I like the cutscenes and the story they are telling and the quality is very good. There is alot of dept in Days Gone for gameplay, skills, gear and such. I normally like to rush in games but in this game i like to play very stealthy most of the times and slow. I think it's great and for me it's a 9. In the end it's something i daily want to do and play and i enjoy every minute of it. Mostly when i think i've played enough i can't stop right away because it's alot of fun. Great Game Expand

    Absolutely loving this game the graphics, weather system and voice acting are pretty good. One thing i really don't like is the transition to cut scenes game feels like a Last of Us meets Far Cry

    This game is super buggy. There is cars that that is not fully generated, freakers that just disappears faster than Houdini, and the sound just goes out.

I found that I have to turn off the game and restart the very long times to get my sound back. If your PS4 is not connected run from this game ASAP. Do not buy. For everyone else... Get ready for some awesome patches. Yes the game should have been delayed again, but we all know the LAST OF 2 is coming out this fall and Days Gone will not have a chance in hell of making any sales once that happens. So Bend Studio knew they couldn't delay the game again. They knew gamers were going to be very upset about these CRAZY bugs. So they announced early on they were giving out free DLC and challenges in the Summer and have all bug fixes. So we ALL WIN!!!

    The story is okay. It's not bad. The character animations are amazing. You can see the real life actors performance come right through the characters. The only problem is that we heard this story already through other games and movies too many times, but the same can be said for the Marvel movies. Even with this point it doesn't change how awesome those movie LOOK. This is an ACTION ADVENTURE GAME that is suspenseful at times. I tried to get off this game after an hour of playing but I felt like I was under the games spell and could not but the game down. I played for over 10 hours before I could put the stick (Dual Shock 4) down.

    Yes even with the bugs I really couldn't stop playing. I am a very seasoned gamer. I play ALL GAMES. I love how their are elements of so many other games in this one game. There is the Last of Us, Uncharted, GTA5, Tomb Raider, Need For Speed, Starve, Flower, Mortal Kombat, and more. This game takes a lot of other games and puts them in a one stop destination. Sneaking around and melee attacking freakers are so satisfying. I love how I can take any weapon in the game and use them against NPCs. Managing the bike is adds an additional layer to the game where it feels like its own character in the game. It too can be upgraded and yes there is NAS.

    Days Gone has a buffet of glitches, but not even that could stop me from having a great time. They are giving us free DLC and challenges. This is a MUST HAVE.

    And one more thing. This game does take advantage of the Sony's Platinum Headset with 3D sound. Hearing the hordes below you is so creepy. It really puts the game on a whole new level.

    Days Gone teve um grande downgrade em comparação aos trailers e veio como um jogo incompleto, digo isso pois o jogo tem quedas constantes de fps (algumas vezes chegando a travar a imagem).

O jogo tem muitos bugs, a IA não é muito inteligente (e quando digo isso eu quero dizer que eles chegam a ser o oposto de inteligentes), a dublagem em vários momentos é atrasada e você junta isso com as várias horas de "gameplay" onde você tem que ficar fazendo várias entregas com sua moto de um lado do mapa até o outro e vendo várias CGs (que eu gosto e não vejo problema nisso), você tem alguns momentos de ação mas o jogo fica mais legal lá pro final.
    Days Gone recicla vários elementos de outros jogos da Sony e não inova muito. As hordas de zumbi demoram aparecer no jogo mas apresentam um bom desafio, infelizmente o jogo tem as constantes quedas de fps e isso pra mim estragou muito a gameplay.

    A minha nota baixa em relação ao Days Gone se dá pois o jogo tinha um hype enorme mas não respondeu as expectativas.

    This is no masterpiece, not every game is. But it is a solid fun and enjoyable game, don't listen to people calling this game bad just cause it isn't a straight 10.

    I personally think that there is plenty of enjoyment to be had here, the story is interesting and the gameplay is unique and enjoyable.

    Well done game, very fun. A good open world and good story. Dunno if the reviewers from IGN and another websites have been playing the same game that we are (users) but i bet they haven’t. If you’re in doubt, give it a try and judge for yourself.

    Days Gone is a mix of all the good things from other open world games. You can tell that the devs have poured their heart and soul into the game from all aspects which includes the core gameplay, graphics and audio. No other game has so much attention to detail when it comes to the sound effects.

    First time review ever on meta critic, had to say something due to the harsh reviews Days Gone is getting. For me Days Gone is an open world version of the Last of Us and that game is probably the best game I've ever played. Days Gone isn't quite at that level but it's a great game and I'm loving it so far. No way does it deserve 0 out of 10. That's all I needed to say.

It also tries to copy Last of Us sometimes, and Uncharted during scenes. I don't know why Sony exclusives focus too much on

    I don't know why Sony exclusives focus too much on cinematics and voice acting when core elements such as gameplay and replay value are being heavily ignored. It happens a lot with Sony exclusives. And funny thing the cinematics and voice acting were laughable in this game, also lip sycing is horrible.

    Only downside, although not really cons, are that the bike mechanics and gun play takes some getting used to at the start but then it becomes quite enjoyable the more you play.

    As far as technical issues, I’m playing on the base PS4 and I haven’t experienced any of the fps drops as some have mentioned. The only bug I came across was the game not saving correctly which resulted in having to repeat a mission over but it hasn’t happened again since that one time.

    All in all, I’m still absolutely shocked at some of the reviews this game has received.

