    It's almost The Last of Us - the open-world game. The writing, characters and dialogue just aren't quite up to Naughty Dog standards. The generic quest design lets the game down a bit, but other than that it's a very enjoyable and atmospheric open-world game. Bike and combat mechanics work well and the zombie hordes are intimidating. The hardcore challenge mode is another outstanding feature.

    This game is proof of how you should play a game for yourself and not trust reviews. I really enjoyed playing days gone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I ended up buying this game after I watched a few videos showing how much it improved. Overall it's a great game. If I was to imagine what a post apocalyptical open world infected zombie game would be, it would be pretty close to this. The game does a great job immersing the player into the world. It's fun to drive around on my hog and see what's going on. A lot of the characters are spot on representations. From people who have been waiting all their lives for some end of the world stuff to happen. To others doing their best to protect the people. Everything this game does, it does it well. Shooting, hand to hand combat, driving and exploring feel good.

    That isn't to say there isn't some issues. I find the game has some inconsistences in it's story telling and characters. People do and say things that make little sense or contradict earlier things they said. For instance, earlier in the story I was sent on a job to get something and the guy who sent me out wasn't worried about causing trouble with a certain group of people. Later in the story he tells me I don't want to anger the leader of those same very people earlier he didn't care if I killed. Then 2 seconds later he says we need to take care of the group of people he just said not to mess with. It absolutely makes no sense. Or how about Saint John being a complete jerk to people in the camps, yet needing their help and or working with them. It makes no sense to create ill will with people you're constantly working with.

    There's other another issues that irk me. Anytime you go into a camp and walk by the mechanic or anyone else in a camp, they comment on you being there. If you happen to walk by them a few seconds later, they comment like they haven't seen you in days. You can do this over and over again. At one point I had a mission to check in on a friend. I drove all the way over there to ask him something for him to reply completely incorrectly to what I was asking and that was the whole mission. It's little things like this that don't seem right in a game that gets so much right. Then there's rescuing screaming survivors who are always the same few character models. Why would anybody scream in your face while rescuing them in a zombie apocalypses? Again, it makes no sense.

    Another thing that bothers me is how the game tries very hard to say who would survive the zombie apocalypse and who wouldn't. Only the gangsters, drug addicts, bikers and ex cons would survive. The game even says accountants wouldn't make it out in this world, says who? They try to make this clear delineation of who's capable of surviving and it makes no sense. Survival skills are not base on being a bad$ss on the streets before everything went down.

    But besides these few issues, the game itself is a ton of fun and I would totally recommend.    … Expand

    Love this game, the characters are great, the story is awesome, I love the fact that its open world. The only real gripe I have about this game was the dumb AI. You could hide in a bush and kill a complete horde of infected without them finding you.
    Other than that this game was a blast to play and I hope we see a second game soon.

I'm stunned at some of the terrible reviews it received.

    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

The visuals of the game are simply incredible, with really great and immersive looking environments. Riding your motorbike is the main traversal mechanic in the game, and is well designed as the controls take some time to get used to but become really fun once you master them. Driving down a country road or through an old abandoned town feels very relaxing and intimate. Exploring the world and finding what used to be of a society is always really fun to do in these types of games. The zombie hordes are the real highlight of this game, with many encounters forcing you to mow down hundreds of zombies at once. The story is the weakest point of the game, with many uninteresting characters and plot points. The main character, Deacon, and his relationship with his wife and best friend are the strong points of the narrative and luckily keep the story enjoyable for the most part.… Expand

    So I pre-ordered this game but didn't open it thinking I was going to return it after reading some of the less than stellar critic reviews. I'm glad I didn't. This game is pretty cool and from my perspective deserves a much higher grade than it was given. I'd say a solid 8.5. There are 2 things that bring it down for me.

