    Firstly, it is important to understand that a 7 or 70 score on Metacritic is a good score and not an average score as some may be suggesting.

    Firstly, it is important to understand that a 7 or 70 score on Metacritic is a good score and not an average score as some may be suggesting.
    Also on a number of reviews and blogs have consistently made comparisons in terms of quality with the likes of God Of War, Spiderman, Horizon, etc not understanding Bend Studios is not a massive team as those that have developed those successful games. Bend is a smaller studio that has produced smaller games in the past and this is their first venture in the triple-A market so it is natural they will learn and improve over time.

    It appears unless Sony releases a 9 or 10 out of 10 games they have failed.
    Yet, when you start playing the game you cannot fail to notice the beauty of the environment created and the passion of the developers in creating a compelling adventure worth playing to the end.
    No one from the studio ever suggested that the narrative would be as good as a game like The Last Of Us, but there is a story and it is interesting enough to follow if you approach it through the lenses of fairness.

    The missions, whilst at times are repetitive (and I have not seen a single open world video game that has not repetitive missions) are interesting and fun to make players want to continue to the end.
    The mechanics are good and have improved via the various patches released and the RPG elements (whether it is perks or bike upgrades) keep the game interesting and fun to play.
    In fact, when I read that Bend wanted gamers to care about the bike I did not think it would be possible, yet you are somehow forced to care of it as your life depends on it.

    When this game started receiving lots of negative reports even BEFORE it was released I decided to ignore the pre-judgment and have an open mind. Maybe this is why I have been pleasantly surprised by the game to a point I felt it necessary to come here and leave a review and a score.

    I hope the game sells well enough to give Bend another chance to create a sequel or a new game. Their passion and love for this game mean only that a possible sequel or a new triple-A game, given the correct resources, can only be better.

    Hands on the best weather effects, day and night cycle. Loads of zombie like creatures roaming the country side and especially the hordes make this game a keeper. Big thumbs up. Bike handling also spot on.

    Days Gone is a fantastic game that I almost completely passed on, thanks to trusting IGN's bogus review. I don't get it really...if The Last of Us 2 is truly the masterpiece they claim, this should be right up there along with it. In fact, I enjoyed it more, because the story is more epic in scale and the characters are voiced perfectly and with lots of personality and detail. Also, DaysDays Gone is a fantastic game that I almost completely passed on, thanks to trusting IGN's bogus review. I don't get it really...if The Last of Us 2 is truly the masterpiece they claim, this should be right up there along with it. In fact, I enjoyed it more, because the story is more epic in scale and the characters are voiced perfectly and with lots of personality and detail. Also, Days Gone doesn't depress the living hell out of you like TLOU2 does.

    Since I'm making the comparison between both games, I should add that DG does not have the level of polish the TLOU2 does. I got the feeling when playing that the devs had to rush it out before they wanted, since there are some areas that could have used a little more tlc, such as odd audio levels of the MC's voice...some being WAY too loud at times. Or some frame rate dips here and there. This is the only reason I don't rate it a 10. If they had been given the time and/or budget to have the same level of polish as TLOU2 does, I would say this game is as deserving of the same praise. Regardless, I found it more enjoyable.

    It starts off slow, and as each hour passes the world gets bigger and better, expanding the world of perfectly crafted NPCs, more variety of enemies and a huge map. Its perfectly scary, at times when the pressure builds because you are out of ammo or gas, and the sun is setting (when the creepers come out more) and you are far from a safe house. I loved these moments because once I made it out of a tight situation, I would breath a huge sigh of relief.

    The enemies are varied, scary and you never becomes OP that they lose their threat. I played it first on hard and it WAS hard. I must have died at least 30 times more or less throughout the game.

    Riding the bike is loads of fun. I really enjoyed raiding camps. I enjoyed both melee and long range. The audio was very immersive, the music was great and the gunfire sound effects were amazing.

    The crafting part of the game was ok. I'd say I found it more frustrating then enjoyable. Especially when you need so much kerosene in this game and one must look all over the map to get enough to make Molotovs and napalm for hordes, yet you can only hold so much. I wish you could buy the stuff because I would have kept playing after the finale to get rid of the hordes but didn't want to spend all of the time scavenging to prep for the next battle.

