Aunque en este caso tenemos "engendros", seres mutados por un virus interespecie que afecta a humanos,lobos, osos, aves... Una vuelta de tuerca a la clásica y rancia historia sobre zombies.
    ¿Por qué le doy un 10? Bien es cierto que el juego tiene algunos "bugs", en mi caso me he encontrado con bajadas de fps y retardos exagerados en la carga de las texturas, sobre todo al recorrer largas distancias rápidamente (algo que al principio del juego es impensable). Sin embargo, siempre he pensado que la clave de un videojuego es que tenga una buena historia, pero a su vez, que resulte entretenido, divertido. Esa es la finalidad de los videojuegos, conseguir que estés pegado al mando durante horas. Y ese es precisamente el gran acierto de éste título.
    Cada minuto que avanza la trama, sientes la imperiosa necesidad de seguir jugando, continuar descubriendo su mundo, lo que ocurrirá después, saber más de sus personajes carismáticos y sus historias. Y esto es un éxito complicado, considerando que puede prolongarse hasta las 40 o 50 horas si quieres pasarte todas las misiones secundarias, encargos, etc. ¿Cuántos ejemplos conocemos de mundos abiertos que duran demasiadas horas y acaban resultando tediosos? Tenemos buenas historias en juegos lineales como Uncharted, The Last of Us, Bioshock... Pero conseguir esto en un mundo abierto extenso y durante tantas horas, es admirable. Sí, las misiones secundarias (no todas) pueden resultar repetitivas, porque se basan en 3 o 4 modelos que se repiten, pero cada una tiene su propia mini historia que da una razón lógica para pasar por ella. Además, la progresión en la adquisición de nuevas habilidades y equipamiento, tanto para el personaje como para su moto, te animan a completar todas ellas y disfrutarlas, pues conforme más avanzas puedes abordarlas de forma diferente con tus nuevas habilidades y equipo.
    Teniendo en cuenta que no hablamos de un estudio particularmente grande, esos pequeños errores de fps y carga de texturas frente a la diversión e inmersión que proporciona el título son fácilmente despreciables. Por su historia, sus personajes, su progresión en cuanto a jugabilidad, su hermosa dirección artística (los diseños de paisajes son preciosos) y la diversión y entretenimiento que proporciona, sería injusto darle a este título una nota menor al 9. Por todo lo que he disfrutado, mi nota personal es un rotundo 10. Uno de los exclusivos de playstation 4 más recomendables, sin duda alguna.    … Expand

This is also the first time I've seen loading screens from a cutscenes to cutscenes, sometimes 4 in a row.

    Even if the game didn't have horrible performance issues it would still be mediocre at best. It has terrible shooting, weak stealth, and as basic melee combat as is possible. You can make those complaints about other games like the last of us (1) but they have characters and story to pick up the slack. This game's characters are unbearable and it's story is predictable but told at a snail's pace. I wasted money on this because people just couldn't admit the critics finally got one right, and I'm saying that having gotten it on sale for 20$    … Expand

    I did really like this game. The only reason I didn’t give it an 8 was because of its save game feature. Apparently you can only save while near your bike or a bed. Didn’t know this and wasted many hours in the beginning. Extremely frustrating.

    Juegazo. Al principio cuesta mucho engancharse, pero una vez que lo haces, no hay vuelta atrás. Buenísima historia, entorno y sobre todo personajes, para mí el mejor apartado. Lástima la cantidad de bugs y los bajones de FPS que si arruinan mucho y que aún tiene hoy en día, sin embargo si quitamos eso, se disfruta muchísimo igualmente.

    This game really got shafted by reviewers and I'm not sure why. Sure, it's not an AAA game. The gameplay is pretty basic, the world is pretty lifeless, but it has a story and characters that are memorable and some properly fun gameplay mechanics. Dealing with a horde was always a treat.

The way how you help Boozer to overcome the fact that he lost his arm, how Deacon's story about himself and Sarah develops, how after all Deacon St. Jhon becomes the lider of the Lost Lake Camp; all this facts show you a story that is not all about the Freakers, it is about finding hope when everything is lost, is about be the light in the darkness, is about remember those Days Gone.… Expand

    For an open world game, this is an average game. Mostly because none of it is original. That's ok but if you make a game that doesn't introduce new mechanics or game play, you have to do it better than others at least in one of the department, whether it be story, the world etc etc. I've seen everything done better by oher games and what they offer were not enough to keep me playing.

    Sony Bend turned it around with patches throughout the year that not only fixed a lot of the core problems, but added even more content for free.

    Days Gone is great. Sony Bend keeps their horde card close to their chest at all times, only pulling it out a few times during the 30+ hour campaign. Bend knows that giving the player the ability to take on hordes from the beginning (such as World War Z) will get repetitive and boring. Sony lets the player go from frightened to even take on a few freakers, to willing to take on three hundred at the same time. After 20 hours, the satisfaction of killing hordes is worth it. The payoff makes the slower opening hours worth it .

    As for the story, it's alright. It's no Last of Us or God of War, but it's not terrible either. Some story choices are downright stupid, but Sam Witwer's stellar portrayal of Deacon St. John and the stunning musical score make it bearable at the worst and amazing at it's best.

    Days Gone also features challenge mode, each of which are completely different from anything you do in the main game. There is even a COD-Zombies-esque Horde mode complete with a mystery box.

