    Awesome game. This game feels like a great John Carpenter movie. Great story, beautiful graphics, amazing soundtrack/audio, amazing weather effects, cool environments, beautiful animations. One of the best post-apocalyptic games ever.

    Days Gone is okay. It's not great, and certainly isn't in the top echelon of AAA single player titles, but it's also not bad either.

    Days Gone, for me, is a solid 7.5 game. It could easily have been an 8.5 with better combat, which is probably my biggest issue with the game. DG has both melee and gun/ranged combat but does neither well. Ranged combat suffers from some truly terrible aim mechanics, while melee is a dull affair. Also, the enemy AI is really - *really* - bad. Combat does get better as you add skills but compared with other top titles, combat in Days Gone is a disappointment.

    The game world flatters to deceive. It's pretty but there's no real depth or detail to it. You don't really find anything interesting as you explore and the game doesn't tell stories through its world like the best games now do. Overall, the world you explore has a very bland feel to it.

    Everything else is pretty good, though there's no real stand out features. The stories are okay, the characters are okay, the visuals are okay, etc.

    I hope the game does well enough that Bend has a chance to learn and improve, but for me the game deserves the mixed reception that it's receiving.    … Expand

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

    In my 20 hrs of playing so far I haven't encountered any bugs, neither the performance issues. I am playing on PS4 Pro and there was one data streaming freeze for about 4 seconds when approaching the 1st camp with bike at high speed. So the game was loading in assets. Happens with a lot of games. The story is interesting, it is not as good as Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Last of Us, but it does have value. World is impressive and fun to explore, zombies are terrifying to encounter. AI is not as dumb as some of the reviews say, I think it is a perfect line between realistic and fun.

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

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

    I am very happy my friend told me to ignore these stupid critic reviews and get it on day one which I did and I have no regrets!

    The game is 9, but I am giving it a 10 because of all the undeserved hate it is getting. The first 3 hours are a 7 which tells me most reviewers didn't play past the 3 hr point. But you know what? The game gets a LOT better the more you play. It's as good as any AAA open world title out there. Kind of reminds me of a cross between Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption.

    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 hope Bend is working on a open world Syphon Filter for PS5 because this game was a tease for me, it feels like a refined/modernized version of gameplay from the classic Syphon Filter games but in the high desert with freakers, bikes and a open world to boot. Love It!

    One thing i wish was in the game was the taser like in Syphon Filter. The taser was so much fun in those games and it would be a blast to use one in Days Gone.

    I also dig the fact that it doesn't have microtransactions/live services and all that other nickel and dime stuff we've come to know over the last decade or so. This also contributes to that old school feeling i get with Days Gone, back in a time where you got a full gaming experience without content being cut and resold at a later date or being constantly nagged to buy skins/cosmetics/virtual currencies. I see Bend's passion by not forgetting how gaming use to be before all the greed and i reward them with my hard earned money as a thank you in return to keep doing what they are doing.

    I haven't had any technical issues with the game that i see some reporting with the game which is great news for me i guess. I'm on the Pro model so i don't know if that matters. The only thing that kinda sucked for me was the wonky AI in the game but since the world is so gorgeous and the story is good i can easily get myself immersed into the game and overlook the AI issues most of the time. That is really about my only gripe is the AI, everything else has been pretty great after 17 or so hours of play.

    Thanks Bend Studio for helping me keep my faith in gaming alive by giving me a full product for my money without the added BS and a fantastic game to boot.    … Expand

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.

    A good game, an interesting story.
    Fantastic weather system, day and night cycle, great model
    driving. The game stopped me at the TV for a long time and I played
    well. I do not say anything about the technical side, it's important that the fun is fantastic. :)

    This game has great gameplay, a likable protagonist and an engaging story. The game makes me CARE for the characters that Deacon interacts with and that's something only a few other games have done to me. Overall Days Gone is pretty fun with plenty of story and side content to invest in.

    Totally don't understand the negative scores by reviewers/critics. Well, maybe I do... IGN and Gamespot don't like white males (probably some beef there) and have sticks up their asses.

    Anyway, onto the game: I give Days Gone a 9.5/10. This game brings so much to the genre. Think about it: Bend Studio has done something phenomenal here, and with about 130 devs (as opposed to 2500 that Rockstar had working on RDR2): they made an OPEN WORLD game AND a linear/narrative story all-in-one. It's absolutely amazing! Sure, there are a few "issues" but nothing that really breaks immesion. In fact, the atmosphere in Days Gone is one of the best I've ever experienced! The graphics and sound design BOTH are absolutely stunning. The ambient sounds, the gun sounds, the weather, wildlife, footsteps...voice acting... WOW! all just sounds truly amazing! And when you enter a tunnel or a cave... OMG...it feels so real and natural. Then there's the music/soundtrack - amazing! I love the dynamic weather, the day/night cycle... everything is so systemic and unpredictable... and then, on top of that, Bend Studio has wrapped an entire full story around the game, with SIX HOURS of cinematics. We need to take a step back and just realize how lucky we are as PS4 gamers... and all this done with a small (ish) team of about 130 devs. Naughty Dog is more than TWICE that number and they don't make open world games... just linear stories. Don't get me wrong, I love ND games too... but all their games are on rails. In conclusion, all I can say is "THANK YOU, BEND STUDIO!" Days Gone is one amazing game which does not deserve the **** scores that some reviews have given.