I'm glad I didn't. This game is pretty cool and from my perspective deserves a much higher grade than it was given. I'd say a solid 8.5. There are 2 things that bring it down for me. First of all the technical problems: bugs and performance. There are more bugs that you would expect from a Sony exclusive title and the frame-rate seems to tank a bit during the more intense moments of the game. These problems are fixable however so we'll have to wait and see what issues the future updates address. The other problem is the control of the main character. While melee works well and feels good, shooting just feels a bit too slow as does general character movement. Now for the positives. For an open world game there's a lot to do and I never really suffered from open world fatigue while playing. The quests are well streamlined to the extent that you really never even have to open the world map to get your next objective. Also the game mechanic of having to manage your bike's fuel level will force you to do a bit of exploring to find gas, which in a post-apocalyptic world you would expect you'd be doing quite a bit of that. The hordes are probably the coolest and most unique feature of the game. You do have to play for a while to get to them, but the payoff when you finally face them is worth it and gives you some of the best moments of the game.
    All in all I'd say this game is worth a purchase if open world, story driven post apocalyptic games are your thing. Even if you are on the fence like I was you probably won't be disappointed. Though if you can't stand console games with bugs you might wait a bit longer to see if more are squashed by the next update.    … Expand

    It seems strange to place a game like this on the market with TLoU 2 so nearby on the horizon, but this seems to be a zombie game for those who didn't get their zombie checklist marked off by the structured, narrative-heavy Naughty Dog franchise and who haven't yet had open world fatigue set in. Striking a balance between the introspective of TLoU and the gameplay focus of games likeIt seems strange to place a game like this on the market with TLoU 2 so nearby on the horizon, but this seems to be a zombie game for those who didn't get their zombie checklist marked off by the structured, narrative-heavy Naughty Dog franchise and who haven't yet had open world fatigue set in. Striking a balance between the introspective of TLoU and the gameplay focus of games like World War Z, Left 4 Dead and Dying Light, It has a narrative focus, but much of it is just set-dressing for a surprisingly ambitious playground in which to ride your motorcycle, kill zombies and loot, loot, loot.

    Therein lies Days Gone's biggest strength, and its greatest weakness: it's chock-full of content, so much so that like every gameplay-driven open-world game, grind and repetition are practically unavoidable, and your enjoyment will boil down to how much of the world-building you can enjoy and how much of the grind you can handle. Motorcycle mechanics are a treat, checkpoints are fair but not exploitative, and the Hard difficulty setting is surprisingly well-balanced, making it an excellent game for people who want a surmountable challenge but not an insurmountably unforgiving testament to skill. Building trust with camps is a little more impersonal than it should be, and this is where much of the grind originates from considering much of the game's 'credit' economy is based around it, but while it may not be especially compelling, I can't fault it for not being efficient and streamlined: turning in items to Bounties and Kitchens and turning it around to Mechanic merchandise is an interesting way to keep shop progression balanced, and it works

    Developed on UE4, a rare shift away from Sony's usual in-house engines, Days Gone isn't exactly full of bells and whistles, but it performs at a respectable 30 fps with incredibly rare dips (even during Horde sections), and most notably, its use of shadows is top-notch, and with a Pro is best experienced utilizing the full effects of an HDR display. Load times can be far less-than-respectable though, so this deserves special mention. It uses checkerboard rendering to achieve 4K visuals, so the visuals and textures are more crisp than early Alpha footage would have led people to believe.

    The Pacific Northwest setting of Oregon is a rare setting in games, but not one that makes for especially creative design opportunities, so if you're expecting much more than North American rainforests, I wouldn't get my hopes up here. But if you're looking for a zombie game that can keep you engaged with lots of mechanically-sound open-world gameplay, this is the best title you're going to find    … Expand

    finally finished DAYS GONE this game is surprisingly long i didn't expect this game to have so much content
    and before i criticize this game ill give some slack to bend studios because this is their first AAA PS4 game so i wont go that hard on them
    Story: you are an army veteran ex biker gang member that helped his wife to safety and then survived two years with his best friend that    finally finished DAYS GONE this game is surprisingly long i didn't expect this game to have so much content
    and before i criticize this game ill give some slack to bend studios because this is their first AAA PS4 game so i wont go that hard on them

    Story: you are an army veteran ex biker gang member that helped his wife to safety and then survived two years with his best friend that you met in the biker gang and now you are a bounty hunter of sorts called a drifter and you take jobs from other camps and kill zombies for camp money

    pros:

    - the game is really detailed and you can actually notice all the small things

    - when you fast travel it takes time and gasoline and it kinda adds to the realism

    -the game has so much content replay value and even endgame content for all the grind lovers

