    Since I started playing the game, I couldn't put it it down. I just had to finish the game which I just did upon writing the review for this amazing game. A survival zombie game that reminds me of "Last of us" in a bike. You have to be very mindful with your resources such as your melee weapon, ammo, bike repair, fuel, etc... I don't agree with the negative review for this game. ThisSince I started playing the game, I couldn't put it it down.

This game is not meant to be a "shooter"!!! I never had an issue with the shooting mechanics of the game. I'm able to kill sniper with assault rifle without using focus skill in the game. I have played the entire game purely stealth killing but there are scenes that you will have to use your guns such as killing hordes, which can be scary at times as you need to have a strategy and have played the game with the most recent patch so any of the easy kill glitch does not work when I've played the game, and other scenes in the game. Graphics, animation, audio/soundtrack is well made for this game. I had a lot of fun playing this game and I'm looking forward for another Bend studio game!… Expand

    If you can fall in love with a game this is the game. I loved every second of the story and every second of the game. I can not wait for part 2. The story is amazing and resonates with the times we live and the characters are amazing. I liked all the good and the bads. Amazing game

    I'm super happy that it finally comes to PC. Sony fanboys never gave this game respect that it deserved. Imo it didn't feel like typical ps4 game anyway, it always felt like it was meant to be PC game. It's not your typical walking simulator where half the game is cutscenes, no sir. Days Gone feels like actual game, where you actually can play it lol.

    Days gone is one of the most disappointing experiences with a video game. The only reason I give 2 stars is for the two good scenes throughout the game: taking boozer to lost lake and the resolution to the Ripper arc. Other than that the game is filled with tedious, unmemorable, repeating missions that make the story feel distant from what is actually being played.

It feels like the developers decided that longer games are better so they send you on back to back to back to back fetch quests where you fight freakers, get a different flavor of boss (big guys, bear, crows), wash rinse and repeat. If this game had half the missions but they decided to only include the ones that progress the story, it'd be a good game. I don't personally care about graphics so I can't in good conscience let that increase the score. I don't care about bugs either though; most of them were pretty enjoyable. I'm not going to recommend this game to anyone, but I'm going to brag about how I finished this 30+ hour slog of a main story.… Expand

    It is an amazing open world game just like RDR2 & GTAV, just without the polish. My only big issue is the some bugs/glitches and the occansional tone/volume of the voice acting. I enjoyed this more than Dying Light or the Dead Islands. The new king of open world zombie games :)

    I thought this was one of the worst AAA titles I've ever played. The game play is boring, the story is laughably bad, the characters are incredibly weak. I have no idea why it has an extremely vocal fan base, other than that maybe the game seems "cool". "Badass" characters riding around on motorcycles killing zombies. A 16 year old boys idea of cool, I guess.

    From start I thought it will be another open world action game. Somehow It changed into sneaking - crawling - experimenting type of game with very interesting mechanics and very good story.

    For example you can wipe out enemy camp several ways, also freaks can "help" you. Dont be afraid to try to find new ways. Towards the end its better and better.

    Days Gone a.k.a. Days of Riding, is an open world zombie game. It gives you a loading screen for pretty much everything, and they take minutes each time. F*cking ridiculous. Also it lets you drive around constantly, which is very annoying.

Days of Riding, is an open world zombie game. It gives you a loading screen for pretty much everything, and they take minutes each time. F*cking ridiculous. Also it lets you drive around constantly, which is very annoying.

    Story:
    You play as Deacon, the most politically correct Biker to live in the US. After landing a hot blonde girlfriend, the Freaker Apocalypse breaks loose and he loses her... Or does he?

    Days Gone's story is like watching a robot that has holes in it. You are interested in the plot of the hot blonde and the Freakers, but it also very blatantly shows you what the game is behind the curtain. It's a crappy bike simulator, with 80% of your playtime consisting of driving from A to B. At some point even the plot around the Freakers couldn't interest me anymore, as it drags on into pointless filler. The story would have been better if this was a lineair level based game without the filler open world.

    Gameplay:
    The game definitely tries to make the gameplay closer to realism with smooth animations, aiming and THE MOST BROKEN BIKE EVER. It does 1 meter to the gallon, and it breaks easier than a brittle bone. What's the point of realism in a video game if it doesn't make the game more fun or entertaining? The bike is a choir to maintain, and aiming is good enough but feels clumsy. As you increase your reputation, you unlock more guns in camps. The guns that you unlock later on feel a lot better than the starter ones, but it is a choir to do all the missions required before you are at the necessary level.

