    One of the best zombie games ever made. So freaking cool and difficult as well. Engaging story and gameplay. Loved every minute of the game. Not sure why the big fat F critics gave almost negative reviews for this beautiful and wonderful game which made me not to play until now. Just go buy this game, it’s freaking awesome. Go kill the hordes and evil humans.

    I totally agree with people who call this game a breath of fresh air. Bike! Machine gun! Hordes! The game has flaws, a lot. It's not a polished shining p.... of c..... assassin/allubigame.

The game is cool! One piece of advice, don't try to kill hordes at the start, close to the end you will get all tools to do it bold and extremely fun!… Expand

    Absolutely one of the best games I've ever played! Mechanics are good, storyline is good and beautiful graphics! Other than the hordes, there could be a little more action but it was good enough to be entertaining. There BETTER BE A PART TWO(!) or I will be sad... great job devs....great job

    I was waiting for this game a few years. After viewing about 30% of progress at youtube, I've finally decided to not wait for a discount and bought this game for full price a few days later after release. And game worth that money. It just the best one.

    Will definitely preorder Days Gone 2 and buy Season Pass (if it will be released).

    One of the best games of all time for me. The story is so captivating, intriguing, emotional, with drama, suspense and surprises, themes of friendship, sacrifices and humanity. I love it from beginning to end. The soundtrack for this game is superb. The graphics are not on pair with titles like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima, but are still top quality.

    The thrill of being chased by an actual HORDE of zombies, and slowly taking them down, running away, trying different strategies, is one of the best offerings in modern gaming.
    I do recommend for everyone who has a PS4 to play this game, and to play it on normal/hard for a nice challenge.
    The only complaint I could have about this game, is the lack of story DLC or lack of a sequel announced.    … Expand

    finally finished DAYS GONE this game is surprisingly long i didn't expect this game to have so much content
    and before i criticize this game ill give some slack to bend studios because this is their first AAA PS4 game so i wont go that hard on them
    Story: you are an army veteran ex biker gang member that helped his wife to safety and then survived two years with his best friend that    finally finished DAYS GONE this game is surprisingly long i didn't expect this game to have so much content
    and before i criticize this game ill give some slack to bend studios because this is their first AAA PS4 game so i wont go that hard on them

    Story: you are an army veteran ex biker gang member that helped his wife to safety and then survived two years with his best friend that you met in the biker gang and now you are a bounty hunter of sorts called a drifter and you take jobs from other camps and kill zombies for camp money

    pros:

    - the game is really detailed and you can actually notice all the small things

    - when you fast travel it takes time and gasoline and it kinda adds to the realism

    -the game has so much content replay value and even endgame content for all the grind lovers

    - the map is huge which is really good you can travel around the map and just kill zombies and look for
    crafting materials

    -your character even after maxed out skill points doesn't become this god being that kills everything in one shot and i really loved it

    - the hordes are terrifying and actually pump your adrenaline and make you think before you act you actually need to prepare your self and a route to run in before you attack a horde

    -the transition between day and night and the weather change is just awesome

    cons:

    - the transition from cut-scene to game play is horrible how horrible ? black screen cut horrible

    - the gasoline tank that you find randomly outside or as i call it the infinite gas tank is ridicules it basically has infinite gas i gassed up a NERO site and then my maxed out bike with the huge gas tank and it still didn't run out of gasoline

    - the voice system needs patching because sometimes deacon or others characters will talk over themselves or worse not talk at all in a mission and basically bug the mission

    - the mutated zombies feel very lame and unoriginal basically there is the fast zombie the strong zombie and the screaming zombie i wish there were more and better mutated zombies in this game

    -the adding of levels to weapons kinda killed it because there are weapons that can kinda one shot anything

    -bike control's even when maxed out feel a little off and they gotta patch that in my opinion

    - and finally the main thing that really killed this game for me is the performance issues i am guessing that they will patch it later but for now the game has so much BUGS crazy FPS DROPS really ridicules RENDERING ISSUES and GAME BREAKING GLITCHES that sometimes that game is unplayable

    in conclusions if not for the performance issues DAYS GONE could be in my opinion a easy 8.5 out of 10
    but for now my final score to this game is a 7 out of 10 which is not bad for a studio that made their first AAA PS4 game

    update: they updated the game and made it so much better so im changing the score back to a 8.5 out of 10    … Expand

    Much better graphics then I expected. I play on a 50” OLED tv and the game looks fantastic in 4K HDR. Also its mostly a very smooth 30 fps. I have almost not seen any bugs. I like the fact that gasoline, amunition, spare parts etc always is in short supply so you are forced to think ahead and about your every move. Amunition, gazoline, spare parts is    Actually a great game.....