    - the map is huge which is really good you can travel around the map and just kill zombies and look for
    crafting materials

    -your character even after maxed out skill points doesn't become this god being that kills everything in one shot and i really loved it

    - the hordes are terrifying and actually pump your adrenaline and make you think before you act you actually need to prepare your self and a route to run in before you attack a horde

    -the transition between day and night and the weather change is just awesome

    cons:

    - the transition from cut-scene to game play is horrible how horrible ? black screen cut horrible

    - the gasoline tank that you find randomly outside or as i call it the infinite gas tank is ridicules it basically has infinite gas i gassed up a NERO site and then my maxed out bike with the huge gas tank and it still didn't run out of gasoline

    - the voice system needs patching because sometimes deacon or others characters will talk over themselves or worse not talk at all in a mission and basically bug the mission

    - the mutated zombies feel very lame and unoriginal basically there is the fast zombie the strong zombie and the screaming zombie i wish there were more and better mutated zombies in this game

    -the adding of levels to weapons kinda killed it because there are weapons that can kinda one shot anything

    -bike control's even when maxed out feel a little off and they gotta patch that in my opinion

    - and finally the main thing that really killed this game for me is the performance issues i am guessing that they will patch it later but for now the game has so much BUGS crazy FPS DROPS really ridicules RENDERING ISSUES and GAME BREAKING GLITCHES that sometimes that game is unplayable

    in conclusions if not for the performance issues DAYS GONE could be in my opinion a easy 8.5 out of 10
    but for now my final score to this game is a 7 out of 10 which is not bad for a studio that made their first AAA PS4 game

    update: they updated the game and made it so much better so im changing the score back to a 8.5 out of 10    … Expand

The best thing about the game is the dialogue. It feels natural, not fake or written like it was made for a movie, but as if it was taken from real life. And the story, its long. Like really long. And you will love it.

    For me the only two negative things are the weak gun play, meaning guns feel wrong, sound wrong, and the fact that the game suffers from a lot of stutters and frame drops, even on the PS4 Pro. Most noticeable when your bike has been upgraded with a good engine and you are driving at full speed. Often the game just cant render fast enough, I would have appreciated an option for a performance mode, with lower resolution, like HZD had.

Each settlement will have this benefits of weapons or upgrading your bike. I recommend upgrading your bike start of the game. Weapons are not important early. My review is an 8 due to great settings, crafting and story however the game can be repetitive with gas getting low, need to find gas stations or canisters to refuel your bike. Unfair snipers knocking you off your bike, and clunky combat makes the experience little difficult however it's manageable and can still be fun while not being ambush by hoardes of freakers or human and wolves etc. Fast travel is present however you have to clear freaker nests to get have a path to fast travel.

Now with that said here's my opinion on the game, it's a great game it some minor flaws that deserves a sequel, the story is interesting graphics are decent, game play hits and misses in some ways, sound could be better.

    Story: It's good it starts of a bit slow but the more u play the more u get intrigued by it acting is good in general and the main character is well written but could be less of a dick for no reason sometimes.

    Graphics:Probably my biggest problem with the game, the more u play Days Gone the less bether they become textures stop loading in making everything look like its smothered in vaseline, its more noticeable especially in cutscenes were it just becomes painful so see chartres with only half of the textures loaded, i also noticed this happening more often in long sessions of the game making me believe that the reason this happens is probably because of ram overload for to many ram driven tasks.
    Sound: The bike sounds good actulay to good since its noise has hell making u wonder why on earth would u choose to ride a bike in a world where zombies are attracted to loud noises, besides that the radio chatter gets annoying, there u are stealth killing enemies hiding in bushes trying to make has little noise has you can just for a npc to call out your name in the radio, making the protagonist scream from the top of his longs some dialogue that is not even attached to the mission your doing, funny part is enemies don't even care, this breaks immersion are reminds u that u are playing a game and real world logic doesn't apply here kinda like wen in last of us Ellie would just run around in from of enemies and they wouldn't even blink.

