    8.5. At its core, Days Gone is about hope and determination when everyone and everything is telling you to give up and move on, and that's what defines and drives Deacon St. John throughout a very good story that takes place in an open-world that is very diverse and fun to travel and engage in outside of its sub-par first act.

    The story starts out slow with choppy cutscenes that are too short to provide any substance. The Lisa storyline does a good job of defining Deacon, but the Boozer storyline does not go anywhere meaningful in a long and drawn out first act. This along with poor shooting mechanics (which doesn't make any sense since Deacon is ex-military) and having to refuel your bike so much made for an experience that for a below average experience at first......Then, the story really starts to pick up in the southern part of the map and this is when the game slowly starts to shine as upgrades to your bike and your character make the game much more bearable and the themes of the narrative start to come to light. Deacon becomes much more likable throughout the game and the strong supporting cast does an outstanding job fleshing out his character.

    There were some narrative failures such as the ending of the Ripper storyline which could've been so much more interesting as a conflict comes up is solved almost immediately and doesn't matter for the rest of the game, but overall everything else contributed to the narrative and Deacon's journey.

    The best aspect of this game is the world. The dynamic weather system along with how the freakers act depending on time of day and the current weather lead to unique gameplay scenarios unlike any other open world game. This world will really come for you and it was blast to take it on! The story benefited from this as it did a great job utilizing the world to tell its story.

    Overall, the game starts slow and stagnant but gets better as Deacon character develops. Its a shame that the gaming media set out to crucify this game. Although its not a groundbreaking narrative, its a very memorable experience with a fun and dangerous open world and a very likable main character whose journey is very inspirational.    … Expand

    I really liked the story and the characters even if some of them can be annoying at times. It can be very slow progressing but overall it gets a lot better as it goes. In particular I disliked the opening 5 hours or so. Your character is very weak, your bike (your only mode of transport) is in bad shape and you just don't have the firepower to survive most encounters with the infected or hostiles.

    But heres the thing: Keep going! It gets so much better once you upgrade that bike and get some real guns and explosives. The story gets progressively more interesting as well. Like I said you gotta invest for this game to get good.    … Expand

Story is really intersting since it doesnt focus on just one direction side character s are loving and you do care about their history

    Initial review was 6/10. After playing more than 30 hours over the weekend:

    I'm sure people have noticed my comments on the outset of the game's release of the game, and I decided to keep it instead of refunding it for a preorder on the new Pokemon because it's been a long time since there has been a "quality" zombie game like this one. (State of Decay 2 was just a copy of SoD 1 IMO    Initial review was 6/10. After playing more than 30 hours over the weekend:

    I'm sure people have noticed my comments on the outset of the game's release of the game, and I decided to keep it instead of refunding it for a preorder on the new Pokemon because it's been a long time since there has been a "quality" zombie game like this one. (State of Decay 2 was just a copy of SoD 1 IMO from what I've seen of streamers playing it, never finished 1). I put the "quality" in quotes here because initially, this game did not seem to be "quality" to me. The beginning of the story was disjointed, I had no idea what the **** was going on, etc. Tbh, if they would have made the beginning of the game playable in any point, that would have hooked me more.

    Like escorting Sarah to the chopper (during that first scene that was what I expected to happen, I do really believe that that was cut from the game) or something to that effect, to get people to care more about those characters from the outset. However, that was not what happened, thus, it took me far longer to identify and have empathy for these characters.

    However, I have now played about 35 hours of the game over the weekend and have about 800 days gone in the game (I don't know if this is an "arbitrary number" or not to be honest) and I have to say, after dealing with a lot of the events in the game, I am so emotionally invested in the game. I'm trying to leave spoilers out, but people can probably guess what happens to Boozer spoiler, and the resulting story-line from that has made me actually CARE about saving Boozer (I highly doubt the game lets you skip story-lines to the point that Boozer would die or something, but the game makes you feel like that'll happen if you don't get it taken care of).

    That's another thing is that upon my initial hour and a half foray into the game, I did not care for Deacon and Boozer. Like, I just did not care who these people were, and why they were there, how they got there, etc, due to the beginning of the game. That's not really how I wanted to phrase it, but close enough. But now after almost 48 hours in the game, I stop at every bandit camp and wipe them out to protect the roads, I stop at every infestation to wipe them out to clean those damn Freakers from the Earth, I like stopping in at camps for the feeling of "I am safe here.", I like hitting up the NERO centers/checkpoints and getting the stat boosts and a good night's sleep (basically the only "sleeping area" I use during the game since I always hit them at night for some reason). I'm even hesitant to go out into the world now because, to me, I just want Deacon and Boozer to be safe and never enter the outside world again. But I know if I let that mindset take me, I'm gonna drop the game, and that is the farthest thing I want right now.

    This game has sunk its jaws into me and will not let go. It's made a lover of this game out of me, even with all the issues it has at the moment (which is like... the one sound bug with the one Exhaust upgrade (Exhaust II does not have this bug, got it last night and never ran into the sound bug with it), FPS issues, and some issues with some areas/missions not completing, seemingly randomly. So probably about 3-5 issues or so for most people), it's an excellent game and I wish a speedy patch recovery for the issues that are happening at the moment. And I don't say this lightly since it takes a lot to change my mind about a zombie game that I considered "crap".

