    Best game I ever played in my life!!!

    By the way the guys giving it bad scores are literally XBOX FANBOYS

    He gave days gone a 0 but Crackdown a 10.. gotta love this Frauds XD

    This game right here better than Xbox and their cartoon shiit games.

Taking on a horde after some careful planning and barely surviving the encounter may go down as one of the most exciting moments I've ever experienced in gaming!

    Better than the latest open world games from ubisoft or similar publishers. BTW OPTIMIZATION IS CRAP.

If playing PS4 games as there were supposed to be (my Pro's noise sent me to Series X) then I'm happy to by working my way through the back catalogue (not you TLOU2 again/which Days gone beats in almost every way). Thank you Digital Foundry for getting me to download a game I'd dismissed due to reviewers, even when a friend said it was one of the best games he's played. I'm still only 30% complete (!!!!) and it has already had plenty of gob smacking emotions with a cast of characters that are varied, interesting and well fleshed out. An easy 10 out of 10 (on PS5).… Expand

    One of the best exclusives on the PS4. Bend studios did a great job with this game. If you like zombie games this is your game. The story is good, gameplay is awesome (there are a few bugs here and there but not a big deal), graphics are amazing. Deacon has the potential to be one of the most iconic protagonists on the playstation console. For me personally this game is 10/10.

    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?

But you know what? The game gets a LOT better the more you play. It's as good as any AAA open world title out there. Kind of reminds me of a cross between Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption.

    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.
    Give this game a try, you won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    Update: Changed my score from 8 to 10. Have finished the game and, well, I just don't get the gripes people have. On the PS4 Pro, I didn't experience bugs.

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

    Also, it's not a generic game, it has a lot of personality and does a lot of things right. Exploring the world is amazing and the horde system is very innovative and fun. 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 don't get all those bad reviews. This game is great! You have a hole trade system and rewards for killing zombies and getting bounties. All the combat system is very smooth and feel right to me. I think this what happens when the game is exclusive for Sony, like Horizon that should get 9 or 10 this game should easily get 8-10 score.

    Gaming journalism is not relevant anymore. Days Gone is a very good game in all aspects and many of these people from huge rich brands gave low score to the game for "feminists" and "politics" reason, without pay attention in aspects of gameplay. I did play the game and did find it awesome. The world is incredible, the characters full of life, the gameplay is very diverse, and story is intense.

    This game gives me the best time I've had since The Last Of Us.

    I read somewhere that if TLOU and Farcry had a child it would be Days Gone.
    That's pretty accurate.

    It has its flaws, I had a couple of frustrating moments where freakers just popped up at a place I just cleared a couple of seconds ago, I had some weird bike crashes that shouldn't be, the stealth mechanic is a bit weird but nothing that is gamebreaking!

    I'm about 10h into the game so I didn't see it all yet but from what i've seen so far, I guess I have a pretty good overall taste.

    Also, I don't know why people say the story/characters/voice acting is bad...
    It's a bit cliché but hey, it's not "BAD" for that matter!

    If I was very very critic myself I'd give the game ±8,5 but since it came at such a pleasant surprise and it's sooooo much better than what the critics make us believe, I give it a 10!

    I know a game is great when as much as I don't wanna put the controller down, I want to play it in very frequent, little sessions to make it last as long as possible! Days Gone gives me that feeling!    … 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.
