    Gioco fantastico, non capisco perchè stia prendendo voti così bassi. L'atmosfera è egregia, i suoni e le musiche eccezionali. Anche la storia è ben scritta. sono a 20 ore di gioco e non mi riesco a staccare. gli unici difetti sono un frame rate un po instabile e troppi stacchi tra gameplay e video. Per il resto è un ottimo gioco.

    VOTO 9

    WELL DONE Bend Studio!!!

    Bugs and the occasional freeze aside, I had a genuine good time playing through the game. It opens with a relative weak first act, but manages to suck you in as soon as you get to the third Zone (the game starts with two accessible).

    The open world is beautifully designed and filled with threats of all kind. Especially at night, when the Zombies get stronger, random events or miscalculations can catch you on the wrong foot easily. Earlier on in my playthrough I had overestimated my fuel reserves and was stranded near a Graveyard at night in the rain. I sneak-stabbed my way through some random stragglers to an old shack on the far side of the graveyard and luckily found a Fuel Canister there, only to notice that a horde had cut off the way back to my empty bike. Thus an intense 15 minute long Journey back began. I ended up having more "fun" with this, than the actual mission I was originally heading towards. The open world with its hordes and the survival aspect of the game are, unlike me, great at writing stories like this.
    If you liked "The Last of Us" and hated the fact that there was no open world, this is definitely the game i would recommend to you.    … Expand

Riding around on the motorcycle is a freaking blast. I rarely fast travel because driving the motorcycle is too much fun and there's always gas to fill up your tank. It's more fun than riding a horse and not as dull as driving a car around. Brilliant idea to use a motorcycle for travel.
    I always get tense when I face a horde of zombies - I haven't felt that way playing a game in a long time. And you always feel so accomplished when you've killed them all.
    The story is awesome and has me hooked. Each time I finish a mission I'm always looking forward to starting the next one.
    The scenery blows my mind. I love that this takes place in the northwest because I feel like not many games choose this type of scenery. So fun to drive around an experience the world.

    The story is not narrated chronologically and hence may feel a little disjointed. Having said that I really enjoyed the story and it made me care for the two main characters of this game.

    Graphics wise, this game is stunning. Due to the limitation of budget and team size, some aspects of the game are not at the highest level i.e. polygon count, skin texture, etc. , but where it shines it the lighting department. It has a brilliant weather system.

    Gameplay wise, the enemy AI is a but weak but it being an open world game with so many enemies, killing the freaks was a fun experience. The shooting is a bit off in the beginning but as we progress, it gets better.

    Overall I really enjoyed this game and I would recommend this to all the gamers who enjoy Sony Games. It might not be up there with the likes of GOW, Spiderman, Horizon, TLOU, Uncharted, etc. , but it holds it's own in many aspects.

    + melee weapons feeling
    + progression system

    - LOTS of frame drops (im a 144hz 1080ti PC gamer and during the first hours was a pain to play at 29fps, but its the consoles world).
    - Loading times, even 1 second-pitch-to-black just to be in the same point but playing.
    - Not able to customize Deacon.
    - Boring storytelling at the first 5 hours of gameplay.
    - shooting mechanic when enemies are close yo you.

    Days Gone is the best open-world zombie adventure game. Superb zombie-slaying combat and enjoyable motorcycle gameplay are integrated perfectly with a well-paced story. But the game’s major highlights are the terrifying zombie hordes which are unlike anything seen in a videogame so far.

Os cuidados que vc tem que ter com a moto, pegar sucata p poder consertar os danos que a motoca leva, combustível p não ficar na mão no meio do caminho ou fugindo de uma treta.

