    Thoroughly does it's job for what a game should do. It's fun, and it's unique in having the player be a biker in a post-apocalyptic setting with swarms of infected and having multiple sub-plots.

It's fun, and it's unique in having the player be a biker in a post-apocalyptic setting with swarms of infected and having multiple sub-plots. I think that premise alone is what sold the higher-ups at Sony to release a game like this one despite already having The Last of Us under their belt (it certainly did sell it for me). It left me wanting more by the time I achieved the platinum trophy, and with the dawn of the next generation of video games on the horizon it does make me anxious to see what Sony Bend can do with the next title. (with a bigger team in mind).

    Great game. The story was my main gripe: it wasn't as deep and emotionally gripping as I thought it would be (coming from someone who played TLOU and Telltale's/Skybound's The Walking Dead game Saga among other well written narrative-focused properties) and I did not see the chemistry between Deacon and Sarah. They had little to nothing in common with each other and it was super Hollywood cliché with the whole opposites attract myth. The deeper/genuine interactions were with Rikki and with Boozer, quite ironic since Sarah was Deacon's main goal all along.

    Also that plot point regarding Sarah's research was so predictable throughout the game, that I rolled my eyes upon its uncovering. It felt poorly delivered. It was that Syphon Filter reference (in the background as a collectible in a lab, mind you) that felt like the actual twist to it all (and the final conclusion to the NERO sub plot). I'd like more *crunch* in the follow-up game's narrative. Better context, build-up, development and motivation for one's actions. More tensions, cognitive dissonance and more risk, something that really holds a mirror up to the player and says "This is what your species can be, yet be greatful you are in the safety and comfort of a virtual world." It felt more by-the-numbers Hollywood/superficial in this game than minimalistic/grounded compared to other properties that hold this aura of dread, determination, and tenacious hope.

    Yeah, the game succeeded in leaving me wanting more. More positive than negative. I loved playing the game, very fun and happy to have been a part of it. It can only get better from here if they decide to do a follow-up. It must get better. Bend earned our attention, absolutely.

    I’ll start off by saying Days Gone is a really good game. It’s not perfect. But it’s by no means bad. I just got done getting the platinum and beating all the hordes and really enjoyed my time.

I just got done getting the platinum and beating all the hordes and really enjoyed my time. I think part of the problem Days Gone has with media critics is the state the game was released in. As of this writing it’s currently at a patch of 1.09. 9 updates to a game with in its first few weeks is pretty bad. And figuring critics only got maybe 2-4 of these patches before launch I can understand their gripes. It just sucks it soured their opinions of a game that once fixed is awesome. So who’s to blame for that? Sony? I think the game needed a few more weeks of polish and i think a lot of outlets would have given it a 8-9 or even better. It’s currently my GOTY (though I’m still playing through Sekiro) it’s a very fun game. The characters are very likable especially Decon the main character. Sam Whitwer did a great job making Decon come alive and feel like a real believable person. Even though by the end of the game you can basically be a power house. With in the story he’s just a normal guy. The story is pretty good nothing mind blowing and has some obvious plot points but over all it’s a fairly good tale. I think the combat is pretty good. Once you upgrade and understand how it all works it’s fun and satisfying. Some of the game can get repetitive but honestly what open world game doesn’t. But I never felt annoyed having to do similar quests. I think the game went on a little longer than it should have. I have a few gripes but it’s nothing that really soured my enjoyment. Some gripes are looting. It can be a chore to loot. Having to hold down square and wait a split second sucks. Picking up the wrong things like enemy guns is annoying. Not being able to reliably find the loot you need to make things. Like late game finding bottles and other stuff to make bombs. Some story elements didn’t make sense. There were still a few bugs and frame rate drops but nothing game breaking at least for me. There was one moment where I was fighting a horde and the horde just stopped and I couldn’t attack. But I just moved out of the area and it all went back to normal with no progression loss. That was the worst bug I got and that was literally the last hour of my 100% run. Overall it’s not a perfect game but it’s really really fun. It’s charming and entertaining. And I really hope Bend gets another shot cause Days Gone 2 could really be a hit! And there is def room for more story in this world. If you enjoy really good games. Trust me you’ll like this. Don’t let the media make you pass this one by. Just look at the user scores vs media. Obviously something isn’t clicking between us. Expand