    Gameplay: It's good not groundbreaking but its does its job, the only thing that sticks out to me is the gun play it's a bit dumb having to point the gun leaving cover and the wait for your crosshair to slowly get smaller so that u can land and accurate headshot is counter intuitive to what most games do were the more u shoot the less accurate it becomes here is inaccurate all the time unless u wait or just use the focus mode, but if u use the shotgun or the heavy machine gun this issues don't really apply, that's what i did for most of the game just skip rifles no point in thouse.    … Expand

    I think it is a solid 7 at the absolute least but I'm edging to 8. I think it would benifet greatly if they fix the minor (greatly exaggerated by reviewers) technial issues like pop in, some minor stutter and frame jolts in the second area of the game among a few other nitpicks like increasing fuel usage early on and adding varied aiming settings for ranged weapons. It could get to a 9 if resolved. I can't recommend it at full price but the first price drop, I say jump on it fast and hard. It's one of those games that people will be buying and making threads on for months to come wondering where the reviewers who posted 5/10 or less, minds were at or even 6's which are ridiculous scores for this game.

    I'm just entered the last area of the game, I think and the map is huge, I also noticed that many of the reviews that I read didn't mention this area (It is very notable for reasons i won't spoil) which is completely gated off until a certain point, well into the story and so to on the map. I think the hoards are great, although they are such a challenge on hard mode that I am left thinking if I should just lower the difficulty to normal for them at least and switch back to hard for the rest of the game, a tough decision to make. They are massive, fluid and very, very dynamic so much so that each encounter is dramatically differnet and I love how Bend have filled the environment around them with oppertunities to cause utter mayham (at leat the two I have encountered) it is a beautiful thing and so much fun, even while dying so many times it shows just how different each approach can be and besides for some frame jolts (like a half second pause, not a stutter or feame drop) everynow and then but very rarely it is near flawless. The other performance issues like pop in or texture dropping don't increase with hoards nor is there any noticable frame pacing, in fact I think it is smoother than some of the some other intense instances of play, bar that pause that is few and far between.

    I'm playing on pro, at 4k in HDR on a 47 inch (or 49 maybe) It is a beautiful game, stunning at times but oddly inconsistant throughout the world and between some cutscenes and sone others there is an inconsistent feel, a lot of this, I have noticed can be put down to the dynamic lighting as returning to some area can drastically change how things look, even the textures can be greatly enhanced in some cases particularly high noon and the golden hours at dawn and dusk. Shadows really pop and create a painting like scene at these times. However, that isn't to say the game looks bad in other instances like a storm in a forested area can look amazing, rain streaming down while the trees sway is an atmospheric treat that reminds me of Tw3 with greatly increased fidelity to real forests. All in all, it reminds me a lot of RdR2 and it's visuals, with greater detail but much more inconsistency and some flaws like far off pop in of assets and texture loading issues pretty close up. These can be fixed and it's not anything heavier than God of wars massive load times and fram pacing at launch or The wither 3's technical issue's infact a lot less than the latter. The game ozzes atmosphere at almost every turn and it really hits you hard while exploring, it can go from sunny and warm, with happiness on top to cold, damp with a feeling of dread in seconds and that is just a damn treat.

    Sound is an odd one, it is great at times and horrible at others. The main character is absolutely fantastic and so is some of the supporting cast but this is brought down by techinal issues where audio overlaps or audio levels are different. This is easily fixed by adjusting settings on your TV and in game besides for the odd overlap of audio logs with a radion station or walky talky call when playing on a non speaker supporting controller or with headphones in. One thing that is fantastic though is the audio logs that play front the speaker if you are using a Ds4 with no headphones they are a really good use of that speaker and on top they are very well done and interesting.

    Something that is not a good use is the touch pad, it is needless and pointlessly added to menus but buttons can also be used so perhaps a non issue unless you are unfamiliar with Ds4 or trying to play passively with one hand which will often give you menu prompts. And for that matter control in game is great (can be an issue to begin with) once you get used to it on the bike, the melee combat, the general camera are all smooth and great apart from gun aiming which takes a a great deal of time to master but does get better with certain weapon choices and configurations.

