    I loved this game!

    I don't know what kind of (maybe political) agenda all these game magazine outlets that give it a low score are following, but the game is great in so many ways. Great graphics, great story, fun gameplay, always something to do, a great soundtrack and a wonderful atmosphere. The game runs stable (never had any crashes, although i jumped in a couple of updates later).    I loved this game!

    Loading times are pretty long and you can tell that some things are maybe not that polished like in some other games - that's why I'll give it only a score of 9 instead of 10.
    But these issues are nothing in comparison how great the game really is.

    A game I really enjoyed, that fits great into a almost perfect line of PS4-exclusives!    … Expand

    Except for constant bugs and some moments of less than stellar pacing, I've loved playing Days Gone and think it is a much better game than others let on.

    I'm of two minds on this game. On one hand, Deacon, Boozer, Sarah, and a few of the more prominent characters were superbly acted and written- but the other minor characters were easily forgotten and paper-thin. NPCs in other series (Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, etc) have done better at putting personalities into their minor characters.

    Likewise, the story wasn't as coherent or linear as    I'm of two minds on this game.

NPCs in other series (Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, etc) have done better at putting personalities into their minor characters.

    Likewise, the story wasn't as coherent or linear as I would have liked. It got to be where I really only paid enough attention to see what would happen to Deacon, Boozer, and Sarah- not necessarily anything else that was going on, because a lot of it isn't super relevant to the plot.

    The gameplay was pretty fun- fighting hordes is a hell of a challenge and I enjoyed that immensely. The game makes ammo and such available but not SUPER available, so it's not too easy.

    By far, my major complaint about this game was the glitching. Dear God, the glitching. I pre-ordered this, so this was a day-one copy. And I swear I have NEVER played a game first-day that was as horrendously glitchy as this game. A lot of freezing, a lot of game-crashes, and a lot of instances where during cutscenes certain things would go blurry (Deacon and Boozer's tattoos, for instance, would get incredibly blurry where before they'd been clear and detailed; this was jarring because the games graphics were beautiful most of the time).

    Not a bad game, and I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel I assume is coming, but they REALLY need to make sure the game copies they're sending out are cleaner than this one.    … Expand

I even put a background from the game to my tablet lol, in case u were wondering yes I do have a phone too but, that's off topic............

    So, yeah everything so far about this game is really good blah blah blah u get the idea, love to splatter zombie brains everywhere, but the crafting stuff yeah.....not my idea of fun but hey.....................whatever, so that's why I give it a 9/10 rating ohhh one more thing that whole dialogue thing that u promised yup that's the other reason why I give it a 9/10 rating so take that lmao.

    For a game I have not beaten yet it is truely a good game, I have heard that this game is a long one too so, yeah I am expecting more to come when I play this game

    The game is great and very fun to play. Initially the game was boring and generic, but after 10 hours I was hooked and loving it. Defeat the hordes is the best part, they are massive and a real challenge. The biggest problem is that you will just have power to defeat the hordes very late in the Game.

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 a mediocre game through and through. Technically you have a pretty average graphics but with a low framerate that gets almost unplayable after a while. The UI is horrible with long press of buttons required to do almost anything. Shooting mechanics are clunky and annoying to the point you'll rather use melee to do anything at least in the first half of the game.

    Storywise it's more decent but the protagonist is the least agreeable character ever, you have no choices both in dialogs and in actions so you are just in for a ride with whatever choice the developers have decided for your character which breaks immersion and makes the whole story much less enjoyable.

    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.    … Expand

    This was the most solid 8 even rating game I can think of. It does not have the transcendent game changing feel like GOW but it doesn't need to if you enjoy open world games. It's a beautiful open world with a lot of weapons and tactic options (stealth vs all out force). The random horde encounters, sometimes even during an ongoing mission, can be hilarious and/or terrifying. Having to monitor and plan for fuel is a fun twist that keeps things interesting. The story has a lot of common cliches but it's still entertaining and the voice acting is excellent. The map by end game is HUGE. Bike customization is a little limited but nice and I wish the outfit could be customized as well.

