    História bem representada, fundamentada no que mais trai o ser humano (sentimentos). Mundo aberto maravilhoso com um gameplay muito bem feito. Gráficos lindos com pequenos busgs que não comprometem em nada a experiência final.

    Definitely a good game, I was very reluctant to buy after the numerous criticisms, not perfectly positive, needless to say that for a game of these levels, a 7 is more like a slating.
    But I admit that after giving him a chance I'm really having fun, all he has to do is do it well and the novelty of the hordes, it's very exciting

There are so many intricate and well-told stories in this game. I don't understand the complaints about repetition... there is variety. You have to consider the outcomes of how you play the game. Go in guns shooting and you're inviting trouble. Sneak and bash enemies, you'll need to repair your weapon. You can't upgrade so you're overpowered. And bike riding, which I was dreading, turned out to be fun. The voice acting isn't great. That's the worst I can say about this game. Nobody thinks this is GOTY, but I can't think of a better game so far this year. BTW, I live in Seattle and the characters talking about the great hordes of "freakers" moving up from California and destroying the Pacific Northwest made me laugh. Spot on!

    Original review: One of the clunkiest openings to any video game I've played. The first hour is just bizarre. But then we settle into the gameplay and the open world and missions and this is a pretty good game. Updates have ironed out any bugs for me, and it looks amazing on a PS4 Pro. I'm now 10 hours into the game and there is definitely depth to the gameplay. It's not nearly as repetitious as some reviewers have said. I thought the motorbike riding would suck but it doesn't. I thought the combat would get dull quickly, but it hasn't. My one gripe is the actor who plays Deacon. The character is fine, but his line delivery is lame. One reviewer said they were playing this while waiting for Rage 2 and I think that's it in a nutshell. If you're looking forward to Rage 2, this will definitely and pleasantly tide you over. Oh, I live in the PNW and they captured the area perfectly.    … Expand

The bike is hard to handle and the shooting controls aren't great, at least at first but none of the issues I had with the somewhat rough controls prevented me from enjoying this game immensely. Most of the components that make up the overall Days Gone package have been done before in previous games, there isn't much that's original. But not every game needs to be totally original and although unoriginal, it does most of the things it sets out to do very well. You won't find any level-gating or forced grinding here either. There seems to be just the right amount of side content/side missions, and they're all optional. I'd also like to point out that Bend studio has really nailed the open world formula. Like I said before, there is no forced grinding like there is in so many other AAA open world games today, and the open world is just the right size. Its large enough that it will take you many hours to fully explore, but it is small enough that you will retread the same areas and become at least somewhat familiar with them. I still find interesting little nooks and crannies in the map that I had passed by several times before as I continue to play. This game has so much heart and soul, its extremely clear to me that the developers at Bend Studio really put in the time and effort on every part of it. It's not without its faults, but I found those faults to be completely forgivable given the high level of quality here. If you enjoyed Red Dead Redemption 2, you'll enjoy Day's Gone. They have similar mechanics, similar issues, and are at their cores narrative-driven, high quality, single player open world games.… Expand

The only serious drawback I can accuse DG is the stupid moments of AI. But among these smaller and larger mistakes, Days Gone is definitely a game worth buying and another proof of not being suggested by reviews.

    Graphics- Nothing to write home about. I have seen images such as this on the PS3, however it is still fine to look at. Nothing to complain about. Images could be better though with the tech out for PS4.
    Music and Voice- The music is great and during certain cut scenes I think it is perfect and gives you a great sense of the current atmosphere. The voice acting is fine, but again nothing to write home about. I have seen better and I have seen worse.
    Game play- Great at first, but then gets really really repetitive. Go to X and complete Y is the same for several missions and side quests. The story missions differentiate but they are not the meat of the quests available. Plus Zombie games have been done to the max and it is time to move on from this stale genre.

    Overall- The game is fun, boring at times. No bugs that I have yet seen but it is nothing new to the genre. I give it an 8 to boost the score a bit but it really is around a 7 or 6.    … Expand

I usually only take the time to give a negative review to games, but after getting Days Gone and seeing how many things the game does not only right, but fantastically right, and seeing the hacks who clearly didn’t finish the game or are not experienced enough in the field they pretend to be knowledgeable in.

