    This open-world, post-apocalypitic game has SOO much to offer. It has a primary storyline that is engaging. It offers side missions that are fun and challenging. It provides that “open world” free roam support. With multiple difficulties, you can determine your playing style. Are you a “slash/burn” approach? Stealth? Melee? Strategy? Or some combination? The game mechanics allow you to “flex” to your style - throughout the game, as well as for specific missions. If the game is “too easy”, crank up the difficulty (Survivor or Survivor II). Add in the challenges for a bit of gamification.

    During these types of #ShelterinPlace, Days Gone provides HOURS of fun and entertainment without the monotony. Get it now and get started!

    I had been avoiding this game since this was released based on its massive negative reviews. Huge mistake. Actually, the game is excellent. Very good gameplay and story. IMO, It is better than Horizon Zero Down, which is an acclaimed game.

    Меня очень порадовал сюжет, уж очень он интересен по крайней мере для меня. Герои запоминающиеся и интересные. Некоторые сюжетные развилки удивляли настолько,что я сидел с открытым ртом и офигевал.

    Стрельба на уровне, оружие хорошо чувствуется и создается ощущение что играешь в ААА шутер.

    Сурвайвал элементы порадовали. Крафт интересный и простой, в нём легко разобраться в отличие от игр которые являются рпг в открытом мире. А также дефицит ресурсов, патронов, хиллок еще больше показывает что это пост апокалипсис.

    В заключение хочу сказать что все кто любят сеттинг пост апокалипсиса обязаны купить эту игру. Я уверен что она не оставит вас равнодушными. Всем удачи )

    It likes a mixed of Red Dead Redemption and Far Cry series, I don't understand why the critic gave it such a low score. Beautiful graphics, smooth cutscenes, excellent plots, these elements give players a full sense of immersion.

    Amazing world, good voice acting. I instantly started the game on Hard II difficulty and it really feels like you are a true survivor. I like the characters and the story is so much fun. I haven’t encountered any technical issues yet, so I guess most of them are fixed by patches. Definitely deserver a higher rating.

    When Days Gone came out I didn't have the money to buy it. For a year I usually thought about the game and how much i wanted to play it. About a year after it's release i decided to buy it and I instantly fell in love with it's story, characters and the world. I'm more of a casual gamer and i like to just sit down and enjoy some game once a few days. But I couldn't stop playing Days Gone.When Days Gone came out I didn't have the money to buy it.

I spent hours upon hours just playing and enjoying the game every day. I got so emotionally attached to the story I cried of happines first time in my life.

    So, this is one of the best games I have ever played. Not because of the gameplay mechanics (well the bike riding was awesome) but the captivating story.

Sevgilim gibi oldu hayatımda, kimi zaman deliye döndüm hep en iyisini yapmaya çalıştım kimi zaman o kadar gıcık sinir oldum ki oyunu kapattım. Oyunun atmosferi o kadar iyi ki ilk motorla tünele girişimi hatırlıyorum ne kadar gergindim, ilk zombi sürüsü beni kovaladığında tüylerim diken diken olmuştu. Ve işin en güzel kısmı oyunda günler geçtikçe günlük hayatta Deacon'a o kadar fazla bağlanıyorsun ki soğukkanlı olmaya başlıyorsun. Oyunu hep ilk tünele girişimin gerginliği ve son tünelden çıkışımın rahatlığıyla hatırlayacağım. Hele o manzaralar grafikler hikayesi.. Olumsuz yönleri tabi ki var her ne kadar düzeltmeye çalışsalar da(çoğunu düzelttiler) buglar çok fazla var. oyun ilerledikçe konuşmalar sekteye uğruyor 2 dakika sonra ki gelişecek olayı o anda konuşuluyor ki oyunun heycanı kaçıyor altyazıları tutamıyorum bile bazen elimden o kadar hızlı kaçıyor ki 2 dakika sonra ki konuşma ile o anda ki konuşma birbirine karışıyor ve kelimeler cümleler birbiri ile yarışmaya başlıyor "ben daha önce bitircem hayır ben daha önce bitircem". Oyun içinde bekleme süresi de inanılmaz can sıkıcı olabiliyor oyunu oynarken şunu farkettim yanımda telefon olmadan sıkılıyorum bir bölümü bitiriyorum ve film şeridi gibi araya girmesi için instagramdan 3-4 kişinin hikayesini izleyip öyle geçebiliyorum, bunun bir de film şeridinin bitip tekrardan oyuna dönme süresi var. Her ne olursa olsun gülü seven dikenine katlanır arkadaşım biz çocukluğumuzdan beri bunu hep tuttuğumuz takımlarda hemde sevgilimizde o kadar alıştık ki bir şey sorunsuz olursa sorun vardır gibi oldu hayatımız. Days Gone 2'yi bekleyeceğim belki hayatımda ilk defa bir oyun erkin erişimdeyken alacağım ama alacağım.Bana yaşattıklarını unutmayacağım Days Gone :D. Expand