    Me parece lamentable que la prensa tenga sus tendencias al analizar videojuegos. Es evidente que ante sagas consagradas, o IPs de estudios con prestigio la prensa suele doblar las manitas. Days Gone a pesar de ser una marca de PlayStation, viene de un estudio que ha estado congelado alrededor de 15, 20 años. Su ultimo gran juego(saga) fue el mítico Syphon Filter. Parece que a ellos no les tiembla la mano a la hora de crucificar y criticar sin tapujos a IPs nuevas de estudios irrelevantes o poco consolidados, parece que ahí no tienen reparo haciendo sus criticas. Bueno para mi el juego es de 9.0 y mi argumentación es la siguiente: La jugabilidad es de lo mejor, su combate melee me parece excelso y muy satisfactorio, las animaciones son bastante variadas y llamativas. Su gunplay es aceptable, los viajes rapidos tienen una mecanica muy chula que consiste en despejar las zonas de nidos y descubrir los puntos de viaje rapido, ademas tienen un costo de gasolina y transcurre el tiempo virtual. El looteo no es agobiante, los recursos son frecuentes y no es necesario recolectarlos seguido excepto cuando se han tenido confrontaciones intensas. La gasolina lo mismo, no es agobiante encontrarla y los galones son frecuentes y su contenido es ilimitado. La historia a expensas de que no he terminado la historia a mi la trama me ha parecido bastante interesante y con buen tono, nuestro personaje Deacon me parece bastante bueno y no es apático como algunos analistas lo han señalado. Es mas hasta las misiones secundaria me parecen interesantes aunque tengan poca relación con la trama principal. Bugs he notado pocos y no me rompen la experiencia de juego para nada, tal vez lo mas molesto sean las bajadas de frames en motocicleta, y la IA que en ocasiones deja algo que desear pero solamente a mi parecer en el comportamiento de los enemigos humanos, la de los freakers me parece bastante buena y bien representada. En fin, para mi este juego es redondo y super divertido de jugar, aunado de que al parecer tiene una trama solida y con un muy buen tono. He jugado todos los grandes exclusivos de PS4 y Days Gones es el titulo que mas me ha divertido de todos. De hecho me ha gustado mas que un juego que también me fascino y que fue RDR2.    … Expand

    Days gone shows a compeling story with great game mechanics, its important to consider that this is the first time that bend studios makes a triple AAA game and with 30 hours in, i can assure you that this game really shows a grounded vision and a lot of detail in the execution. This game really grows on you as you play along, at first you might feel that the game is like a jack of all trades but really doesnt elevate itself in a particular direction, eventually the game starts to get more and more interesting. At first deacon looked like your generic badass angry dude but as the game goes on, the protagonist grows in depth and you start to learn the layers that exist within deacon and also the other caracters. This is a human story and as you progress you start to get more and more invested in the characters and the world, this takes me into the world, its amazing, filled with great detail, incredible weather system and real gameplay changes depending on the time of day and the weather itself. For me the world is completely inmersive and has this funny thing that gives this feeling of mystery and suspense that makes exploring really fun and engaging.
    The gameplay is very good aswell, i personally like the shooting mechanics because they feel responsive but there is this weight to it that makes you think about your shots and gives a realistic sense of danger, of course you have focus and does make the shooting a bit easier. The stealth is solid with range and meele options and the traversal with the bike is really something else. By something else i mean that the bike starts feeling a bit unresponsive and sluggish at times, but that is because you have a terrible bike at the begining. The cool thing is experiencing changes with every upgrade you put into your bike and you end up with a great bike that controls really smoothly. That feeling of growing and improvement really does extend to the whole game.
    I think its important for everyone that likes the genre to try this types of games, fresh ideas that are not perfect at the start but set the vision for the future. I believe a lot in this game and you can really see the detail and hard work that the studio put into this product.
    I give this game an 8.7 because of some optimization problems and frame rate issues. This game deserves a try if you like open world adventure and zombies(Freakers) and for me, despite not being perfect, days gone is a fantastic experience and a game with a lot of heart.    … Expand

Great weapon variety, giving the player the choice of melee, ranged, or stealth, allows for some interesting confrontations as you move tree to tree avoiding a sniper because you chose to bring a shotgun with you or simply shooting him with your own sniper from afar.

    Some pretty heavy technical issues are the only thing that doesn't get this game a 10. From constant pop-in to textures not loading sometimes meaning your death as you careen head first into a boulder at full speed. The worst offender being that constant, and I mean constant, FPS drops when riding the bike anywhere near a camp or sometimes in the middle of nowhere. Patches have helped this issue some, but it's still an issue that can plague one PS4 and not another whether it be a base model or a Pro version.

    All in all I highly recommend this game if you want some good old fashioned zombie killing coupled with good story telling and an interesting writing style that seems to make all the characters a little more real.    … Expand

    Meccaniche davvero divertenti, mondo credibile e molto curato, trama ben fatta che incuriosisce molto a proseguire. Bellissime le orde. Peccato per molti dei difetti di cui alcuni gravi che con più tempo di sviluppo sarebbero potuti essere risolti. Ma che nonostante tutto, non intaccano il divertimento del gioco. Spero in futuri sequel di cui sono molto fiducioso, per questo voglio premiarlo.

