    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 story is great, not the best I've ever played but it's engaging and makes you feel for the character Deacon St john. 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

    Days Gone is one of the best games I have played in the past 2 generations. I saved the in-game plus just to be able to play it on the PS5 & once again it didn't disappoint. This is the zombie game we all deserved and ranks up there with Dying Light in my book and in many ways it's way better. Love this game!

    + Качественно выполнен байк, приятно на нём ездить, дрифтовать и его модифицировать.
    + Игра выглядит очень детализировано, красиво, проработанные локации, внутренности домов, окружение на высоком уровне и это несмотря на то, что она работает по обратке, играл на пс5. Очень красивая и приятная карта игры.
    + Противостояние огромному количеству фриков - орды.

    - Из-за того, что это версия пс4 есть долгие загрузки, порой происходит загрузка между катсценами.
    - Добавление совершенно ненужной механики с заправкой бензина, которая только увеличивает время без того итак длительной игры, сильно раздражает в начале, причём в сюжетных миссиях у тебя бензин бесконечный, а в побочках нет, такое ощущение, что разрабы могли убрать эту механику, но не стали. В конце игры нехватку бензина не чувствуешь, так как бак уже прокачан либо можно заправляться спокойно в лагерях, тк кредитов много.
    -Открытый финал, нет точных ответов.
    - На старте прохождения игра не щадит тебя, тк я начал играть на высоком уровне сложности, не было много патронов, запас сил тратится очень быстро, а убить можно только в голову с одного выстрела, иначе примерно 7-8 патронов уходить только на одного фрика
    или человека, привет Борис, патронов не много, а ты в свою очередь за пару ударов отлетаешь, что я считаю плохим балансом, также в начале нет нормального холодного оружия, даётся только нож, но с ним одного противника будешь год долбить, честно хотелось дропнуть в начале прохождения из-за такой системы.
    -Кривое колесо снаряжения, сколько раз я плевался, пытаясь выбрать тот или иной предмет в разгар драки, даже к концу игры толком привыкнуть не получилось.
    -За всю игру не запомнил нормальных композиций, такое ощущение, что их вообще нет, кроме начальной, но она столько раз повторяется, что уже приелась, да и при битве с ордой ещё одна есть.
    -Система дарк соулса, где кроме кувырка ничего нет, почему нельзя было добавить уклонение, тк это кувырок не всегда спасает от получения урона.
    - Кто-нибудь пользовался арбалетом вообще, зачем он добавлен, если занимает тот слот, что и снайперская винтовка. Арбалет даже с одного выстрела в голову не убивает, я конечно понимаю, что его можно прокачать, но чтобы это сделать, нужно прокачивать лагерь, а в начале игры уж лучше взять снайперскую винтовку, а про арбалет забыть, как я и сделал.
    - Тупой стелс в миссиях с Брайаном во время которого нужно бегать из одного куста в другой,
    чтобы подслушать учёного.

In Days Gone you'll play as Deacon, who after some unforseen events, loses his girlfriend. The rest of the game centers around his belief that she's out there somewhere (hence the title). Not only an emotional journey, but an engaging one, you'll find yourself using your wits more than your guns to outsmart both freakers, this game's version of zombies, and human combatants. The Oregon in this game is far less welcoming after what transpired than it's real life counterpart. What really stands out about this title is it's systematic approach to combat. A wild animal, a group of properly primed freakers, or even a well placed sound can be your best weapon in combat. Often times I'd just provoke a but of chaos and sit back with the popcorn as it all unfolds. This method never gets old. If given the chance I definitely recommend checking out Days Gone, it's a pretty unique experience in a world full of zombie games and you won't regret that you did. Expand

    It's like several people came up with different ideas and game design elements that don't work with each other at all, never talked with each other (was this developped during the pandemic?) but still put all of it in the game.

    Sony decided to shelf the IP altogether. I think that's a terrible idea.
    I don't agree that it should get a sequel either, or at least I don't think that should be the next step.
    It needs a remaster or a re-release, like a new edition in which they would fix all of its problems and everything that doesn't work.

    Your bike becomes an extension of you and the fact that bullets, fuel, and heavy weaponry are scarce, enriching your immersion in this post-apocalyptic world. Climbing and scaling is also fun and realistic.
    Enemy encounters like road ambushes and migrating hordes were the best procedurally generated gameplay content I've experienced.
    No level gating or grinding but player progression through skills is also top-notch!
    I enjoyed Deacon as a deeply flawed protagonist haunted by his past, a protagonist doesn't need to be a role model, the motion capture for Deacon is best in class.

