    There are no words except one: WOW!.
    This game is addictive and also very exciting the characters are well done, the story is interesting, the graphics are not beautiful but it doesn't matter.
    If you are curious and you want a new game to try I recommend you Days Gone.

    Its a pretty good game, a good time, worth playing through, Not amazing or great in any area, but just a solid well made product.
    Its not a 5/10.
    Its better than a 7/10, the game has plenty of content to be just a 7/10.
    To many people (including games Urnalist) hating on this game even for months before the game came out.

    Days gone... is a great game, but I think it should have come out earlier. Reason for this opinion is that everyone is waiting for Last of Us Part 2 and these games are pretty similar in concept.

Technically the game could be Better, but it's not bad or even so buggy as some people seem to say, for me only few glitches have occured while riding the bike and few zombies getting stuck in environment. I love open world games especially with zombies so it gives me a good play through and will recommend it to anyone into similar games and wanting to have something to do before waiting TLOU2 to come out, strong 8/10… Expand

    Звук от выстрелов очень грузный и реалистичный с приятной отдачей.

    Мотоцикл радует приятной физикой.
    Его нужно заправлять, чинить и улучшать.

    С людьми расправляться не интересно ввиду их непреодолимой тупости, слепоты и глухоты :(

    Орды - новый уровнь геймдева!
    Нежити порой далеко за сотню особей, обрабатываемых движком одновременно, отчего плойка и готовится к взлёту в стратосферу, судя по звуку.

    Игра проседала до 20 кадров на фатке на релизе, чуть позже 30 фпс я созерцал только в поселениях, пещерах и пустых дорогах, но стоит вблизи появиться орде, так сразу начинались проседания, порой даже до 15 кадров в особо нагруженных сценах с обилием взрывов.

    Всего в игре есть лишь несколько грамотно проработанных сюжетных локаций, на которых интересно расправляться с толпой гнилушников, а все остальные шатаются просто по полям и дорогам, из-за чего уничтожать их уже на середине игры становится не интересно и хочется просто зачистить территорию для галочки.

    Минусы:
    * Фонарик, закреплённый на груди главного героя живёт своей жизнью отдельно от персонажа и вращается в любую сторону при повороте камеры;
    * Колёса на мотоцикле начинают крутиться раньше того, как он тронется с места, если сдаёшь задним ходом;
    * Границы карты как в нулевых состоят из невидимых стен, в которые можно въехать и попасть в дтп!

    История интересная, но квесты порой настолько идиотские, что нормально такое принимать сможет только ребёнок и этот идиотизм усиливается одними из самых нелепых диалогов в видеоиграх, в которые я играл!

    Итог:
    * Сюжет и персонажи не раздражают, не смотря на нелепые ситуации;
    * Интересный открытый мир для исследования;
    * Графика технологична, настолько насколько это возможно в опенворлдах на текущем поколении консолей;
    * Работа художников варьируется от очень хорошей до великолепной;
    * Геймплей неплохо проработан и почти все элементы сделаны прямыми руками;
    * Фича с ордами вполне тянет на некст ген;
    * Хорошая русская озвучка;
    * Посредственная, но не бесящая музыка;
    * Почти удобное управление;
    * И конечно же новизна - это не очередной сиквел или приквел чего-либо, а абсолютно новая игра!

    Вывод: игра получилась добротная, в которую я советую поиграть всем обладателем четвёркой плойки, но она не настолько крута, чтобы ради неё покупать консоль. Для эксклюзива производительность просто отвратительная, но это новый интересный тайтл, обладающий нетривиальными геймдизайнерскими решениями, способный увлечь вас минимум на 50 часов, а то и на 100+, если вы решите замахнуться на платину.

    Моя оценка 8 из 10 с большой натяжкой, которую могу обосновать новизной, нетривиальностью и некой общей душевностью ;)    … Expand

    Deacon is a total badass and the games world is beautiful!
    The games soundtrack and audio is top notch and the boom of shotguns and echo of a rifle crack in the woods is deeply pleasing.

    So fire up HDR and use your best audio setup and enjoy the experience.