    This is a masterpiece of storytelling, open world design, enjoyable and diverse gameplay and stunning graphics.

    I found most of the fundamental mechanics about the game to be pretty good from story, action, missions, and the bike element but when put all together makes for a fun and very solid gaming experience. If you like open world games and have already played through all of the greats, this is a solid, often overlooked, game to pickup and lose 40 or so hours in.

    Overall I'd give it a solid 8.5 - 9. Putting 10 bc it's ridiculously underrated and the critics really missed the mark on it.

    Days Gone had me hooked within the first hour of play, the story is fantastic and interesting. The environment and graphics are great. If you're a zombie fan this game is a MUST. The open world is full of things to do and there is always something happening. The horde mechanics are awesome and your first encounter with one will more than likely get your heart racing.
    There are some fantastic moments in this game and the way in which Bend Studio executed them should be applauded, I don't want to spoil anything but these moments will stick with me for years to come. This game is such a sleeper it really must be experienced. If you have a PS4 do yourself a favour and purchase it, you won't be disappointed. Kudos to you Bend Studio, Kudos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So while i have a lot to say about this game, there's 3 things this game does well 1. Open-world: while I personally think The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild is a masterpiece and does Open-world games justice, Days Gone also does that with an Expansive open-world and with lots of stuff to do, while it doesn't allow you to enter its second area of the game which is like almost as big as Horizon Zero Dawns map, it still holds up to the amount you can do at the start, while its side quest maybe tedious or may feel hollow at the start, you do get rewarded with either weapons or cosmetic for your bike making your time not wasted.

    2. The soundtrack: Days Gone is one of the many games that has personally made impact on me and its soundtrack is masterful, it fits in well in the game and it gives the right tension at the moments of the story it needs to, it also makes the story impact even more when you hear it, making you feel the characters emotions and reasons behind what they do without explaining yet.

    3. The story: Days Gone made clap at the end, i was so happy with its ending, and even after how it started to end it brought back many thoughts to my mind and it made feel more than just a connection to the character of Deacon St. John but as if i had been through that journey with him at his side like boozer, and seen every single inch of what he did and see the hardships he went through to get to his ultimate goal. Days gone is a great game, it told a story that even I consider to even top The Last Of Us, while that a very big statement, i believe Days gone did a better job at giving us a meaningful story and keeping it from start to finish.

    One nuance in the game with the drawdown of frames and non-loading textures, but this is a minus rather in the inexperience of the developers, which I can easily forgive. I hope that Days gone 2 will not take long to wait.
    My rating is 10

    Best Sony exclusive i've played after Uncharted 4. The game is a great mix of RDR2 set in a zombie (freakers) apocalypse world. Also, it is the longest Sony exclusive game witch starts to really shine after 8-12 hours deep into the story. DG really deserves a sequel because the story ends with a some big cliffhanger witch left the story unfinished and opened to many interpretations.

    Days gone es un juegazo, cuando ves a 500 engendros en pantalla, ves el gran trabajo de Ben studios, es muy divertido y la moto es de lo mas importante, tenerla siempre cerca te salvará la vida, la historia esta bastante bien la jugabilidad es muy buena, al que le guste este tipo de juegos le encantará

Hopefully there is a sequel and hopefully the devs learned their lesson and release a finished product next time. Bugs and the sort obviously don't bother critics, seeing how they give Bethesda games high scores, They didn't like it because, regardless of the fact it has political tones that favor left and right ideology, that since it wasn't a pure far left circle jerk then it's not a good game. Very happy I played this finally instead of getting the Last Of Us II. Expand

    This is THE best game I've played. Period. This game made me feel so happy through every single second of it. Best writing I've ever seen in a videogame and incredible characters brought to life through incredible acting and amazing facial animations. Decan is the best character I've seen jn a videogaem. Sam Witwer is amazing. A ++ game.

