    'Professional' reviewers are off on this game. (Speaking about scores less than 7) Game is very addicting and fun. Lots to do, and the main protagonist is actually very likeable. The best thing about metacritic is the user reviews, for video games and movies. Can't trust the 'journalists' anymore.

    Tienes que jugarlo y terminarlo para realmente calificarlo, gracias Ben Studio por el juego cumple con lo que se esperaba desde hace ya mucho tiempo, entretenido, con buenos gráficos, jugabilidad, diseño artístico, historia, un buen juego. Espero un Days Gone 2 para PS5.

    The games "critics" are in a big shame. Some of them had given 9 for a certainly game that I will not name it besides the three, and now give a 5-6 for such awesome and beautiful game as Days Gone. FacePalm for the entired "games especializated critics reviewers". Before the gamers comunity made it for themselves. These reminds me a lot what happened in Horizon Zero Dawn release.

    Decent game with solid gameplay. It is not a masterpiece, but still good post-apo zombie adventure with interesting heroes and nice world. Don't look at metascore. Just try this one and simply have fun ;).

    I’m only a few hours into the game and I’m having a good time with it. The only aspect that i’ve ran into that’s been midly frustrating are the bike controls.. It feels clunky.

    Besides that, scavenging for parts, equipment, and ammo feels rewarding. Deacon as a character seems like a conflicted person. Overall I don’t know what the negative reaction is to the game...

    Great "TWD genre openworld game, Its not something new like HZD or GOW because it still remains a zombie shooter. But a good one for sure. Don't let the reviews scare u off

    A graphically pleasing open world game with a good narrative and good survival mechanics added.

    Technical issues are minimal - a few frame rate stutters during cutscenes is all I have experienced. Like all open world games, missions are re-used, but they do have enough variety within the level design to keep them interesting.

    Not a fan of the bike fuelling system, and the gun play is a little off - other than that a great game. The bike drives like a tank at first (so unresponsive) but improves as you upgrade it.    … Expand

    This game is much better then reviews suggest. If you like games like far cry or latest assassin's Creed, you will love this one. AND THATS THE KEY. Game can be repetetive, but that's how these games work.

    It's fun, motorcycle is amazing, map is huge, detailed and full of hidden loot. Deacon is awessome character. Also 99% buildings can be entered. I found one that couldn't, literally.

    Story is good, and game is long 50 hours circa, depends.

Technically the game could be Better, but it's not bad or even so buggy as some people seem to say, for me only few glitches have occured while riding the bike and few zombies getting stuck in environment. I love open world games especially with zombies so it gives me a good play through and will recommend it to anyone into similar games and wanting to have something to do before waiting TLOU2 to come out, strong 8/10… Expand

    After Dying Light and dead Island I needed a break from the undead but I'm having a blast with this game, a few graphical glitches but nothing we all have not dealt with before. So glad this came out 3 days after Mortal Kombat SJW its washing the taste of that dumpster fire out of my mouth nicely. Definitely worth a buy.

    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.

The gameplay is average I’d say, gunplay is a little awkward to get used to, but there are skills to help with that, riding the bike at the beginning is not as fun as you’d think it would be, but there are upgrades you can purchase that help with that as well. 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

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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.
