    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.

    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.

    Days Gone has a lot of technical issues, those that everybody is talking about as the frame rate on PS4 base. That said, I'll focus on the good! Days Gone has a REALLY slow story driving BUT when it gets deep is just GREAT!!! Sounds effects are so good and the music is just AMAZING!!! I am literally expecting those songs to be nominated for The Games Awards!

    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.

    I bought this game for the hordes, but the are rare killed all of the, early two areas have them but they are GROUPS then HORDES, and can be killed easily, Good weapons are unlocked pretty late where there is not much left around to kill B/Z you would already killed most of hordes and enemies.
    AND false advertising! THEY Removed options from the game where you are given a choice to kill

    Half backed, unpolished, seriously buggy, empty, hollow, lackluster, long loading time, really soul less characters, childish story writing AND AI is horrible i.e during gun battle enemies will run toward you so you can easily kill them.

Open world graphics is jaw dropping, weather effects are beautiful. This game offers far more than it seems after first few hours. Also, acting play, dialogs and cutscenes are masterful. One of the most interesting features are so called storylines, which represent missions and those overflapping themselves. Very nicely done! Also "the diary" sections is so well made that it's enyoable to actually go through all the stuff you found and look in to it even more detailed. Great game! FAR from dissapointment! Expand

    It's a fun game, and the story is good. It's not reinventing the wheel and all games don't have to. Missions can get a little repetitive and you will encounter the odd bug. (one NPC wouldn't move for me through the mission so I had to restart at the latest checkpoint, which wasn't too far back in the fight)

There are so many intricate and well-told stories in this game. I don't understand the complaints about repetition... there is variety. You have to consider the outcomes of how you play the game. Go in guns shooting and you're inviting trouble. Sneak and bash enemies, you'll need to repair your weapon. You can't upgrade so you're overpowered. And bike riding, which I was dreading, turned out to be fun. The voice acting isn't great. That's the worst I can say about this game. Nobody thinks this is GOTY, but I can't think of a better game so far this year. BTW, I live in Seattle and the characters talking about the great hordes of "freakers" moving up from California and destroying the Pacific Northwest made me laugh. Spot on!

    Original review: One of the clunkiest openings to any video game I've played. The first hour is just bizarre. But then we settle into the gameplay and the open world and missions and this is a pretty good game. Updates have ironed out any bugs for me, and it looks amazing on a PS4 Pro. I'm now 10 hours into the game and there is definitely depth to the gameplay. It's not nearly as repetitious as some reviewers have said. I thought the motorbike riding would suck but it doesn't. I thought the combat would get dull quickly, but it hasn't. My one gripe is the actor who plays Deacon. The character is fine, but his line delivery is lame. One reviewer said they were playing this while waiting for Rage 2 and I think that's it in a nutshell. If you're looking forward to Rage 2, this will definitely and pleasantly tide you over. Oh, I live in the PNW and they captured the area perfectly.

    Great game, only down side was slow loading times. It seems to break into a cut scene where its not really needed but I'm sure they will improve that in the sequel. Apart from that I loved it and I'm still loving it. The hordes are freaky and the story is great! Graphics are great too!

    The cons on the other hand:
    Performance and bugs can be very present at times but nothing game breaking so far.
    The shooting was awful for the first half of the game but it gets better with upgrades! The pistols suck though, I mean really, they suck. The aiming reticle for the pistols are awful and I've noticed that pistols and crossbows can sometimes aim off to the sides of the reticle.

    Except for those things, I've enjoyed this game lots and lots! I found it more enjoyable and less forced upon me than The Last of Us.
    The open-world formula kind of reminds me of Red Dead Redemption 2 but with a bike. I enjoyed this world more though, but if it has to do with actually being better or personal preference, I don't know.

    If we get a sequel to this one, we can expect some great things to come!

    Repairing the bike is nothing more than pressing and holding a button.
    There’s rivers and lakes everywhere yet no fishing, disappointing.
    The bike always sounds like it’s going fast but seems to move slow.
    The camps seem empty of anything to do.
    The frame rate is dubious at best, but might be fixed in next patch.

    Despite all this, it’s an excellent game and a lot of fun, can’t wait for survival mode

    There are moments in the game that you would be like "SHUT THE HELL UP", Fortunately enough you would be able to skip most of it BUT in one of the final combat you would need to mute you tv b/z that cant be skipped.