    Anyway, onto the game: I give Days Gone a 9.5/10. This game brings so much to the genre. Think about it: Bend Studio has done something phenomenal here, and with about 130 devs (as opposed to 2500 that Rockstar had working on RDR2): they made an OPEN WORLD game AND a linear/narrative story all-in-one. It's absolutely amazing! Sure, there are a few "issues" but nothing that really breaks immesion. In fact, the atmosphere in Days Gone is one of the best I've ever experienced! The graphics and sound design BOTH are absolutely stunning. The ambient sounds, the gun sounds, the weather, wildlife, footsteps...voice acting... WOW! all just sounds truly amazing! And when you enter a tunnel or a cave... OMG...it feels so real and natural. Then there's the music/soundtrack - amazing! I love the dynamic weather, the day/night cycle... everything is so systemic and unpredictable... and then, on top of that, Bend Studio has wrapped an entire full story around the game, with SIX HOURS of cinematics. We need to take a step back and just realize how lucky we are as PS4 gamers... and all this done with a small (ish) team of about 130 devs. Naughty Dog is more than TWICE that number and they don't make open world games... just linear stories. Don't get me wrong, I love ND games too... but all their games are on rails. In conclusion, all I can say is "THANK YOU, BEND STUDIO!" Days Gone is one amazing game which does not deserve the **** scores that some reviews have given.

    If you are a player on the fence, wondering about whether Days Gone is good or not, based on those stupid review scores, I say give it a go... your 60 bucks are well spent. There's so much worse out there for that price. Plus, Bend Studio is patching the **** out of the game DAILY and fixing the problems that some of the reviewers are **** about.

    If you buy the game and love it as much as I do, give the devs your support on here and let them know how you feel! Send the love! They deserve way better than the scores the reviews have given them. They're also responding (already) to player comments about the bugs, and fixing them in patches.... and the game has only been out for 2 days! THANK YOU Bend Studio!    … Expand

The open world is extreamly beautiful and despite at first feeling generic, it opens up and evolves while progressing the story, which on its own is worth experiencing Days Gone. I can't really compare Days gone with any other sony title like TLOU, it surely is narrative focused, but if you expect to receive something similar to TLOU - you are in for surprise. The game is focused on survival and its not just a statement that many games make - you REALLY will need to survive in the open world as anything that moves want of piece of your main character - Deacon St. John, who you will surely love by the time credits will roll. Sony gave Bend Studios as much freedom as they wanted - and it shows, and thats why its so different from all other famous Sony excluse titles. Surely this game has its flaws, framerate is not always stable and so far audio glitches have occurred from time to time, but these problems will most likely to be fixed, so no drama here. In the end I must say that i respect all the hard work developers have done during 5 years of development of this project and I believe everyone that own a PS4 should give this game a try.

    1. Add Some more melee takedown animations. That includes different animations for stealth kill. You see the same one and it would be great if their were more because I barely use the guns because stealth is the way i want to play.
    2. Add camera option to pull back more. When deacon gets swarmed i would love to see whats is behind him as im running away.
    3. Add different costumes that you can unlocked for deacon.
    4. Improve on the blending on animations so that swinging your melee weapon feels more satisfying.
    5. Add more customization for the difficulty. Like i want the enemies to be harder/smarter but i still want to keep aim snap.
    6. Add the ability to craft ammo instead of just giving away ammo for free or having us pay for it in game at home base. It will give me more of a sense of survival.

