    Fasinating and frightening game.
    It so obvious that it has some bug problem but it do not affect the gameplay and story line. Nice story and motivative zombies. I like it.

Around 30 hours you begin to get bombarded with story elements and learn more about the freaks. Patience is rewarded with an amazing story, also make sure to continue playing post credits for a surprise. I played on a pro and ran into a few glitches nothing game breaking and this was post patches. Expand

    The best game of the year. the story is great, the scenery is stunning, the hordes really scare, not to mention the motorcycle factor. Nothing could be better than riding a motorcycle at the end of the world. grade 1000

All I can say is "wow!". I had such a blast with this game and enjoyed every single minute, even with the few bugs that I encountered along the way. Not to be a fanboi (ok, I guess I am now that I've played it for 55+ hours and love it!) but this is one of those games that can easily be missed by many, especially given the critic reviews. I know others have said it but I have to agree on this: ignore those reviews and listen to other players, and see for yourself! This is the kind of game we've needed for sooooo long. I'm actually sad that I'm done with the story and cannot wait to see the DLC and then (hopefully) a sequel. Bend Studio, please don't take another 6 years to make Days Gone 2! I can't wait that long to see what happens next (no spoilers!!!). Seriously, if you are not sure about this game, just go for it! There's a LOT worse out there right now that received higher critic scores that did not deserve it in my opinion.

    I'd love to write more but I want to get back to the open world of Days Gone, doing more of the side missions (jobs?) and taking down some more hordes! Two thumbs up from me! 10/10 game which is just superb from start to finish!

Ive played zombie games to be honest majority of them and I can honestly say I’ve never completed one. I’ve found them boring and repetitive and I really am a wimp with horror genre I recently purchased a VR and was jumping at the shark encounter. So for me when I saw the that insane trailer running away from 100s of Freakers I instantly thought “sod that” but I thought I’ll try it out but in the back of my head I thought I would of gotten rid of it within 2 weeks but here I am still playing!! I still haven’t completed it but I’m many many hours in and I love it the freakers are huge some in size but in number which makes it challenging but not impossible. Deacon St John is a character I thought would be very uninteresting but I’m doing every side mission so I can learn more about his past and the combat is fun. Very fun. The ways you can take out a horde and how it encourages you to play stealthy it’s brilliant it’s creative but not to the degree of where your making a gun that shoots exploding ducks but I like that it makes it realistic! My biggest scare is the voice acting and the acting I general I was playing odyssey but I think if anyone has played that game they know how fun that is but dread a cut scene because of alexios’s horrible voice but this game is like a movie! I cannot rate this game enough! It’s fun and I guarantee you the story will have you at the edge of your seat and your jaw will be at your feet! This isn’t just a zombie or horror game this is a book! Been a long time since I played a game this detailed and story driven but it’s that good it’s drove me to go out of my way to make an account and write my very first review! Buy it. Enjoy it. Expand

    This game needed that time to flourish, and my did it.
    They have created a living, breathing open world that never suffers from Ubisoft Syndrome. Everything fits, NPC's feel like they actually have their feet planted in the world, and the characters are flawed and human. Thank you so much for the experience, I hope so badly that this game gets a much deserved co-op sequel.

I'm a tough critic myself, and I can't find anything wrong with this game, of course there were some bugs here and there, which have now been fixed with the 1.09 Update. Everyone knows that there will be bugs after any launch of any massive Sandbox game. It really does baffle me that other critics were experiencing the same game as I have. I have not seen one negative review that is even close to accurate. Trust me when I say that you should take those bad reviews with a grain of salt. This game is very impressive, and you definitely should not read IGN or Gamespot's reviews.

My heart is heavy because it's over and I can't carry on following the adventures of Deacon St John - the only other time I've had that was at the end of The Last Of Us, and while I didn't cry this time around I'm still wandering around my apartment aimlessly, desperately trying to find something to occupy my mind.