    The games biggest problems are minor system issues (on base PS4), and the games chosen genre. Honestly, the idea of another zombie game put me off this title initially more than anything.

    But the games positives are legion. The way the story unfolds so you’re not left with the typical open world dissonance of having a goal your character NEEDS to accomplished while constantly doing smaller tasks. Traveling is fun and easy. Locations are varied and typically rewarding to explore. I could go on and on, but this is a meta critic review so I’m gonna keep it simple.

    The acting and writing might be the most organic and believable I’ve ever seen in a game. Especially the actor for Deacon. It’s the best acting I’ve ever seen in a game. Hands down. Microexpressions that you can read and understand, dialogue and actions that stay consistent with the character, I could go on and on. He’s done an amazing job as have the people animating him.

    This game is easily a 9. Probably even a bit higher, but certainly not deserving of the low scores the pedantic hacks who make-up the ‘games journalism’ industry have given it. Give it a rent if you’re on the fence, but you will not regret buying it.

    No microtransactions, no season pass, just a great, sometimes ground-breaking game that I hope sells gangbusters but God knows it deserves it.    … Expand

    This is a really great game with a few small flaws that many of the so called professional reviewers have focused on far too much. But it does have one real flaw which is the pacing. It is a "slow burn". The game gathers pace slowly and it doesn't get really good until you are a fair few hours into it - but if you stick with it through the early stages it's worth it.

    Unlike some recent games, I don't feel like I'm "playing" a
    movie with snap aiming and strict rails on how I do anything story-related. Instead you have a lot of options, with a story that is there to make everything more meaningful rather than take away your agency.

    Great graphics, great audio, great voice acting, great controls. Brutal and well-realized world. It has similarities to two of my favorite games, The Last of Us and Horizon, but is distinctly different than both.

    Bugs and the occasional freeze aside, I had a genuine good time playing through the game. It opens with a relative weak first act, but manages to suck you in as soon as you get to the third Zone (the game starts with two accessible).

    The open world is beautifully designed and filled with threats of all kind. Especially at night, when the Zombies get stronger, random events or miscalculations can catch you on the wrong foot easily. Earlier on in my playthrough I had overestimated my fuel reserves and was stranded near a Graveyard at night in the rain. I sneak-stabbed my way through some random stragglers to an old shack on the far side of the graveyard and luckily found a Fuel Canister there, only to notice that a horde had cut off the way back to my empty bike. Thus an intense 15 minute long Journey back began. I ended up having more "fun" with this, than the actual mission I was originally heading towards. The open world with its hordes and the survival aspect of the game are, unlike me, great at writing stories like this.
    If you liked "The Last of Us" and hated the fact that there was no open world, this is definitely the game i would recommend to you.    … Expand

    This is not a perfect game, but for what I believe they set out to accomplish I think they nailed it.

The world is both interesting and terrifying with the risk of going out at night very apparent with the vast increase of freakers in the world, which makes you think twice about heading out while it is still dark is something that most games do not have. The technical issues are a bummer, but after a week it seems like most of them have been resolved and Bend seems on top of fixing all the bugs in the game which is a good sign. Overall this is the game I expected to get, it's not a masterpiece, but it's a game I can gladly spend 40+ hours playing and be happy to have played each one of those hours.… Expand

    Tons of content and an breathtaking world to explore, equally terrifying. You will not regret getting this game. All the work and love put into it is evident and it's something you can't say for something like Crackdown 3 and all of the supposed "competition"...

