    Con 20 horas de juego me parece un gran juego, buenas mecánicas, historia, jugabilidad, sistema de combate. Tiene algunos fallos técnicos pero no al nivel que la prensa y los haters quieren hacer ver, en lo personal no he tenido ningún bug que me impida disfrutar el juego. No merece las criticas que ha tenido.

It's different in a sense that the gunplay feels similar to other games but at a higher difficulty, where you have to slow down and make you shots count (hence it is a survival game). The bike feels weird and off at first but after learning it,
    its incredibly satisfying. No microtransactions, upgrades to skill tree and bike are not dreadfully grindy. There are different difficulty settings for the replayability (easy, medium and hard).    … Expand

    Game looks great and has lighting on a par with Horizon Dawn, great weather effects too. Sound is used very well to create a spooky atmosphere and the music is hauntingly beautiful at times.

    Stealth combat is smooth and enjoyable. At first I thought it was too easy but, on hard, you get torn to pieces easily if you mess up so I see why they weighted stealth in the players favour.

    Gunplay is good enjoyable against human opponents but poor against monsters until you upgrade a few things and get a decent automatic weapon. It's possible they wanted the player to initially feel helpless against a rushing group of freakers when you're armed with just a pistol. If so, mission accomplished :s To be honest, I think they wanted the player to deal only with 3-4 freakers at once, max, and to melee them, so don't expect great gunplay versus freakers on 'hard'. The guns have a great feeling of impact and real resonance, with meaty sound effects that echo through the hills and mountain.

    Combat against human opponents allows for many ways to deal with a situation creatively. Bear traps you lure enemies into, stealth, guns blazing, silent crossbow, sniping or a mixture of all. Rarely, you can coax freakers into a bandit camp.

    There are lots of Far Cry type things to do. Clear nests out, upgrades to find etc... Only you know if that's your kind of thing.

    The bike seemed too sensitive at first but I quickly got used to it and I enjoy the feel of it. I like the fact it's a mobile save point too, it's a nice little mechanic that leaves you feeling unsafe when you leave it too far away.

    I'd give an 8.5 if possible and am very pleased with the game, don't listen to the naysayers, or critics who judged it for political/cultural reasons.    … Expand

    Los gráficos del juego están a la altura de cualquier triple A actual, aunque ciertos elementos como las físicas podrían ser mejores. Pero es comprensible sacrificar estos detalles en pos de colocar tantos enemigos en pantalla. Por lo demás es una delcia visualmente.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is actually a very solid one, when I read reviews from it giving it a 5, a 6 I could not understand how the same people could give a better vote to Anthem, but it happened. So I got curious. The Game has an Amazing Graphic and environment, it is a pleasure to get lost into it, there is always something to do, and while some cry "It is repetitive", well, RDR2 is repetitive, most of the Open world games are, some activities are going to be in this kind of games, but in this game your approach will change depending on the situation, it will vary a lot. It is not a Zombie game, as a matter fact the Freakers are living beings (like I am Legend with Will Smith) and their presence in the game is felt, greatly, you will be places in a situation where you know how to handle them at some point in the first few hours, only to be humbled by a change in the weather and numbers of them, and you will find out that they are very practical hunters if you do not flee or have the means to fight them. The hordes are stuff of nightmares and you will be honestly scared when you face your first one, same goes for the second and third, a small error and you will lose against it. The Day/Night cycle is amazing as the need for scavenging. The world is reach with events and missions that are not necessarily available unless you happen to walk there at the right moment. The weapons and how their quality change their damage output and performance is brilliant, you could have the best weapon in the game but have it in Junk condition, and just be able to barely use it. The crafting is also very interesting and let you stock on materials and items to use later. The bike is not just a movement asset, it does give you bonuses depending also on pieces you install on it. The bad part and reason for not giving a 10: The IA from human enemies is somewhat lacking, which makes the game enjoyable, but would have contributed better to a terror environment if they reacted a little bit more natural when finding a body (if they do that at all), I would have introduced the possibility to carry a corpse to avoid being spotted, alas, that is not in the game. Last bad thing to me is the shooting, it is not the best shooting I have ever had, it could have been better, but it does not tarnish the game.… Expand

    Is it rough around the edges? Yes. (Glitches) What really shines here (shockingly) is the story and the pacing of the story. Like the early years of "The Walking Dead," the character development is amazing and gets you caring about all of the side stories, along with the main narrative.

I've never seen it done this way.

    + The gameplay and story are what makes this game. The motorcycle riding and gun play never get old.

    - It's a shame that after 6 years of development they couldn't add more faces. Every rescued person has the same 2 faces. Also, the perks that you can add aren't that exciting to work toward getting. Personally, it would have been great to add more "rpg" elements. Oh the glitches! There are a ton! Hopefully they will get fixed through updates.

    In the end, I don't see why some critics are saying it's a "generic zombie story." Every story about zombies is going to be similar in some way. The narrative around solving the Horde problem, while developing the characters involved is what hooked me.

    Oh, and killing hordes is INTENSE. You REALLY have to plan it out and prepare. This makes it unlike other "Generic Zombie Games" with mindless zombie killing.    … Expand

I usually only take the time to give a negative review to games, but after getting Days Gone and seeing how many things the game does not only right, but fantastically right, and seeing the hacks who clearly didn’t finish the game or are not experienced enough in the field they pretend to be knowledgeable in.

