but for the most part as the credits rolled and I glared at Deacon driving across all of the landscapes I've visisted before, I felt a strange feeling of warmth inside of me.

    The voice acting also leaves a lot to be desired for the most part, specially because of Deacon, whenever Deacon gets angry, and throws a strange scream, or attempts at trying to be furious about something, ends up being more funny than real, just because of how over the top it is.

    The combat system and the gameplay for the most part are great, but I always got the feeling that combat systems, and the segments of interactivity in this game didn't last as long as they had to.

    I found myself in many, many circumstances, in which I would finish a camp in minutes, while other times I would finish missions in seconds, completing the objective, and then heading back the way I came.

    The gameplay is a mix between simple stealth elements, and gunfights, you get multiple weapons throughout the game with the issue being that most of them are difficult to compare one with the other, in order to try and figure out what are the best ones, and what are the worse ones.

    All weapons in the game have stats, and levels, that are supposed to serve as a reference as to which ones are good, and which ones are bad, but none of those two things really factor in for the most part, if anything is the other way around, some of the stats straight out lie to you in telling you some weapons are betters than others.

    The gameplay is good however for two reasons, there's a sense of unpredictability to both stealth and gunplay, you get this feeling like you never will know the outcome of every encounter, even if you're clearly winning.

    The other aspect is the brutality of the combat, the guns feel devastating, and powerful, while the stealth elements are brutal and raw in their presentation for the most part.

    Generally speaking I would say I had a lot of fun playing this game, I got in on a sale, I do not regret my purchase, but I also don't think is this marvelous experience everyone talks about.    … Expand

    Sony decided to shelf the IP altogether. I think that's a terrible idea.
    I don't agree that it should get a sequel either, or at least I don't think that should be the next step.

    tl;dr version: Buy while it's on sale or wait till November for Black Friday week(end)

    In-Depth Review: Days Gone can be best described as a flawed game, with a flawed story about a flawed protagonist. The game was a solid 7 at launch and between a 7.5 to an 8 at most post patch updates. And while an 8 may be generous in most people's eyes, I can't help but applaud the ambition of    tl;dr version: Buy while it's on sale or wait till November for Black Friday week(end)

    In-Depth Review:

    Days Gone can be best described as a flawed game, with a flawed story about a flawed protagonist. The game was a solid 7 at launch and between a 7.5 to an 8 at most post patch updates. And while an 8 may be generous in most people's eyes, I can't help but applaud the ambition of Bend Studios to give yet another spin on the "zombie (not zombie)" Apocalypse while telling a story about an "any man" trying to survive in a post "End of Days (hence Days Gone)" world. There were times when I was impressed, even blown away by the ever changing weather patterns and shear number of bodies flooding towards me as I ran for a horde. Contrary to the common perception, most people criticize the gun play and driving in this game, but there's two caveats to this. One, there's a learning curve and "quality" curve that go along with using weapons in this game. And second, most of the reviews posted here and elsewhere are from people that never even made it half way through this game. Let me give you some numbers:

    Out of copies sold PSN records the following achievement wise:

    24% have actually finished the story/completed the game on any mode.
    26% have gained allied status (rank 3) with any encampment in the game (possible with 50% of the game completed)
    36.8% have reached Crater Lake (roughly 75% story completion)
    42.8% unlocked 15 skills (or otherwise hit level 15)
    73.5% unlocked the "Special Delivery" achievement (unlockable in the first 10 hours of the game depending on how well you're doing)

    So that means:

    - roughly 1/4 of the reviews/opinions have been made based upon 10 hours of gameplay (good or bad)
    - More than half the reviews were made by people that never unlocked less than 15 skills in the skill tree.
    - a whopping 3/4 of the reviews were made by people that never reached 75% completion of the story line.
    - and that same 3/4 of the reviews never even completed the game as of today!

    As a person that's completed the game and am currently sitting at 82% completion for achievements, I've spent my time examining every nook and cranny of this title. Fortunately there are elements of truth that can be pulled from fanboys and critics alike. And let me tell you, the final side of my review will be critical of the game.