    I don't have as much time as I used to for gaming, but I had a blast turning this on and spending a couple hours at a time busting up some freakers. If you enjoy open world with scavenging and crafting then I recommend giving this a shot.    … Expand

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    Days Gone is a decent game but it is not the greatest game you'll ever play. Does it do anything new that others games haven't done? Well, no and yes. It is your generic open world third person survival action shooter/survival game with a decent narrative. The unique thing about this game are the hordes of zombies that you have to fight. While they are a welcome addition, it all boils downDays Gone is a decent game but it is not the greatest game you'll ever play. Does it do anything new that others games haven't done? Well, no and yes. It is your generic open world third person survival action shooter/survival game with a decent narrative. The unique thing about this game are the hordes of zombies that you have to fight. While they are a welcome addition, it all boils down to manipulating the AI of the zombies - they aren't very intelligent (but what can you expect from zombies?). You basically keep running until they decide to turn back to return to their original position at which point they are vulnerable and you can shoot them. The biggest problem that the game has isn't the game, its that the game doesn't run as good. I played it on a base PS4 and the game lags extremely while riding a bike or facing a large horde.

    Now that I have given a short opinion about the game, we'll discuss it in detail. The review will be divided into four sections: the game play, the story, the sound design and the graphical fidelity (plus performance) of the game.

    The Gameplay: Days Gone has great fundamental mechanics. It has good melee combat. The motorcycle has good controls. The stealth is passable. The survival elements add a bit more to the game but never felt too tedious. The gun play is a bit lacking because of the recoil but it gets much better the more you upgrade it. Speaking of upgrades, there is a decent progression system with actually useful skills that you can unlock - seeing enemy through walls, making less sound, carrying more items, etc. The radial menu is good but sometimes i had to finagle my way through crafting some gear. For comparison to other games, the game controls better than The Witcher 3 (TW3) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) BUT not as good as Spider-Man or Metal Gear Solid V. As good as it controls though, the mission structure is basically the same - you keep clearing out zombie nests and bandit camps while progressing the story. The story missions, however, do have some better quality and variety to them. Overall, the game play is fun but repetitive.

    The Story: I won't spoil any major parts of the story but I'll give you a feel of how it plays out. The world is divided into regions and you do runs for camps for credits and trust. The more the trust you have with a camp, the better they treat you and allow you to get better gear for yourself and your bike. You want to ride North to leave everything behind and you need better gear - thus Deacon's story begins. Deacon is an interesting character to play as - he's no Geralt from TW3 or Arthur from RDR2 nor does he possess the range of these characters but his motivations keep the interesting to see it all pan out. There are no choices that you can make which heavily impact the story. There is a side narrative of how the zombies came to be which gets interesting the more it is revealed.

    Sound Design: It's just okay. The music is good during certain parts of the game but sometimes it feels as though the game is trying too hard. There is a certain scene where I had to roll my eyes because it tried so hard to copy other AAA games to the point where it was hilarious. However, there came another scene with basically the same script but this time, the music felt earned because of an important plot point that had occurred in the story. Another gripe I have with the sound design is Deacon himself. Although portrayed masterfully but he keeps on repeating lines even to the point where you have completed a quest but Deacon keeps telling himself that he needs to complete this quest - its hilarious.

    Graphics & Performance: The game looks great but runs bad. I played it on a base PS4 with HDR enabled. I had MAJOR frame rate problems with the game when driving a bike to the point where I had to take a break from the screen. It's egregious to the point that it exhausts you. Driving controls are good but not fun when you are constantly driving around in 12 frames per second. I hope they fix the frame rate issue because the game, when it does run, its a beauty to look at. The weather effects in this game rival the biggest games of this generation like RDR2. The snow doesn't just fall, it accumulates around you. It changes how you play. It dampens your sound. Your bike slides in snow. It's really well done.

