    Comencé a jugarlo, con las expectativas muy bajas, debido a sus críticas, pero la verdad es que desde el primer momento hasta el final, no paré de disfrutarlo, como fan de la temática zombi, la jugabilidad y su historia me encantó salvo algunos detalles como la IA de los enemigos y algunas situaciones que caen en lo repetitivo, me sigue pareciendo un gran videojuego.

    I have lots of fun with this game, fight against horders of Zombies its outstanding ande well, I play hours and hours without see the time pass, and have lots of funs, Just dont deserve 10 cause of bugs and the slow in history progress, with some boring and useless missions, but it's one of the better games of 2019

    One of the best zombie game what i had played, great story, characters and soundtrack. Very nice motorbike feeling when you ride through Oregon apocalyptic world. When hord freakers is coming for you do you feel adrenaline in your veins.

    At first you don’t like it but after a while when you relate to the atmosphere (which is the most inportant thing in every game, tv show or movie) you end up liking this. Everything get better even the visuals and story. Also the gameplay will make sense after a while and the post apocalypse theme kicks. It is not perfect but one of the “must-play”s.

    Maybe it doesn't have a plot like the last of us and not all decisions made in this game are perfect....but it was worth nearly every second of playing. The story has many twists and is not always easy to predict beforehand. Pair this up with a decent gameplay and a superb looking openworld and also with more than a dozen of remarkable characters and you will have a goot time playing this.

    I usually don't like these kind of games, but that is really well made, in my point of view. I just switched to PS4 and boy, these exclusives are so nice compared to the Xbox ones. Gameplay is fluid, the story (not all done) has rich characters and is exciting. For me, this is the RDR2 of all post apocalyptic games i've played so far. (I have not played L4D yet..)

    Let me start by saying this game is underrated. This is not a zombie game, sure there are alot of zombies,but, the story doesn't make you feel like you are playing a zombie game. Like every game this has its own flaws too. But the postive weights over those flaws.

    Yo no lo compraba por las criticas tan fuertes que habia recibido el juego, pero lo hice y me lleve una grata sorpresa. Es cierto que aun quedan algunos bugs pero nada que no haya visto en algun otro juego. La historia empieza lenta pero poco a poco va agarrando ritmo y cierra muy bien. Tambien es cierto que hay misiones repetitivas pero a mi parecer son divertidas. Muy buen juego, lo recomiendo.

    This is a really good game, with a few minor letdowns. Story is good and realistic, music is fitting, gameplay is balanced and more or less lasts well the whole game. Hordes is really fun to kill. It's too shame that they're refusing to make a sequel, that game deserves it, and I really look forward to see it.

    Politics in the Video Game industry. That's why this game got so low of a critical review. I'm about 30h in and loving it. Some frame rate drops while on the bike, but aside from that it's solid. The story is compelling, and the world just feels alive. Great game.

    I don’t understand why the media gave such a low marks on this game, I love the story , the graphic is fantastic, the gun play isn’t the call of duty type , but it is more slow pace and realistic. People should really buy the game and support a good studio so that they can continue to product the next good game for us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, this is my first review ever of anything really, and i just want to say that this game has knocked it out of the park.
    The story behind how these zombies came to be and their use of nests and it all tying to the games mechanic is just so riveting, even the character's themselves.
    PRO's:
    - Great gun play
    - Great story
    - Awesome character's and their progression through out the gameplay
    - Mission's in this game are some of the best i've expirianced in a long time.
    - You can make your own cool ass bike ;)
    - Zombie hordes finally.
    CON's:
    - Not much choice in where the story can go, and how you the main character can influance other characters within the story itself beyound what is scripted.
    - Enemy AI doesnt feel as responsive sometimes, and leaves things to be desired.
    - Skizzo, backstabbing son of a gun.    … Expand

There are elements in this game that I've never personally seen before, and the way they mix the cinematic and audio elements with gameplay at times is both heart-wrenchingly beautiful and immensely successful in further investing you in the story. I was truly sad to see it end.

    The story while a bit of a slow mover initially is one that will soon have you gripped and wanting to push on to see what lies around the corner. You can tell a lot of time and thought went into Deacons past and present alongside that of the supporting cast who all have a little bit of baggage from the apocalypse. The voice acting is believable and really does feel like all who were attached this game put in their all to create this great spectacle.
    Some of the side missions feel very similar in their core but the way the world around comes to life the fun thing can be taking a camp down in so many ways, stealth, all guns blazing, use the horde or even the wildlife to add some spice to how you play the game.
    Combat is a simple over the shoulder 3rd person view and is simple to use both whether using range or melee weaponry. There are all manor of hand guns, msgs, rifles etc. plus the crossbow, lots of melee weapons of which some can be played around with and upgraded for greater damage and durability.

