    Days Gone has many issues - the main ones being technical, along with some story beats that feel a little off. However, this slow burn horror adventure improves the further you progress through the story and consequently begin to unlock more of what it has to offer.

    What a beautiful game!
    I am playing it on my PS5 on a big azz TV. And it looks gorgeous, HDR 60 FPS and really nice models and textures.
    Great story and great gameplay.

    I wish they make a sequel

    I was sceptical about this game because of the reviews but I’m glad I ignored them and played it myself, it’s a brilliant game with hours of fun, from upgrading weapons and your bike to being chased by hordes, it’s definitely worth a purchase.

    These type of games only come around once a decade it seems. Each character feels like someone that you've actually met in Life or want to meet.

The story is great, not the best I've ever played but it's engaging and makes you feel for the character Deacon St john. The world is crafted in a way that feels like you want to explore every inch of the map. There are just so many things about this game that keeps me wanting to never put down the controller. Once in awhile a game comes along that all I can think about is wow I just don't want this to end and that's the way I felt every time I played this game. It's such a great map that I almost never want to use fast travel because you never know what you might miss. The only disappointing thing about this game is the fact that they didn't do any DLC afterwards or do anything to keep the story going. The thing that blew my mind the most was the zombie hordes. It creates a sense of panic that I have never felt before in a game. You could be hiding in a bush hurling Molotov cocktails towards the zombies and if one zombie happens to sniff you out, you have to start running for your life trying to strategically find a way to find some place where you can keep fighting. By far one of my favorite games of all time.… Expand

    The first few hours are EXTREMELY slow, this is what caused me to take so long to fully complete the game, having owned the game since 2019 and having restarted it SEVERAL times, I wouldn't say that the start of the game is boring, but it's very close to that description BUT if you persevere and get past the first few hours, the game really opens up and becomes a lot of fun.

    A fine game with so many interesting characters and a meticulously crafted open world.

    - the world feels genuinely beautiful and terrifying. you can see the aftermath of the outbreak, see the filthy trails left by the freaks, see how anarchists trashed people's properties, see how the post-outbreak communities are built to protect their camps. there are so many details for you to learn more about this world

    - the bond between certain characters are so adorable, I couldn't help but smile when they interact with each other

    The bad:
    - the melee mechanic is a bit outdated, especially when you and your enemy are attacking at the same time, your character would just "wait" and take that damage, in the meantime, you can't control Deacon until his animation is finished
    - voice acting really varies. there are some characters I just can't stand because of how annoyingly they talk    … Expand

    I have only one complaint with Days Gone and it's the same complaint I have on consoles in general - the loading times are too long.

    Other than that, it's a great game. The story is engaging, the gameplay itself is fun, I love the biker main character.... It was basically The Game Made For Me in 2019

The story hasn't too much engagement itself, but the gameplay overpasses in my opinion, the motorcycle gameplay feels too slow at the begining, but after the upgrades feels more enjoyable.

Progression system is cool, graphics and sound are amazing (best looking snow on PS4). Nothing in the game is groundbreaking, but everything works well.

    It's because the game had some issues when it was released. Some reviews saw the game for what it was, a diamond in the rough, but a lot of them saw it fair to give the game much lower scores than it deserves. The creators of the game, Sony Bend, worked hard to make the game run prefect and nowadays this game is amazing and when you own a PS5 it even runs smoother than that.
    The story is about a post endemic world where we follow a biker in search of his wife with his buddy. The story is great and has a lot of twists and turns. The gameplay is fun where tactics to attack or takeout a camp or a huge horde of infected makes it a fun game loop.

It runs perfectly at 60fps on Ps5. It still has a few bugs, but nothing so bad. The critics that gave this game a bad review were very unfair, in my opinion.

    I really enjoyed the story, the characters, the graphics, the dynamic weather/time systems, the combat, the motorbike driving, and the Freakers & hordes themselves. Also, Sam Witwer as Deacon St. John is fantastic - the dialogue feels so well-acted and natural.

    The game that I have enjoyed the most this generation. It's the first open world I've ever beaten without using fast travel once, enjoying the environment doing absolutely everything and still wanting more. I'm not giving it a 10 for the occasional performance issues, because stealth missions are boring and for the disappointment that there was nothing when you finish defeating the hordes.