    If you are a player on the fence, wondering about whether Days Gone is good or not, based on those stupid review scores, I say give it a go... your 60 bucks are well spent. There's so much worse out there for that price. Plus, Bend Studio is patching the **** out of the game DAILY and fixing the problems that some of the reviewers are **** about.

    If you buy the game and love it as much as I do, give the devs your support on here and let them know how you feel! Send the love! They deserve way better than the scores the reviews have given them. They're also responding (already) to player comments about the bugs, and fixing them in patches.... and the game has only been out for 2 days! THANK YOU Bend Studio!    … Expand

    Sony Bend has captured the atmosphere of a post apocalyptic world, where one careless step could put you within the grasp of a horde of frenzied freakers. Is Days Gone perfect? No, of course not, but as i said, even the untouchable Red Dead (which i love btw) is far from perfection, especially on the gunplay and melee combat, but for those of us who choose to forgive its imperfections and enjoy it for what it is Days Gone it might be a hell of a ride.

First of all, it is easily one of the best looking games on PS4, I played on pro with 4K TV and HDR on, the environment in Days Gone is phenomenal , so is the atmosphere since weather varies in different time and different area, especially in rain, things look surprisingly realistic, and the more time I played the more I found it amazing how Bend studio managed to do great optimization work on this game with UE4 since it's a real open world when compared with uncharted 4, and it runs smoothly in most of part of gameplay. The main issues laid on story line and audio playing, just as some of the critics mentioned, at the begin hours of the game, with a lot of things remained unexplained, it can be very confusing when thinking about what the protagonist do, but things get more and more clear with the development of story, the biggest problem to me is the unnatural facial expression and strange conversation audio playing in some parts, which makes the gameplay less immersive. Overall to me, Days Gone is definitely not a 50,60 score game, at least 75, while because I'm still in progress, maybe it's gonna be lower or higher when I complete it, but so far so good is what I say.… Expand

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

Days Gone is an excellent example of thought out emergent gameplay that is far more nuanced and original than you would expect. You have to plan engagements and be deliberate to survive. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time playing with combat being fluid but difficult (difficulty adds greatly to the fun). Hordes are as expected a technical marvel and very fun to encounter as you can also use them as weapons and watch the carnage.

    Story: I found Days Gone to start slow but really hit home as It got warmed up, one Storyline in particular where you save a young girl was outright shocking but In a meaningful and well thought out way something that is present in most storylines (you get multiple). I genuinely think this is a great strength of the game.

    Graphics: Some of the best on the system to date, the environment looks natural and the weather system is the best I have seen. I have found the frame rate to be quite solid (with occasional non-impacting stutter) on the PS4 Pro, far better than Red Dead Redemption 2 that for me felt very floaty with an unplayable FPS (I never finished it because of this).

    Sound: Again like the graphics the sound is superb.

    Bugs: The game has quite a few however I have found that the devs have been very fast to patch and as a result during my play-through I experience very few and nothing that broke the game.

    Overall: This is a refreshing take on a genre I thought I would not play again added this is a solid singleplayer with no microtransactions and free DLC on the way (bonus points) Kudos to Bend Studios, I look forward to what you produce next.    … Expand

The jobs/errands you have to do for the camps are for a big part similiar (kill a bad guy, confirm his kill basically) yes, but that makes sense since you gotta do the dirty work for the camps to earn money, so I see no problem with that in this context.
    Following is a list of things that prevent this game of being perfect:
    - shooting when your are not in the "focus-mode" feels kinda weird and even with all skills that improve aim and such it's still not the best.
    - human AI is bad. Not just the enemies, but also when you have a companion in the battle
    - there are random encounters in the world. When you have one where you have to save hostages, the hostages are the same NPC every. single. time. You also see this particular npc a lot wandering in the camps.
    - dialogue and sub titles are sometimes asynchronous
    - black screens and loading screens for 1-3 seconds between cutscences and gameplay sections can destroy immersion

    It’s a very good game with great graphics and sound ,plenty of missions that help you to understand a lot of things about the main story without being boring.The handle of the bike is very good but you have to understand the way that you sould drive in order to avoid the destruction of your bike .