    This game makes me feel like a Man, Masculine...which i feel is a bad word now a days. I knew this game would get raked through the mud by people that say they hate zombie games, they hate male protagonist and people who are loyal to other platforms...But hey if its worth anything i enjoying it and thank you for making the game that you wanted to make with-ought compromising, i know its hard to do that now adays.    … Expand

BUT the game has alot of issues! i am going to start buy saying the the shooting is awful ! its like playing ME1 all over again its very clunky and outdated and enemies dont react naturally as they should when taking a bullet, ive been playing the game on normal but for real no human in the world couldnt take 7 shots from a sniper to the chest without dying, or a WHOLE magazine from a pistol! these things just dont make sense!!! and if youre playing on ps4 be aware that when you upgrade your bike the game will start to collapse and will have frame rate issues! once your bike is fully upgraded textures and hoards will spawn out of nowhere ! the game will be very unplayable while driving (i hope bend fixes this!)! anyhow the game is awesome i loved every second of it but the game feels so clunky and unpolished ! the U4 engine that they are using on the game still need work or maybe we should beg for sony to release their new console cuz my ps4 is very outdated (you will have the same issues also on ps4 pro!) and games dont run well anymore! this game is awesome and i will be playing it until the world is clean from freakers and i cant wait to see a sequel ! they even hint you where the sequel might be (not gonna tell cuz its near the end of the game). the game still need new ideas and i really want to feel that im more in a biker gang rather than a survivor especially in the flashbacks i wish we couldve been with the biker gang or something way more interesting the flashback were a horrible written storyline! but i totally see this game getting better and better in the future with its sequel! if you like games like far cry and mad max and middle earth shadow of mordor/war then this is a must buy for you! and i highly recommend this game to all PS4 owners out there!!!!… Expand

The game has amazing graphics and it is a Huge Game as I have included the full Map with this review. This game gathered elements from different other AAA games e.g. Graphics is on par with RDR2 + Days Gone has dead eye like feature to slow the time while shooting, Days Gone is clearly inspired by Horizon Zero Dawn as majority of the time I felt like I was playing HZD to be honest (When you play Days Gone you will know why I felt that way) during my game play, and of course Bend Studio also took some inspiration from Last Of Us (Days Gone Vibe and environment is similar to it). I can’t comment on story since I haven’t finished this game yet but I am definitely going for Platinum. Trust me “Bend Studio” were not kidding when they said “This World Comes For You’ + “Your bike is your major companion to survive in the harsh world of Days Gone” because Freaker hordes can seriously be overwhelming and in this scenario with limited resources the only way is to run on the bike from it, also you will have to refuel and maintain your bike quite frequently in the early stage until you get good upgrades for it.
    Please don’t get offended but I hated Assassin’s Creed Origins because of the grinding if I could some up full Assassin’s Creed origins game in one sentence it would be something like this in a nutshell “ Hello Bayek some bandits/guards stole my thing/killed someone, go to the outpost and get it back/kill the guy”. The reason why I included Assassin’s Creed Origins because many reviewers said that days gone is repetitive that is one of the reason for low score whereas AC Origins was full of grind but still has high score than Days Gone so as AC Odyssey. Also consider the fact that “Bend Studio’ is not AAA studio with budget like Rockstar games but still they did great job with Days Gone. This review is solely based on my opinion and this coming from the guy who absolutely loved playing Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of Us. If you liked playing these games that I mentioned go ahead and buy Days Gone I am sure you will enjoy it. Remember reviews that matters the most are “YOUR OWN”. I primarily will be playing this game until I get Platinum.    … Expand

    Amazing game! I've been waiting for this one all year! Really enjoying it.

    The graphics are wicked, gameplay is fun and challenging, Bend studio has done a good job.

    Don't get discouraged by the negative reviews. Seems the vast majority that are writing those are XBOX fans and hate everything (when you go back and look at their other game reviews).

    Days Gone is really good. The most important question to be asked of a game should be: Is it fun? The best graphics, the best sound, great concept, brilliant writing, award winning voice acting, all mean nothing if a game isn't fun. Days Gone is fun to play. Its a blast.

No, of course not, but for those of us who choose to forgive its imperfections and enjoy it for what it is Days Gone is a lot of fun. Its the zombie game we all deserve.… Expand

    The shooting was awful for the first half of the game but it gets better with upgrades! The pistols suck though, I mean really, they suck. The aiming reticle for the pistols are awful and I've noticed that pistols and crossbows can sometimes aim off to the sides of the reticle.

    Except for those things, I've enjoyed this game lots and lots! I found it more enjoyable and less forced upon me than The Last of Us.
    The open-world formula kind of reminds me of Red Dead Redemption 2 but with a bike. I enjoyed this world more though, but if it has to do with actually being better or personal preference, I don't know.