    -inimigos e o mundo:Days Gone é um mundo aberto cheio de "vida" ops , quero dizer , cheio de morte hehe , o mapa esta infestados destas criaturas chamadas "freakers" , estas criaturas vagam ora em bando ora solitárias, a inteligencia artificial deles é baixa, tal como esperamos, enfrentar um ou dois no começo do jogo pode até não trazer muito desafio, a coisa começa a se complicar drasticamente com o aumento deste número, que chega as centenas de inimigos simultâneos , para enfrentar essa quantidade absurda de inimigos (chamada no jogo de horda) é preciso se programar para ter munição , bombas , molotovs e tudo mais o que for possível, inclusive o cenário como por exemplo explodindo um caminhão de combustível quando estes estiverem passando por perto, é muito divertido fazer isso, os comandos são precisos na medida do possível, até porque existe uma árvore de habilidade a se melhorar, por exemplo, no inicio do jogo vc pode achar a mira imprecisa, mas isso pode ser melhorado na árvore de habilidades que vai liberando pontos para que vc invista na melhoria do personagem, existem basicamente três seções a serem evoluidas, resumindo e simplificando são: seção de melhoramento de ataques corpo a corpo/ tiro e sobrevivência, não vou me alongar sobre o que melhora para não estragar a surpresa, mas o personagem depois de desbloquear algumas destas habilidades (são muitas) já nós dá muita opção para conseguir combater.Além dos freakers também lutamos contra reapers (uma gangue de lunáticos que raspam a cabeça e ficam parecidos com os freakers) , bandidos (ficam espalhados no mundo) e vira e mexe nos emboscam aleatoriamente, também tem a opção de após achar acampamentos destes bandidos ataca-los para deixar o mundo mais seguro, toda vez que vc toma um acampamento destes te da a opção de procurar uma passagem subterrânea para desbloquear a posição de alguns postos nero (explico depois) e também uma receita para fazer ou melhorar algum iten, como por exeplo colocar pregos em um pedaço de madeira tornando a arma mais efetiva, os postos Nero são postos abandonados de pesquisa , toda vez que vc encontra um tem que ligar o gerador para desbloquear a porta, para isso você precisa de combustível que normalmente está em algum ponto perto, ao ligar o gerador algumas sirenes podem alarmar chamando inimigos indesejados, é possível desarmar esta sirenes antes de acionar o gerador, quando você consegue entrar nestes pequenos postos sempre tem uma maleta azul que tem um injetor dentro, que serve para vc "upar" saude, resistência (serve para correr e rolar) ou foco (recurso que diminui o tempo por alguns instantes).
    História: aqui é onde a coisa realmente me chamou a atenção , este NÃO é um jogo de lootiar (explorar recursos) sem história como por exemplo state of decay 2, não me entendam mal, eu realmente gostei muito de SOD2, mas não tinha absolutamente nenhuma história para balancear, em Days Gone vc se importa tanto com protagonista (Deacon) quanto com o melhor amigo dele (boozer) , quando vc abre um acampamento novo se pega tentando entender as dificuldades do(a) líder te fazendo gostar ou não do personagem por causa disso, também não vou entrar muito neste história para não estragar a experiência ao conhecer estes personagens, mas saiba que a história está muito boa, os personagens são carismáticos e da vontade de jogar cada vez mais, eu poderia continuar este texto por mais algumas dezenas de linhas mas daqui para frente acho que você tem que jogar para ter a sua impressão, vou usar estes meus últimos comentários sobre o jogo para criticar a "crítica especializada", foi vergonhoso as análises que vi deste game, é verdade que existem bugs no jogo, mas depois das atualização (feitas na mesma semana de estreia) resolveram 95% dos bugs, na minha experiência tive pouquíssimos problemas, totalmente aceitável para o tipo de jogo, o loading realmente demora um pouco, mas nada absurdo, as vezes a inteligência artificial dos inimigos fica um pouco atrapalhada, mas não é constante esse problema, dou 10 para este jogo, não está no nível de the last of us, mas coloco ele em um degrau logo abaixo, o que não é demérito, jogasso, me divertiu muito, até o momento é o melhor que joguei este ano (2019)!!!    … Expand

    I think it is a solid 7 at the absolute least but I'm edging to 8. I think it would benifet greatly if they fix the minor (greatly exaggerated by reviewers) technial issues like pop in, some minor stutter and frame jolts in the second area of the game among a few other nitpicks like increasing fuel usage early on and adding varied aiming settings for ranged weapons. It could get to a 9 if resolved. I can't recommend it at full price but the first price drop, I say jump on it fast and hard. It's one of those games that people will be buying and making threads on for months to come wondering where the reviewers who posted 5/10 or less, minds were at or even 6's which are ridiculous scores for this game.