    The games biggest problems are minor system issues (on base PS4), and the games chosen genre. Honestly, the idea of another zombie game put me off this title initially more than anything.

    But the games positives are legion. The way the story unfolds so you’re not left with the typical open world dissonance of having a goal your character NEEDS to accomplished while constantly doing smaller tasks. Traveling is fun and easy. Locations are varied and typically rewarding to explore. I could go on and on, but this is a meta critic review so I’m gonna keep it simple.

    The acting and writing might be the most organic and believable I’ve ever seen in a game. Especially the actor for Deacon. It’s the best acting I’ve ever seen in a game. Hands down. Microexpressions that you can read and understand, dialogue and actions that stay consistent with the character, I could go on and on. He’s done an amazing job as have the people animating him.

    This game is easily a 9. Probably even a bit higher, but certainly not deserving of the low scores the pedantic hacks who make-up the ‘games journalism’ industry have given it. Give it a rent if you’re on the fence, but you will not regret buying it.

    No microtransactions, no season pass, just a great, sometimes ground-breaking game that I hope sells gangbusters but God knows it deserves it.    … Expand

    Bugs and the occasional freeze aside, I had a genuine good time playing through the game. It opens with a relative weak first act, but manages to suck you in as soon as you get to the third Zone (the game starts with two accessible).

    The open world is beautifully designed and filled with threats of all kind. Especially at night, when the Zombies get stronger, random events or miscalculations can catch you on the wrong foot easily. Earlier on in my playthrough I had overestimated my fuel reserves and was stranded near a Graveyard at night in the rain. I sneak-stabbed my way through some random stragglers to an old shack on the far side of the graveyard and luckily found a Fuel Canister there, only to notice that a horde had cut off the way back to my empty bike. Thus an intense 15 minute long Journey back began. I ended up having more "fun" with this, than the actual mission I was originally heading towards. The open world with its hordes and the survival aspect of the game are, unlike me, great at writing stories like this.
    If you liked "The Last of Us" and hated the fact that there was no open world, this is definitely the game i would recommend to you.    … Expand

    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

    As far as gameplay, There's a mass open world with various missions, but it all gets repetitive fast. No need to worry about playing on the hardest difficulty, as that setting is pretty easy. On a technical side - the load times are AWFUL. Maybe it's due to all the zombie herds (which there honestly aren't that many of).

Throughout my play through, I have experienced a few minor glitches here and there, but that’s to be expected as it came out only a few days ago. The biggest complaint I have about the game is the frame rate drop; when driving your bike in certain areas of the game, the frame rate absolutely sucks, and the game is unbearable to play. This only happens a few times through a play through, though. Also, I like the combat/crafting/skills system, except I think the hand to hand combat is rather bland. I do think that it should be tweaked so that it’s more interesting to the player, rather than having to repeatedly press R2 over and over again.

    Puntos negativos a destacar: la verdad hecho en falta variedad de enemigos, me refiero a grupos como los "RIP", personajes que me encantan, podrían haber hecho otros grupos de supervivientes más destacables como ellos; puede parecer un poco pesado el hecho de estar atento a la gasolina de tu moto y estar arreglándola cada dos por tres, pero por el contrario no es tan mal punto, ya que ésto le da más protagonismo a la moto y no es solo un simple medio de transporte; y por último, lo que sucede en la gran mayoría de sandbox, que las misiones pueden llegar a parecer un poco repetitivas si llevas mucho tiempo de juego.

    Muy buen juego, no es perfecto y por momentos se repite un poco, pero en la industria he visto juegos más repetitivos y con peores bugs que este y no reciben tanta mala crítica.

    El mejor juego que he jugado en mi vida, claro que detrás de God of War, pero aún así vale mucho la pena, ojalá tenga secuela.

    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.

    Gioco fantastico, non capisco perchè stia prendendo voti così bassi. L'atmosfera è egregia, i suoni e le musiche eccezionali. Anche la storia è ben scritta. sono a 20 ore di gioco e non mi riesco a staccare. gli unici difetti sono un frame rate un po instabile e troppi stacchi tra gameplay e video. Per il resto è un ottimo gioco.

There’s no comparison. Check the game out yourself and make up your own mind and don’t listen to BS reviews. I’m enjoying the game myself and a very impressed with the end result. I feel a bit sorry for Sony Bend getting this kind of undeserved negative reaction after all their hard efforts. The game is solid.… Expand

    I created a metacritic account just to help offset all the angry neckbeards that only log in to give games a 0 because it didn't get a 10.

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. Dont let the critics disourage you, or rent it from RedBox for a night first, that's what I did and went and bought it full price after the weekend.… Expand

This game does not walk you through the story holding your hand. You have to use your brain a little bit. You're not going to face enemies that are out of control difficult, maybe hordes. Hard mode is not really "hard" and the AI should be improved on human enemies. However, if you are looking for a story that is deep, good character development, sweet graphics, and an overall good time, this is it. This is not a Sony classic and will have trouble finding it's way onto a Top 25 PS4 games list. However, it is worth your 30 hours and you will enjoy it!… Expand

    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.