    All in all, Days Gone is worth its relatively cheap price of around 20-30 dollars on sale, the reviewers can't seem to get the fact that Days Gone is a good game. Don't believe them guys.    … Expand

Poor reviews are very misleading. Yes, its formula is a bit generic, reminiscent of The Last Of Us with the protagonist Deacon St John (Deek) on a journey of mid America surviving infected "freakers" whilst crafting items and the such, but I like these type of games; killing "freakers" and baddies, working for better weapon upgrades, salvaging scrap for crafting, going on side missions and main missions, and ultimately following a main story with interesting characters and narrative. It's not stellar 5/5 like The Witcher 3 or Red Dead Redemption 2, but still a strong 4/5, with an "open world" map to explore and conquer. I love the arsenal of weapons one can work towards purchasing, all with their individual pros and cons, and the unique structure of building "trust" with different camps to unlock new weapons or bike upgrades is great concept, as is the customisable bike, which offers way more upgradable features than Arthur Morgan's horse! Love the extensive main and side missions, peppered with lots of "freakers" (infected zombie-like humans), "marauders" (bandits), "rippers" (scary baddies) and animals (infected ones are frickin scary!) to combat. The emphasis on stealth killing is refreshing too, but the greatest and most novel feature is the freaker "hoardes". Unlike The Last Of Us, where zombies are single or in little groups, the Days Gone hoardes are frickin terrifying, and I defy even the most seasoned of gamers not to sheet themselves the first time they are chased by one! Talk about running around in state of perpetual panic whilst grappling with my sweaty PS4 joycon! We are talking groups of up to 500 freakers, yes, 500! Building up your weapons arsenal, plus required upgrades, alongside a wide array of bombs and other booty, all leads up to taking on these monstrous legions of infected, 40 hoardes in all. Strategising each hoarde fight, mapping your route using your environment to best effect, is very satisfying. The system of upgrading your Melee, Range and Survival skills, using Skill Points, sustains interest and rewards progression, as does upgrading Deek himself, with Stamina, Health and Focus. The "open world" map has fair amount of collectibles and historic landmarks to seek out, but not overkill like Assassins Creed, and killing animals for meat and harvesting floral for camp "credits" or ammo crafting, all add to the gameplay. My main gripe with the game, and I'm still midway through, is the interactions and warfare with other humans. They are so easy to kill, no challenge at all, certainly compared to the various types of freakers ("breakers" are super strength infected which are scary as hell and hence harder to kill). The humans are also thick as sheet, they have no intelligence (e.g. you can kill one as it comes round a corner, yet two of his mates will follow in quick succession) and learn nothing from their environment or your actions. They seem to stand still or typically reload their weapons whilst you bludgeon them with a baseball bat, hence rendering side missions to kill marauder or ripper camps no real challenge at all, but Hell, still kinda fun wiping them out, just don't expect responsive AI. Anyhoo, in conclusion, I'm enjoying Days Gone, and genuinely interested to learn what happens to Deek and his bestie Boozer (the latter is ripe for DLC content; likeable buddy who happens to be bad ass). And forget the stories of glitch galore; most have been patched and I've had none thus far. So get your best weps and go kill some freaker butt, :)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been playing for a couple of days and this game is truly disappointing, I've been wanting to play a game with zombies but for the safety of my wallet and so I don't have regrets, I waited for a sale and damn am I happy I didn't pay full price for this failure, this game should cost at max $20, from terrible gameplay to a decent story it just isn't worth more, first of the story isn't bad it's typical zombie apocalypse and a interesting audio collectible where it says only people with guns managed to survive it's really interesting and realistic, as well as the story about his wife and the ride with his friend to the north it's a nice story but holy is everything else garbage, the awful stealth where they show if someone sees you and if/how much they hear you is a sad attempt at making something interesting and original because while you try your best to hold down you L button and get as silently as possible to your target they get away from you, do a marathon, then 20 more come behind you while you move like snail and if you run just a bit they notice you, the stupid shooting system like Mafia 3 where you either miss everything or randomly headshot unless you stay still and wait in front of them for your aim to get accurate while they shoot you accurately, the almost never working interactions with NPCs and dumb programming where the NPC is just staying on your bike in the middle while they shoot you and then you randomly a talk starts about how she can come out??? From where??? The bike??? LMAO, not only that, glitches the character talks out of the subtitles, talks in Spanish when the game is in English, suddenly yelling in a normal conversation(happens way too often), the game is lagging and I am on a PS4 Pro, glitches where you are holding to pick something or talk to someone and your character just stands there gazing at the void doing nothing for 5 minutes while you rage for WTF is he doing? Boring and repetitive flashbacks oh and if you are a casual gamer like me normal will be too hard even tho the game has 7 difficulties from Easy to Survival II, because anything(basically the 1 type zombie and Rippers the only 2 enemy types) will 2 shot you while you have to hit them 6 times with a pistol to kill them and also you will be running out of fuel every 15 seconds... A small map for modern open world games but still beautiful.Really simple skills system which we seen in every game nothing bad here. And finally why this game gained popularity for its hordes which are completely useless since the zombies run faster than you. Basically Mafia 3 with zombies. I'm missing a lot of stuff I wanted to say because this game has so many problems its hard to memorize them all and I'm sure I will continue to see even more.… Expand

My only complaint would be that the story is a tad bit too long, not as long as Red Dead Redemption II but pretty close to it.

    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.