    Anyway, I'm so glad I didn't miss out on this and I hope others, who may have been persuaded by bunk reviews get around to playing this game. It's fantastic and I really look forward to part 2, if they actually make it.

I had a lot of fun sitting in the bushes and watching the tough freak do the work for me, scatter the marauders, then the wolves or even the jaguar joins to party. Technical part is good especially sounds (I used 7.1 in headphones). To sum up, I want to say that the project is playing very fresh from the beginning to the end. I liked it more than the popular Last of Us. In light of the latest news, it's a pity that the guys didn't get the green light to make a sequel. So light a candle and don't let the tank empty when the horde is breathing down your back! Expand

    The critics rating of 74 is simply unfair, it does not reflect the quality of this game in its current state (bug free). I played 50 hours and barely came across a few non important issues. It is true the story isn't a highlight and the driving either. But the combat is very satisfactory, great graphics, amazing world to exore.

    An Open World Zombie Apocalypse saved by remnants of a motorcycle club engaged in a romantic love story.

    It's story, setting and music create a very compelling atmosphere. Especially the memorable character's are it's outstanding strong point. Visually and accustically it's very good, sometimes stunning. Technically it seems the problems have been ironed out, just some minor stuttering in the later areas after long playing sessions.
    It's gameplay is very engaging, and it does well in spreading out it's upgrades until the end.

    On the downside, the main character is edgy, not always likeable and does take a while to adjust to. Quite a few things are repetitive like the lines when picking up items and how side missions are setup ... every time you need to clear a ambush camp or a nero controlpoint you have to follow the same procedure and it's inside areas a very similar. Ressource scarceness is a fundamental part of the game, which does keep tension and the non stopping hunting for materials up, but sometimes it get's annoying. The story background / world setting is kind of a new zombie theme variation and is interesting, but some background story developments seem very unplausible, like only having a few camps full of good people, and everyone else beeing out to kill you ... and once again a game without children and families.

    Overal it's a strong, but slow and lengthy experience with some very moving emotional story highlights and exceedingly fun elements like machine gunning down hundreds of zombies. This game has some major future franchise potential.

    I’ve been holding off writing a review and rarely review games. The reason I’ve been holding off.... to be honest I’ve been waiting for all the terrible parts of the game that seem to have been reported. Yet I’m now about 30 hours in and nope still absolutely loving it. It isn’t perfect, I have seen are some frame rate drops however they’ve never been when expected but when world appears to be loading sections of map/ characters but never when I’ve been battling hordes. The only other annoyance is having your character slow while having to follow npc’s Advancing the story. On the plus side though, love the world, beautiful, stunning, organic and most importantly interesting. The bike is a joy to ride, story and voice acting are right up their with the best games these last few years. Hordes are terrifying, sound design is sweet. Gun play while not easy is fine and authentic. Fixing bike and refueling aren’t a chore for me and only add to the setting and feel. For a first big entry of Sony Bend I applaud them, possibly tried to pull off something too big but I feel they’ve made a real success of it. I for one hope and pray people give this game a chance and it gets the sequel it deserves. If you love story, are a patient person and can push through the first ten hours or so the game really comes to life. I’ve now played the game through twice and got the platinum, yet they added new game plus (so now third time round). Also around twelve challenge games have been added. Horde modes, crazy taxi style, racing game modes all intertwined nicely in to the world of days gone. Anyone on the fence wait for a Christmas sale and buy, I’m sure you’ll get more than you thought. I’ve played for over 100 hours and I have relatively little time for games, somehow with this game it just kept me coming back.

    Sometimes the critics get it wrong and this game is definitely one of those times, thank goodness the fans got this one right though and it sold well. While this game does have a very slow start, it is chalked full of great and well written characters, genuinely touching moments and a fantastic protagonist. I actually cheered out loud at several moments in the game and teared up at the end. Deacon is a great protagonist who has some great one liners and absolute bad ass moments. Please Bend Game keep more “I am going to kill every last one of you” moments in the sequel – it made me feel like such a bad ass.

    The only thing keeping me from giving this game a perfect score is that I wish the side missions were a little more engaging.