    I'm just entered the last area of the game, I think and the map is huge, I also noticed that many of the reviews that I read didn't mention this area (It is very notable for reasons i won't spoil) which is completely gated off until a certain point, well into the story and so to on the map. I think the hoards are great, although they are such a challenge on hard mode that I am left thinking if I should just lower the difficulty to normal for them at least and switch back to hard for the rest of the game, a tough decision to make. They are massive, fluid and very, very dynamic so much so that each encounter is dramatically differnet and I love how Bend have filled the environment around them with oppertunities to cause utter mayham (at leat the two I have encountered) it is a beautiful thing and so much fun, even while dying so many times it shows just how different each approach can be and besides for some frame jolts (like a half second pause, not a stutter or feame drop) everynow and then but very rarely it is near flawless. The other performance issues like pop in or texture dropping don't increase with hoards nor is there any noticable frame pacing, in fact I think it is smoother than some of the some other intense instances of play, bar that pause that is few and far between.

    I'm playing on pro, at 4k in HDR on a 47 inch (or 49 maybe) It is a beautiful game, stunning at times but oddly inconsistant throughout the world and between some cutscenes and sone others there is an inconsistent feel, a lot of this, I have noticed can be put down to the dynamic lighting as returning to some area can drastically change how things look, even the textures can be greatly enhanced in some cases particularly high noon and the golden hours at dawn and dusk. Shadows really pop and create a painting like scene at these times. However, that isn't to say the game looks bad in other instances like a storm in a forested area can look amazing, rain streaming down while the trees sway is an atmospheric treat that reminds me of Tw3 with greatly increased fidelity to real forests. All in all, it reminds me a lot of RdR2 and it's visuals, with greater detail but much more inconsistency and some flaws like far off pop in of assets and texture loading issues pretty close up. These can be fixed and it's not anything heavier than God of wars massive load times and fram pacing at launch or The wither 3's technical issue's infact a lot less than the latter. The game ozzes atmosphere at almost every turn and it really hits you hard while exploring, it can go from sunny and warm, with happiness on top to cold, damp with a feeling of dread in seconds and that is just a damn treat.

    Sound is an odd one, it is great at times and horrible at others. The main character is absolutely fantastic and so is some of the supporting cast but this is brought down by techinal issues where audio overlaps or audio levels are different. This is easily fixed by adjusting settings on your TV and in game besides for the odd overlap of audio logs with a radion station or walky talky call when playing on a non speaker supporting controller or with headphones in. One thing that is fantastic though is the audio logs that play front the speaker if you are using a Ds4 with no headphones they are a really good use of that speaker and on top they are very well done and interesting.

    Something that is not a good use is the touch pad, it is needless and pointlessly added to menus but buttons can also be used so perhaps a non issue unless you are unfamiliar with Ds4 or trying to play passively with one hand which will often give you menu prompts. And for that matter control in game is great (can be an issue to begin with) once you get used to it on the bike, the melee combat, the general camera are all smooth and great apart from gun aiming which takes a a great deal of time to master but does get better with certain weapon choices and configurations.

    The story presentation is the majour point of negative issue with the game, seems like they want to tag    … Expand

I hope Bend is working on a open world Syphon Filter for PS5 because this game was a tease for me, it feels like a refined/modernized version of gameplay from the classic Syphon Filter games but in the high desert with freakers, bikes and a open world to boot. Love It!

    One thing i wish was in the game was the taser like in Syphon Filter. The taser was so much fun in those games and it would be a blast to use one in Days Gone.

    I also dig the fact that it doesn't have microtransactions/live services and all that other nickel and dime stuff we've come to know over the last decade or so. This also contributes to that old school feeling i get with Days Gone, back in a time where you got a full gaming experience without content being cut and resold at a later date or being constantly nagged to buy skins/cosmetics/virtual currencies. I see Bend's passion by not forgetting how gaming use to be before all the greed and i reward them with my hard earned money as a thank you in return to keep doing what they are doing.

    I haven't had any technical issues with the game that i see some reporting with the game which is great news for me i guess. I'm on the Pro model so i don't know if that matters. The only thing that kinda sucked for me was the wonky AI in the game but since the world is so gorgeous and the story is good i can easily get myself immersed into the game and overlook the AI issues most of the time. That is really about my only gripe is the AI, everything else has been pretty great after 17 or so hours of play.

