    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.

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

    The game in one word: FUN! Gameplay is very nice, the action, the great stealthy feeling (despite the stupid AI of human enemies) However, the story & missions are totally uninspired (at minimum). You Just dont care about them, you do because is fun.

    Took awhile to get into it. Like the story and the playability. When I had to fight a horde it got real intense. I just wish there wasn’t a huge update every few days. Might as well come back tomorrow to try and play.

On the other, the characters are interesting, with a story that ranges from interesting to what feels sometimes dragged on. The gameplay is fine, I mean you can't go wrong if you copy elements from every other open world game out there. 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. Game's ok a flat 70 from me. Think a low budget/ unpolished far cry game with zombies.    … Expand

Story-wise, the game is just OK and I thought it could have been better. A Last Of Us it is not. The gameplay was a bit repetitive and the bike mechanic with the fuel was extremely unrealistic since bikes tend to give tremendous gas mileage and yet you would burn a quarter tank just getting to the bottom of your hideout hill. Kinda ironic that a mechanic added to display realism actually turned out to be quite unrealistic. The game is fine and there are some genuinely fun and tense moments but I wouldn't pay full price for this game and I am happy I got to play it on a rental because I doubt I will want to play it ever again.… 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

No geral DAYS GONE é um game que vai proporcionar uma experiência bacana e divertida, mesmo que genérica ( 4x ), desperdiçando um bom potencial, em mais um game qualquer de ação e aventura em mundo pós apocalíptico.… 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.

Let me tell you, the first 10 hours are fun and the graphics are as good as you can expect, but after 40 hours (the time it takes finishing the main quest), the issues become conspicuous. 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

    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

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.

    This game is just not enjoyable… you ride your bike back and forth running errands that don’t really matter to you for practically 90% of the game.. the other 10% of the game is spent uncovering the truth about your wife, abnd these are the moments that sucked me in .. these are the moments that had me just sucking it up and doing the boring task of drive here, drive there, just to unlock the next flashback or the next clue to what happened to her.. this was my bread crumb… what makes the rest of the game so bad is that days gone just does everything in its power to make your time playing it miserable, issue 1
    you have to manage your bike, you will run out of gas, you will have to repair it.. which is fine.. I appreciate the immersion this added to the game.. howver you would think you were driving a hummer rather than a motorcycle for how quickly you run out of gas,
    issue 2 , theres no incetive to explore in between tasks,.. your inventory space is so limited that it discourages any sort of weapon collecting, and there isn’t much to seek out in this world outher than health and stamina upgrades.. leading to a world that just feels like a chore and an obstacle…
    which brings me to issue 3.. the world is just an obstacle.. if it isn’t annoying enough to have to find gas trying to go from point a to b, youll constantl me ambushed, there will be snipers, tripwires, wolves.. the game wont let you just get to where oyu have to go.. it needs to throw you off your bike and force you to kill a bunch of enemies in a game with a heavy emphasis on survival… health and ammo is not plentiful here… so its kind of bs how often the game forces damage and combat on you during moments not even associated with the story… which brings me onto the 4th issue.. the hordes… again with the lack of ammo and recources.. especially to craft the thing needed to actually kill these things.. theyre just way too powerful and annoying.. and can be real game stoppers. As the game forces you to kill hordes like 4 times throughout the story.. though thankfully after dying enough your given the option to skip that bit… almost as if the game knows it has some overly frustrating parts to it… Days Gone essentially set out to make an open world version of the last of us.. but forgot to balance the mechanics of the last of us to exist within an open world… maybe the point was to make things miserable. To bring the actual emotion you would feel living in this world… in that, the game succeeds.. but in being an enjoybale experience, the payoff here wasn’t worth the misery… the world, the characters, the story.. its solid.. it good… days gone is an experience at least trying out… it did oddly enough have its hooks in me.. I happily played all the way until I got my answer.. it wasn’t until those final 6 hours that I was just over the game, its then you realize without that breadcrumb, theres nothing here to incetivize you to keep playing…
    I give Days Gone

    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.

    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.

    Overall this is a solid game. Graphics are some of the best that I have seen on the PS4 and it plays really well. I haven't experienced any issues with this game, granted I'm playing with 1.51 patch so it seems to have been fixed. I bought the game on sale for 35 dollars and it was well worth it. The story is good, not God of War or Last of Us but there is a story worth playing through.Overall this is a solid game.

Overall, a great game to play and would recommend.

    There is quite a bit of backtracking and running errands that are relatively the same. However, the world looks so gorgeous it's captivating. It's similar to the Far Cry series in regards to this perspective. Plenty of gameplay here to have fun with.    … Expand

    Probably the most overall average game I've ever played. There's parts that are awesome, then there's parts that left me shaking my head in disbelief. Score is pushed a little by the world itself being pretty damn impressive but I genuinely struggle play more than 1-2 hours at a time.

    The game is not either terrible or amazing. There are noticable things like frame issues while riding the bike and the enemy ai isn't bright at all, but it is a decent comeback for bend studios, whom haven't made a console game since 2004.

    I think we've come to an oversaturation of open world, zombie/post-apocalyptic games. Had this game come out some years ago, maybe it'd have received better scores. This game has pretty visuals, but other than that it brings nothing new to the table, hence it can get tedious.
    I wish they remade or continued with the Syphon Filter series, which I really enjoyed during the ps1 era.

    A great zombie game, but not as great of a story game. The hordes are scary, and are the best feature of this game.

    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.