    The story presentation is the majour point of negative issue with the game, seems like they want to tag    … Expand

BUT the game has alot of issues! i am going to start buy saying the the shooting is awful ! its like playing ME1 all over again its very clunky and outdated and enemies dont react naturally as they should when taking a bullet, ive been playing the game on normal but for real no human in the world couldnt take 7 shots from a sniper to the chest without dying, or a WHOLE magazine from a pistol! these things just dont make sense!!! and if youre playing on ps4 be aware that when you upgrade your bike the game will start to collapse and will have frame rate issues! once your bike is fully upgraded textures and hoards will spawn out of nowhere ! the game will be very unplayable while driving (i hope bend fixes this!)! anyhow the game is awesome i loved every second of it but the game feels so clunky and unpolished ! the U4 engine that they are using on the game still need work or maybe we should beg for sony to release their new console cuz my ps4 is very outdated (you will have the same issues also on ps4 pro!) and games dont run well anymore! this game is awesome and i will be playing it until the world is clean from freakers and i cant wait to see a sequel ! they even hint you where the sequel might be (not gonna tell cuz its near the end of the game). the game still need new ideas and i really want to feel that im more in a biker gang rather than a survivor especially in the flashbacks i wish we couldve been with the biker gang or something way more interesting the flashback were a horrible written storyline! but i totally see this game getting better and better in the future with its sequel! if you like games like far cry and mad max and middle earth shadow of mordor/war then this is a must buy for you! and i highly recommend this game to all PS4 owners out there!!!!… Expand

    2) In game map in the lower right hand corner is a little small when riding your bike causing me to sometimes get my turns wrong.
    3) There is a lot of bullet sponging.
    4) Each camp set up except Wizard Island and Diamond Lake are set up horribly. This is just me being paranoid and hypothetically thinking if this were a real life scenario, but there are too many weak points at the camps. Not a big deal though.
    5) There is no ability to swim so if you find yourself in deep water good luck surviving.
    6) Historical monuments seem pointless.
    7) What would be cool is if you could set up your own camp/upgrade other camps, but maybe in Days Gone 2.

    Other than the flaws, this game is great and has a very impactful storyline and Deacon is funny to listen to.    … Expand

Y el ultimo punto negativo el cual es algo que me veía venir y rezaba para que me equivocara y es que el jueo se hace repetitivo luchar contra los freakers se resume e disparar correr 10 metros para alejarte y disparar, en si si eres alguien mas estratega puedes sacarle mas provecho a las trampas de osos, granadas, molotovs, etc ademas la inteligencia artificial es un insulto para la generación en la que estamos de los freakers es mas entendible pero la de los humanos en el juego parece que por lo menos cada ser humano le faltan 1 o mas sentidos se me olvido mencionar la motocicleta la cual es tu compañera tu Epona, tu Ellie, tu Elizabeth siempre estará para rescatarte cuando la horda te este pisando los talones muy bien echa y con un peso emocional en la historia del protagonista.

    Graphics- Nothing to write home about. I have seen images such as this on the PS3, however it is still fine to look at. Nothing to complain about. Images could be better though with the tech out for PS4.
    Music and Voice- The music is great and during certain cut scenes I think it is perfect and gives you a great sense of the current atmosphere. The voice acting is fine, but again nothing to write home about. I have seen better and I have seen worse.
    Game play- Great at first, but then gets really really repetitive. Go to X and complete Y is the same for several missions and side quests. The story missions differentiate but they are not the meat of the quests available. Plus Zombie games have been done to the max and it is time to move on from this stale genre.

    Overall- The game is fun, boring at times. No bugs that I have yet seen but it is nothing new to the genre. I give it an 8 to boost the score a bit but it really is around a 7 or 6.    … Expand

I haven't seen many critics talk about Days Gone's progression and that is a shame, because it's one of the game's greatest strenghts. No matter what you do it always helps you upgrade your arsenal, bike or skills with a variety of missions, which are very well paced and presented at the right time for the most part. The game didn't do a good job keeping my interest at the beginning, but it thankfuly manages to pick up steam a little later, when you unlock a third camp. At first glance the story might seem clicheic and cheesy, which made it's heartfelt and endearing moments surprising (in a pleasant way, of course). It sure does have a generous ammount of cheese, don't get me wrong, but the good far outshines the bad and in the end it stuck with me more than I expected it to. My biggest gripes with the game are the lack of polish, which is imo inexcusable for a AAA title of this caliber, it's pacing issues (especially when the middle part doesn't present any problems of this kind), it being too long for it's own good, and the way the gameplay feels. The side content is ubisoft like, but surpisingly never gets monotonous thanks to the progression I've just praised above and the number of different activities offered to the player at any time. Days gone is worth your time and money, even if it might not seem to for the first 10ish hours of gameplay. I'm very excited to see where Sony Bend will take the franchise next.… Expand

I think that this game was penalized because of its lack of innovation in terms of open world design. Yes, it shares the same formula than most Ubisoft games.