    Não achei Days Gone um jogo que posso falar que é um dos melhores já feito, mas de forma alguma é um game ruim. Seus gráficos, os personagens, a gameplay e sua narrativa são muito boas. O único defeito que eu me incomodei são os Loadings demorados; tirando isso, achei o exclusivo da Sony excelente. Mas realmente, o que peca é a falta de originalidade.

    While I did enjoy my time with this game and have given it a high rating, I unfortunately can't recommend it at full price simply due to the still present technical issues that unfortunately will never be patched. These include somewhat aggressive pop-in, constant lag issues when the game is struggling to stream assets into frame, which as a result slows everything down to a crawl and the games controls become largely unresponsive, and still present some cutscene audio and video syncing issues that does largely detract from immersion.

    This game is definitely worth buying at around half price still at the time of writing this review but I wouldn't buy it at any higher price than 50% off unless you are really lacking some engaging story driven single player games to play. For now I would suggest buying Dying Light for your zombie/story fix until this games price drops.    … Expand

The gameplay is average I’d say, gunplay is a little awkward to get used to, but there are skills to help with that, riding the bike at the beginning is not as fun as you’d think it would be, but there are upgrades you can purchase that help with that as well. My biggest problem with the game is the survivor wheel, it is very inaccurate and if you do not select the item you intended to, it will probably cause you to die. There are some frame drops as I’m playing, but I haven’t experienced any bugs. The AI is kind of lacking for what you would expect with all of the amazing games we have. There were several times when I was right in front of an enemy and they wouldn’t move, get into cover nor shoot me. The missions are fairly repetitive, but many open world games are like that (Soider-Man And Horizon Zero Dawn) With all of that said, there are many good things about the game as well. As I said before the story draws you in, the way you can utilize the world around you to destroy hordes is incredible, you can even use the horde as a weapon against your enemies. And amongst all of the repetitive missions and side quests are random encounters, being ambushed by marauders, encountering a random horde or being pulled off you bike by a runner, it all makes the world seem very dangerous and makes you nervous to be out in it. All in all I think it’s a good game and in a few patches once the frame drops and bugs are fixed it can be a truly solid game.… Expand

    Fun open world sandbox with light survival elements that makes me think best parts of Mad Max and the Last of Us. Storywise, I thought it was pretty good but your millage may vary.

    Buen juego pero no perfecto, lo que llevo jugado gráficos de diez, historia muy currada y interesante me deja ganas de pillar siempre el mando para jugar, adolece de varios bugs pero los típicos de cualquier sandbox ( al menos en mi partida y hasta ahora) en resumen un buen juego merecedor de un ocho.

Going into it, I thought Deacon was going to be super generic, and lame, but he's actually an interesting character. I expected to hate him!

    The day & night system is quite good. Night time seems more dangerous, to the extent where you feel like watching the clock, so you don't get caught too far away from a safehouse in the dark. It's not "Dying Light" night time levels of dangerous, but its definitely harder to move around and loot places.

    The combat is decent, I thought the aiming was going to be really janky, but it turns out the pistol thats in most review/gameplay videos is just a piss poor weapon (I found a rifle thats much easier to aim with, tapping the fire button). It took a while to get used to the motorbike controls, but it gets easier. I really like having to look after the bike, and trying to upgrade it.

    One thing I will say is that raising the different camp trust levels feels a liiiiitle bit on the "grindy" side, but getting a new piece of equipment usually feels rewarding. The story so far is decent, it's not going to change your life, but Deacon is likeable so you'll stay interested. Full disclosure; I'm a big fan of The Forest, Dying Light, Last Of Us, and even State of Decay on the 360, so if your not sick of the Zombie/Survival genre, and you like those games too, then I'd recommend you try Days Gone!    … Expand

    I've been waiting for a Walking Dead style game for ages, and Days Gone delivers, with the added fun of noisy bikes. Atmospheric world, tense emergent gameplay, stealth and guns blazing both work well. Bit glitchy, nothing revolutionary, but really good fun. A solid, entertaining game.

For negatives I would see some repetition in the missions like NERO checkpoints, but for me it's okay I want to keep and play this game for a long time.

