    I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Days Gone, and some of the mixed reviews out there are very surprising, this is in no way a bad game. The combat, melee especially, feels responsive and weighty, reminiscent of The Last of Us, and the gunplay is great.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Days Gone, and some of the mixed reviews out there are very surprising, this is in no way a bad game. The combat, melee especially, feels responsive and weighty, reminiscent of The Last of Us, and the gunplay is great.

    Using the motorcycle in game also feels really good, despite taking a little bit of getting used to at the beginning. But the mechanic of having to manage fuel, damage etc is completely in keeping with the tone and direction of the game, and doesn't take away from the experience in any way.

    Of course, there are some issues, and I have experienced several instances of noticeable slowdown on PS4 Pro, especially when riding the bike; as well as a few instances of pop-in while riding around, but nothing anywhere near as bad as some reviewers will have you believe.

    And of course there can be some repetitive missions, but what game in this genre doesn't have that? Far Cry for example doesn't get negative reviews for the many outpost missions, or the Witcher 3 for the millions of fetch quests.

    This is a long game, with plenty to do, however the story is great and really gets you invested, and wanting to see it through to the end, which I would estimate is anywhere between 40-50 hours when taking the time to do side missions etc.

    I would certainly recommend Days Gone, which to me is right up there with the best PS4 exclusives like God of War, The Last of Us, Spider-Man etc, and I'm hoping it does well enough for Sony Bend to develop a sequel, which I'm sure would be even better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Days Gone is something of a spectacle. With an open world at the precipice of a “freaker” apocalypse, you step into the shoes of Deacon St. John, nomad biker turned “drifter.” At first, he seems one-sided and uninteresting. However, over the course of the 40+ hour campaign, ad character focuses shift, you’ll understand Deacon’s pathology and come to appreciate the satisfying world that is Days Gone. However, I recommend getting every new update, the game at launch is super buggy but I believe that the story work and satisfying gameplay are worth it. Expand

    This is the first game I've ever taken the time to review.

    My reasoning behind this is because it deserves better than it got and I'm glad the user base is giving it a better score than the main reviewers.

    This is the first game I've ever taken the time to review.

    My reasoning behind this is because it deserves better than it got and I'm glad the user base is giving it a better score than the main reviewers.

    This was a masterfully put together game and if it had a couple less bugs I would have rated it a 10/10.

    The pros:
    A compelling story with characters you care about.
    Immersive world that draws you in and wanting to learn more about it.
    A complete game you don't need to buy add ons in order to complete it.
    I do not want to add any spoilers so I wont however each time I thought I was near the end of the game, let's just say I wasn't.

    The cons:
    Buggy at times - There are occasional bugs that make you redo quests for it to count or go off to another area so the triggers reset and spawn properly.
    Different experience depending on which version of the playstation you own, it's an intense game more designed for the pro and it can experience frame loss pretty badly on the standard version

    Other than those 2 cons this is the first game of this size and scope that has caused me to stay compelled to continue playing it through to the end. I've also never posted an online review before, however i really wanted to let people know that as a father of four that doesn't have much opportunity to dedicate my time to some games I love anymore, this was a game that made me find that time. I even bought god of war and spiderman after playing it and instead of starting a game of those after I beat it I started a new game on Survival mode because that was released XD.

    Hope this helps anyone that was on the fence about giving it a chance.

    Much better than I expected.
    It’s almost like The Last of Us in open world.
    Great atmosphere and gorgeous graphics.
    Very good mechanics.
    Shooting, stealth or riding the bike.
    Everything is smooth and responsive.
    Technically very good. Only sporadic drops in frame rate.
    Much recommended!

    Excellent title! This is seriously one the critics got wrong. Made my metacritic account just to share my love for this title. While It’s definitely not without its technical issues...the story, combat, world absolutely make up for it, plus the motorcycle is a joy. It’s a bit of a slow burner at first, but once you pass that 10-12 hour milestone it really picks up.