The melee combat reminds me of Until Dawn (that's a good thing) bashing zombies and other bad guys with ever better creative melee weapons has not gotten old. The gun play early on is sloppy but as you level up and get better guns it gets much smoother and more satisfying. The pacing is spot on, never so many tasks you feel overwhelmed but not too few either. Nice game play variety as well, stealth missions, run and gun, chasing down bounties, hunting, collecting resources, clearing out nests or taking on a horde, clearing camps on and on. Your bike is much like gun play early on it looks good but feels sloppy but as you level up and upgrade it quickly becomes a pleasure to ride through a beautiful open world that feels alive. Rain, snow, sunshine day or night it's all eye candy.

    The story for me is fantastic. Its straight forward easy to follow and I care! I want to progress to see what will happen next.

    20 Hours in I've had no major bugs at all. Just minor frame rate dips but very rarely. This game is a solid ten for me and I'll be sad when its over. Its rare I replay single player games but I'm guessing I will with this one.

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.

    Bend Studios took a lot of things from the great games of this last 2 gens like The Last Of Us, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc. and tried to compress that on their own version of a Ubigame (you know what im talking about). Same gameplay loop, but with lacks of refinement.

    The bugs, if you happen encounter some of it, are nothing of a game breaking experience.

    The only thing i didnt like was the pace of the game, sometimes you need to do hours of repetitve sidequests to advance further on the story (think Mafia 3, but not THAT bad)

    Sound is excellent, guns really sound impactful especially the .50 cal sniper you get towards the end and the LMG plowing through a large horde. Love the music, you can tell when danger is lurking by the music picking up in volume and intensity.

    All the 'pro' reviewers criticising the protagonist that he's dull and there's no character progression throughout the game. I agree, but that's what Deacon is. A what you see is what you get badass mercenary. You get a short glimpse of his change before and after the disaster. Love his one liners. Voice acting is good not great, you get Deacon sounding calm then hysteric the next sentence.

    The world is a very realistic setting of southern Oregon with real areas like Crater Lake and Wizard Island. A lot of mixture of terrain from forests, desert and snow. Weather changes and affect things like sound. It is easier to sneak up on a camp when a thunderstorm is happening. Day and night cycles also affect you plan of attacks. There are a lot of activities in the open world and LOTS of zombies, infected animals and bad people to kill. I find the open map much busier to similar games like RDR 2.

    The whole game really revolves around Deacon's bike. You can only save (apart from autosave) your game when your near your bike. It is your getaway when **** hits the fan hordes etc. Your ammo replenisher when you are going on a killing spree and your fastest way of getting around the massive map.

    Once you've completed the game and get access to the highest tier of weapons, traps and bombs, you are ready to tackle the Hordes. There are 50 hordes available once you've finished the game, you actually do 3 in the main story. It involves planning and having the right guns for the job (you wouldn't bring your sniper rifle) for this one. Don't want to say anymore but you gotta prep and study the areas and the LMG is your best friend.

    Overall, can't figure out why they scored this less than a 8. Probably the reviewers are all SJWs having a cry about certain things but this game really delivers to story and gameplay. Bugs and glitches stopped me from giving it a 10 but hopefully be ironed out with a few updates.

    First game where I actually think something fishy is going on with the Reviewer scores out there. Days Gone is excellent, excellent story, solid characters, great open world. Im just not seeing where the 5's and 6's are coming from.

    This open world game is a jumble of good points of other open world games.
    But creators managed to organize them on smart way.
    And it is definitely original element that 400 zombies, each of which has independent AI assault player.
    It’s so amazing.

    There still are bugs. If it weren’t, I’d put a 10/10.

    Unfairly panned as a mediocre game by major websites like IGN and it's hard to understand why after 100% completing it (Platinum is relatively easy to achieve if you are invested in the game).

    Definitely deserves a sequel and interestingly is set in the Siphon Filter universe.

The controlls are smooth, and it will get even better when you upgrade your bike. It never got repetitive for me because it's just damn fun!

