    Best game since Bloodborne!
    I don’t even know where to begin really, though it’s tempting to start with combat. It’s fantastic.

    Gioco con difetti evidenti, ma nello stesso tempo riesce ad offrire un'ottima scrittura della storia con regia mediocre e un gameplay dinamico e accattivante.

    Не буду много распинаться и приводить плюсы с минусами(это сделают другие), просто скажу, что это одна из самых интереснейших игр в жанре пост-апокалипсис. Разработчики, спасибо, для не самой богатой студии вышло хорошо!

Especially open world type games. Then you have critics stating this game is copying other games with its gameplay. While this might be true, what people are failing to see is most other games are doing the same. But yet these critics never point that out in games they review like horizon, far cry, Red Dead 2, etc. etc. The only legitimate criticism Ive seen from any user or critic is that the story isnt very strong. The writing is where this game fails. But not so much to the point of deserving all these bad reviews. I think the main problem here is that everyone had such high expectations of this possibly being a canidate for goty. I usually agree with what the majority of critics write. In this case they are being ridiculous This is a great game and definitely worth picking up. Do not listen to the morons. Expand

    I don't get the hate. Days Gone is fun and enjoyable. Graphics is superb and the gameplay is okay. Storytelling is great. There might be a couple of technical issues but those are common for newly released games. This game will just get better and better as the updates roll in and the DLC comes this June. Good job Sony and Bend Studio. :)

Your bike brakes and needs gas. Spare parts are everywhere though. So your bike is never broken for long. Also random enemy encounters are a blast. Laying trip wires across the road sometimes to clothesline me. Some nice environmental puzzles and good gunplay make for a rewarding experience so far. I like upgrading my bike and guns as well. If it ain't broke don't fix it. And Sony Bend did just that. Give the people what they want. People also shat all over dying light and that was another terrific open world zombie game.

    Zombie swarms is definitely a new, and the processing power to handle such a thing is quite an incredible feat.

    I see a lot of 0/10 reviews that seem unjustified. I’m a few hours into the game and it seems like it’ll be a good story and refreshing setting for the open-world action adventure genre. I would realistically say 8/10 for now, but I’m going with a full 10 to make up the difference.

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.

    Tension is always high when you're outside even though everything seems peaceful you do not know if you're going to get attacked.

    I was skeptical about trying this game out at first due to critics. However, boy am I glad I decided to give this game a try. I’ve been having non-stop fun since I loaded the game up and I’m currently 7 hours into the game. The story is great including the characters, combat is fantastic, graphics are amazing, and I love the freakers concept.

    Only downside, although not really cons,

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't understand why there is soooooo much hate for this game right now, its absolutely everything i expected it to be and more. TLOU meets Uncharted with full inspiration from Sons of Anarchy, explore the broken roads secure Nero checkpoints and take out hordes of FREEKERS (not zombies) lol. I strongly recommend this game to anybody who owns a Ps4 right now. Its one hell of a RIDE... Expand

    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.

    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.

    I'm giving this a 10 because the negative reviews for this seem like they're coming from people who didn't really play the game for more than a couple hours. The game does feel like a blend of HZD and TLoU, if you like those games you'll probably like this. I haven't encountered a single bug just occasional frame drops.

The game does feel like a blend of HZD and TLoU, if you like those games you'll probably like this. I haven't encountered a single bug just occasional frame drops. However frame drops are too be expected as this is one of the better looking games I've ever seen and it's pushing the aging PS4 hardware pretty heavily.

    The game goes for a naturalistic style in it's storytelling, it feels unique in that regard but a good basis of comparison is TLoU. Characters and story are not as compelling as TLoU but that's a high bar and I think it's above average. For me, the story and characters are better than HZD.

    Gameplay loop is repetitive but satisfying, you're mostly gathering resources to survive but as resources are scarce everything you find is useful. Things feel a little janky when you start the game but that's because they're meant to improve as you upgrade your skills so you actually feel a sense of progression. The gunplay isn't the best out there but it's by no means terrible like some people are claiming.

    I should mention that the menu's and interface are really well designed and well thought out. The controls are generally really smooth too, it just feels good to play, things have weight without feeling sluggish and transitions between gameplay elements feel seamless.

    Again, a lot of complaints seem to come from people who barely played the game. For example, yes you have to refuel and repair your bike often in the beginning but that's because in the early game your bike is supposed to be a piece of junk and you have to upgrade it over the course of the game, so it actually feels good as you progress through the game and this makes what otherwise might feel like tedious open world fluff actually feel rewarding.

    This will be a love it or hate it type of game but I think most people who enjoy the gameplay style of TLoU will really enjoy it. Be skeptical of the "professional" critics on this one. I saw one critic complain the game was too easy and only seconds later mention he was playing on normal mode. For the record, there's a hard mode, it let's you select it when you start a new game.

It’s tactical scary and harsh game where every single shot counts. You really feel the need to think before acting this is the key foundation in days gone. You never know when your last bullet will save you or give you a hard time. And sometimes you take risks by driving your bike when there isn’t enough fuel to reach your destination. All this makes the game and core mechanic as epic as it gets.

    Graphics in this game are phenomenal. The lush woods gives you a feeling of Lonliness and desperation of a safe town. Or the nights with the moon shining beautiful and bright. Every experience and dynamic weather in this game is absolutely perfect. How the harsh winds interacts with the threes and the grass. It’s absolutley stunning to look at. I don’t understand the bad reviews this game is getting. Im very far into this game and More I play it more I feel that this is a masterpiece just like red dead and the last of us. The story the animations the realistic graphics are just incredible that I sometimes just stand still for a moment to appreciate the graphics.

    This is by far the game I wud vote for as being the game of the year so far. Because of how incredible it is. I’m just sad how the reviews are being so bad and so negative. They may had a buggy experience which I never had Or experienced as far as I played.

    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.