    Now to the bad. Story pacing felt choppy at times. At times I was receiving 5 radio messages, one after the other. This could've been spread out by delaying mission unlocks more and injecting more incentive to free-roam, or by not allowing new transmissions to come through if you are 200 feet away from your GPS coordinates or a camp.
    I discovered later game content earlier than I should've at times, they could've just removed some set pieces and added them when the time came. I wish Enemy AI was smarter and, although Deacon's model is emotive, some side characters were stiff.
    Overall it's one of the few games I enjoyed getting the platinum trophy ever, my favourite game I played this year.

It's shockingly unique considering it's a zombie game - one of the most over-saturated genres in gaming for the better part of two decades at this point.

The writing is pretty cringe at times, the voice acting overall isn't amazing, and the characters aren't the most interesting, but the game itself is a great experience... for the most part. It's very buggy, to the point that I actually encountered a game-breaking bug towards the end and literally have not been able to fully beat the game. But I seem to be one of the rare few this has happened to, not bugs as a whole, but this specific bug.

    There are also a few weird and aggressive difficult spikes at multiple points. It's not unmanageable, but it's also pretty obnoxious. It's not hard in the sense that you want to keep playing for the reward of beating it. It's annoying and feels like they're expecting too much from you. As if the game isn't aware at how not polished some of the game systems are, and how that gets in the way of you effectively doing what it wants of you in scenarios with very little room for error. These sections encourage you to use glitches or exploits because otherwise, it is aggravating, and not in a good way.

    Most of the game mechanics are fine but driving the bike was a real pain, nevertheless you will enjoy ridding the rode and running over zombies or any other animal that you might find.

    No spoilers but from my perspective the game had anticlimactic ending, but play it and judge for yourself.

    This was an ok game, nothing more nothing less.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (this is my review which is being written after earning the platinum trophy for Days Gone) After hearing how this game was extremely under appreciated at launch i was very excited to jump into Days Gone. I was mildly disappointed. The story takes so long to get interesting. when it picks up it gets really good. but by that point i just want the game to be over. The story alone is easily a 8/10. but the games poor gunplay and memorable open world bring it down by a lot. The entire game is basically an errand simulator, running jobs for the various camp leaders. doing bounties, taking out enemy camps, and rescuing hostages, all for **** camp owners (except Iron Mike he was the one defend camp leader, rip) who don’t give a damn about the people in their camps. the first half of the games slow boring story is taken up by keeping boozer alive. the next half is still more errands until you learn that Deacons wife is still alive and you know where she is. the last 1/4 of the game is working with the militia to blend in so you can help break out Sarah. The last stretch of the game is easily the best part. Destroying the militia camp that has done sarah so wrong and pissed everyone off for the time in that camp. Even that segment of the game is held back by the terrible gunplay. managing the bike is a pain in the ass. that’s all about the bike.

    The idea of this game taking place in a post apocalyptic world is there at the very beginning, but slowly goes away the more you progress. With the merchants selling everything you could possibly need. Ammo, guns, gasoline for your bike, and everything you could possibly need in the apocalypse. If you want to play a good zombie type game. there’s plenty of better options than this, i would recommend dying light, or the last of us. Overall decent story, Terrible, unoriginal gun combat, lame open world, and **** Colonel Garret. 6/10

    Sony didn't have any marketing for this game, since businessmen didn't believe in it and now you blame gamers that it has low sales. Are you serious? If you had invested some money into marketing campaign a lot more people would have tried this game.

    If you looking for a review to convince you to buy this game - don't look for it, just buy it and play.

    Gun-play and combat feels crisp and rewarding.
    The power creep, as you get better gear, feels natural and drives you to keep wanting to try more things.

    Fighting hordes is the most hectic, exciting game play I've experienced in forever! So many "Oh S**t" moments that had me laughing as I ran for my life!

    Sad that critics didn't give this the chance it deserved, this is an absolute gem, a must play, even if it's not getting the sequel it sets up, and deserves.

    Played this on PC via STEAM, zero technical issues, incredibly fast loading times.

