    Even though i like the ps4 more than the xbox im still going to be completely neutral in this review of Bend Studios Days Gone.

    So im 25+ hours into the game and so far it is really fun when everything works but i've had some bugs in this game for example i played a mission where i was supposed to follow some guy and he just fell into the ground and i had to restart the mission which was really annoying. I also had some other bugs but aside from that this game can be really fun. Another bug i found was that a guy called me the same time the radio was on so i had two people talking at the same time which was annoying.

    The combat in this game is not brilliant. I don't feel like i have to buy any other guns and the ones i've used feels pretty much the same. The combat also feels a bit clunky with the third person camera but overall the combat is just okay to mediocre.

    Some things i liked about Days Gone were the trust system where you had to gain trust to be able to buy the higher tier guns and bike upgrades which is good so you have something to work for and the upgrades to the bike feels rewarding aswell and it makes you want to have a faster and quieter bike. The driving in this game is really fun aswell and it gets even better when you upgrade it. It also didn't get boring for me to drive the bike to all the different locations and i've almost never used fast travel which is a good thing. You also have to take care about your bike because it can break and run out of fuel. If it breaks you need to find scrap from broken cars or you can just find them out while looting and if your fuel runs out you need to find a gas at a gas station or just a can laying somewhere. This part of the game is good and later on you can also upgrade your bike to resist more damage and have a bigger tank.

    The sound of the bike is really good and also is the overall graphics in the game and the overall sound of the game is ok.

    This game also has a perk system where you can choose which type you want to upgrade. There are three types of perks: Melee, Ranged and Survival. I personally found the ranged category the most useful because it made my guns better and more fun to use. Melee is also good. Have not upgraded too much on survival yet but im definetly going to.

    The main storyline at the beginning is to find Deacon's lost wife even though he didn't even knew she was alive. The story itself is pretty good with it's good and bad parts. There is also different storylines so it's not the same the whole time and if you complete a storyline you get some pretty cool awards. My favorite one is the "I Remember" one where you find out about Deacons past in flashbacks which was really cool to see how he acted and how the world looked before the apocalypse. Some storylines is not that good though. I have to help people i don't feel anything and most characters you meet are not memorable which is a big issue in this game.

    So briefly said, the game is fun to play and the best part of this game is the driving and the trust/upgrade system in the game. Story okay and combat mediocre but overall the game is still fun and it is very satisfying just killing freakers with melee attacks. Definetly worth checking out but if your not sure if your going to like it or not you should probably wait for a sale.

    Story - 6.5/10
    Combat - 5/10
    Gameplay - 7/10
    Sound - 7/10
    Graphics 8.5/10
    Fun 8/10
    Upgrading/Trust system 8.5/10

    So after that i give this game 7/10. Definetly not the best game on the ps4 but definetly not the worst. 7/10 is not bad. People just think that because its yellow it's not good but 7/10 for me is a good game.
    Overall fun game and is worth checking out!    … Expand

    The best game of the first half of 2019, without any doubt - a great storyline, the physics of the motorcycle is beyond praise, the hordes of freakers really terrify. Recomend for everybody!

    Like others extremely dissapointed with the game. Same old tired open world repeat quests, gameplay not fun. Sure there is something wrong with the gun play and driving in this game. Plenty of technical difficulties than can ruin quests as the save system needs improving either with better and frequent auto saves or a more leniant hard save.

    8.5 For me. Im really enjoying the game. Good story and good graphics. Had a few issues but Bend Studios are pushing out patches very quickly. Definitely worth picking up.

    What a stellar new IP! Absolutely love the crafting and bike maintenance, it’s just enough to keep you engaged without it getting in the way of fun. The melee combat feels great right off the bat (pun intended) where the gun play needs a few of the skills upgraded to feel really nice, it does get there however! Overall it’s a solid 8.5 and a fun factor for me of 10!

    • Solid gameplay

    • Horde battles are very intense
    • Bike traversal is satisfying
    • Likable characters

    Cons
    • Audio hiccups and bugs that cut out ambient noise
    • Limited gun selection
    • Repetitive side missions

    Overall this game is a solid 8.5 but rounded it up to a nine because I liked my time in this world so much. In a game atmosphere where zombies are not a threat, its is nice to see a game where they can destroy you in seconds if you are not careful.    … Expand

    There were however more bugs in this game then there should have been at launch, but a number of them seem to be patched already, and I am sure since it is a first party game, sony will make sure the rest are fixed asap. The only bug I have personally come across is an audio bug.