    I'm maybe hoping eventually they run some sort of "community actions" like "Kill 100 million zombies" or something across all players and we get some bike decals or something, but even if they don't, I could see myself running through this game again (even better if there's a NG+ mode or something).

    Begrudgingly, 9/10 game, would buy again. I'm at work right now and considering going home early just to play more of the game before I have to go to sleep lol.

    The only thing I wish is that Bend would take a look at the issues digital copies are having (major FPS loss/artifacting, can't see the screen/environment/enemies) as this is affecting some of my friends' abilities to play the game.    … Expand

    - clunky
    - boring mc
    - horrible framerate on base PS4
    - annoying and most boring setting (zombies? yaaay..)

    While I did enjoy my time with this game and have given it a high rating, I unfortunately can't recommend it at full price simply due to the still present technical issues that unfortunately will never be patched. These include somewhat aggressive pop-in, constant lag issues when the game is struggling to stream assets into frame, which as a result slows everything down to a crawl and the games controls become largely unresponsive, and still present some cutscene audio and video syncing issues that does largely detract from immersion.

    This game is definitely worth buying at around half price still at the time of writing this review but I wouldn't buy it at any higher price than 50% off unless you are really lacking some engaging story driven single player games to play. For now I would suggest buying Dying Light for your zombie/story fix until this games price drops.    … Expand

Cons: 25-27 FPS when riding a bike in bad weather in most cases, but sometimes even in a seemingly quiet environment + horrible bugs, like poor loading of textures and even whole locations: makes it look like Minecraft.

    I take the game Idea, and i don't think the "bugs" make this game be a trash! And the nada reviews doesn't match with the game quality. The history, graphics, mechanics and bike gameplay are all awesome.

    With beautiful graphics and a story that surprised me, Days Gone is an amazing game. This game went far beyond the old zombie cliché, reminding me of Richard Matheson's book I Am Legend, and in addition to its great strengths the game has a vast area to explore with plenty of content plus an incredible long campaign.

    Yes it has its problems but it's also a lot of fun. The art snobs of the gaming world seem to have forgotten that's what games are about. Have fun playing the game and look for your art in a museum.

    Overall nothing special, but it can be pretty fun zombie shooter. It would work so much better on PC, just for 60fps (or more) and better graphics alone. Graphically it actually looks nice, but it can always be better. Overall it feels underrated and i feel like Sony would have nothing to lose, to release it on PC and it would sell well.

    The Game is great, but: The European version, bought in Germany, has many European languages, even Tschechisch, but there are even no subtitles in Polish. 5-6 million Poles live outside of Poland in the European Union. How ridiculous is it?

    Well-acted, heartfelt story. Decent gameplay.

    Never cared much for the "open world" mechanics, but I didn't mind to endure them for the story. And the "fluff" side-missions actually go down smoothly and quickly. Most of them, at least.

    Sometimes the critics get it wrong and this game is definitely one of those times, thank goodness the fans got this one right though and it sold well. While this game does have a very slow start, it is chalked full of great and well written characters, genuinely touching moments and a fantastic protagonist. I actually cheered out loud at several moments in the game and teared up at the end. Deacon is a great protagonist who has some great one liners and absolute bad ass moments. Please Bend Game keep more “I am going to kill every last one of you” moments in the sequel – it made me feel like such a bad ass.

    The only thing keeping me from giving this game a perfect score is that I wish the side missions were a little more engaging.

    If you are a fan of long and story driven games that you can really sink your teeth into then play this game, you will love it. Also I loved upgrading my motorcycle – it was both fun and motivating.

    I got this game on sale, but I will pre-order the sequel without a second thought to support the franchise and studio. I want more Days Gone. Well done Bend Studios!    … Expand

    Studio Bend patched DG so the game got SMALLER install size and FASTER loading even on PS4 with HDD.
    There are still some bugs left in 2021 on PS5 such as dropped items disappearing. But it has less bugs than a Beth game AND most bugs are FUN! Such as enemy's dropped weapon bouncing around after death and enemies getting stuck inside cars until you throw a rock on them LOL!

    It's good even in 30 fps but awesome in 60fps although it gets a bit too easy in 60fps so you should definitely play it on Hard II on PS5 or PC :)

    It's an extremely entertaining game and the Challenge Mode which got added after official reviews is quite good too! REMEMBER: The perks you get in Challenges move over to Main Game! Something I learnt on my second playthrough.

    Beware of the audio settings on PS5 though. Maybe set the 3D audio to off to not get reduced aduio quality. DG has surround settings for headphones in game menu. Use that instead. But its hard to get goods settings and you might get fooled over hearing enemy sounds sounding close although they are far away. Play with the settings!    … Expand

    It's almost The Last of Us - the open-world game. The writing, characters and dialogue just aren't quite up to Naughty Dog standards. The generic quest design lets the game down a bit, but other than that it's a very enjoyable and atmospheric open-world game. Bike and combat mechanics work well and the zombie hordes are intimidating. The hardcore challenge mode is another outstanding feature.

    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.