    Emotional story told in a unique way. It's a beautiful looking game. The occasional bug here and there which I'm sure will be ironed out in future updates.
    It is an 8/10 for me due to long loading screens and gun combat which could be improved. Despite this, it is a fantastic game and a must-buy for any PS4 owner.

I went and pre-ordered it two days prior to release- And then Came the Reviews bashing this game like hell the day after, which made me rethink if I want to really buy this Game. Thank God I kept my order and gave this a try. I am about 13 hours in and the game has been nothing but super fun. Couple of fps drops once in my playthrough, the audio of the bike disappeared for 10 mins but other than it is fantastic. Never thought I could have so much fun in this game.

    The reviews called the missions repetitive but I think they are fun. I don't think they are that much repetitive.
    Story so far has been great.
    Voice acting is good.. not the best but its decent and keeps you in action.
    The atmosphere is fantastic..although it rains a lot in this game but it feels good.
    The bike handling is a mixed bag..it takes a little to get used to but once you get the hang of it and not use it too aggressively - it serves you fine for travel and escapes.

    Love the Melee combat feels great smashing heads and faces with my nail bat. Gun play is not the best but its not bad either, its pretty decent and gets the job done.

    Overall Days Gone is a great game that should not be missed because of those crazy reviews it received. I would rate

    Story so far 8/10
    Characters 7/10
    Voice acting 7/10
    Gun play 7.5/10
    Bike handling 7/10
    Melee Combat 9/10
    Music 8/10
    Atmosphere 9/10
    A.i smartness 5/10
    Fun level 9/10

    Rated based on other open world genre Games.

    But if judged on it is OWN as a game Overall I would give this Game a 9/10

    the game deserves a try and some hours to prove itself so i suggest to give it a go. don't expect it to be like the last of us or State of decay. it's scary and lonely in it own ways but it's fun to survive in Pacific Northwest.    … Expand

Of the minuses, perhaps I call the FPS drops when riding a bike, and a very stupid artificial intelligence from opponents, it is very boring to complete quests or shuffle camps on stealth !!!!

It does not do much that is unique, however, the thing I like most about this game is that it's an open world game that does a very good job of giving you direction. The only open world games I've actually finished recently are Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn, many others , including Red Dead Redemption 2 are easy to get burned out on. Days Gone has multiple story lines going on at once and the game does a great job of telling where to go to advance a particular story by looking at your map. I'm still playing this longer than Red Dead because I enjoy the setting, the visuals are fantastic on the PS4 pro. The only glitch to speak of is the sound cutting out with certain exhaust equipped and its a nice mix of single player story mixed with open world sandbox. The acting of the main character is hit or miss, but I think these characters are some of the most believable I've seen in a game to date, maybe because they remind me of friends / family that I actually knew at some point. The only real cringy moments are when Deacon is talking to himself, its a bit overdone at times, but forgiveable.

    Jugabilidad - 7
    No inventa la rueda. Utiliza mecánicas vistas en muchos títulos y las lleva a cabo de manera correcta. Le fallan dos puntos. Por un lado algo más de dinamismo en cuanto a la capacidad para trepar y hacer algo de "parkour" de forma más libre. Y por otro la interactividad con el escenario. El juego te provee de explosivos, pero no esto no hace que puedas destruir estructuras o edificios cuando quieras. Este, es poco destruible y aunque podemos interactuar con muchos elementos, no existe la sensación de que puedas "modificar" el entorno. Pero vamos, ni en este ni en ningún juego actual. Lo más parecido sería lo que vimos a partir de Battlefield 3, pero en un mundo abierto, a día de hoy, parece que no podrá ser.

    Diversión - 9
    El juego es tremendamente divertido. Las diferentes mecánicas y tipos de misión están enfocadas en que el jugador se divierta. Apenas hay misiones de recadero que no impliquen acción, tensión, o incluso terror. Esto hace que quieras jugar cada misión independientemente de lo que implique para la historia.