    Overall I would say it is a solid 9 out of 10 and very much worth your time and money to dive deep into the Oregon wilderness. I honestly feel that any negative reviews are from people who didn't get deeper into the game where the story opens up alongside other great new gameplay mechanics and areas which can only be accessed through progression.

    Beautiful world. Great graphic and sound. Dragged but you don't want to leave this game especially if you love zombie game. Satisfy if you can kill all the large zombie. Story wise is good.

    to be honest i wasn't so hyped for days gone, it looked generic and didn't draw my attention until lately,
    with the ps5 FPS cap unlocked and after 2 years of patches i can say this is one of my favorite Playstation exclusives ever and i didnt know how to continue with my life after i've finished the game
    the pros: - The story is beautiful and emotional, i really liked the concept of    to be honest i wasn't so hyped for days gone, it looked generic and didn't draw my attention until lately,
    with the ps5 FPS cap unlocked and after 2 years of patches i can say this is one of my favorite Playstation exclusives ever and i didnt know how to continue with my life after i've finished the game

    the pros:

    - The story is beautiful and emotional, i really liked the concept of searching for your loved one and while doing it discovering the horrible truth about the virus and how it affects the environment

    - splitting story lines is a grasp of fresh air for me honestly, having multiple missions that each gives engages you with different characters and trying to deal with their problems really keeps you interested into playing more

    - characters are super interesting and likeable, specially boozer and sarah, Days gone manages to make me fall in-love with deacons wife sarah, shes the main reason you keep on pushing through the story and you feel committed into reuniting deacon with his past.

    - survival mechanics and the bike maintenance was super immersive for me, searching for fuel in the middle of the night with a horde breathing on your neck is blood pumping and encouraging you into playing stealthy and reminds you that you're not invincible and danger is always near.

    - driving, they definitely nailed the feeling and the control of your vehicle , the sense of progression and constantly upgrading your bike becomes an obsession and you feel more bad ass at the end of the game when you have your bike fully upgraded and ready to roll

    - shooting doesn't do anything new or exciting, it may feel clunky at first, but once you get used to the recoil and accuracy of the weapons, it becomes easy to use and the variety of weapons is huge, you have a weapon for every situation - taking on hordes, or killing special freaks with ease? its all up to you.

    - the horde is definitely the best part about the game, while at the beginning of the game you feel hunted, and weak to take on the hordes but once you get strong enough, they are the true end-game bosses and it will surely keep you on your toes and test your wits and strategy skills.

    -skill trees are simple yet rewarding, giving you the sense of progression with every activity you do , you will notice how fluently the melee, shooting and surviving mechanics feels, the more you play- the stronger you get

    the cons:

    - the bugs: even now, in 2021 there are some bugs present in the version of the game (PS5) but nothing game breaking or frustrating, in all my 70 hours playtime i only encountered a handful of bugs regarding quest progression or mechanic (such as taking ammo from your bike inventory)
    and only 1 hard crash, luckily with the generous auto-save system, you get back right where you left on.

    - the driving bounties feels off, and the chase is just not fun, for me it felt clunky and a chore to go through : auto locking while driving close and spamming R2 until it blows up just isn't fun and they surely could've improved on that aspect.

    - some of the side missions become repetitive and after a few of those you've seen it all, it mostly consist of either bike chase, killing a bounty at camp, or saving someone from a camp. rinse and repeat.

    - tracking mechanic feels boring and copy paste from The Witcher 3, its predictable and most of the time is unnecessary since you know where you should go without tracking.

    -finally, the pacing of Days gone is really bad, it will take you around 20 hours until the game truly begins to shine and show its full potential , most of the people quit in the first act just because of its pacing but i genuinely recommend you to stick with the game and one you get to the second act, it feels like a different game with all the weapons beginning to unlock, all the bike upgrades available and more activity / story-lines opening up.

    overall, i really liked this game, will begin my second playthrough soon on Survival 2 just to experience the game again on the hardest difficulty without the grind for weapons and bike upgrades.
    my final score is 9/10 , truly amazing masterpiece and its worth a go! especially if you own a PS5 and PS plus you can get this game for free on the PS Plus Collection!    … Expand

Despite all the games painful technical issues and clunky mechanics such as its gunplay, I still found Days Gone’s story to be great filled with memorable moments and set pieces. I found that whatever way the game wanted you to feel you felt it, if the game wanted you to feel anger I did, feel, happiness I did. Even though the mission design sometimes felt very repetitive I feel as it didn’t deviate away from the story line, it all ties in. It has some spectacular set pieces, visuals and characters and their relationship with the protagonist which is why I hold it in such high praise, that and for many other things I give it the 9/10 and Willis highly recommend if you haven’t already, to play this game trust me since it’s release about a year ago it has come a long way… Expand

The survival, and strategy and available options and decisions you can make to have the game play out as you want. The story, the play through, the suspense, everything about this game is honestly incredible.

    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.