    If you are a fan of long and story driven games that you can really sink your teeth into then play this game, you will love it. Also I loved upgrading my motorcycle – it was both fun and motivating.

    I got this game on sale, but I will pre-order the sequel without a second thought to support the franchise and studio. I want more Days Gone. Well done Bend Studios!

    Sony Bend has captured the atmosphere of a post apocalyptic world, where one careless step could put you within the grasp of a horde of frenzied freakers. Is Days Gone perfect? No, of course not, but as i said, even the untouchable Red Dead (which i love btw) is far from perfection, especially on the gunplay and melee combat, but for those of us who choose to forgive its imperfections and enjoy it for what it is Days Gone it might be a hell of a ride.
    Forget what IGN and Gamespot said about this game, their biased opinion should not stop you to enjoy this gem.

    At the beginning the game is a bit of a flat little plot because you have to drive back and forth as you know it.

    But when you get to the middle part of the map, the story finally gets wider and better to play.

    There are a lot of items or hordes to get.

    At the end of the game, however, it is relatively easy to defeat the hordes, which is a pity.

    On the whole it's well done.

    This game is great, if you are on the fence, i would 100% recommend it.

Definitely better then Fallout 4, Farcry 69 (what’s the Last installment) or some other open world games I have played lastly. Please make more games like this (improve a bit the story and the side quests please! Expand

    As a stealth games lover, Days Gone is amazing. The enemy AI is decent overall and the gameplay feels so good and unique, because the atmosphere of the game is so well presented. The graphics are good but it's nothing like RDR2, except the character models. Figthing different type of zombies and hordes is fun as hell. Sometimes you panic because the world is insanely random - you

    I just love running around looting and exploring. I though this game would make me bored like a lot of this open world games, like FC4 and Mad Max did to me, but I'm very impressed.

    And the story is one of the best, with great voice acting. Every character I met was remarkable to me, none one of them was like generic. Each one has their own personality. I love it. On another hand, some side missions has generic characters and bad voice acting.

    THE WORST: the performance of the game is terrible!!!!!!

    I would give a 9 of 10 if it was not for that!

    I will be honest regarding what I personally feel about days gone after playing it for few hours. And yes... my first impression of days gone... gotta say, it is amazing..If you are into bike, stealth and zombies then this game is definitely for you. It is absolutely fun to beat out zombies with baseball bat as well..

    I am pleasantly surprised by just how much I have been enjoying Days Gone after reading initial reviews. I was looking forward to its release but after the initial MC score in the 60s I decided to rent it. What I found was a game right up my alley! I love Far Cry, Tomb Raider, Last of Us, Metro, Metal Gear, Splinter Cell etc etc. I don't care if its "another" open world.

I love Far Cry, Tomb Raider, Last of Us, Metro, Metal Gear, Splinter Cell etc etc. I don't care if its "another" open world. Aren't non-open worlds played out too? Whats left inter-dimensional? I'm a bit older and don't always want teeth grinding action. I don't need multiplayer or battle royale (talk about played out) in EVERY game. I don't want to have to talk to anyone if I don't want to because lets face it a lot of people are trolling holes. I like the story, I like the characters. I love that you can play somewhat laid back and more stealthy.....if you choose. I love that you can go guns blazing and take on hordes....if you choose. I haven't come across very many bugs at all, let alone game breaking ones or ones that take you out of the moment. Is it perfect? No. Let's be honest even games that score 10 aren't. The animations can be stiff, the is some pop in, the motorcycle is a bit too loosey goosey for my taste, yeah and guns aren't the best. The missions themselves can be somewhat repetitive (what game isn't?), but it is the story and purpose that distinguish them. As Radio Free Oregon would say: "Don't believe the lies!" All-in all I give it an 8.5 (9 due to MC rating system and to offset zero score trolls). Expand

    I'm a few hours into the story now and Days gone has exceeded my expectations by delivering on the promise of the 2016 e3 swarm/story/exploration footage... Clearly the extra time allowed to Bend by sony in the oven has paid off and this game is a technological marvel and great artistic realization allowing the player to enjoy the higher quality stylistic beats of a linear 1st party game across a fully realised open world experience. Currently running 1.04 and haven't encountered any of the bugs I read in the online reviews... If you are someone on the fence of getting this and are a fan of TLOU/farcry then this game is definitely for you. Cannot wait to play more days gone!