    Verdict: A good game with repetitive mission structure and bad performance. The developers are constantly rolling out patches though so I hope it improves in the future.    … Expand

And while an 8 may be generous in most people's eyes, I can't help but applaud the ambition of Bend Studios to give yet another spin on the "zombie (not zombie)" Apocalypse while telling a story about an "any man" trying to survive in a post "End of Days (hence Days Gone)" world. There were times when I was impressed, even blown away by the ever changing weather patterns and shear number of bodies flooding towards me as I ran for a horde. Contrary to the common perception, most people criticize the gun play and driving in this game, but there's two caveats to this. One, there's a learning curve and "quality" curve that go along with using weapons in this game. And second, most of the reviews posted here and elsewhere are from people that never even made it half way through this game. Let me give you some numbers:

    Out of copies sold PSN records the following achievement wise:

    24% have actually finished the story/completed the game on any mode.
    26% have gained allied status (rank 3) with any encampment in the game (possible with 50% of the game completed)
    36.8% have reached Crater Lake (roughly 75% story completion)
    42.8% unlocked 15 skills (or otherwise hit level 15)
    73.5% unlocked the "Special Delivery" achievement (unlockable in the first 10 hours of the game depending on how well you're doing)

    So that means:

    - roughly 1/4 of the reviews/opinions have been made based upon 10 hours of gameplay (good or bad)
    - More than half the reviews were made by people that never unlocked less than 15 skills in the skill tree.
    - a whopping 3/4 of the reviews were made by people that never reached 75% completion of the story line.
    - and that same 3/4 of the reviews never even completed the game as of today!

    As a person that's completed the game and am currently sitting at 82% completion for achievements, I've spent my time examining every nook and cranny of this title. Fortunately there are elements of truth that can be pulled from fanboys and critics alike. And let me tell you, the final side of my review will be critical of the game.

    The coding of this game is flawed. Even after all the patches (as of this writing we are on version 1.11) there are still dips in frame rates when it comes to hordes and long durations of gameplay. Further, there are times were the game has literally "broke" on me and I couldn't attach a suppressor, craft arrows or pick up items. Luckily the autosave kicks in very often, but that doesn't help when you're in a "story scenario" and must restart from the beginning due to a bug.

    The story is also severely flawed. I'll openly admit, if I didn't want to see this game through to it's conclusion, the story would have put me off where most people gave up or quit. Most of the characters are unlikable, the character you play as is unrelatable and indecisive. The story tries to sell you on a huge narrative of a biker trying to find his wife yet it feels so shallow in empty. The characters never make rational decisions on screen which telegraph any tension they try building. And perhaps the most egregious thing about the story is a side character who magically goes from heterosexual to homosexual in like a matter of weeks(?). Was this put in purely as fan service? If you examine the dialog between people, this person is actually coerced into thinking it's "right" but she never shows indicates that she believes it's who (or what) she actually is. As for the rest, it felt like huge parts of the story were trimmed or completely scrapped. The story makes fantastical jumps at times. John Garvin, writer and director of this game, along with Anne Toole which did "additional writing" should be ashamed. How can you successfully make every single character unlikable and expect the player to become invested in the story? I'd like to know how the pre-production meetings went during script revisions. Leilani Ramirez was in charge of dialog and again, I'd like to know if John Garvin told her to explicitly direct every voice actor to sound annoyed, ticked off and agitated during their line reads. The quality was just awful.

    The story leaves plenty of room for a sequel, DLC expansions, etc.though with the gaming community largely giving it an average at best rating, only time will tell. I can say this though in closing. Had they been given another month to polish the game up (like what they've done through today's 1.11 version) they'd likely score higher. Let's just hope they have a different writer and director if a sequel does happen.    … Expand

    Never had too many bug issues myself early on, current state is fine though (outside of some slightly jarring yelling and conversations). Thoroughly enjoyed this game, in the beginning I was having fun and the deeper i got the more i was hooked. At some point it just keeps getting better. Great job Sony Bend on the first big console exclusive!

    This game is seriously underrated by the critics. It is much better than Red Dead Redemption and thy gave that 97! Did any of them actually play both games for more than 15 minutes. If they had, Days Gone would have got 97% and Red Dead 60%. It obviously pays to bribe critics!

    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.