This is one of the best games about post-apocalypse in which I had to play, I was so strongly attached to this world that I did not want to leave it. Characters live and natural with living problems. The world is incredibly beautiful and interesting, the feeling of reality does not leave for a minute, despite numerous shortcomings and bugs, immersion remains at a high level, excellent gameplay, smart shooting and bike control, elegant progression and the motivation to play on. When I watched the gameplay videos before the release and the promo, I was skeptical about it, and a lot of people who did not play the game and now treat it the same way. But this is one of those games that you wouldn’t appreciate by the videos with the gameplay or reviews, you need to play it yourself, because a great part of your admiration is caused by those things that you cannot describe with words and do not show on going through, you need to feel it yourself. I highly recommend it to everyone. Expand

    I take the game Idea, and i don't think the "bugs" make this game be a trash! And the nada reviews doesn't match with the game quality. The history, graphics, mechanics and bike gameplay are all awesome.

    In 2019 I bought Days Gone on release. Due to several negative points and bugs it was a big disappointment and I resold the game pretty quickly. Now, a year later, I gave the game a second chance. I am so glad I did this. Bend Studio has been working extremely hard, which has resulted in Days Gone being a much better and more stable game!

    Positive points: - A cold, lurid world that feels

Now, a year later, I gave the game a second chance. I am so glad I did this. Bend Studio has been working extremely hard, which has resulted in Days Gone being a much better and more stable game!

    Positive points:
    - A cold, lurid world that feels enormously dangerous
    - The atmosphere I always want to experience more of
    - A long and emotional story
    - The graphics. I forgot how stunning it looks.
    - The drifter bike
    - Looting- and crafting system
    - Combat
    - Menu design
    - Sound design
    - Soundtrack
    - User Interface design

    Negative points:
    - A lot of black loading screens between gameplay and cutscenes
    - Character models of the people in the world (‘non-story models’)
    - Textures loading in late sometimes
    - Mission design could be better: sometimes Deacon had to drive to an other prt of the map and then exchange one sentence with another character. That was the mission? Yup, that's it.

    In the end everything is much better than on release and it is an amazing game now. It has become one of my favorite games ever! I went from a 5 to a solid 9.

    Rockstar nailed it again! They dominated the zombie-survival genre with their first try. No one else makes worlds so alive. No one else makes characters so unique....Oops! I just realized that this game is made by... Bend Studio. Ok. Guys this game is awful and silly and repetitive and... anyway, don't buy it.

    How are the critics so mixed on this game? Acting? Great. Characters? Unique and amazing. Story? Sucks you in and keeps you interested. Gameplay? Addicting AF! Upgrade system? Check. Regrets? That I didn't play this sooner. This games definitely deserves more praise than it got, and Sony should be jumping on the opportunity to keep the series going. If only all zombie games were this fun.

    My score is totally related to how I am enjoying so much this game.
    Even with some bugs, game itself is well done and the caracters, NPCs and the great story behind the walls give me all what I like most in a game. Ane off course! Face and kill hordes is quite funny!!! In my opinion, you will experience much more fun compared to others as Horizon Zero Down, Spider

    I can't imagine how you could possibly get more story in a game. I also haven't seen a game come along that I think is a real adventure. This game excels on both. Be wary of "official reviews" that talk trash on this game, most of them seem to have an agenda. It's what the players want that matters and this is a great game.

    Beautiful world and story. Long game with lots to do after the 30 or so hour story mode. The only thing that hinders this game is some frame rate drops at random times, mostly driving on the bike. Had no problems during hordes. Soundtrack is also very good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I read the professional reviews for this game and they put me off buying it, they stated the game had lots of bugs.

    I ended up buying it second hand and I'm glad I did - it's a great game, the start sortof puts you off, but after a couple of hours play it becomes quite addictive.

    It's just like Red Dead 2, but with very fast Zombies.

    The bugs are an exaggeration.

    The gameplay was really fresh for me and I really enjoyed the Idea of massive hordes and the way you could almost play the encounters (mostly with human enemies) either as stealth or full-blown action.
    I really hope they make a sequel to this!

    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.