    1. Подача сюжета. Очень спорная идея внести мысли Дикона по поводу произошедших событий в меню пройденых сюжетных линий. Я туда заглянул часу на 8 игры. Разговоры на байке опять же, которые можно случайно скипнуть воспользовавшись фасттревелом и быстро взяв следующее задание.
    2. Режиссура и постановка сцен. Некоторые сцены и диалоги поставлены очень странно. Похоже у разрабов не было в штате специалиста по "кинцу".
    3. Невозможность сразу, по нажатию кнопки посмотреть подобранный документ.
    4. Не слишком удобное меню оружия/предметов.
    5. Очень однообразные побочные квесты. Учитывая насколько их мало, хотелось бы больше разнообразия. Хотя это скорее к бюджету/срокам относится. Сюда же можно отнести квестовую линию с Тейлором - из нее грубо вырезали несколько квестов в которых Тейлор, очевидно, должен был стать другом Дикона. Из-за того что вырезали, эмоциональное отношение Дикона к происходящему, в конце квестовой линии, вообще не понятно.
    6. Сбор лута. ИМХО, но под конец, сбор пороха и керосина превратился в скучный фасттревел по точкам. Очень скучный, особенно с этими загрузками. Лучше бы дали закупаться расходниками в лагерях, на 3 уровне доверия.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:
    -The gunplay is punchy and satisfying
    -The melee combat is more enjoyable than expected
    -The bike riding handles great and feels great
    -The world is big and beautiful
    -The story is good
    -The main character is actually fantastic. Engrossing and complex- i really liked this performance
    -The supporting cast is strong and varied
    -Some of the activities are really cool. The hordes are exciting, thrilling, and satisfying to defeat
    -Serviceable progression system
    -NO LOOT BOXES, NO MICRO TRANSACTIONS

    Cons
    -It's design is uninspired. You've played this game before. A big open world with side activities, friendly towns that serve as hubs, basic progression systems, and a mix of stealth and combat.
    -It's got some bad voice acting
    -Some activities get repetitive
    -While punchy and satisfying the gunplay is outdated. Reminds me of mass effect 1
    -Crafting is really basic
    -The loot is... limited. There are maybe 8 items you pick up and combine for tools like molotovs, health kits, ect...
    -The selection of guns could be better. There are a decent number but not enough to make it a positive

    Overall: Day's gone is a game you have played before. Everything in this game has been done and done again. Not only is it's overall structure commonplace in this industry- but the fact it's a zombie game is itself very common. Yet at the same time it is a breath of fresh air. It isn't trying to jam you with loot boxes, and it isn't trying to break new ground. It is a game that takes common mechanics and mixes them together to make a good single player game. While it may be unoriginal and repetitive the simple fact of the matter is this- I had fun. I enjoyed playing this game and I feel the my dollar to fun ratio was good and maybe even great. I can say with certainty that it is a great game.

You know when in AC games you're up and climbing that 70th viewpoint to get that necessary synchronization, while questioning your life beliefs in the background? This game doesn't have that - it delivers just enough not to make it feel like a chore, everything is dynamic and most importantly - fun.