But the game faults in game play such as riding the bike and gun combat. The glitches many discuss are non existent for me even after many hours into the game. However, the frame rate does drop and the cut scenes need to load prior to watching them (this can get frustrating at times). Overall, if you're a zombie fan and love open world games this is a pick up for sure. If you're looking for something new that changes gaming this isn't it. Something about this game is appealing and i'm yet to put my finger on this. I believe this game will exist as a cult classic that many rave about while other dislike or don't understand the love for the game. Expand

    After getting the game I played it for approximately 6 hours and I must say that many reviewers gave this game low ratings unfairly and I don’t know the reason why? I enjoyed every second of this game till now and believe me I didn’t encounter any problems or glitches whatsoever, no frame drops or audio sync issues without even updating it (Yes I played it with V1.00). The only problem inAfter getting the game I played it for approximately 6 hours and I must say that many reviewers gave this game low ratings unfairly and I don’t know the reason why? I enjoyed every second of this game till now and believe me I didn’t encounter any problems or glitches whatsoever, no frame drops or audio sync issues without even updating it (Yes I played it with V1.00). The only problem in this game is the awkward transition between cinematics and game play which might be a turn off point for some people, but it didn’t bother me at all, and maybe this issue is fixed with latest update which is 23.762GB in size. The game has amazing graphics and it is a Huge Game as I have included the full Map with this review. This game gathered elements from different other AAA games e.g. Graphics is on par with RDR2 + Days Gone has dead eye like feature to slow the time while shooting, Days Gone is clearly inspired by Horizon Zero Dawn as majority of the time I felt like I was playing HZD to be honest (When you play Days Gone you will know why I felt that way) during my game play, and of course Bend Studio also took some inspiration from Last Of Us (Days Gone Vibe and environment is similar to it). I can’t comment on story since I haven’t finished this game yet but I am definitely going for Platinum. Trust me “Bend Studio” were not kidding when they said “This World Comes For You’ + “Your bike is your major companion to survive in the harsh world of Days Gone” because Freaker hordes can seriously be overwhelming and in this scenario with limited resources the only way is to run on the bike from it, also you will have to refuel and maintain your bike quite frequently in the early stage until you get good upgrades for it.
    Please don’t get offended but I hated Assassin’s Creed Origins because of the grinding if I could some up full Assassin’s Creed origins game in one sentence it would be something like this in a nutshell “ Hello Bayek some bandits/guards stole my thing/killed someone, go to the outpost and get it back/kill the guy”. The reason why I included Assassin’s Creed Origins because many reviewers said that days gone is repetitive that is one of the reason for low score whereas AC Origins was full of grind but still has high score than Days Gone so as AC Odyssey. Also consider the fact that “Bend Studio’ is not AAA studio with budget like Rockstar games but still they did great job with Days Gone. This review is solely based on my opinion and this coming from the guy who absolutely loved playing Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of Us. If you liked playing these games that I mentioned go ahead and buy Days Gone I am sure you will enjoy it. Remember reviews that matters the most are “YOUR OWN”. I primarily will be playing this game until I get Platinum.

    Days Gone is a great game with good characters and a protagonist you actually care about. The story is a little lacking in the beginning, but picks up in the middle and draws you in.

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

After three years of wait Sony Bend Studio finally delivered their first AAA project in years and the long development resulted with a quality product that I have enjoyed greatly. The open world is extreamly beautiful and despite at first feeling generic, it opens up and evolves while progressing the story, which on its own is worth experiencing Days Gone. I can't really compare Days gone with any other sony title like TLOU, it surely is narrative focused, but if you expect to receive something similar to TLOU - you are in for surprise. The game is focused on survival and its not just a statement that many games make - you REALLY will need to survive in the open world as anything that moves want of piece of your main character - Deacon St. John, who you will surely love by the time credits will roll. Sony gave Bend Studios as much freedom as they wanted - and it shows, and thats why its so different from all other famous Sony excluse titles. Surely this game has its flaws, framerate is not always stable and so far audio glitches have occurred from time to time, but these problems will most likely to be fixed, so no drama here. In the end I must say that i respect all the hard work developers have done during 5 years of development of this project and I believe everyone that own a PS4 should give this game a try. Edit: I gave this game a user score of nine, but somehow it turned 5 overnight... Expand

We all have to accept that this console is near end of life as the complexity and depth of games gets harder to deliver. There is only so much developers can do.

    So far this game looks great, and in terms of mechanics and Ai, whilst iffy at times, it DOES set a new standard and we should get behind this game. Fallout 3 and 4 were as buggy as hell at release. The ambition may be flawed and miss the mark at times but it does reach further than anything Ive seen in a long while. The map is huge. I mean really huge, and perhaps thats the issue. Too many side quests, too big a challenge, not enough reward. Take note Bend for the DLC.

    Quake, Doom etc were great until Duke Nukem came along. They all broke new ground. Give this game a go. Its a great game and is challenging AND in the same mould. Bravo bend studios.

The motorcycle physics are awful. The missions are so boring and repetitive. The story is a joke.. This game is so unpolished with bad and unstable framerate. Too many bugs and glitches. The loading times are too long. The AI is an embarrasment.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you finish the story, there is not a reason to touch this game again. $60 for a game with no replay value. Zombie games need multiplayer, even Last of Us has MP. Multiplayer would have been the only thing close to fun in this game, but greedy Sony didn't allow it. I don't recommend this piece of garbage at all. There are so many zombie games better than this poor excuse of a game.

    -graphic good
    -nice landscape
    -solid mechanics

    contra
    -a bt buggy
    -no new additions
    -difficulty unbalanced ( medium is too easy )

    overall just average but still solid. if you like zombie game you can buy but i would wait for price drop.

    Best game I ever played in my life!!!

    By the way the guys giving it bad scores are literally XBOX FANBOYS

    He gave days gone a 0 but Crackdown a 10.. gotta love this Frauds XD

    This game right here better than Xbox and their cartoon shiit games.

    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.