    I was hooked for the whole 80 hours I plugged in to the game and I can't recommend it enough. It takes a while to get going but after a little bit you won't be able to put it down. It's impeccably designed and written. A truly impeccable feat of game design.

    That's not to say it doesn't have its flaws. A lot of the quests are variants on "go here kill/fetch this" but I always felt obliged to complete every single one. The characters were so engaging and the impact I was having on the world so great that every time the radio beeped I would jimmy on over to wherever I was needed. The flavour added by Cope's radio broadcasts and the little conversations you have over the radio added so much to the world. I genuinely enjoyed just riding around on my bike waiting for Boozer's next call or for Ricki to get in touch.

    My only criticism is that the difficulty curve slips and slides around. Play it on hard, you'll thank me for that. While it's difficult at the start it will ensure that the game is always challenging enough that if you're stupid you'll die but still enjoyable enough that you won't give up playing it.

    Thank you Deek for a great adventure and thank you Sony Bend for making this game. Hopefully I'll see you again soon on the open road!

    It is a very good game, it has an impressive soundtrack, very good graphics and history and playability;
    It would be amazing if they made content expansions and those things every so often.

Everyone is saying it’s bad and that it’s buggy, yeah it has its bugs and glitches but so did red dead redemption 2 but no one said that game was bad. This game is a zombie open world game and you play as the main character deacon Saint John and you traverse this big open world with zombies, zombie animals , people called maurders, and rippers and you will learn more as you traverse you have a wife who you learn more about in his flash backs and build a relationship with the characters and the story is really good. I will highly recommend. Expand

    The game is great and very fun to play. Initially the game was boring and generic, but after 10 hours I was hooked and loving it. Defeat the hordes is the best part, they are massive and a real challenge. The biggest problem is that you will just have power to defeat the hordes very late in the Game.

    This game is a Blast.
    Its like waiting to have sex with her but she wants to do a 3 hour foreplay! Not all of us are into that but it's a new experience, and when you finally get to do the real thing you go like " wow this is the best sex I have ever had" But the critics completed the foreplay but gave up on the sex, losers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seems like most critics these days have a skewed view of what makes a game any good. In my opinion this game was immersive, good action moments throughout and had one of the better stories in recent memory. I would say this game falls in my top five of all time. The story held my attention and the characters were captivating, emotionally driven and comical at times. All in all this game is more than meets the eyes and if you give it a chance it will definitely be worth it. And in my opinion it definitely beats out most games released in the last two or three years. Great cast and great performances all around. Expand

    I like everything, atmosphere, graphic, characters, story, amount of tasks and activities, what's going on in game world, everything is very believable, post apocalyptic world should be like this. And of course hordes, they give emotions and many, it is inexpressible thing, you need to experience it to understand how fun and scary it is, when 100-500 "zombies" are run after you.

    I also like localization, I'm Russian and played Russian version - it is great.

    I completed the game today, on 14. June. 2019. And the game still has annoying bugs, not much, and most things they have fixed, but nonetheless it still has annoying bugs. And one strange thing(I can't talk about it to avoid spoilers). But they can't spoil enjoyment of a great game.

    Looking at other opinions I understand that this is not a game for everyone. But my opinion is very positive :)

    Message for the World Press - We can decide what to buy beside your Lies.I can only confirm that - The numbers of happy Days Gone players across the world are telling us how good this game is!!!

    Отличная игра, неожиданно для меня переродилась из "корявеньких" трейлеров в игру которуя я прошёл всего лишь процентов на 35 и уже хочу переиграть чтобы увидеть этот увядающий мир, управлять байком, насладиться неторопливым сюжетом. Вся мировая пресса поливает игру грязью просто так - не нравиться игра без афро-американцов, главный герой не сильная и независимая женщина и т.д...Такого бреда начитаешься, что волосы на коже встают. В отсутствии The Last of Us 2 - эта игра мне её даже немного заменяет. Возможно с выходом TLOU2 моё мнение немного может измениться, но как самостоятельное произведение Days Gone для меня встал на голову выше Horizon и Detroit.

    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.