    Despite an underwhelming first couple of hours, the game grew on me more and more as the world opened up, as I got accustomed the the gameplay loop and once I'd put a few points into slo-mo shooting. The reason for the latter is that the freakers really dodge about everywhere and it gets frustrating to miss shots and then end up in melee; the weaker, less enjoyable side of combat.Despite an underwhelming first couple of hours, the game grew on me more and more as the world opened up, as I got accustomed the the gameplay loop and once I'd put a few points into slo-mo shooting. The reason for the latter is that the freakers really dodge about everywhere and it gets frustrating to miss shots and then end up in melee; the weaker, less enjoyable side of combat.

    After that, it just picked up. I loved surviving out in the unforgiving world of Days Gone. I enjoyed the combination of stealth and gunplay. I enjoyed being able to switch between the two and the variety in combat situations the monsters and the bandits.

    The side quests often have on-going stories for the npc's involved and they are dished out at regular intervals, meaning you can't just blow through one person's questline only to have them disappear for the rest of the game. Instead, by spreading things out, you get to catch up on them now and then as time passes in the main story, which keeps things feeling natural.

    The hordes are great. Early on, they're terrifying hazards and, even late game, a force to be reckoned with but, as Deke gets stronger and better equipped, you'll slowly start to turn the tide.

    Whilst nothing Days Gone does is new or done to a level beyond anything that has come before, it does enough things well enough, with enough care and heart , for most of it to be enjoyable and varied.

    The exact ebb and flow of the gameplay loop is down to you, the player, so it's great to do things as and when the mood takes you.

    The main story has a surprising amount of twists and turns, even if it is sometimes uneven in quality. Most of the main npc's have strong, well-defined characters and the overall tone of the world has a good amount of moral ambiguity to it. What people have to do to survive, the decisions they have to make...the game tries to show people with all their imperfections and it's more interesting for it than a lot of what I see in games these days.

    Weapons have a good amount of variety, they definitely feel different and have pros and cons meaning choosing the right ones for the right job requires at least a bit of thought. Upgrading Deke brings noticeable, satisfying and rewarding benefits.

    The bike being your save point is a great idea. On harder difficulty settings, you genuinely feel vulnerable when you stash it somewhere to go explore or scavenge.

    Deke's character takes a bit of getting used to. He's a grumpy, messed up guy, but you can feel he's trying to change as he finally comes to terms with the reality that he's let this bleak world break his spirit - leaving him living a pointless life.

    The way the backstory of Deke is told is well done in terms of the segments but sometimes jarring given that it's often telling you stuff in reverse order, or simply a jumbled up order.

    For example, someone close to Deke says something really cringe worthy at one point. It's bizarre and out of character. 'What a crap bit of script', I thought. However, some time after another flashback, which goes back in time from the previous one, explains why this is. It then made sense and put a smile on my face but that doesn't change the fact that the initial flashback seemed poorly written at the time. It's an odd choice and sometimes it didn't work for me.

    The map is surprisingly big as it expands 3 times from the initial area you start in. I think my playthrough was close to 50 hours. I also appreciated the fact that after the main story is finished, there are 3-4 questlines that have one or two extra bits; to tie up loose ends with some of the npc's you've gotten to know along the way. Plus, there's an extra piece of story if you defeat all the hordes...it really set things up nicely (and ominously) for a sequel so I was very disappointed to hear Sony didn't give it the greenlight.

    Lastly, I'd also like to get the annoyance of some of those initial reviews out my system. Some of them were awful. Judge a game primarily on its gameplay, not the fact you find a white, biker survivalist unsavoury. Jesus.

    One review even said the Freakers all being white was racist, even though the game explains what happens to people's skin after they are infected. I mean, one of the tougher basic enemies are called bleachers. The clues in the name you muppet journos. They're tougher, (and whiter, hence the name 'bleacher'), because they've been infected longer. If you really have to criticise along the lines of identity politics (which you obviously shouldn't, you hacks) at least get your facts straight.

    Anyway, I enjoyed this enough to play through again a year later on Survival+ and may well play through again on PC. I'd give it an 8.5 if the option were available.

    My favourite game on ps4 by far. Even what should be a mundane task of refueling your bike is exciting . Open world zombie horror at its finest .Hoping it gets a re release on ps5 so I can enjoy it all over again

    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.