    Historia - 8
    La historia se desarrolla de manera correcta. Tiene algún giro de guión pero nada que te vaya a dejar con el culo torcido. Es entretenida, como lo puede ser la historia de una película de Marvel, pero tampoco le pido mucho más. Eso sí, los personajes son muy carismáticos, también esterotipos, pero es divertido. Aquí hemos venido a matar zombis y a pasarlo bien, no quiero personajes sumidos en dilemas demasiado trascendentales. Otro punto a favor de la historia, es la manera en que está estructurada para el jugador. Puedes avanzar por diferentes tramas sin tener la sensación de que haya una clara escisión entre misiones principales o secundarias de modo que es mucho más inmersivo.    … Expand

Su historia es bastante aceptable, los gráficos se ven bastante bien para lo que proviene de una empresa sin tantos recursos pero a veces cuando utilizas la moto para ir de un lugar para otro se nota una bajada de graficos (es decir ves las texturas de color mas borroso) por lo que molesta a veces. La física no es del todo buena porque hay unos detalles pequeños pero vistosos a simple vista pero esto no quita lo bueno que tiene este juego. Hablando de la jugabilidad esta es algo buena porque lo muy bueno que tiene se lo quitan los bugs: obviamente estos errores arruinan un poco de nuestra experiencia como jugadores (hasta ahora me ocurrieron dos bugs). Aclarar también que en algunas partes del mapa el juego sufre bajadas de frame (ralentizacion) que perturba la jugabilidad. También me es clave aclarar que no tiene nada que ver con The Last of Us este juego: es otro tipo de historia, diferentes gráficos, entre otras cosas. Digo esto porque si tienen altas expectativas de este juego porque según paginas de juegos era igual al TLOU se llevaran una decepción.

But I was pleasantly surprised and in many aspects, it really brought something unexpected. To me this an 8.5/10 game.
    Story: The story is easily one of the strongest aspects of game. At first the story comes off as cliché and uninspired, especially in the first hours. However, the story slowly develops into multiple treads, and can develop side characters and the main characters a like, at there's a lot of emotion and at certain point there is quite an impact. I found myself heavily invested in a lot of the different plot threads and where they may lead to. On the other hand, the story long over stays its welcome, and it starts to drag towards the end. Loosing that impact that it once built up, and some twist are predictable or lack impact. Over all the story had heart and was a good time.
    Game play: The game play here is as open world as once can get. Everything you expect from a game like this is here, from enemy posts to be cleared, uninspired side missions(quests). However I found myself hooked with the game play loop and the development of my characters The different factions you meet and its currency system makes it so you have to make "though choices" into developing you "own character" and I liked that. My character felt unique to my game-play style. the shooting is not fantastic but it’s not terrible. It is on the same style as Uncharted. needs more work doe but it does the job. What I found myself attached to a lot was my bike, saving for that new part or that new paint job kept me wanting to play more. Over all game play was fine, but it could use some work.
    Design and Performance: I played this game on a PS4 Pro. Over all the performance is all over the place. Sometimes is really good and fun for 5 hours straight, the next minute you are falling into the sky or glitching into a mountain with your bike. However, you can see a clear improvement with each update, But it does reflect poorly to see 5 patches with in a week's release. The design and graphics are fantastic. At times this is a game that looks as good as sometimes like Uncharted and God of war. The weather and day/night cycle made it immersive and very seamless. Makes it for some great shots if you are into photo-mode. The music is generic and but has moments where it lands very well with the atmosphere and complements the scene well.
    Over all I liked Days Gone a lot and I look forward to the sequel. I look forward to the next project by Bend Studios. I am happy to see them work on something bigger. seeing their previous titles where much smaller in scale. While this game does not compare to something like the Last of us or God of war. It does have its own strengths and merits.    … Expand

The hordes are especially fun to take on and require you to think and plan ahead. Your motorcycle is essential to the game and handles very well while most available upgrades feel useful. There are a few bugs that are very frustrating and even on my PS4 Pro I experienced a slight dip in frame rate when hordes first appear on screen or when covering a large amount of ground in a small amount of time on my bike. Overall, Days Gone exceeded my moderate expectations and delivered about 40 hours of pure fun. I would love to see a sequel for the developers to expand on the mechanics introduced in this game.… Expand

    If you enjoyed Last of US, Uncharted or the narrative of red dead you will like this game. It is not quite as polished and you'll find some annoying technical glitches but after a few hours the story and characters really bring you into the world. Honest solid 8 out of 10 and i would strongly support this studio and their future plans based on this product.

