    loved everythjng about this game. also the new survivor mode difficulty is great takes all the good things about the game and bumps it up a notch. critics and zero reviewers must have a chip on their shoulder. no idea why it’s making them no upset. story is great. good writing and voice acting. there are foibles here and there but eh, nothing’s perfect. 10/10. anything less than a 7 is silly.

It is a true AAA+ gaming experience in every way, and the most impressive thing about this game, which honestly took me by surprise is the way it delivers its really deep and touching story. I felt truly connected with the world and its characters. Also another very important thing is that - yes, this game is huge, but it's not overfilled with unnecessary activities. You know when in AC games you're up and climbing that 70th viewpoint to get that necessary synchronization, while questioning your life beliefs in the background? This game doesn't have that - it delivers just enough not to make it feel like a chore, everything is dynamic and most importantly - fun. It's fun to play, fun to explore, fun to immerse yourself in, and I always keep coming back.… Expand

I know, I know, I’m being facetious. I understand that the developers have to fit refuelling into the necessarily reduced scale of the open world. On a more serious note, I find that the question marks, denoting an interesting event happening, tend to disappear never to be seen again once you dismount from the bike. It’s got to a stage where I just ignore them now because I am often unable to find the event on foot. These or small points. Otherwise it’s a lot of fun.… Expand

    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.

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.

    ~Shooting is nothing fancy either.
    I would compare the shooting to be kinda lame like LatsOfUs like..
    ~Story is also pretty lame too.. Alot of dumb stuff like MadMax postApoc.

    ~The Meat & Potatoes fun is messing with the zombie hordes and pulling a handful at a time untile ur good enough to PWN em at once..
    ~Meat & Tatoes 2.0= Leveling & upgrading you & ur Bike feels noticably rewarding.
    *I played it twice. The 1st time @ Launch. after about 60 hours i bored quit about 75% of the way.
    ~The recent playthrough i finished it and put in about 80 hours..
    *I play on Hardest & take my time..
    This isn't the type of game to play on normal or easy because the story isn't good enough..
    It's simply a dude & his BFF looking for his wife & trying to survive in meantime...

    ~It's dishonest to rate this game a 6/10... It's honestly a 7.5/10 or 8/10...
    If you own a PS4 then i would say its almost identical to Dying Light in the type of fun you will have.
    Except the Dying Light Developers stuck with their game. Where this games devs moved on once they patched it up.. NO DLC,,no cool add ons or anything..

    Bottom line is it's about a 50 hour game if you cruise through it.
    OR a 80 hour game if you play on hardest and get the most outta it..
    Either way the PS4 community should play this game imo.    … Expand

    Studio Bend patched DG so the game got SMALLER install size and FASTER loading even on PS4 with HDD.
    There are still some bugs left in 2021 on PS5 such as dropped items disappearing. But it has less bugs than a Beth game AND most bugs are FUN! Such as enemy's dropped weapon bouncing around after death and enemies getting stuck inside cars until you throw a rock on them LOL!

    It's good even in 30 fps but awesome in 60fps although it gets a bit too easy in 60fps so you should definitely play it on Hard II on PS5 or PC :)

    It's an extremely entertaining game and the Challenge Mode which got added after official reviews is quite good too! REMEMBER: The perks you get in Challenges move over to Main Game! Something I learnt on my second playthrough.

    Beware of the audio settings on PS5 though. Maybe set the 3D audio to off to not get reduced aduio quality. DG has surround settings for headphones in game menu. Use that instead. But its hard to get goods settings and you might get fooled over hearing enemy sounds sounding close although they are far away. Play with the settings!    … Expand

The weather system is stunning, the audio and the riding, the gunplay is also neat. Its kind off realistic, not casual. I really dig the riding! I think they naild itHard to master but so enjoyable!

    Final verdict is a 9 out of 10. Here’s why this is the most underrated game of the year.

    Just so anyone who’s reading this knows, this is just my opinion, but you should absolutely give this game a chance and is definitely worth it at full price. K moving on.

    I’m starting with the negatives just to get them out of the way.
    1. Frame rate slows from time to time, usually when entering a town or a highly populated with Freakers area. Yes, it’s a negative, but guess what, it never effects actual gameplay.
    1. Positive. Even though the frame rate slows from time to time (shocker, a next gen game getting ready to move to PS5 and this is this studios first AAA game, “oh no, better give it a 1”.) the game performs phenomenally on the original PS4 and the grate rate never slows in combat, which sometimes you have hundreds of zombies chasing you by the way.