He looks like someone you would expect a flashback from whilst he is locked up in jail. Iron Mike looks like a farmer who was too trusting and got screwed over by Skizzy in the end. Boozer kills himsel. It was pretty obvious throughout the game that he wanted to end his own Life on numerous occasions. He was a depressed sack of **** who looks like he got eaten by an alligator in red dead 2. Leon was a sick character. They killed him off so quickly. Ffs. O Brian sounds like he wants to shag sarah. He keeps stalling. He keeps saying she's dead but realistically she's probably waiting for him in bed at a Nero research sight. O Brian is a little **** He turns out to be a new variant of the freakers like Covid-19. The girl who stabbed Sarah before she got on the chopper is the true MVP of the game. The name tucker sounds like the name of a male. But it's a female. Lisa somehow reminds Deacon of Sarah's younger sister. Lisa is a crazy ass **** who gets saved by a loud ass deacon from the rippers. Speaking of Deacon, this guy loves to scream whilst he is on his bike. Somehow can be right next to him and he'll still shout. If this game was realistic, Deacon would attract hordes after hordes and would be dead already. He's essentially a male screamer but still has his sanity. Expand

    -Soundtrack and SFX
    -If you liked the gameplay model of Horizon Zero Dawn: that's the same BUT zombies in the forest

    Special Pro: I ended the main story, I still come back to this game, as sometimes I do with GTA V - to explore, kill zombies, and make new strategies to kill more zombies - it's fun and enjoyable! It is definitely the type of game that makes you enjoy gaming again and makes you calmer after a rough day. Due to this reason alone, it's my top 3 games. I would definitely insta buy Days Gone 2.

    Cons:
    -Sometimes, just decent facial animations
    -Cliche start of a story, that eventually catches up and becomes a PRO

    *I played on PS4 PRO, after 8 months from the premiere, I haven't had any animation issues. I also played it on PC and haven't had any issues whatsoever.

    This game had a good story. I liked the characters. I liked the dynamic between the characters. I liked the game play. Was fun doing missions. I thought the biker world was interesting. I have a buddy who runs a MC club and I never really understood it. But kinda gives you a glimpse of maybe some it. Woke or no woke it was a good time and kept me wanting to play. My only criticism is the ending leaving you with sarah not solving the zombie crap. Where did O’Brien go after deacon lost the radio. What about the other evolved freakers? Lot of questions weren’t answered and I felt it left on a cliffhanger. There’s no dlcs or anything. Hope Sony switches gears and decides to make a sequel so long is they don’t go full woke and ruin the game *cough* last of us*cough*

    There is quite a bit of backtracking and running errands that are relatively the same. However, the world looks so gorgeous it's captivating. It's similar to the Far Cry series in regards to this perspective. Plenty of gameplay here to have fun with.

    A total failure and the worst game so far from Playstation Studio. Some even compare this to TLOU2 where it's not even comparable at all.

    The reason this game is a failure is due to bugs and game design which makes me frustrated like, how can a big studio with big budget (Playstation Studio) produce this kind of low quality game? It's not even reach a half-baked cake at all, it's almost raw. Very unpolished like you can see the developer even confused what they are making here by playing the game.

    Let's talk about bugs first. So many texture bug in the game, pop-in object, subtitles stuck and missing out of nowhere, levitating while in jumping action and more minor bugs which questionable like how come that have not been fixed yet until now?

    About the game design, it's the worst for a big studio. More indie developers are even better than this game design. I get it that All Playstation Studios start to create an immersive gameplay by creating an engaging story which include cutscene and that's work but not for Bend Studio. The most ugly design is the transition between cutscene and back into action. Yes, Ghost of Tsushima also did it this way for their cutscene but in GoT is way more make sense because they never insert cutscene between action or combat so you won't get interrupted + the transition is fast. In Days Gone, they force you into cutscene while you are in combat and after you out from the cutscene, you are in the middle of the zombies + the transition or the loading is way too long which kill the tension and the experience of the game. Cutscene is the biggest flaw in this game. Learn from your brother, Naughty Dog, they are the best at creating a flawless transition for cutscene, no black screen needed.

    The nest seems buggy but I do think that it's not a bug rather than a game design from Bend Studio because it's consistently happened that way for every nest in the game. When you burn the nest, the zombies will just pop in or blink, there's no animation for them to get out from the nest once you burn it.

    Last, the story. This might be because of my personal preference as I'm getting tired of every game developer creating a post apocalyptic game and it always resulting in making zombies game. Days gone is one of the worst in their storyline. It seems the game is cutting a lot of context in the game like they want to simplifying it but it turns to be janky. No clear context, background and characters building is just nowhere to be found. I'm sorry but poor performance from Voice Actor as well.

    Drop the game after only 4 hours of playing. I'm glad that I never consider to buy this game. It's playable and the shooting + melee combat works fine but the cutscene design and the story just kill this game for me. No wonder Sony reject an upcoming project that almost becoming Days Gone 2. Perfect Decision Sony!

    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.