    If we get a sequel to this one, we can expect some great things to come!    … Expand

    this game doesn't bring anything new to the genre its not bending the rules and trying something new with the crafting,melee or scavenging. does that really matter....no way. This game is awsome there is tension, you have a fear that you are going to die all the time if you miss- judge a situation. Running into a horde of Freakers is terrifying and you best be ready and have plan.

    I wish i could do a 7.8 or something but I'll round up since it was a close call.

    That's true, you will come across a few glitches here and there but it's nothing that will make you feel like the game is broken.

    8.5/10 because of the glitches would be 9/10 otherwise. Oh wait 8.5 doesn't exist on metacritic. 9/10 it is then! Good job Bend Studio.    … Expand

    Excellent game, reminiscent of Mad Max but has more than enough to stand tall on its own. Every aspect I give high praise, I had very little run ins with glitches. Bend has been doing great job patching. It's a world that is a lot of fun to play in. Love being out in the ****

I'm a tough critic myself, and I can't find anything wrong with this game, of course there were some bugs here and there, which have now been fixed with the 1.09 Update. Everyone knows that there will be bugs after any launch of any massive Sandbox game. It really does baffle me that other critics were experiencing the same game as I have. I have not seen one negative review that is even close to accurate. Trust me when I say that you should take those bad reviews with a grain of salt. This game is very impressive, and you definitely should not read IGN or Gamespot's reviews. I mean, Gamespot has always been whiney and inaccurate with their reviews, but IGN surprised me with their negativity. Just try it for yourself and you'll see what I'm talking about. Good day. :)… Expand

    I want this for PC so badly, i love this game, but it would work so, so, so much better on PC. There could be even bigger hordes and framerate wouldn't go below 30. Right now even when driving framerate can go very low on regular ps4. I guess it's perfectly playable on PS5 now, but even then, on PC they could make graphics even better and 60fps or more would be amazing.

    Do not trust the negative reviews. This game is great for anybody ... except for the Xboxers. Days Gone reminds me of The Last of Us ... but I like this story even better. It's a piece of art, a masterpiece at that.

    It seems strange to place a game like this on the market with TLoU 2 so nearby on the horizon, but this seems to be a zombie game for those who didn't get their zombie checklist marked off by the structured, narrative-heavy Naughty Dog franchise and who haven't yet had open world fatigue set in.

Striking a balance between the introspective of TLoU and the gameplay focus of games like World War Z, Left 4 Dead and Dying Light, It has a narrative focus, but much of it is just set-dressing for a surprisingly ambitious playground in which to ride your motorcycle, kill zombies and loot, loot, loot.

    Therein lies Days Gone's biggest strength, and its greatest weakness: it's chock-full of content, so much so that like every gameplay-driven open-world game, grind and repetition are practically unavoidable, and your enjoyment will boil down to how much of the world-building you can enjoy and how much of the grind you can handle. Motorcycle mechanics are a treat, checkpoints are fair but not exploitative, and the Hard difficulty setting is surprisingly well-balanced, making it an excellent game for people who want a surmountable challenge but not an insurmountably unforgiving testament to skill. Building trust with camps is a little more impersonal than it should be, and this is where much of the grind originates from considering much of the game's 'credit' economy is based around it, but while it may not be especially compelling, I can't fault it for not being efficient and streamlined: turning in items to Bounties and Kitchens and turning it around to Mechanic merchandise is an interesting way to keep shop progression balanced, and it works

    Developed on UE4, a rare shift away from Sony's usual in-house engines, Days Gone isn't exactly full of bells and whistles, but it performs at a respectable 30 fps with incredibly rare dips (even during Horde sections), and most notably, its use of shadows is top-notch, and with a Pro is best experienced utilizing the full effects of an HDR display. Load times can be far less-than-respectable though, so this deserves special mention. It uses checkerboard rendering to achieve 4K visuals, so the visuals and textures are more crisp than early Alpha footage would have led people to believe.

    The Pacific Northwest setting of Oregon is a rare setting in games, but not one that makes for especially creative design opportunities, so if you're expecting much more than North American rainforests, I wouldn't get my hopes up here. But if you're looking for a zombie game that can keep you engaged with lots of mechanically-sound open-world gameplay, this is the best title you're going to find    … Expand

    Days Gone is a mix of all the good things from other open world games. You can tell that the devs have poured their heart and soul into the game from all aspects which includes the core gameplay, graphics and audio. No other game has so much attention to detail when it comes to the sound effects.

    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.