    Got some issue, mostly graphic. But overall it is a very good game, definitely a 8, but I gave it a 9 just to boost the score up. Can't believe GameSpot gave Days Gone a 5 and gave Assassin's Creed Odyssey an 8. I love Origins but can not stand Odyssey for 5 hours, and I play Days Gone for more than 10 hours and it still suck me in.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Days Gone, and some of the mixed reviews out there are very surprising, this is in no way a bad game. The combat, melee especially, feels responsive and weighty, reminiscent of The Last of Us, and the gunplay is great.

    Using the motorcycle in game also feels really good, despite taking a little bit of getting used to at the beginning. But the mechanic of having to manage fuel, damage etc is completely in keeping with the tone and direction of the game, and doesn't take away from the experience in any way.

    Of course, there are some issues, and I have experienced several instances of noticeable slowdown on PS4 Pro, especially when riding the bike; as well as a few instances of pop-in while riding around, but nothing anywhere near as bad as some reviewers will have you believe.

    And of course there can be some repetitive missions, but what game in this genre doesn't have that? Far Cry for example doesn't get negative reviews for the many outpost missions, or the Witcher 3 for the millions of fetch quests.

    This is a long game, with plenty to do, however the story is great and really gets you invested, and wanting to see it through to the end, which I would estimate is anywhere between 40-50 hours when taking the time to do side missions etc.

    I would certainly recommend Days Gone, which to me is right up there with the best PS4 exclusives like God of War, The Last of Us, Spider-Man etc, and I'm hoping it does well enough for Sony Bend to develop a sequel, which I'm sure would be even better.

Very clearly someone who hates this game with passion. I'm extremely confident that thanks to PC release, Days Gone 2 is coming and absolutely no fake review that tries to pretend like this game is bad, is not going to change that. Days Gone is best open-world zombie game ever made. Better than Dying Light and Dead Island combined. How can anyone even say that this has been done 100 times before, while there was hardly any actually good open-world zombie games, before Days Gone? I'm so done with this bs, because it's very obvious why some people actually hate this game. If Days Gone main character was female, all the reviews would be 90/100. Last of Us 2 proved that. That's just disgusting, that good games get bad reviews, because people who review these games, never ever cared about video games. Expand

Your bike brakes and needs gas. Spare parts are everywhere though. So your bike is never broken for long. Also random enemy encounters are a blast. Laying trip wires across the road sometimes to clothesline me. Some nice environmental puzzles and good gunplay make for a rewarding experience so far. I like upgrading my bike and guns as well. If it ain't broke don't fix it. And Sony Bend did just that. Give the people what they want. People also shat all over dying light and that was another terrific open world zombie game.

    Game looks great and has lighting on a par with Horizon Dawn, great weather effects too. Sound is used very well to create a spooky atmosphere and the music is hauntingly beautiful at times.

    Stealth combat is smooth and enjoyable. At first I thought it was too easy but, on hard, you get torn to pieces easily if you mess up so I see why they weighted stealth in the players favour.

    Gunplay is good enjoyable against human opponents but poor against monsters until you upgrade a few things and get a decent automatic weapon. It's possible they wanted the player to initially feel helpless against a rushing group of freakers when you're armed with just a pistol. If so, mission accomplished :s To be honest, I think they wanted the player to deal only with 3-4 freakers at once, max, and to melee them, so don't expect great gunplay versus freakers on 'hard'. The guns have a great feeling of impact and real resonance, with meaty sound effects that echo through the hills and mountain.

    Combat against human opponents allows for many ways to deal with a situation creatively. Bear traps you lure enemies into, stealth, guns blazing, silent crossbow, sniping or a mixture of all. Rarely, you can coax freakers into a bandit camp.

    There are lots of Far Cry type things to do. Clear nests out, upgrades to find etc... Only you know if that's your kind of thing.

    The bike seemed too sensitive at first but I quickly got used to it and I enjoy the feel of it. I like the fact it's a mobile save point too, it's a nice little mechanic that leaves you feeling unsafe when you leave it too far away.