    The coding of this game is flawed. Even after all the patches (as of this writing we are on version 1.11) there are still dips in frame rates when it comes to hordes and long durations of gameplay. Further, there are times were the game has literally "broke" on me and I couldn't attach a suppressor, craft arrows or pick up items. Luckily the autosave kicks in very often, but that doesn't help when you're in a "story scenario" and must restart from the beginning due to a bug.

    The story is also severely flawed. I'll openly admit, if I didn't want to see this game through to it's conclusion, the story would have put me off where most people gave up or quit. Most of the characters are unlikable, the character you play as is unrelatable and indecisive. The story tries to sell you on a huge narrative of a biker trying to find his wife yet it feels so shallow in empty. The characters never make rational decisions on screen which telegraph any tension they try building. And perhaps the most egregious thing about the story is a side character who magically goes from heterosexual to homosexual in like a matter of weeks(?). Was this put in purely as fan service? If you examine the dialog between people, this person is actually coerced into thinking it's "right" but she never shows indicates that she believes it's who (or what) she actually is. As for the rest, it felt like huge parts of the story were trimmed or completely scrapped. The story makes fantastical jumps at times. John Garvin, writer and director of this game, along with Anne Toole which did "additional writing" should be ashamed. How can you successfully make every single character unlikable and expect the player to become invested in the story? I'd like to know how the pre-production meetings went during script revisions. Leilani Ramirez was in charge of dialog and again, I'd like to know if John Garvin told her to explicitly direct every voice actor to sound annoyed, ticked off and agitated during their line reads. The quality was just awful.

    The story leaves plenty of room for a sequel, DLC expansions, etc.though with the gaming community largely giving it an average at best rating, only time will tell. I can say this though in closing. Had they been given another month to polish the game up (like what they've done through today's 1.11 version) they'd likely score higher. Let's just hope they have a different writer and director if a sequel does happen.    … Expand

    All in all an admirable effort by a smaller studio, but they aimed too high. Days gone could have been much better as a shorter, but tighter experience, with a more meaningful story.

    They tried so very hard with this game and came so very close to making something brilliant. The thing about Days Gone isn’t that there is a major issue holding it back, but that there is a plethora of minor flaws that plagued my experience when I played it.

The thing about Days Gone isn’t that there is a major issue holding it back, but that there is a plethora of minor flaws that plagued my experience when I played it.

    Firstly, Days Gone is just far too long. The game could easily have concluded just before going to the southern section of the map. At this point the story became too convoluted and over-developed. We were searching for Sarah, not some kind of Cold War. The length of the game also exposes the repetitive nature of many missions, which boil down to fetch quests, assassinations and arsons. Had I not been about 2/3 through the game before I noticed this, I would have quit playing.

    Some of the other issues range from fragile weapons, tedious motorcycle maintenance and the many bugs and odd collision detections. The process of increasing your health, stamina and focus I found particularly arduous and also unnecessary on lower difficulties. These were little niggles that added up throughout the game.

    One other substantial issue I had was with the hordes. This game was marketed partly on the ability to take on massive hordes of the infected, however this does not become engrained in the story until quite late, including the tools needed to tackle a horde. In addition to this, in-game tutorials are non-existent on taking down hordes. Videos online show skilled players methodically taking them down, whilst I found it a protracted and chaotic mess that was far from enjoyable.

    So, what does the game do well? The exploration is great once you have the motorcycle upgraded enough. At first the bike handled like jelly but eventually I got the hang of it and found it fun.

    The combat can be very satisfying, particularly the explosives, however I would have appreciated easier access these and the resources required to craft them. Shotguns in particular give a satisfying splat.

    The story is also quite good for the first half. I loved the elements of grief. However once Deacon resolves this the story explodes into a civil war narrative involving too few characters I care about. The second half of the game could probably have been kept for DLC or a sequel.

    Overall, Days Gone is a rather bland and a run-of-the-mill zombie survival game that struggles to find its place amongst its contemporaries. Far Cry had better driving and vehicles, The Last of Us did storytelling better and Dying Light did combat and exploration better. Some of these games notably were made years before Days Gone. There isn’t a lot left that Days Gone could innovate and it fails supersede what already exists.

    Despite this, I still found Days Gone oddly compelling. If you are really thirst for another zombie game, it could be for you, otherwise go for a better title or wait for a sale.    … Expand

    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.