    -inimigos e o mundo:Days Gone é um mundo aberto cheio de "vida" ops , quero dizer , cheio de morte hehe , o mapa esta infestados destas criaturas chamadas "freakers" , estas criaturas vagam ora em bando ora solitárias, a inteligencia artificial deles é baixa, tal como esperamos, enfrentar um ou dois no começo do jogo pode até não trazer muito desafio, a coisa começa a se complicar drasticamente com o aumento deste número, que chega as centenas de inimigos simultâneos , para enfrentar essa quantidade absurda de inimigos (chamada no jogo de horda) é preciso se programar para ter munição , bombas , molotovs e tudo mais o que for possível, inclusive o cenário como por exemplo explodindo um caminhão de combustível quando estes estiverem passando por perto, é muito divertido fazer isso, os comandos são precisos na medida do possível, até porque existe uma árvore de habilidade a se melhorar, por exemplo, no inicio do jogo vc pode achar a mira imprecisa, mas isso pode ser melhorado na árvore de habilidades que vai liberando pontos para que vc invista na melhoria do personagem, existem basicamente três seções a serem evoluidas, resumindo e simplificando são: seção de melhoramento de ataques corpo a corpo/ tiro e sobrevivência, não vou me alongar sobre o que melhora para não estragar a surpresa, mas o personagem depois de desbloquear algumas destas habilidades (são muitas) já nós dá muita opção para conseguir combater.Além dos freakers também lutamos contra reapers (uma gangue de lunáticos que raspam a cabeça e ficam parecidos com os freakers) , bandidos (ficam espalhados no mundo) e vira e mexe nos emboscam aleatoriamente, também tem a opção de após achar acampamentos destes bandidos ataca-los para deixar o mundo mais seguro, toda vez que vc toma um acampamento destes te da a opção de procurar uma passagem subterrânea para desbloquear a posição de alguns postos nero (explico depois) e também uma receita para fazer ou melhorar algum iten, como por exeplo colocar pregos em um pedaço de madeira tornando a arma mais efetiva, os postos Nero são postos abandonados de pesquisa , toda vez que vc encontra um tem que ligar o gerador para desbloquear a porta, para isso você precisa de combustível que normalmente está em algum ponto perto, ao ligar o gerador algumas sirenes podem alarmar chamando inimigos indesejados, é possível desarmar esta sirenes antes de acionar o gerador, quando você consegue entrar nestes pequenos postos sempre tem uma maleta azul que tem um injetor dentro, que serve para vc "upar" saude, resistência (serve para correr e rolar) ou foco (recurso que diminui o tempo por alguns instantes).
    História: aqui é onde a coisa realmente me chamou a atenção , este NÃO é um jogo de lootiar (explorar recursos) sem história como por exemplo state of decay 2, não me entendam mal, eu realmente gostei muito de SOD2, mas não tinha absolutamente nenhuma história para balancear, em Days Gone vc se importa tanto com protagonista (Deacon) quanto com o melhor amigo dele (boozer) , quando vc abre um acampamento novo se pega tentando entender as dificuldades do(a) líder te fazendo gostar ou não do personagem por causa disso, também não vou entrar muito neste história para não estragar a experiência ao conhecer estes personagens, mas saiba que a história está muito boa, os personagens são carismáticos e da vontade de jogar cada vez mais, eu poderia continuar este texto por mais algumas dezenas de linhas mas daqui para frente acho que você tem que jogar para ter a sua impressão, vou usar estes meus últimos comentários sobre o jogo para criticar a "crítica especializada", foi vergonhoso as análises que vi deste game, é verdade que existem bugs no jogo, mas depois das atualização (feitas na mesma semana de estreia) resolveram 95% dos bugs, na minha experiência tive pouquíssimos problemas, totalmente aceitável para o tipo de jogo, o loading realmente demora um pouco, mas nada absurdo, as vezes a inteligência artificial dos inimigos fica um pouco atrapalhada, mas não é constante esse problema, dou 10 para este jogo, não está no nível de the last of us, mas coloco ele em um degrau logo abaixo, o que não é demérito, jogasso, me divertiu muito, até o momento é o melhor que joguei este ano (2019)!!!

The story, the flashbacks, and the dialogue in between missions immerses you into this world immediately, so you actually care about surviving and trying to solve the mystery in the story. The survival mechanics are all very solid, if you crash your bike into zombies you have to scavenge nearby cars for spare parts. Luckily, it's the apocalypse so there's abandoned cars everywhere. The first 10 hours are maybe the slowest pacing of the game, I didn't find it too boring but those who don't like dialogue in games might be pressing the skip button a lot. The last 20-30 hours of story are a huge roller coaster of emotion and action. I was captivated the whole time. Fans of games like Fallout or Mass Effect will appreciate the side quests and exploration involved. The only boring missions might be the stealth missions which are somewhat Ubisoft-esque and kinda cliche but the story captivated me. I'd give it a 9.5 but there's only an option for 10 or 9, so.

    I'm am absolutely loving my time with this game. I have not beaten it yet because i'm taking it slowly. I've unlocked only about half the map at this point. The world they have created is a joy.
    I live in the Pacific Northwest and It really does feel like home. The motorcycle is a wonder touch to the open world game play. Are there bugs? oh my yes. But I have not experienced any game

But I have not experienced any game breaking bugs yet. Mostly just silly little things involving physics. The sort of thing you might see in any large open world game. This game will stick with me for a long time and CERTAINLY whets my appetite for The Last of Us 2.

