    Created a Metacritic account just to say how much I enjoy this, I was kinda disappointed that it didn't got stellar reviews like we are used to, with Sony games, but I personally find myself enjoying this more than Spider-man, maybe as much as God of War. RDR2 still top place though :D

    In my personal opinion, I do not know why this game is being bashed by critics. This game is exciting, fun, and stars an interesting protagonist that shows players what it is like to be a broken man living in hell on earth. If you value a good, single player, story-based game, do not hesitate to buy this game.

With a well paced story, aside from a few repetitive side missions, you're never lacking for something to do. From picking daytime vs night time strategies to fighting off literally hundreds of freaks at once this game puts all the choices in the players hands. Great weapon variety, giving the player the choice of melee, ranged, or stealth, allows for some interesting confrontations as you move tree to tree avoiding a sniper because you chose to bring a shotgun with you or simply shooting him with your own sniper from afar.

    Some pretty heavy technical issues are the only thing that doesn't get this game a 10. From constant pop-in to textures not loading sometimes meaning your death as you careen head first into a boulder at full speed. The worst offender being that constant, and I mean constant, FPS drops when riding the bike anywhere near a camp or sometimes in the middle of nowhere. Patches have helped this issue some, but it's still an issue that can plague one PS4 and not another whether it be a base model or a Pro version.

    All in all I highly recommend this game if you want some good old fashioned zombie killing coupled with good story telling and an interesting writing style that seems to make all the characters a little more real.    … Expand

Reviews stating that the shooting mechanics are bad...I don't know but I see it as a design choice. Deacon is not military trained (to my knowledge) and so why should he be able to pop headshots like a badass all the time.

I enjoyed the upgrade system and looked forward to acquiring new skills and trophies which is quite rare for me, the gameplay feels seamless (mostly), the melee combat is amazing especially late game and i didn't have a problem with shooting mechanics personally (especially late game). The world is beautiful, you will find yourself wanting to play again more the next day to progress in all areas. Upgrading the bike allows it to take more fuel and a bashing/make it faster and I like the 'fix and fuel' mechanic, once you get near the end the bike is GREAT! fuel capacity is really nice... I could go on.. Honestly, if you like zombie/open world games try it for yourself. it is a great game, The story is really nice, I enjoyed it and I also rarely care about story. Decent enough characters and plot. I rate it 9 out of 10 but i have put 10 to up the score from the negative reviews to get it into 8 territory. I think people were just expecting the world and I cannot understand the stick it got..

    Just registered for write review about the Days Gone.
    I've played game few hours and it's really great game - interesting story in the zombie setting with post world atmosphere. May be a little bit lazy bike physic in my opinion.

    Don't listen haters, real score for the game is 9 out of 10 for all peoples who like zombie action games.

We all have to accept that this console is near end of life as the complexity and depth of games gets harder to deliver. There is only so much developers can do.

    So far this game looks great, and in terms of mechanics and Ai, whilst iffy at times, it DOES set a new standard and we should get behind this game. Fallout 3 and 4 were as buggy as hell at release. The ambition may be flawed and miss the mark at times but it does reach further than anything Ive seen in a long while. The map is huge. I mean really huge, and perhaps thats the issue. Too many side quests, too big a challenge, not enough reward. Take note Bend for the DLC.

    Quake, Doom etc were great until Duke Nukem came along. They all broke new ground. Give this game a go. Its a great game and is challenging AND in the same mould. Bravo bend studios.    … Expand

But yet these critics never point that out in games they review like horizon, far cry, Red Dead 2, etc. etc. The only legitimate criticism Ive seen from any user or critic is that the story isnt very strong. The writing is where this game fails. But not so much to the point of deserving all these bad reviews. I think the main problem here is that everyone had such high expectations of this possibly being a canidate for goty. I usually agree with what the majority of critics write.

    Despite the very mixed reviews, I picked up this game day one and it is shocking that anyone would give this game less than a 8/10.

    After playing, I realize that critics are holding this game up to the standards of RDR2 and the like. They expect Sony exclusives to be of a class above the rest. If this were an Ubisoft game it would undoubtedly receive 8s and 9s across the board, because    Despite the very mixed reviews, I picked up this game day one and it is shocking that anyone would give this game less than a 8/10.

    After playing, I realize that critics are holding this game up to the standards of RDR2 and the like. They expect Sony exclusives to be of a class above the rest. If this were an Ubisoft game it would undoubtedly receive 8s and 9s across the board, because you know what to expect from Ubisoft. True, it is not up to par with the likes of God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, or Spider-Man. But it is very close, and there are a few things holding it back that I will detail first.

    Weaknesses:
    The transitions between cut-scenes and gameplay are jarring, with random loading and black screens in the way that break up the immersion. This is definitely the biggest weakness of this game. Because it is so strongly narrative driven, the poor transitions between cutscenes and gameplay serve as a detriment to a very good story.

    Facial animations are not up to the quality of modern games. They are what I would expect from the previous generation games such as Uncharted 1.

    Lastly, the world and the side-quests are do not add much to the game, and most of them are more like chores.

    Strengths:
    Narrative. Great characters, development and voice acting add a very necessary and strong layer of depth to the narrative. Deacon is an awesome character that you will grow with and love. The story is very engaging, and the writing is also very good.

    World building and Atmosphere. This is the major strength of this game. Bend Studios has created a dark and beautiful atmosphere, where you can always feel the danger wherever you are in the game. It will really make you feel as though you are living through a zombie apocalypse.

    Graphics are stunning, this game looks just as good as RDR2, Horizon or Uncharted 4, if not better.

    Combat, missions, gameplay are all very fun. Trying to deal with hordes is just as terrifying and difficult as you might expect. Melee animations are gruesome and intense; I love it.

    This is Bend's first shot at an Open-World cinematic game and they have done a superb job. It is a game with the ambition of RDR2, but which lacks that polish that makes RDR2 a generational great. It could have been a 10/10 game but for some of it's weaknesses it gets an 8.5 for me. I'm rounding up to a 9 here because I believe many people have unfairly criticized it because it didn't turn out to be a groundbreaking masterpiece.

    Tl;dr Days Gone is a fantastic game with a great story, characters, and environment, and despite having the ambition of being a GOTY-type game, it simply lacks the polish to reach those heights. 8.5/10    … Expand

The melee combat reminds me of Until Dawn (that's a good thing) bashing zombies and other bad guys with ever better creative melee weapons has not gotten old. The gun play early on is sloppy but as you level up and get better guns it gets much smoother and more satisfying. The pacing is spot on, never so many tasks you feel overwhelmed but not too few either. Nice game play variety as well, stealth missions, run and gun, chasing down bounties, hunting, collecting resources, clearing out nests or taking on a horde, clearing camps on and on. Your bike is much like gun play early on it looks good but feels sloppy but as you level up and upgrade it quickly becomes a pleasure to ride through a beautiful open world that feels alive. Rain, snow, sunshine day or night it's all eye candy.

    The story for me is fantastic. Its straight forward easy to follow and I care! I want to progress to see what will happen next.

    20 Hours in I've had no major bugs at all. Just minor frame rate dips but very rarely. This game is a solid ten for me and I'll be sad when its over. Its rare I replay single player games but I'm guessing I will with this one.    … 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.