    Game looks great and has lighting on a par with Horizon Dawn, great weather effects too. Sound is used very well to create a spooky atmosphere and the music is hauntingly beautiful at times.

    Stealth combat is smooth and enjoyable. At first I thought it was too easy but, on hard, you get torn to pieces easily if you mess up so I see why they weighted stealth in the players favour.

    Gunplay is good enjoyable against human opponents but poor against monsters until you upgrade a few things and get a decent automatic weapon. It's possible they wanted the player to initially feel helpless against a rushing group of freakers when you're armed with just a pistol. If so, mission accomplished :s To be honest, I think they wanted the player to deal only with 3-4 freakers at once, max, and to melee them, so don't expect great gunplay versus freakers on 'hard'. The guns have a great feeling of impact and real resonance, with meaty sound effects that echo through the hills and mountain.

    Combat against human opponents allows for many ways to deal with a situation creatively. Bear traps you lure enemies into, stealth, guns blazing, silent crossbow, sniping or a mixture of all. Rarely, you can coax freakers into a bandit camp.

    There are lots of Far Cry type things to do. Clear nests out, upgrades to find etc... Only you know if that's your kind of thing.

    The bike seemed too sensitive at first but I quickly got used to it and I enjoy the feel of it. I like the fact it's a mobile save point too, it's a nice little mechanic that leaves you feeling unsafe when you leave it too far away.

    I'd give an 8.5 if possible and am very pleased with the game, don't listen to the naysayers, or critics who judged it for political/cultural reasons.

Seeing the reviews for this game I was iffy about it. IGN and Gamspot particularly. I always take their reviews with a grain of salt but 6.5 and 5 review score usually mean I wont enjoy it. 7-10 I usually think okay awesome. So with those scores in mind I read a few places online and watched a ton of videos. All saying the game is pretty good. In my experience So far I believe the game to be at a 8.5. I placed it at 9 because I would rather error on the plus side especially the BS this game is getting. So far I'm loving the story. The world and setting is amazing. The graphics are good. I haven't encountered and of the bugs reported. Gameplay is a combination of other open world games you have played with twist. Like the focus shot and survival mechanics. Love the Bike and how you have to maintain it. Some of my coolest moments so far has come from my need of fuel and going off my path to get some. Running out at night and sneaking around. Stealth is fun not too frustrating. Gunplay seems off sometimes but I took it as Deacon not being some godly marksman that can pull off head shots left and right. Some great horde moments in the game. All in all I'm really glad I decided to buy this game and hope it sells well because I think it deserves a better critic response than it got. Expand

    1. Add Some more melee takedown animations. That includes different animations for stealth kill. You see the same one and it would be great if their were more because I barely use the guns because stealth is the way i want to play.
    2. Add camera option to pull back more. When deacon gets swarmed i would love to see whats is behind him as im running away.
    3. Add different costumes that you can unlocked for deacon.
    4. Improve on the blending on animations so that swinging your melee weapon feels more satisfying.
    5. Add more customization for the difficulty. Like i want the enemies to be harder/smarter but i still want to keep aim snap.
    6. Add the ability to craft ammo instead of just giving away ammo for free or having us pay for it in game at home base. It will give me more of a sense of survival.

    This game makes me feel like a Man, Masculine...which i feel is a bad word now a days. I knew this game would get raked through the mud by people that say they hate zombie games, they hate male protagonist and people who are loyal to other platforms...But hey if its worth anything i enjoying it and thank you for making the game that you wanted to make with-ought compromising, i know its hard to do that now adays.

    I can sum up the game in one sentence: Massive hordes of Zombies, and a heart wrenching backstory. This game was in development for a long time, and it took way too long to come out, but it is finally here. The game is well polished, albeit there are some stuttering issues every now and then.