    Because of that, I think that for people that experiment Days Gone as their first game or first open world game, they will have a great time especially if they like the Zombie theme. Otherwise, for players who played a lot of open world games in the past, they will have a « déjà-vu » feeling.

    Now, I will share more about my personal experience with this game. I think it's pretty decent and good, but not amazing as a package. I completed my playthrough yesterday on hard diffiuclty. I did most of the side stuff + the main storyline and my PS5 tells me I spent 70 hours on this game. So, it's a lot of content for completionists.

    I had fun for the most part. I found the story good at times but more bland in some parts. I'm a visual person and the below-average facial animations broke a bit my immersion in the story. That being said, Days Gone is way above average in term of good HDR impementation in a video game. If you have a good TV for HDR, you will be impressed by the graphics, especially the dynamic weather and how the lightning is implemented in this game.

    I'm giving Days Gone a 8,0/10 rating, which is good. I played on PS5 and with patches, it's dynamic 4k resolution with 60 FPS. Here are a few pros and cons for this game:

    +
    Excellent graphics
    Crafting system, bike upgraded, survival mechanics are great
    I found the shooting to be smooth and enjoyable most of the time

    _
    Killing hordes in late-game is tedious and not fun (for me...)
    There is a small lack of innovation (some may find the game generic)
    The game can be repetitive at times

I am playing on PS4 Pro and there was one data streaming freeze for about 4 seconds when approaching the 1st camp with bike at high speed. So the game was loading in assets. Happens with a lot of games. The story is interesting, it is not as good as Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Last of Us, but it does have value. World is impressive and fun to explore, zombies are terrifying to encounter. AI is not as dumb as some of the reviews say, I think it is a perfect line between realistic and fun.

    In general this game may not feel super authentic, because it is not. It feels like it is borrowing the best parts from other games in the market. I think they combined Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Red Dead Redemption, The Last of Us into one game and it works great. It is not magical game, but what they achieved here is a really decent game.

    7.2 for this game is underwhelming in my opinion. I think it stands between 8 and 8.5 on the score table and I have had lots of fun with it.

    This game is LONG. It is worth your money for that alone. You play as biker Deacon St. John shooting, killing and looting trough a barren wasteland of thieves, cultist and zombies. What is good about it. Well.. -It has a long story. To be honest once i thought the game was over after hours of play i was just half done.    Finally bought it after days gone by of Corona to fill my boredom.

    What is good about it. Well..
    -It has a long story. To be honest once i thought the game was over after hours of play i was just half done.
    - Your motorbike is your best companion. You must always have it handy at all times. You bike consumes gas and brakes down little by little. You find gas scattered over your routes and you are best of to remember where the cans can be found at all times. Running out of fuel pretty much sucks but that rarely happens. You fix your bike by scavenging scraps salvaged from car wrecks etc.
    There are quite few weapons to get a hold of too, from handguns, submachine guns, heavy guns and sniper rifles. They all fire differently and grenades, pipe-bombs and other stuff can be crafted or bought, mind you, you only learn to craft them during your progress. Before that, they are mostly found around.
    You also have melee weapons in various forms and shapes. And you soon learn that it will be your best weapon in close combat. These brake down by use Dead Island style. Once you learn the ability to fix them on the go to keep them healthy, you best keep on doing that once you find a heavy-stat melee weapon you love. Once its broken, its gone, and you have to tend to your old boot knife for close combat when it happens until you find a new one.

    Zombies (or freaks as they are called here) comes in various forms. All from toddler freaks (Newts) that are skittish and territorial, to regular runners and such. And more powerful once comes to play as you progress (not spoiling what they are) .
    If you caught the demo a while back featuring Deacon fighting a storm of zombies chasing him, they are very well presented here. Around 40 hordes are out there for the challenge to wipe out ranging from 100 to 400 freaks in a group chasing you. A daunting time consuming task of planning your strategy to take them down. And it is these hordes that gives Days Gone the original take of the genre. It frightening fun to take them on. These hordes are to be avoided and fled from at all cost until you have higher stats and tougher weapons to take them on.