    I'd give an 8.5 if possible and am very pleased with the game, don't listen to the naysayers, or critics who judged it for political/cultural reasons.

Hard mode is not really "hard" and the AI should be improved on human enemies. However, if you are looking for a story that is deep, good character development, sweet graphics, and an overall good time, this is it.

    Despite all the bugs on launch, this game is pretty darn fun. It feels like an open world "Last of Us" mixed with a little state of decay 2. Story is pretty solid so far (850+ days gone in game).

    The combat is very similar to TLOU but with a lot more fulfilment, the open world is fun to be in, the survival aspects have been balanced amazingly well. You are very rarely flush with resources but it is never hard to find more.

    The bike is a great addition, it feels nice to ride, the upgrades for it are comprehensive enough to not feel like a tacked on feature but not so overbearing as to be offputting. My only gripe is that it runs out of fuel too fast but this is kind of overcome with the ease of obtaining fuel but it is still a bit of a downside.

    Anyone giving this game a score of 4 or less, pull your heads out of your asses. I have read your reasoning for the low scores and I can tell you have not played the game as most of the reasons do not even make sense. Games do not have to re-invent everytime a new franchise comes out, Days Gone has taken a lot from other games but puts enough of its own ideas in to warrant its place on the market.

    A lot of the people giving this low scores are clearly either a) xbox fanboys (heres looking at you
    XboxPlay14) or b) just don't like open world games yet bought it anyway.

The closest comparisons i can think of gameplay and presentation wise are Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of Us. The gunplay and melee are brutal and satisfying, guns are loud, bright and give a realistic kick, while slicing and clobbering through enemies is bloody and visceral.

So that's why the I'm giving it a 9 out of 10. Combat was good once you figured out how to fight the hordes and level up your character some it got much easier to deal with them at first they were a bit of a pain in the butt. Expand

    When this game was announced I didn't pay it much attention, as the weeks grew closer to launch i started to pay more attention but I kept my distance to not set my expectations too high or to "over hype myself" I seen a few gameplay clips here and there but any time it came to the game mechanics, crafting, or story I clicked away.

Hype for a game is a real killer of video games and thats why i feel there's a lot of negative reviews about this game people set the bar too high in their mind and I guess it didn't achieve it. --- This game to me left me very pleasantly surprised, I've been very critical to games of this generation because a lot of them have been pretty bad and i haven't had the will or drive to sit down and complete the campaign of many, but Days Gone was actually amazing, This game reminds me a lot of Red Dead, Fallout 3, Last of Us, State of Decay (XB) a lot of elements from them all i'd say. Yeah the main character has a lot of quirky traits but that's what I feel sets him unique. Expand

    This game is fantastic. Besides the lags and glitches
    This game is almost as good as red dead and all i have to say is **** IGN and all the other people who gave this a bad review

    Excellent game, one of the best titles on PS4, despite many bugs, the plot and gameplay is wonderful.

    Days gone... is a great game, but I think it should have come out earlier. Reason for this opinion is that everyone is waiting for Last of Us Part 2 and these games are pretty similar in concept.

After playing Days Gone fore about 10 hours the story really feels a lot like Last of us, of course with some major differences, but in all I think that Days Gone delivers a good action packed semi-survival zombie apocalypse game with decent story and nice ride. Technically the game could be Better, but it's not bad or even so buggy as some people seem to say, for me only few glitches have occured while riding the bike and few zombies getting stuck in environment. I love open world games especially with zombies so it gives me a good play through and will recommend it to anyone into similar games and wanting to have something to do before waiting TLOU2 to come out, strong 8/10 Expand

    After Dying Light and dead Island I needed a break from the undead but I'm having a blast with this game, a few graphical glitches but nothing we all have not dealt with before. So glad this came out 3 days after Mortal Kombat SJW its washing the taste of that dumpster fire out of my mouth nicely. Definitely worth a buy.

    I don't quite get why this has been given such a poor rating by critics. Im 10 hours in and still enjoying the game. Graphics are lovely, game mechanics good, yes its a similar structure to a lot of open worlds - but it works.