This game was in development for a long time, and it took way too long to come out, but it is finally here. The game is well polished, albeit there are some stuttering issues every now and then. The world is massive, the characters are all voiced well, and the story is fleshed out pretty well. The game delivers on the main thing that it was always noted for, and that being S&#T-LOADS OF ZOMBIES!!! Wandering around the world is already kind of scary due to the loads of freakers and traps that rippers put up, but when you run into a horde, there is nothing else in the game that can cause that level of terror and dread. The main characters Deacon and Boozer are written very well, and their voice actors really did a good job. The customization on your bike is also very well done. It kind of sucks that there really isn't much customization for weapons. Now to move on to some of the games negatives. Fast traveling takes up fuel, which makes you constantly run the meter on your bike, even if you only need to get somewhere near faster. The game, while having a compelling story still is a lot of 'drive here, do this thing, then report to some dude to tell him what happened.' Another thing I absolutely despise is that credits, the currency of the game, are tied to their camp. An example is that, say you have 5000 credits in one camp. Well, if you go to another camp, those 5000 credits are useless since they are tied to that camp, meaning you need to get credits in the new camp. This can be a major pain if you need to upgrade your bike, but most of your money is tied to another camp specialized in weapons. Lastly is freaker extermination missions. While these missions can be very easy if you have enough molotovs, or have a ton of materials to make them, these missions can be horrid to finish if you only have one or two nests left in the zone, but are out of molotovs and their materials, and have picked the area clean of supplies. This means you need to head to a new area to scavenge for, most likely, kerosene. Other than that issue, I do enjoy extermination missions. They are fun, but can be annoying if you run into an extermination zone while low on supplies. Overall, the game is very fun and has a lot of things to do. The characters are written well, and the banter between Deacon and Copeland especially is funny. The world is massive, and the constant threat of freakers and the terror invoked when you run into a horde can constantly keep you on your toes. The world is very fun to explore, and the various missions all running alongside each other means that just driving around will still take you to a mission. The game can be frustrating though with odd things like linking money to it's own camp, taking fuel with fast traveling, and the random-ish nature of ambushes. All-in-All, if you are looking for an open-world slaughterfest filled to the brim with zombies and a compelling story, I would recommend this game strongly, but update it before playing seriously. On version 1.00 the game is prone to random crashes so be careful. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is actually a very solid one, when I read reviews from it giving it a 5, a 6 I could not understand how the same people could give a better vote to Anthem, but it happened. So I got curious. The Game has an Amazing Graphic and environment, it is a pleasure to get lost into it, there is always something to do, and while some cry "It is repetitive", well, RDR2 is repetitive, most of the Open world games are, some activities are going to be in this kind of games, but in this game your approach will change depending on the situation, it will vary a lot. It is not a Zombie game, as a matter fact the Freakers are living beings (like I am Legend with Will Smith) and their presence in the game is felt, greatly, you will be places in a situation where you know how to handle them at some point in the first few hours, only to be humbled by a change in the weather and numbers of them, and you will find out that they are very practical hunters if you do not flee or have the means to fight them. The hordes are stuff of nightmares and you will be honestly scared when you face your first one, same goes for the second and third, a small error and you will lose against it. The Day/Night cycle is amazing as the need for scavenging. The world is reach with events and missions that are not necessarily available unless you happen to walk there at the right moment. The weapons and how their quality change their damage output and performance is brilliant, you could have the best weapon in the game but have it in Junk condition, and just be able to barely use it. The crafting is also very interesting and let you stock on materials and items to use later. The bike is not just a movement asset, it does give you bonuses depending also on pieces you install on it. The bad part and reason for not giving a 10: The IA from human enemies is somewhat lacking, which makes the game enjoyable, but would have contributed better to a terror environment if they reacted a little bit more natural when finding a body (if they do that at all), I would have introduced the possibility to carry a corpse to avoid being spotted, alas, that is not in the game. Last bad thing to me is the shooting, it is not the best shooting I have ever had, it could have been better, but it does not tarnish the game. Expand

    Pustil jsem se do jednoho restíku, co jsem měl na Paystation 4. Tím restíkem je hra Days Gone.
    Pár údajů pro začátek. Hru jsem dohrál na 80%. Úroveň postavy se mi zastavila na levelu 35. Časový údaj v příběhu ukazoval 847 dní poté (hra začíná 2 roky poté). No a co se týče reálného času, tak jsem hru hrál kolem 10 dní.