    You spend your times gaining reputation and money from a few various camps to buy weapons and gears for your bike. Although there are fast travel points, i found out that riding around from A to B is much needed to scavenge parts, ammo and other stuff that you need.
    The map is very well designed, and i find it wonderful to explore. There are roads going to many hidden directions, and there are hundreds of old cabins, caves and camps riddled with loot for you to grab. Exploring the lands will satisfy you and consume much of your time.

    So what about the negative stuff.

    The controls are not the best i have encountered. Riding the bike is very tough in the beginning. It takes some time to get accustomed to it. Granted they tried the best to make it as realistic as possible.
    Gun fights takes some skills to master as well. Even with auto aim on, there are many bullets spent without hitting anything.

    Maintaining your bike is a chore and breaks the gameplay flow quite a bit. Starting on lowest upgrades, your bike consumes abnormally high amount of fuel and you refuel so very often. But once you have upgraded the tank a couple of times along with durability of your ride, you find yourself less concerned about it luckily.

    Next, The game is RIDDLED with bugs. Bethesda must applaud the devs of how many there is. bugs with landscapes disappearing , controls, malfunctioning. even game breaking bugs can occur. all is in there sadly. For a game with such a long time developments, i am quite shocked it has so much errors in it.

    As many has said, this game is OK for what it is. Dont expect a technical marvel. But great by itself for killing hours. I was quite taken on by the story and the character development is very good.

    A fantastic game. It would be one of the all time greatest if it wasn't limited by ps4 30 frames. Just magine this with a powerful pc, g/freesync at 144hz, good god. Its beautiful, interesting, time consuming and fun. The minor complaint would be random calls 2-3 times in a row from the same person.

    This game really got shafted by reviewers and I'm not sure why. Sure, it's not an AAA game. The gameplay is pretty basic, the world is pretty lifeless, but it has a story and characters that are memorable and some properly fun gameplay mechanics. Dealing with a horde was always a treat.

    É um jogo legal com uma história boa, porém sofre de alguns bugs e problemas de performance como delays de renderização (pelo menos no ps4 slim que foi onde eu joguei), fora esses problemas é um bom jogo.

    Playing for first time and reviewing in 2020. A lot to explore and do and it's a fairly good game. It's got some pretty good atmosphere and a ok story and feel to the world.

It's got some pretty good atmosphere and a ok story and feel to the world. Not as good as dying light in terms of atmosphere and gameplay but it has a lot to offer, especially at the price it sells for now. I'm actually have a really good time with it at the moment and it has something that is hard to explain but its like a old school open world on PC or something in which you never know what is around the corner, it makes exploring awesome. What it's let down by is the controls which are a little clunky and amateur. Fighting and shooting is very basic in a age of God Of War and the hundred or so good shooters around. With this much money behind them it's a little weird the combat is this average. Also, THERE IS NO JUMP BUTTON! this is a big sign to the experienced gamer tells you they designed a 2 dimensional open world. The game is ok but if they spent time making the combat a bit more rewarding and involving and added some better character specialisation skill tree stuff it would be a complete game. Basically it just lacks polish and you can tell it was rushed by the publisher. I think a sequel would be very good if they get enough time to work on it properly.… Expand

    Days Gone is an above average game. I love Deacon as a character, love the combat and so far the story is interesting. The world is cool and different. Graphics are beautiful. Just solid overall! It isnt God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn but it is up there. Great PlayStation exclusive!

    Great game but expected more from you Bend Studio. Way better story than Red Dead Redemption 2.

    Nota 84

    El videojuego hubiera podido ser uno de los mejores de la generacion, pero està alargado de forma artificial y su historia es muy inconsistente. Aunque lejos de todo eso los Graficos son impresionantes y el gunplay es de lo mejor que hay. Esperemos y haya secuela y tenga mejor Quality Asurance

    Un buen juego. Variado y exigente. Con una gran historia que engancha.Merece la pena incluso jugar las secundarias.
    Si prefieres las historias a los gráficos esta a la altura de los grandes de PS4

    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.