    What is extremely annoying is when you are forced to walk slowly, can't grab your weapons and the game restricts your actions. I hated this in Red Dead redemption 2, and i especially hate it here when there are Newts begging to be shot!

    Graphics:
    The visuals of Days Gone are stunning. The cinematics, facial animations and character models look astonishingly good. When it comes to graphics, realism is good. And Days Gone has impressive graphics that look very real. However, outside the cinematics the games graphics become mediocre at times. Especially character models.

    Game loop:
    The first 10 hours of Days Gone are quite entertaining! While everything is new it will keep you interested. However, as missions are all based around the same structure (even the main plot missions) it becomes repetitive and tedious. There are also restrictions on what you can do, which just leads to more frustration. The bike is a poor design decision that seems to be more of a contrived feature than something to entertain the player.

    I felt for a while that Days Gone was an misunderstood gem, but as the game dragged on and forced me to do the same things over and over without giving some epic moments (with the Freakers) it disappointed me more and more. It's not a bad game at all, but it will not be memorable either. It's an average game, i give it a 6/10.    … Expand

My review:

    Story: Very entertaining with some great twists. I liked most of the characters especially Deacon St John as he was kind of an anti hero but who had no choice to become a reluctant leader. The only negative I can say is the game was way too long which hurt the story as it began to drag. A lot of extra fluff missions that could have been cut out. *8.0*

    Graphics: Great quality. This game really is beautiful with probably the best wind and weather effects I've ever seen in a game. Environments were amazing to explore and told a story by the destruction and dead bodies scattered around. *9.0*

    Performance: Probably where this game suffers the most. I got a lot of frame rate dips, pop in, slow loading textures, and glitches. The glitches werent game breaking but broke immersion *7.0*

    Sound: Guns sound realistic, voice acting is great, the music that plays when you come across a horde is perfectly exhilarating and gives an uneasy feeling. Weather sounds are immersive. Some negatives: there was some dialogue on top of each other with deacon talking to himself while listening to a recording. Also the way the characters speak they seemed to mumble, say "uh" and "um" a lot which made dialogue very realistic but was hard to understand and follow at times. *8.5*

    Gameplay: Riding the bike felt very responsive. A bit of a learning curve in the beginning but when you do it is very fun to control and drift. The gas and repair system was a great addition as it really gave you the feeling of having to survive and use resources around the world. You can upgrade your gas can and durability of your bike and it makes a huge difference so there is incentive to upgrading. The biggest negative was the shooting. It felt very wonky and difficult to aim. Unlocking skills and slowing down time with your focus meter helped but it bad controls were there throughout the game. Melee however was satisfying and fun to craft weapons. Exploring the world to scavenge was addictive and rewarding. Random encounters and attacks from enemies were memorable and unpredictable as you can be taking down an enemy camp and then a horde of zombies will come and try to take u all out. Or a bear or wolves. The hordes are easily the best part of the game. They are so fun to take on and fun to redo to try different strategies and traps around the area. Humam enemy AI needs a lot of work as they can be downright dumb at times. As I said before there were a lot of fluff missions that should have been cut. There were literally some missions that were completed and you earned xp by just walking or watching a cutscene. *8.5*

    Comencé a jugarlo, con las expectativas muy bajas, debido a sus críticas, pero la verdad es que desde el primer momento hasta el final, no paré de disfrutarlo, como fan de la temática zombi, la jugabilidad y su historia me encantó salvo algunos detalles como la IA de los enemigos y algunas situaciones que caen en lo repetitivo, me sigue pareciendo un gran videojuego.

    Maybe it doesn't have a plot like the last of us and not all decisions made in this game are perfect....but it was worth nearly every second of playing. The story has many twists and is not always easy to predict beforehand. Pair this up with a decent gameplay and a superb looking openworld and also with more than a dozen of remarkable characters and you will have a goot time playing this.

    This game is beautiful, smooth playing and most of all, fun. The story is amazing and the game play is fun and never boring. A unique feature of this game is the ability to choose to continue attempts to defeat the horde or not. Love this! Takes the frustration out for those who want to quit failing but allows those who want to to keep trying. Enjoyed every minute of this and hope for a sequel.

    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.