    Otevřeně neotevřený herní svět je obrovský. Dá se rozdělit na tři samostatné zóny, které se otvírají postupně dle příběhu. Věřím, že milovníci motorek tenhle svět projezdili křížem krážem jenom z toho pocitu, že sedli na motorku a jen tak se kochali. Myslím si, že kdyby autoři do hry přidali rádio, tak by těch hodin tam nateklo mnohem víc. V rámci příběhu se totiž tohle stalo asi tuším třikrát. Kdy jste přejížděli velkou vzdálenost a tak vám soundtrack pustil nějakou pohodovou písničku a vy jste si jen užívali silnici pod sebou a přírodu, která vás míjela. Tyhle momenty byli opravdu super.
    Když už zmiňuju motorku, tak ta je jedním z klíčových aspektů hratelnosti a příběhu. Hrajeme totiž za bývalého týpka z motorkářského gangu a navíc když svět šel do sraček kvůli vypuknutí viru, který několik miliard lidí proměnil v zombíky, tak cestování na motorce je nejefektivnější forma transportu. Máme zde obchody, kde si můžeme motorku postupně vylepšovat nebo různě modifikovat. Také si člověk musí hlídat hladinu paliva, protože to ze začátku (než pořídíte lepší verze nádrže) velmi rychle ubývá. To je ale přesně ta nejzajímavější mechanika. Nejde se jen tak bezmyšlenkovitě přesouvat po světě. Musíte sledovat pumpy. Na různých lokalitách hledat kanystry. Kolikrát se mi stalo, že díky palivu jsem si docela slušně zavařil. Když točíte motor do vyšších otáček, tak o něj přijdete dřív, proto když jedete z kopce je lepší tam hodit neutrál a nebo motor jen tak „šolíchat“. Navíc při tankování ať už na pumpě nebo při používání kanystru jste stále zranitelní a může na vás kdokoliv skočit. Hlavní hrdina může motorku i jen tak tlačit, ale tam se dostat fakt nechcete.

    V rámci dalších mechanik zmíním příjemnou synergii hardweru a hry. PS4 ovladač má totiž malý repráček. A tak když jsem ve světě našel záznamy výzkumné organizace NERO, které doplňují příběh, kdy se všechno totálně podělalo, tak se vždycky spustili mě blíže právě přes tento repráček. Takže to zážitkově bylo jako bych opravdu sebral ten diktafon a poslouchal ho předs sebou. S tímto se váže jen drobná výtka a stalo se mi to jenom jednou, že se mi spustil tento záznam, do toho se spustil dialog přes vysílačku v rámci úkolu a ještě jsem chytil vysílání rádia jedné osady, které také doplňuje ten svět. No málem mi bouchla hlava a ještě jsem do toho bojoval se zmutovanými psy.

    Hlavní postava Deacon, je velmi dobře napsaná a to samé můžu říci o celkovém příběhu. Hra se pokoušela ukázat, co se s těmi lidmi prostě stane, když vypukne apokalypsa. Deacon prochází hodně těžkými situacemi (samozřejmě zůstává pořád tím rošťáckým klaďasem s tím jeho typickým úšklebkem a sarkastickým chováním) a všechno to působí věrohodně a uvěřitelně. Neskutečně to prodává i animace jeho obličeje. Jde tam vidět každá mimika a v těžkých situacích jde z jeho tváře vyčíst jeho utrpení a pocity. Vedlejší postavy takovou péči nedostali a jsou spíš v takové klasickém animačním standardu. Už jenom úvodní intro mě do toho světa a k postavě neskutečně přitáhlo. Nechci moc vyzrazovat, protože příběh je to hlavní v této hře, ale chci říci, že jsem s ním až na jeden moment neměl žádný problém. V tomto světě pobíhá šílený magorský kult R.I.P. alias Rippers, který dělá problémy. No a zakončení této části příběhu se stane strašně moc rychle, jako by autoři to chtěli co nejdříve vyřešit a pokračovat dál v hlavní dějové linii. To byla škola. Tam by se klidně další dvě hodiny hratelnosti vešli.