    Gameplay obviously has its bugs but its a ton of fun bringing down multiple freakers whether you like smashin domes with your lethally crafted baseball bat to pin point headshots through focus using your sub machine guns. Hordes are the highlight for me, mowing down 100s of freakers with your pre planned strategy is extremely satisfying.

    The game looks incredible and does Oregon justice with how beautiful everything looks. There are the occasional frame rate lags which can be pretty noticeable but you play your way through it regardless.

Otherwise, it would be an 8 otherwise, because of the shooting experience (a 50 cal would easily do more damage and the point and shoot was not eh) and [Spoiler Alert!] you don't get to see Boozer, Sarah, or anyone really after you beat the game, that really bugged me... I really enjoyed the inside jokes and easter eggs of the East side of the Cascades of Oregon. When they mentioned Portland getting nuked I couldn't help but burst into laughter, Chemult had some almost exact buildings in the town and the fact there was a community college there was hilarious. The story was gripping, the ending was satisfying, the gameplay was realistic but not so realistic that the game was unplayable (how pissed everyone would be if the gas ran out at the stations or in the cans I can't imagine).

I also found the soundtrack surprisingly enjoyable and it really added to the vibe being set by the story and environment. The sound effects were realistic and believable. I also have to give praise to the cast as the acting in this game was phenomenal, I believed it all, I really felt like the characters were real and couldn’t help but empathise with them all, despite how little I sometimes wanted to. The only thing that hampered the experience for me and keeps me from awarding Days Gone a 10/10 score is that I experienced some performance issues (particularly frame rate drops), bugs and out right crashes that really broke the immersion but thankfully did not break my game, however patches have been released to deal with exactly these issues and at the time this review will posted future updates are planned.… Expand

The gameplay is so much fun: the crafting, taking care of your bike, and defeating freaks and hordes. The graphics look amazing and the amount of detail is simply astonishing. If you love the zombie genre, this is the perfect game for you. If you just want a fun open world game then this is perfect for you too. I hope that the bad reviews from critics doesn't stop Bend Studio from making another sequel, because this game truly deserves it.
    9/10 please play the game, it's great.    … Expand

    All I will say is that I'm enjoying the game and the story. Gameplay is fun a little buggy with AI sometimes but usually works pretty well. Great attempt at a new IP from the studio.

    Any game that’s had me hooked for 80+ hours is a solid experience in my book. After the patches, the issues are largely gone and the criticisms about the storyline are unfounded in my opinion.

    This game is great, not perfect, but it is not the generic zombie shooter game the critics make it out to be.

    Days Gone has many qualities and shines above all with its atmosphere. When we walk we feel this pressure form that will be familiar to the players of State of Decay. Between bandits, mutants, motorcycle fuel management, noise management, hordes, ambushes ... the danger is omnipresent.

    Narrative side and characters we are on the good, the protagonists are realistic and the stories are interesting and convincing despite some wanderings and clichés. While we do not achieve the excellence of a TLOU but we can not help sometimes think of the title of Naughty Dog in terms of the post-apo atmosphere.

    You can also use the environment, which will remind Horizon Zero Dawn to a lesser extent. The little extra is brought by the Freak-o-System that allows for example to make noise to attract mutants in a camp of bandits and cause a massacre without getting dirty hands.

    I liked: The heavy atmosphere, the characters, the freak-o-system, the random events during the exploration, the driving of the bike, the clear interface (radial menu), the richness of the environment , the beauty of the landscapes, the variety of activities.

    I liked it less: bugs (collision, sound, ...), serrated immersion, the rather crude infiltration, the management of gasoline

    Far from being a masterpiece, Days Gone is still a beautiful raw pearl with undeniable qualities.    … Expand

Lots of love poured into this game. I played on Pro...had a couple of bugs but nothing serious like I've encountered on other games. There was some unusual stutter in the final part of the map for some odd reason though?. I found Days Gone to be a gripping,gritty and well written game. Plenty to do. Great world....good varied missions and solid game design. Visually stunning and top class audio work.… Expand

A história do jogo deixa a desejar em muitos aspectos, mas ainda é uma história muito boa e agradável. Vale a pena conferir o jogo!