    One other thing, for those saying the game offers nothing new....I completely beg to differ. It is a third person shooter with stealth and fun as hell melee...standard stuff....but man I had ridden my bike past a number of zombies on the side of the road...typical stuff in any game that has a vehicle...you can just ride past...which is mostly true....till bam one comes running at me out of no where leaps through the air and tackles me off my bike while I am cruising by....next thing I know I am having to run to get the hell out of there as about 8 are running at me....took a little work and maneuvering to clear them out just to get back to my bike. Then you have the swarms...I happened to come across one where I can hear them, below...I am on a cliff about 40 feet above them thinking I am safe and go to the edge to look down at them......nope, suddenly they all start to agro as they spot me.....and next thing I know they are headed straight off the cliff and I am running for my life again.....good stuff....then don't even get me started on the creepy newts. There are many good experiences in this game...give it a chance and play it, ignore the "middling" critics scores.    … Expand

Honestly cannot even comprehend the undeserving and disrespectful reviews, it's as if we're playing two different games LOL?!?!? extremely unwarranted on a game that a team has clearly worked very hard on, and it shows from the beginning, IMO anyway!

    Just for Graphics, World building, Sound, Gameplay and Setting this game deserves a solid 6/10
    I guess where you can kick it down on a little is the Bugs, Story, Zombie Genre and the lack of Multiplayer. (Because lets be honest, how cool would it be to roam DaysGone with a 2 players Co-op ?)

    Yes, the game bogs down and drags a bit....and yes...there are some inital bugs that plaque the game. But, when does this not happen with a new relase ?

    That being said.... This game is GREAT!! I got in on relase date and I have barely put it down this whole weekended. Now tell me, if a game was really 0/10 or maybe 2/10. Would I play it this much ? A game that is a 0/10 is something you cannot even stand to play 30 minutes.

    Speaking of playing a lot...I only just scratched the surface of this game. I think im still only 34% into the story! And I sunk a decent 15 hours into this already!

    And not even side-tracking and wasting time. Just doing ingame stuff !

    The gameplay is solid. The vibe is just wonderfull. And the tense moments just make it so great.
    I dont think I can say anything that has not already been said by other people.

    LIke I said, I guess this game is not everybody's "cup-of-tea" so to speak, but if you`re into the whole post-apocolypse with free roaming and third person shooting ?? you really can't go wrong with this game.

    The game is fantastic. The mechanics are so well done. killing freakers never gets old. You will often jump off your bike to kill them. And fighting an entire horde is one of the most satisfying things you will ever do in this game.
    The voice acting is so good. The dialogue is well written and the overall story was really enjoyable. The game did not feel repetitive to me in any way, shape or form. I got the platinum trophy on one play-through and that's so cool. The world is so beautiful.
    IF I had one criticism its the black screen transition from gameplay to cutscene and then back again. After being spoilt on continuous screen play from Horizon, God of war and Uncharted, I feel that Bend could have used this and don't understand why they didn't. But, it doesn't matter. I absolutely loved the game. I really, really hope that the sales do well and we can get a sequel.    … Expand

(if you don't count surviving factors such as water, food or temperature...its a game and i find those factors annoying)

    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

After being thoroughly disappointed by every major release of 2018 and 2019 to this point I’m so glad to have a genuinely awesome game to play. And no micro transactions. If not for the losers that come on here rating games a zero this game would be a solid nine plus.

I almost cancelled my pre-order after reading all the negative reviews, but after around 20 hours in, this is already my favorite game this year. Absolutely love the atmosphere, visuals, sound, and gameplay. The story and characters aren't mindblowing, but they're good enough to keep you interested and motivated. There are a few audio bugs that were annoying, but nothing remotely game breaking.

    People talk about the game not innovating, but I have never played a game with massive hordes of fast moving zombie/freaker enemies like this. All the enemies in the game are dynamic and interact as well, so you never know what you will run into. I have seen a massive horde invade a marauder camp and easily wipe out all 20 of my enemies while I hid in the bushes in a thunderstorm. Coolest thing I have ever seen happen dynamically in a game. Other times, wolves and bears will take down freakers for you, or you may catch them feasting on enemies you recently took down. The setting is also unique, and helps to build an amazing atmosphere that just feels right. The developers did an amazing job with the world and location, making it feel alive and more apocalyptic than any game I've ever played. The Pacific Northwest thunderstorms, rain, and fog look perfect, and build the perfect setting for this type of game. I would even say it nails the atmosphere better than almost any zombie movie ever has. Truly amazing work!

    The graphics here blew me away as well (PS4 Pro). I would call it a tie with RDR2 for best looking open world game of all time. Textures are perfect, lighting amazing, and the animations and physics are great as well. A few times I have seen the physics get wonky, but nothing too distracting. Little touches like bodies that don't disappear for days, accurate dismemberment that isn't overdone, amazing foliage and ground textures (best I've seen) and dynamic puddles and accumulating snow really stand out. The controls are also great as well. Everything feels incredibly smooth. The handling of the bike and the shooting take some mastering, but stick it out and you get used to them and learn to love the controls. They also improve a ton with earned upgrades.