    Realmente me gustó mucho este juego la historia es entretenida nada extraordinario pero buena, la jugabilidad me pareció bien al principio sufres un poco con la moto pero confirmé avanzas te acostumbrás, lo único malo que le veo al juego son algunos Bugs o glitches que se pueden llegar a encontrar. Realmente creo que vale la pena jugarlo.

I personally think they didn't play the game nor understand the story that it was telling however the game now is better on ps5 with 4k at 60fps. Bugs are fixed that I've seen, the game is gorgeous and the weather system is something that alot of ps exclusives can learn from this game. Gameplay is abit clunky, crafting system is a typical crafting nothing to hard to understand. Soundtrack is great and fits with the tone of the games setting. Story is a drama of a bikers survival and mourning his wife. The game has a system where you can upgrade your bike by doing bounties, side missions even sell plants, meat and freaker parts. Each settlement will have this benefits of weapons or upgrading your bike. I recommend upgrading your bike start of the game. Weapons are not important early. My review is an 8 due to great settings, crafting and story however the game can be repetitive with gas getting low, need to find gas stations or canisters to refuel your bike. Unfair snipers knocking you off your bike, and clunky combat makes the experience little difficult however it's manageable and can still be fun while not being ambush by hoardes of freakers or human and wolves etc. Fast travel is present however you have to clear freaker nests to get have a path to fast travel.

Now with that said here's my opinion on the game, it's a great game it some minor flaws that deserves a sequel, the story is interesting graphics are decent, game play hits and misses in some ways, sound could be better.

    Story: It's good it starts of a bit slow but the more u play the more u get intrigued by it acting is good in general and the main character is well written but could be less of a dick for no reason sometimes.

    Graphics:Probably my biggest problem with the game, the more u play Days Gone the less bether they become textures stop loading in making everything look like its smothered in vaseline, its more noticeable especially in cutscenes were it just becomes painful so see chartres with only half of the textures loaded, i also noticed this happening more often in long sessions of the game making me believe that the reason this happens is probably because of ram overload for to many ram driven tasks.
    Sound: The bike sounds good actulay to good since its noise has hell making u wonder why on earth would u choose to ride a bike in a world where zombies are attracted to loud noises, besides that the radio chatter gets annoying, there u are stealth killing enemies hiding in bushes trying to make has little noise has you can just for a npc to call out your name in the radio, making the protagonist scream from the top of his longs some dialogue that is not even attached to the mission your doing, funny part is enemies don't even care, this breaks immersion are reminds u that u are playing a game and real world logic doesn't apply here kinda like wen in last of us Ellie would just run around in from of enemies and they wouldn't even blink.

    Gameplay: It's good not groundbreaking but its does its job, the only thing that sticks out to me is the gun play it's a bit dumb having to point the gun leaving cover and the wait for your crosshair to slowly get smaller so that u can land and accurate headshot is counter intuitive to what most games do were the more u shoot the less accurate it becomes here is inaccurate all the time unless u wait or just use the focus mode, but if u use the shotgun or the heavy machine gun this issues don't really apply, that's what i did for most of the game just skip rifles no point in thouse.    … Expand

    3) There is a lot of bullet sponging.
    4) Each camp set up except Wizard Island and Diamond Lake are set up horribly. This is just me being paranoid and hypothetically thinking if this were a real life scenario, but there are too many weak points at the camps. Not a big deal though.
    5) There is no ability to swim so if you find yourself in deep water good luck surviving.
    6) Historical monuments seem pointless.
    7) What would be cool is if you could set up your own camp/upgrade other camps, but maybe in Days Gone 2.

Also the human AI is dumb as sh!t.....that said, the graphic are fantastic - the horde and freakers are brutally accurate and their AI is spot on.

    Fighting a horde is intense and pleasurable at the same time, almost like trying to pleasure yourself with a cactus.

    A lot of people are saying "this or spider-man" - having played both, whilst Spider-man is a good game I find it quite dull and repetitive - the same "could" be said for Days Gone but the size of the map, the game play elements and everything else combined makes it a pleasure to just keep going.

    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.