    Thanks Bend Studio for helping me keep my faith in gaming alive by giving me a full product for my money without the added BS and a fantastic game to boot.    … Expand

    While Days Gone falls a little short of other SIE exclusives in production quality and polish, it makes up for it in exhilaration and fun. I've sincerely enjoyed my time with Days Gone, and it is turning into one of my favorite SIE exclusives despite some early on technical issues.    … Expand

    I’m giving Days Gone a 9 simply because I am thoroughly enjoying this game and feel that a lot of the review scores were given by outlets that just don’t know video games. I am engaged in the story, characters, and especially the open world Bend Studios has created. The world truly feels like a main character and is definitely this game’s strongest asset.

I’ve seen large review outlets giving this game a 5 and a 6. In no way shape or form is this game at that level. If Bend can manage to fix a lot of the technical issues, then we have ourselves a great game to its core! If you’re on the fence because of the reviews, I would recommend you pick this up. If you’re a fan of the genre then you simply cannot go wrong.… Expand

While Days Gone is nothing revolutionary, and despite having its issues, it's a pretty solid game!

    The storyline is pretty generic zombie apocalypse stuff that's been done a million times before, but it's still a good plot. The gameplay, controls, graphics, audio are all pretty spot on. I love any open world game that let you do whatever you want, whether it's doing the main story mode, side missions, or just exploring the world at your own pace. The only real annoying things so far are how fast your bike runs outta gas and finding gas cans to fill up lol, the game does get repetitive after a while, and ammo can be kind of scarce sometimes.

    I don't really understand all of the negative reviews this game got from the supposed "gaming professional reviewers"?! Like I said before, it's nothing revolutionary, but most games aren't these days. Every new game doesn't need to re-invent the wheel to be a good or great game.    … Expand

    This game is completely amazing. The story, voice acting, immersion, and just everything about it. After being thoroughly disappointed by every major release of 2018 and 2019 to this point I’m so glad to have a genuinely awesome game to play. And no micro transactions. If not for the losers that come on here rating games a zero this game would be a solid nine plus.

    I am astounded at the amount of backlash this game has gotten from reviewers. I won't go into Xbox vs. PS4 but have played about 40 hrs. and have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Oregon wilderness with Deacon. The lush lived in, but still, secluded world compliments the idea of an Oregon based biker fighting for survival.

    I highly recommend the game if you love open apocalyptic worlds. It takes the best of Red Dead, The Last Of Us, Far Cry, Uncharted and others and blends them wonderfully. Also love the sound when played on my headphones. Kudos to Sony Bend!

The story, the flashbacks, and the dialogue in between missions immerses you into this world immediately, so you actually care about surviving and trying to solve the mystery in the story. The survival mechanics are all very solid, if you crash your bike into zombies you have to scavenge nearby cars for spare parts. Luckily, it's the apocalypse so there's abandoned cars everywhere. The first 10 hours are maybe the slowest pacing of the game, I didn't find it too boring but those who don't like dialogue in games might be pressing the skip button a lot. The last 20-30 hours of story are a huge roller coaster of emotion and action. I was captivated the whole time. Fans of games like Fallout or Mass Effect will appreciate the side quests and exploration involved. The only boring missions might be the stealth missions which are somewhat Ubisoft-esque and kinda cliche but the story captivated me. I'd give it a 9.5 but there's only an option for 10 or 9, so.… Expand

    The game is fantastic. The mechanics are so well done. killing freakers never gets old. You will often jump off your bike to kill them. And fighting an entire horde is one of the most satisfying things you will ever do in this game.
    The voice acting is so good. The dialogue is well written and the overall story was really enjoyable. The game did not feel repetitive to me in any way, shape or form. I got the platinum trophy on one play-through and that's so cool. The world is so beautiful.
    IF I had one criticism its the black screen transition from gameplay to cutscene and then back again. After being spoilt on continuous screen play from Horizon, God of war and Uncharted, I feel that Bend could have used this and don't understand why they didn't. But, it doesn't matter. I absolutely loved the game. I really, really hope that the sales do well and we can get a sequel.    … 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.