    This game is beautiful. There is a lot of detail within this harsh world. A few minor bugs but nothing terrible. If you are a fan of the Post-Apocalyptic genre this is a must buy. Another great game from Sony.

    Despite being a little rough around the edges I think this is a solid entry into the genre. Definitely not as bad as some of the critics say.

    I wish i could do a 7.8 or something but I'll round up since it was a close call. Fun game for zombie enthusiasts but it was hard not to notice the bugs and it seemed like they could have cut out a chunk of the repetitive side quests to make the game slightly shorter.

    Un juego muy divertido con una historia buena y un protagonista a la altura de las expectativas, lo mejor del juego sin duda son las hordas la exploración y los asaltos un 8 muy bien merecido que si no fuera por sus fallos de bugs y congelaciones sería un juego dkg o de tener entj estantería.

    It's fun to collect things in the open world. Close combat mechanics are working well. Motorcycle use is realistic and fun. BUT storytelling is not good. Standby screens are long in PS4. Missions aren't interesting. Cutscenes are boring. AS A RESULT, Days Gone could be one of the best games of this generation if Sony Bend Studio had been a little more time. Days Gone is a good game but not enough.

    While the game has a lot of technical issues I would say it was a pretty good experience. The strongest aspect of the game is the story, Deacon’s story of a broken man trying to find a reason to live I thought was very good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely brilliant and a really good use of the zombie genre. Days gone has some great gameplay elements however some things could be improved like stealth. The music of the game is really captivating and keeps you engaged while running from “freakers”. The story is very well done and it keep me gripped and on the edge for most of the time there were some instances where it did lose me for a bit just due to it not progressing, the amount of twists and turns in this game story is brilliant especially for a zombie game. The last one I remember being able to do that is the last of us. The game isn’t a masterpiece but it very enjoyable from running away from horses to hunting down the rippers. Too saving your brother and searching for your “dead” wife. I will say the twist at the 3 act of the game when you turn up at the military was quite a weird one I didn’t enjoy it at first but then I understood why it was there because it had been spoke about in previous scenes and segments of the gam. There are plenty of likeable characters especially the main characters deacon St. John he really did annoy me at first but he eventually grew on me as I explored the game story and his back story more and more, one issue is that I wish boozer had more to do or could of been a more interactive character in the storytelling. The shooting feels sluggish at first but as you upgrade it really starts to feel good. I will say the secret ending was defo a surprise the way o’bri Took off his helmet to surprise us with a infected but bonding person with the infection leads to main possibility’s for the next game if there is a next game, overall days gone was a great game and I’d say bend studios done a great job moments,… Expand

    ***BIGGEST PRO: It was fun riding around on a motorcycle in the game

    ***BIGGEST CON: Lots of repetitive missions and game-play (what you do in first 5 hours is pretty much same you do in hour 10)
    ***
    Extremely derivative of several other games. Specifically, it felt an awful lot like Mad Max in the Pacific Northwest. There is a main, story quest, but much of the story is introduced through flashbacks that you have to watch, but no participate in. The map consists of a number of "regions," each with a set number of "Get rid of 'x'" or "Find 'y'" quests to help you level or gain trust at various camps to provide discounts at shops and upgrades. These are literally the same quest/activity over and over. It all felt very mechanical to me, and never felt invested in my character. Night day do not feel inherently different. So many aspects that felt all a bit incomplete and half-baked. But, it is fun to play and run around and shoot monsters and take out enemy camps.

    Update December 2020. On PS5, this game is a solid 8. Finished main story and ready to replay as it looks and feels like a different game. Same drawbacks with overall game but PS5 takes it up another level.    … Expand

    It's a really good game despite the critics, the game have some technical problems, some lag when charging new parts of the map and some npcs or objects appearing of nowhere, but asside from all that stuff, days gone have something that makes you keep playing to the end.

    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.