    Jogo com ambientação incrível. Belos cenários, e visual. Os inimigos são muito medonhos, em um sentido bom, é claro. A história tenta se desprender de outras obras apocalípticas como, The Last Of Us, ou até, Left 4 Dead e Resident Evil. Lembra muito o filme Eu sou a Lenda. Recomendo este jogo para os amantes de jogos com este tipo de temática pós-apocalíptica.

    cowardly wronged. Days gone is very good, but the lack of news and political thoughts hurt him with the criticisms

    I’m only a few hours into the game and I’m having a good time with it. The only aspect that i’ve ran into that’s been midly frustrating are the bike controls.. It feels clunky.

    Besides that, scavenging for parts, equipment, and ammo feels rewarding. Deacon as a character seems like a conflicted person. Overall I don’t know what the negative reaction is to the game...

    It is clear that most of the user reviews are by guys who dont agree with the score and just boost the user review section with 10s, blaming the Xbox and PC community for the low scores, without even finishing the game. Well im a PS4 gamer and i was expecting this game for 2 years so this is my honest opinion on this game.
    Days Gone was supposed to be that big, wow type of AAA game, but    It is clear that most of the user reviews are by guys who dont agree with the score and just boost the user review section with 10s, blaming the Xbox and PC community for the low scores, without even finishing the game. Well im a PS4 gamer and i was expecting this game for 2 years so this is my honest opinion on this game.
    Days Gone was supposed to be that big, wow type of AAA game, but It happens to be the opposite. With all the buzz two years ago on E3, I was expecting this game with an enormous amount of joy. Alas - all in no avail.
    The story aside - this game has a lot of flaws.
    First and foremost - the game is baaaaaadly optimised... Frame rates drop at almost motion stop animation while you ride your bike.. Pretty much most of the time there is enormous amount of lag while driving(and sometimes on foot). There are a lot of bugs too !!!! - I ve been stuck in a wall not able to move, teleporting thru walls and fences and a lot of deaths followed cuz of these circus acts ive been a part of. Zombies flying around and teleporting from miles away is just the weather forecast obviously.
    Quests glitching and being stuck somewhere without spawning the npc for a quest is just a norm. I got 1 hour of videos made just with ridiculous glitches and failed renders, which are mostly of cars.
    Unbelievable stuff on this point ...Considering bike riding one of the better things in this game, its just nerve wrecking to ride your bike in 15 frames per sec... Two year teasing the game and they get it out so poorly optimised? Cmon now...
    Second - no seamless transition between cutscenes is like getting back at least 5 years in gaming. You do something and suddenly - black screen for a second or two for pretty much nothing.. It doesnt feel smooth and its not nicely done either.
    Third - fighting is pretty boring and repetitive after a while.
    Its not that much of a problem but small things stack one over another.
    Fourth - the AI is probably the dumbest in gaming since i dont remember.. I literally 'stealth' killed three idiots in a row one next to each other while the others were looking at me and they passed around me simply cuz i was 'sneaking' in a shallow bush.. While i was stabbing one of the dudes the other was pushing at me while saying stuff like : 'yo where he is , i lost him' , 'hey why dont you come out an talk i dont wanna hurt you' WHILE I WAS STABBING HIS GUY IN FRONT OF HIM MULTIPLE TIMES LOL. Everything is made pretty much like they just found out open world and this game will be the stepping stone of open world, while it is exactly the oposite - its years behind open world games..
    Fifth - what in the world is this thing with the flashlight for God's sake... His flashlight is in his pocket while the light is going around him with the crosshair... Bro wtf... Uncharted 1 was like 2007 and the flashlight there was pretty realistic - hangin at the chest while the light goes where the character is turned at the moment. But nah - lets make the flashlight like some theater light thats goes wherever you want while your character sits blank staring in the netherrealm.. I thougth it was some glitch or something for the first two minutes, and when i finally coped with this idiocy i was annoyed at least...
    Sixth - repetitiveness is just killing this game. Wont dwelve at it much but it really is awful enough.
    Final verdict - the game is a huge dissapointment and even the nice graphics and fine moCap cant compensate for the dullness of this game. It feels like the guys who made it are a little bit bihind in terms of game inovations and gameplay. Theres nothing new in it for an open world game. Even the fact that they named the zombies in the game with the cringy 'freakers' and thinking thats something new and cool talks alot about the guys that made this game and what to expect from their game... Cool bikes tho.    … Expand

    He estado jugando a lo largo de hoy unas 3-4 h y me ha sorprendido gratamente. Si los juegos de zombies os gustan os gustara este juego ... No es un juego de sobresaliente en mi opinion pero cumple con mis expectativas .

    I think it is a solid 7 at the absolute least but I'm edging to 8.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Gameplay, tension, upgrades, survival, world building, narrative, characters, graphics, animations are all top notch! This is one of the best games I've ever played this generation.

    I don't know why the critics reviews are so low. This game is something special. Don't miss out on it because of critic reviews.

    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.