    The main character is a little quirky and weird, but overall fun to play. The dialog is the weakest point of the game imo, and Deacon will randomly yell at characters out of context or sound out of breath at odd times. Overall though, it does a decent job of making you care about the survivors. The hordes and enemies are the real stars of the game though. The first time you randomly come across a horde of 100+ freakers at night in the wild is absolutely terrifying. Once, I ran out gas at night and was pushing my bike back to camp when they spotted me. I fought (ran) valiantly, but needless to say I didn't last long.

    One thing I haven't seen any review cover is the balance of actual gameplay. It is a great game if you like just wandering and exploring like me. The way that fast travel is unlocked by powering up NERO camps and clearing the roads, tunnels, and infestations between them is really unique and refreshing. The sense of advancing and growing is great too, as your character both improve a ton and you can feel the change. You also feel like you are making a difference in the world as you eliminate hordes and infestations. All great stuff. Challenges are very different if you are fighting a few freakers, a horde, a bunch of gun toting humans, or a freaker bear.

    Overall, this is a top 5 game of the generation for me already, and I'm not even half way through the game. I know reviews are subjective, but I don't see why this game is getting dinged so hard for issues every game has. Even if you are burned out on zombie and or open world games, you should give this game a try!    … Expand

    Unlike some recent games, I don't feel like I'm "playing" a
    movie with snap aiming and strict rails on how I do anything story-related. Instead you have a lot of options, with a story that is there to make everything more meaningful rather than take away your agency.

    This is a really great game with a few small flaws that many of the so called professional reviewers have focused on far too much. But it does have one real flaw which is the pacing. It is a "slow burn". The game gathers pace slowly and it doesn't get really good until you are a fair few hours into it - but if you stick with it through the early stages it's worth it.

    After almost 20 hours of playing, I have trouble putting it down. I almost feel like I'm playing a different game than some reviewers. Most reviews seem to just bring down their score based on it being too similar to other games. While it shares many stylistic choices and gameplay tropes as other games, it does everything so well and I can't for the life of me understand why similarity should be such a heavy negative against it.

    The gameplay is great and provides a wonderful sense of survival while not being too heavy handed. Everything around the motorcycles mechanic makes traversing and taking care of your bike a genuinely enjoyable experience. Something as small as the bike acting as your save point makes wondering the map a strategic affair. The constant threat of zombies in the open world is great and always keeps you on your toes especially up against hordes. It borrows many stealth mechanics from other games, coming together to allow Days Gone to excel at taking out base camps and zombie nest locations, incredibly stealthy. All the systems just come together to really make you feel like you're somewhat helpless in the world but capable if you're smart about things.

    The world is fantastic and exploring freely is both rewarding and tense. Not to mention the weather mechanics in the game are a sight to see. From snow gradually building upon the ground to the way the forest trees sway in a storm. There's always something to do and thanks to the light survival mechanics, there are reasons to return to previously explored areas.

    The game also just looks incredible. It's visually up the standards Sony games have created and presents many cutscenes to enjoy the story. I'm not too far in the story and while it's not mind-blowingly captivating, it does create enough interest to find out where things go and your main character is arguably the best part.

    The only real issue that doesn't by any means ruin the game but should be noted as an odd level of presentation is the cutscenes. There are constant black screens between all cutscenes, even with several scenes back to back, which breaks up the presentation in just a jarring way. It does stand out and seems like a strange thing they couldn't smooth out.

    All in all, this game is great for anyone who is a fan of open worlds, survival horror and most action games. I wouldn't be turned off by the low scores and definitely give it a chance if you can.    … Expand

    I mean, this game really isn't that bad, but no way this game gets a 10 or even a 9, come on people... Everything is pretty mediocre and the combat is just straight up terrible, both melee and ranged.

    Good medium not annoying graphic.But one of theworse in my memory story: no logic in dialogue, no motivations for any npc and even main hero.Also e3 movie was fake, theres no over9k zombies like at WWZ.Too many empty and boring sidequests. Its default time2kill game If you do not want use ur brain and love just doing ****

    Initial review was 6/10. After playing more than 30 hours over the weekend:

    I'm sure people have noticed my comments on the outset of the game's release of the game, and I decided to keep it instead of refunding it for a preorder on the new Pokemon because it's been a long time since there has been a "quality" zombie game like this one. (State of Decay 2 was just a copy of SoD 1 IMO    Initial review was 6/10. After playing more than 30 hours over the weekend:

    I'm sure people have noticed my comments on the outset of the game's release of the game, and I decided to keep it instead of refunding it for a preorder on the new Pokemon because it's been a long time since there has been a "quality" zombie game like this one. (State of Decay 2 was just a copy of SoD 1 IMO from what I've seen of streamers playing it, never finished 1). I put the "quality" in quotes here because initially, this game did not seem to be "quality" to me. The beginning of the story was disjointed, I had no idea what the **** was going on, etc. Tbh, if they would have made the beginning of the game playable in any point, that would have hooked me more.