    Do teď jsem jenom chválil, tak musím i něco zkritizovat. Největší problém jsem měl s rozložením příběhu. Příklad. Vezmu úkol, proběhne příběhová animace. Dostanu možnost ovládat hrdinu a mám popoběhnout o 20m dál k motorce. Tam se mi spustí další animace, která mě posune někam dál. No a tohle se dělo strašně často. Proč tuhle část raději nevypustili. Díky tomu jsem pak měl takhle rozkouskovaný zážitek, kdy jsem si poslechl 10s povídání, sledoval nahrávání, popoběhl 5s k místu, nahrávání a pak získal zase kontrolu nad postavou. Nejvíc tomu ubližovalo právě to nahrávání. Někdy to bylo až moc často a moc dlouhé.

    Who says they can't make a zombie post apocalyptic game with 0 story. Days Gone proved they can.

    Who says they can't make a zombie post apocalyptic game with 0 story. Days Gone proved they can.

    Finally finished the game spending roughly 50 hours on the Story including side missions. Such a great game. Visuals look good, although frames tend to drop every now and then especially when tackling 500 + zombie hordes. Game can also be buggy at times but not game breaking.

    Sound is excellent, guns really sound impactful especially the .50 cal sniper you get towards the end and the LMG plowing through a large horde. Love the music, you can tell when danger is lurking by the music picking up in volume and intensity.

    All the 'pro' reviewers criticising the protagonist that he's dull and there's no character progression throughout the game. I agree, but that's what Deacon is. A what you see is what you get badass mercenary. You get a short glimpse of his change before and after the disaster. Love his one liners. Voice acting is good not great, you get Deacon sounding calm then hysteric the next sentence.

    The world is a very realistic setting of southern Oregon with real areas like Crater Lake and Wizard Island. A lot of mixture of terrain from forests, desert and snow. Weather changes and affect things like sound. It is easier to sneak up on a camp when a thunderstorm is happening. Day and night cycles also affect you plan of attacks. There are a lot of activities in the open world and LOTS of zombies, infected animals and bad people to kill. I find the open map much busier to similar games like RDR 2.

    The whole game really revolves around Deacon's bike. You can only save (apart from autosave) your game when your near your bike. It is your getaway when **** hits the fan hordes etc. Your ammo replenisher when you are going on a killing spree and your fastest way of getting around the massive map.

    Once you've completed the game and get access to the highest tier of weapons, traps and bombs, you are ready to tackle the Hordes. There are 50 hordes available once you've finished the game, you actually do 3 in the main story. It involves planning and having the right guns for the job (you wouldn't bring your sniper rifle) for this one. Don't want to say anymore but you gotta prep and study the areas and the LMG is your best friend.

    Overall, can't figure out why they scored this less than a 8. Probably the reviewers are all SJWs having a cry about certain things but this game really delivers to story and gameplay. Bugs and glitches stopped me from giving it a 10 but hopefully be ironed out with a few updates.

The game is wonderful, the characters are memorable (this is the first game in my life that I have cried), the quests are good, it´s very similar in many aspects to the last far cry series (open world, skill level, different type of weapons, not too many but good enough, side quests, base cleaning either stealthing or attacking them any way you want, fast travel, crafting etc). At first it´s very difficult but it gets easier but still a challenge. Don´t worry about your bike and gasoline, you will find plenty of it all over the map. One complain is that sometimes is difficult to find the elements you need to craft things, so it becomes sometimes a shore to search for, for example, an alarm you need to make a decoy.

    I have loved this game so much, that as I said, ended a few days ago, played sometime Last of us (a good game, yes, but for me, not as good) and started to play it all over again. I didn´t end all the game because of what I said about getting elements because I have a way to kill hordes where you need some stuff, but the main story gets you, it´s really nice.

    I really recommend this game to anyone who have liked Far cry series, Red Dead Redemption 2 (it may be not as vast as Red, but I like it as much).

    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 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

I gotta say this too, I thought Red Dead Redemption’s intro to the story was super slow and drawn out and people loved that and didn’t hate on it—so why the double standard? I just don’t think people are giving this game a chance. It’s a solid game and I don’t understand all the hate. If you are on the fence I suggest trying it and seeing for yourselves.