    Really good game, a big story divided in several storylines about different aspects of the plot, the open world it's engaging big and grimly beautiful, the game mechanics are well balanced but have their difficulty, aspect that its another protagonist in the game along the main character and the bike which is vital to the open world gameplay, introduces innovative mechanics to the genreReally good game, a big story divided in several storylines about different aspects of the plot, the open world it's engaging big and grimly beautiful, the game mechanics are well balanced but have their difficulty, aspect that its another protagonist in the game along the main character and the bike which is vital to the open world gameplay, introduces innovative mechanics to the genre like the hordes, the downside of the game are the bugs that pretty much in its entirety are patched and that pretty much every open world game haves but what the game most suffers of its from being compared to other games like The last of us and the frustration of those people comparing it because it is not that game.

    This game has some issues sure, for example some technical problems and the control takes some time getting used to it BUT the game is so much fun. I’ve been playing this game for about 25 hours In the past week and I can’t put it down, the story is interesting the characters are beliveable and the hords are the big highlight of this great game!

    Best surprise of 2019. So when I saw the initial critic reviews I thought uh oh, here's another potential flop, after Anthems lack of content I thought this might be another over hyped game.

The zombie movement and sounds resembles that of World War Z, with the rippers and other human factions similar to that as seen in The Walking Dead. The game is beautiful and the story is intriguing and well voice acted for a zombie apocalypse shooter. The game-play is good and driving fun. If there is one thing this game has taught me, is that I should not listen to critics every time. If you enjoyed Mad Max, or if you like zombie open world games, get this now, you won't be disappointed. Expand

    The game is amazing. Big reviewers love to hate. Sure there are some glitches, but nothing game breaking. I feel there is plenty to do, and new things to go after. The world is beautiful and the attention to your bike is nice. Story is good, and the music and cut scenes are great!

I think the reviews massively misrepresent this game and are written by people who just don't understand what this game is intended to be. Complaints about needing to fuel and repair your bike/weapons...to me that's realism and I'd actually like the game to include more survival mechanics such as hunger and thirst. Reviews stating that the shooting mechanics are bad...I don't know but I see it as a design choice. Deacon is not military trained (to my knowledge) and so why should he be able to pop headshots like a badass all the time.
    It is not perfect but what game is. I love the weather system, the environments, the visuals, the soundtrack and story.
    I haven't run into any performance issues yet but I didn't play until after the latest patch so can't comment on those. I understand why they would make an individual feel negative about a game but when they've been addressed as quickly as they have with this game, I'd hope that reviewers would go back and reflect this in their scoring

    Great game, story, but also has some bugs and FPS problems, and that's why i won't give it a 10! It's a shame that the first version of this game was released with lots of bugs and issues, and i'm sure that's the reason why the final notes of the game aren't so good! Give a chance to this game, it wil surprise you!

    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.

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.

    Graphically the world is gorgeous. While some performance issues steal a bit of what can be admired. Patches have helped those issues and Bend Studio is commuted to further improving them, along with adding free content drops.

    The perfect example of a game that "is good, not great". The way I see it, the biggest issue with Days Gone is the weight of being a "PS4 exclusive", which immediately puts it in comparison with masterpieces like God of War, Horizon New Dawn, Last of Us and Uncharted. Days Gone is not even close of being as good as those games. And that is fine.

Days Gone is not even close of being as good as those games. And that is fine.

    It is a typical, repetitive, open world game with a main quest, side stories, upgrades and leveling up. If this was not a PS4 exclusive I'm pretty sure most of the reviews would describe it as a very decent zombie game.

    There are some flaws and the occasional glitch; but it gets the job done. The story is mostly interesting -so are the characters and the world they live in- killing zombies is fun, driving in a motorcycle and worrying about damage and fuel gives a post-apocalyptic vibe to exploring the map and the AI -which can be stupid- still offer some challenges (the hordes can be extremely difficult to deal with, especially early on).

    Let's move on and give Days Gone some space to breathe. Like I said, the game is good, not great. And there is no problem with that.

    What an amazing game! Truly cannot understand a rating of 72. It makes no sense to me. Great story, great acting, good leveling and a few unique systems. It’s hard not to compare this to post apocalyptic zombie version of Red Dead Redemption 2. Motorcycles instead of horses - really great!

    One small tip, it feels a little less sluggish with the camera sensitivity turned to 8.

    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.