    2. Graphics are solid, moving on...

    3. Sound designe. My personal favorite about the game. I’m a lover of great sound design, and I always have, that’s one of the big reasons I love the Battlefield franchise, the audio is amazing. Days Gone is on a similar level for me. From firing assault rifles to suppressed pistols the audio is just so satisfying. From the echo to the round actually being fired it just feels so immersive.

    4. Story. No issues with the story. I actually care about the main characters and whether they live or die or not. It’s not The Last of Us good, but it’s certainly well done. Great job Bend Studio

    5. Gameplay and Mechanics: personally, they feel very similar to The Last of Us with a slow motion effect (which makes sense). You have to use resources you find from the world and utilize those resources wisely. Similarly to the last of us, many of the same resources are used to craft different items. The biggest difference with this game? Sometimes you will have 100s of infected chasing you and you have to make a quick decision. So not unlike red dead redemption 2, sometimes you will have to use the slow time mechanic against hordes of 100s of zombies. Apparently IGN thinks that’s stupid for some reasons (except if it’s a Cowboy from the 1800s?).

    If you like Zombie/post apocalyptic/survival horror games and even just open world games in general, this game is for you. It doesn’t get repetitive, there is tons to do, and the story is compelling.

    Do yourself a favor, buy this game, play the crap out of it, and as always, don’t listen to critic “journalist” reviews, because they’re trash. Especially IGN.    … Expand

Sometimes there's a migrating horde between you and your destination. Sometimes, an infected bear will show you while you're doing your mission. You'll get shot out of your bike by a sniper while travelling and have to clear out some bandits on the side of the road. It's never just going from point A to B and shooting everything. The game happens between the missions. Don't fast travel, or you might miss all the fun.… Expand

    Having a lot of fun with Days Gone. This is a new entry and they did a solid job. Yes, the game has technical flaws, but I can overlook them. I got the game for 30$ (special pre order price) so no problem here. Would not have bought it full price. Great fun anyways!

    Definitely one of the best games of this generation!. Absolutely brilliant! It remind me of The last of Us but in an open world. It also looks stunning (I played it on PS4 Pro).

    Very Good balance between story and challenges and missions. The atmosphere is fantastic and in every corner there is an untold story that you see after the crisis. Enemies are dumb sometimes.

    An amazing exclusive, with tons of story and open world missions, massive zombie hordes and an interesting protagonist.

Really happy I took a chance and picked it up. Its the first single player game to hold my attention in a long while. The combat and character progression is perfect 20 hours in. The melee combat reminds me of Until Dawn (that's a good thing) bashing zombies and other bad guys with ever better creative melee weapons has not gotten old. The gun play early on is sloppy but as you level up and get better guns it gets much smoother and more satisfying. The pacing is spot on, never so many tasks you feel overwhelmed but not too few either. Nice game play variety as well, stealth missions, run and gun, chasing down bounties, hunting, collecting resources, clearing out nests or taking on a horde, clearing camps on and on. Your bike is much like gun play early on it looks good but feels sloppy but as you level up and upgrade it quickly becomes a pleasure to ride through a beautiful open world that feels alive. Rain, snow, sunshine day or night it's all eye candy.

    The story for me is fantastic. Its straight forward easy to follow and I care! I want to progress to see what will happen next.

    20 Hours in I've had no major bugs at all. Just minor frame rate dips but very rarely. This game is a solid ten for me and I'll be sad when its over. Its rare I replay single player games but I'm guessing I will with this one.    … Expand

The Dynamic weather in this game is crazy. It rains and snows and depending on how much it does either affects the environment. The side quests do not even feel like side quests, they feel like they are part of the story with constant convos going on with your buddies over your walkie talkie. There is so much more to the game i cant even sum it up, but if you are even thinking about buying this game, buy it. Do not miss out on this because of a bunch of angry xbox fans downvoting it.… Expand

    This game is very funny, has many similarities to the FAR CRY saga and some things from The Last Of Us, the type of enemies is more inspired by the enemies of the movie I AM LEGEND than in the typical zombie.

    Recommended 100%, ignore the reviews, the press played the game without patches and also in a hurry. Maybe the game does not innovate but if it's fun, that's the important thing.

    Это моя игра года 2019, не знаю, почему она ничего не получила на TGA. Возможно, на старте у игры были проблемы с багами, я играл уже в ноябре 19, столкнулся только с одним багом, пришлось загружать сохранение. По ощущениям это помесь Mad Max и Dying Light, обе из которых я обожаю.

    This game is great. I don't know what everybody's talkin about but I'm definitely having a lot of fun with this game. Apparently Gamespot and IGN don't like white male leads in video games anymore so they gave it a negative review. That's real progressive

    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.