I think that premise alone is what sold the higher-ups at Sony to release a game like this one despite already having The Last of Us under their belt (it certainly did sell it for me). It left me wanting more by the time I achieved the platinum trophy, and with the dawn of the next generation of video games on the horizon it does make me anxious to see what Sony Bend can do with the next title. (with a bigger team in mind).

    Great game. The story was my main gripe: it wasn't as deep and emotionally gripping as I thought it would be (coming from someone who played TLOU and Telltale's/Skybound's The Walking Dead game Saga among other well written narrative-focused properties) and I did not see the chemistry between Deacon and Sarah. They had little to nothing in common with each other and it was super Hollywood cliché with the whole opposites attract myth. The deeper/genuine interactions were with Rikki and with Boozer, quite ironic since Sarah was Deacon's main goal all along.

    Also that plot point regarding Sarah's research was so predictable throughout the game, that I rolled my eyes upon its uncovering. It felt poorly delivered. It was that Syphon Filter reference (in the background as a collectible in a lab, mind you) that felt like the actual twist to it all (and the final conclusion to the NERO sub plot). I'd like more *crunch* in the follow-up game's narrative. Better context, build-up, development and motivation for one's actions. More tensions, cognitive dissonance and more risk, something that really holds a mirror up to the player and says "This is what your species can be, yet be greatful you are in the safety and comfort of a virtual world." It felt more by-the-numbers Hollywood/superficial in this game than minimalistic/grounded compared to other properties that hold this aura of dread, determination, and tenacious hope.

    Yeah, the game succeeded in leaving me wanting more. More positive than negative. I loved playing the game, very fun and happy to have been a part of it. It can only get better from here if they decide to do a follow-up. It must get better. Bend earned our attention, absolutely.    … Expand

    I’ll start off by saying Days Gone is a really good game. It’s not perfect. But it’s by no means bad. I just got done getting the platinum and beating all the hordes and really enjoyed my time.

As of this writing it’s currently at a patch of 1.09. 9 updates to a game with in its first few weeks is pretty bad. And figuring critics only got maybe 2-4 of these patches before launch I can understand their gripes. It just sucks it soured their opinions of a game that once fixed is awesome. So who’s to blame for that? Sony? I think the game needed a few more weeks of polish and i think a lot of outlets would have given it a 8-9 or even better. It’s currently my GOTY (though I’m still playing through Sekiro) it’s a very fun game. The characters are very likable especially Decon the main character. Sam Whitwer did a great job making Decon come alive and feel like a real believable person. Even though by the end of the game you can basically be a power house. With in the story he’s just a normal guy. The story is pretty good nothing mind blowing and has some obvious plot points but over all it’s a fairly good tale. I think the combat is pretty good. Once you upgrade and understand how it all works it’s fun and satisfying. Some of the game can get repetitive but honestly what open world game doesn’t. But I never felt annoyed having to do similar quests. I think the game went on a little longer than it should have. I have a few gripes but it’s nothing that really soured my enjoyment. Some gripes are looting. It can be a chore to loot. Having to hold down square and wait a split second sucks. Picking up the wrong things like enemy guns is annoying. Not being able to reliably find the loot you need to make things. Like late game finding bottles and other stuff to make bombs. Some story elements didn’t make sense. There were still a few bugs and frame rate drops but nothing game breaking at least for me. There was one moment where I was fighting a horde and the horde just stopped and I couldn’t attack. But I just moved out of the area and it all went back to normal with no progression loss. That was the worst bug I got and that was literally the last hour of my 100% run. Overall it’s not a perfect game but it’s really really fun. It’s charming and entertaining. And I really hope Bend gets another shot cause Days Gone 2 could really be a hit! And there is def room for more story in this world. If you enjoy really good games. Trust me you’ll like this. Don’t let the media make you pass this one by. Just look at the user scores vs media. Obviously something isn’t clicking between us.… Expand

    Got some issue, mostly graphic. But overall it is a very good game, definitely a 8, but I gave it a 9 just to boost the score up. Can't believe GameSpot gave Days Gone a 5 and gave Assassin's Creed Odyssey an 8. I love Origins but can not stand Odyssey for 5 hours, and I play Days Gone for more than 10 hours and it still suck me in.

The world, story and atmosphere in Days Gone are incredibly enjoyable, and achieves a very dense feeling post-apocalyptic woodland, very similar to The Walking Dead aesthetic. If you are a fan of RDR2, The Last of Us, or was put off buying due to reviews - buy the game. Just look at fan reception.

    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.