The closest comparisons i can think of gameplay and presentation wise are Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of Us. The gunplay and melee are brutal and satisfying, guns are loud, bright and give a realistic kick, while slicing and clobbering through enemies is bloody and visceral. Aside from that the motorcycle sounds amazing and feels great to ride, the soundtrack is both haunting at times and adrenaline pumping at others, and the MC is a pretty cool dude. Also it looks damn pretty. Expand

    I recommend this game. It was fun, and while not perfect It kept me gripped for most of what must have been at least 60 hours of gameplay.

    The story is compelling and really well written and acted by the main cast. This is a competent and worthwhile open world game with plenty of tense and varied combat. Pros: - Excellent gunplay - Biking is fun - Decent visuals and sound track - Endgame

    Pros:
    - Excellent gunplay
    - Biking is fun
    - Decent visuals and sound track
    - Endgame with hordes and overrun locations is hectic and challenging. Like being in World War Z!
    - Genuinely interesting main story. Main three characters are likable.
    - Hordes are awesome

    Cons
    - Slightly repetitive/unmemorable locations (there's only so many times a gas station can be interesting)
    - Not quite enough enemy types.
    - Too many side missions involving wiping out dozens of people for no real reason (i.e. some guy stole from us so let's wipe out his whole camp of 15-20 people).
    - Frame rate drops and freezes happen far too often, even on a Pro with latest patches (Sept 19).
    - Slow start with an awful bike and weapons. Story takes a few hours to get interesting. Some weird missions that consist of nothing more than a very short conversation.
    - Too many loading screens as the action goes between cut scenes and live action. RDR2 had none of these.

    Overall score: 8.5

    I'd love a sequel to continue the cliffhanger story, introduce more people from Deacon's old MC and bring some action into a city location.

The fact that this game saves so much for later on and has such strong progression makes the game way better, however as a result it does a terrible job at convincing new players to continue.

Couple that with a surprisingly great narrative and the gameplay loops in this game are fantastic. Plus the graphics are beautiful, and the weather effects especially are something to be seen and heard. A game that takes a while to get good, but by the end I was desperate for more. The pacing is a little off once you get to the second map though. Still, I would highly recommend.

Occasionally I bumped into performance issues and glitches, but not frequently enough to detract from my enjoyment.

    Really hoping for a sequel!

    I really liked the game. The mechanics are reminescent of a combination from Assassins's Creed, Witcher and The Last of Us.

    I've been playing the game for more than 80 hours now, and I would say that if you bother finishing all the quests, and enjoy the challenge of hunting down the zombie hordes, it's really quite satisfying When my kids see me battling the zombie hordes, they all

    When my kids see me battling the zombie hordes, they all squeal with delight as they see me hunt, run and assassinate all of them in slow-mo

    Who are those people telling about repetitive missions? Have you even played any Assassins Creed game, Marvel's Spider Man or Just Cause?
    Actually this game is complex and variative. DG is quite certainly viable product with tons of content, long solid story, many memorable characters, great controls, amazing graphics, decent animation and cool soundtrack. All the parts of this game are

    It was really hard for me to find any big flaws. AI is sometimes feels somewhat dumb, when marauders do not see a body under their feet. But, hey, have you ever saw perfect implementation of AI in an open-world game? Not me.
    Can I reproach the devs of this game of anything else? I do not think so. They did a great job - created a huge beautiful world, filled with tons of freakers, other survivals and animals and wrote a decent plot.
    They did not break a new ground of course. But who said they would? They just created a good game which will keep you busy for many days or even weeks.
    Yes, there were a lot of bugs on release. But devs immediately straightened out and fixed all the game's technical flaws. And now it looks and plays excellent! They keep enhancing and supporting it, unlike many other devs, who do not have any desire to fix what they screwed up (yes, I am talking about Spyro's Reignited Trlogy's frame pacing issue and RDR 2 problem with checkerboarding on PS4 Pro).
    DG works well on Pro. I have not noticed any frame drops or any glitches. Everything in this game works and looks fine.
    So, apart from some minor issues, like black screen, dividing cut-scenes and actual gameplay, or too long initial loading, I can not say anything bad about this game. So it's 9/10 for me. Not a revelation, but definitely not a failure.

    Amazing game. Once you get into it it's very addicting. Very interesting characters and a very good story. Beautiful open world graphically with a very dangerous environment. I recommend it to every open world game fan who wants to challenge himself.

    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.