    Like escorting Sarah to the chopper (during that first scene that was what I expected to happen, I do really believe that that was cut from the game) or something to that effect, to get people to care more about those characters from the outset. However, that was not what happened, thus, it took me far longer to identify and have empathy for these characters.

    However, I have now played about 35 hours of the game over the weekend and have about 800 days gone in the game (I don't know if this is an "arbitrary number" or not to be honest) and I have to say, after dealing with a lot of the events in the game, I am so emotionally invested in the game. I'm trying to leave spoilers out, but people can probably guess what happens to Boozer spoiler, and the resulting story-line from that has made me actually CARE about saving Boozer (I highly doubt the game lets you skip story-lines to the point that Boozer would die or something, but the game makes you feel like that'll happen if you don't get it taken care of).

    That's another thing is that upon my initial hour and a half foray into the game, I did not care for Deacon and Boozer. Like, I just did not care who these people were, and why they were there, how they got there, etc, due to the beginning of the game. That's not really how I wanted to phrase it, but close enough. But now after almost 48 hours in the game, I stop at every bandit camp and wipe them out to protect the roads, I stop at every infestation to wipe them out to clean those damn Freakers from the Earth, I like stopping in at camps for the feeling of "I am safe here.", I like hitting up the NERO centers/checkpoints and getting the stat boosts and a good night's sleep (basically the only "sleeping area" I use during the game since I always hit them at night for some reason). I'm even hesitant to go out into the world now because, to me, I just want Deacon and Boozer to be safe and never enter the outside world again. But I know if I let that mindset take me, I'm gonna drop the game, and that is the farthest thing I want right now.

    This game has sunk its jaws into me and will not let go. It's made a lover of this game out of me, even with all the issues it has at the moment (which is like... the one sound bug with the one Exhaust upgrade (Exhaust II does not have this bug, got it last night and never ran into the sound bug with it), FPS issues, and some issues with some areas/missions not completing, seemingly randomly. So probably about 3-5 issues or so for most people), it's an excellent game and I wish a speedy patch recovery for the issues that are happening at the moment. And I don't say this lightly since it takes a lot to change my mind about a zombie game that I considered "crap".

    I'm maybe hoping eventually they run some sort of "community actions" like "Kill 100 million zombies" or something across all players and we get some bike decals or something, but even if they don't, I could see myself running through this game again (even better if there's a NG+ mode or something).

    Begrudgingly, 9/10 game, would buy again. I'm at work right now and considering going home early just to play more of the game before I have to go to sleep lol.

    The only thing I wish is that Bend would take a look at the issues digital copies are having (major FPS loss/artifacting, can't see the screen/environment/enemies) as this is affecting some of my friends' abilities to play the game.    … Expand

    Having played games since the early 80s I have experienced the best and worst, 'Days Gone' draws me into it's world just like 'The last of us' did, even with it's issues I gladly gave it a 9 for effort, if Sony Bend Studio listens to the feedback maybe future updates will gain it a 10.

    I find it incredible that the critics of this game are so low, it is true, it is not a perfect game, however, it is a very complete experience. Definitely not a 10, but I give it to balance the notes of people who surely have not even tried it. My advice if you are interested, is that you give it a chance, you will not be disappointed.

    This game is simply amazing. After seeing the critic reviews and then playing the game I am questioning how much people should listen to reviewers. The low-end scores surprise me, to say the least. The game is something new that provides fun gameplay mechanics with an interesting storyline while at the same time remaining to be a good survival experience.

The low-end scores surprise me, to say the least. The game is something new that provides fun gameplay mechanics with an interesting storyline while at the same time remaining to be a good survival experience. There has not been a zombie style game of this caliber, (open world, third person, and survival), in quite a while. Please keep in mind this game is not trying to be the Last of Us, it's something completely unique on its own. Yes, there are some bugs, but the devs are working hard to patch them (as a couple of patches have already been released). Performance is pretty good, however, it can sometimes dip by 5-10 fps, (keep in mind I'm still playing on the day 1 version of the PS4 which I'm surprised hasn't died yet). Honestly, this game reminds me of "I am a legend" with Will Smith and that's pretty cool. Obviously, it's not as amazing as Sony's GOW, but it's still a fantastic exclusive. Definitely, recommend picking this game up.… Expand

    Had a rough start but as I played on everything started to make sense. I loved the storyline and the character Deakon. The open world sounds were AMAZING!!!

    Did not know this game would be this great. thought it was gonna be another Zombie game which I was wrong Because they are all alive but infected. I like the graphics, plus the wolves I am very scared of when riding on the road    Had a rough start but as I played on everything started to make sense.

    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.