    Days Gone is a great game with good characters and a protagonist you actually care about. The story is a little lacking in the beginning, but picks up in the middle and draws you in. The gameplay is average I’d say, gunplay is a little awkward to get used to, but there are skills to help with that, riding the bike at the beginning is not as fun as you’d think it would be, but there areDays Gone is a great game with good characters and a protagonist you actually care about. The story is a little lacking in the beginning, but picks up in the middle and draws you in. The gameplay is average I’d say, gunplay is a little awkward to get used to, but there are skills to help with that, riding the bike at the beginning is not as fun as you’d think it would be, but there are upgrades you can purchase that help with that as well. My biggest problem with the game is the survivor wheel, it is very inaccurate and if you do not select the item you intended to, it will probably cause you to die. There are some frame drops as I’m playing, but I haven’t experienced any bugs. The AI is kind of lacking for what you would expect with all of the amazing games we have. There were several times when I was right in front of an enemy and they wouldn’t move, get into cover nor shoot me. The missions are fairly repetitive, but many open world games are like that (Soider-Man And Horizon Zero Dawn) With all of that said, there are many good things about the game as well. As I said before the story draws you in, the way you can utilize the world around you to destroy hordes is incredible, you can even use the horde as a weapon against your enemies. And amongst all of the repetitive missions and side quests are random encounters, being ambushed by marauders, encountering a random horde or being pulled off you bike by a runner, it all makes the world seem very dangerous and makes you nervous to be out in it. All in all I think it’s a good game and in a few patches once the frame drops and bugs are fixed it can be a truly solid game. Expand

    Well done game, very fun. A good open world and good story. Dunno if the reviewers from IGN and another websites have been playing the same game that we are (users) but i bet they haven’t. If you’re in doubt, give it a try and judge for yourself.

    This game is super buggy. There is cars that that is not fully generated, freakers that just disappears faster than Houdini, and the sound just goes out. I found that I have to turn off the game and restart the very long times to get my sound back. If your PS4 is not connected run from this game ASAP. Do not buy. For everyone else... Get ready for some awesome patches. Yes the game shouldThis game is super buggy. There is cars that that is not fully generated, freakers that just disappears faster than Houdini, and the sound just goes out. I found that I have to turn off the game and restart the very long times to get my sound back. If your PS4 is not connected run from this game ASAP. Do not buy. For everyone else... Get ready for some awesome patches. Yes the game should have been delayed again, but we all know the LAST OF 2 is coming out this fall and Days Gone will not have a chance in hell of making any sales once that happens. So Bend Studio knew they couldn't delay the game again. They knew gamers were going to be very upset about these CRAZY bugs. So they announced early on they were giving out free DLC and challenges in the Summer and have all bug fixes. So we ALL WIN!!!

    The story is okay. It's not bad. The character animations are amazing. You can see the real life actors performance come right through the characters. The only problem is that we heard this story already through other games and movies too many times, but the same can be said for the Marvel movies. Even with this point it doesn't change how awesome those movie LOOK. This is an ACTION ADVENTURE GAME that is suspenseful at times. I tried to get off this game after an hour of playing but I felt like I was under the games spell and could not but the game down. I played for over 10 hours before I could put the stick (Dual Shock 4) down.

    Yes even with the bugs I really couldn't stop playing. I am a very seasoned gamer. I play ALL GAMES. I love how their are elements of so many other games in this one game. There is the Last of Us, Uncharted, GTA5, Tomb Raider, Need For Speed, Starve, Flower, Mortal Kombat, and more. This game takes a lot of other games and puts them in a one stop destination. Sneaking around and melee attacking freakers are so satisfying. I love how I can take any weapon in the game and use them against NPCs. Managing the bike is adds an additional layer to the game where it feels like its own character in the game. It too can be upgraded and yes there is NAS.

    Days Gone has a buffet of glitches, but not even that could stop me from having a great time. They are giving us free DLC and challenges. This is a MUST HAVE.

    And one more thing. This game does take advantage of the Sony's Platinum Headset with 3D sound. Hearing the hordes below you is so creepy. It really puts the game on a whole new level.

    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.
