    Good game, these media reviews are nonsense. The game is good, the story is good. I'm playing in a PS4 slim and the frame drop occurs 1 or 2 seconds when a horde appears, the patches are fixing it and I'm at the middle of the game and I haven't seen yet a bug.

    Days Gone is an excellent survival horror game which is set in a gorgeous post-apocalyptic Oregon. I'd rate the game a weak 8/10, however, I am temporarily rating it 10/10 because its Metascore is terribly low and I think the game deserves better. If the Metascore for Days Gone ever reaches 80/100 I'll set my user rating to 8/10.

    This game takes the zombie genre and adds some interesting elements to it. Overall the game has a good story and nice overall gameplay with the bike being one of the best things about the game. However repitative side missions and FPS issues are a set back.

    The story is not narrated chronologically and hence may feel a little disjointed. Having said that I really enjoyed the story and it made me care for the two main characters of this game.

    Graphics wise, this game is stunning. Due to the limitation of budget and team size, some aspects of the game are not at the highest level i.e. polygon count, skin texture, etc. , but where it shines it the lighting department. It has a brilliant weather system.

    Gameplay wise, the enemy AI is a but weak but it being an open world game with so many enemies, killing the freaks was a fun experience. The shooting is a bit off in the beginning but as we progress, it gets better.

    Overall I really enjoyed this game and I would recommend this to all the gamers who enjoy Sony Games. It might not be up there with the likes of GOW, Spiderman, Horizon, TLOU, Uncharted, etc. , but it holds it's own in many aspects.

    Es una auténtica joya, se merece un 9,3 gráficos impresionantes, gran variedad de enemigos, mundo abierto muy vivo y bien detallado, innovando en las hordas, la historia es algo lenta pero se disfruta a las mil maravillas , recomiendo jugar en modo supervivencia todo una a sensación de sobrevivir y algún qie otro susto

    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

I am a big fan of Red Dead Redemption 2 story mode, and after just hours in this game it highlights just how bad RDR2 controlled. Half of the game is about gunplay and looking back it was total ass. This game isn't great in that department, but it is at least still fun and more so than a much more more highly rated game. The world, story and atmosphere in Days Gone are incredibly enjoyable, and achieves a very dense feeling post-apocalyptic woodland, very similar to The Walking Dead aesthetic. If you are a fan of RDR2, The Last of Us, or was put off buying due to reviews - buy the game. Just look at fan reception. You can see that people who play the Days Gone without any other motive than to just enjoy it are confused by the media score and are enjoying a great game.… Expand

    Horas de muita diversão. História envolvente. Matar hordas é muito bom. Fazer quest é muito leve e natural. Não dou 10 somente pelos bugs que existem no jogo. Recomendo.

    The story's first act is weak but picks up when you venture south to Lost Lake. The protagonist is well voice acted but is just unlikeable at the beginning, although he develops later in the story.

Oregon is a beautiful setting, traversal by bike is well done and there is an amazing dynamic weather system. The bike is by far the best character of the game, it reflects your development through the story and must not be neglected. I will agree that it can be a bit tedious at the start, especially finding fuel but after the half way point, it is no longer a problem. This is a buggy game with many audio problems, it definitely needed more polish. This is a "AA" game which has overstretched itself, some mainstream reviews are a bit harsh as it is no "Last of Us 2". It is a good game, not terrible or amazing. For a first time IP, I had a good time after spending over 60 hours in the story. I would recommend that you try this game.… Expand

    A very special game, after passing there remains a pleasant aftertaste, and when the credits end, you want to jump on the bike and further explore this beautiful believable world, climb into every house and explore all the places on the map.

This is one of the best games about post-apocalypse in which I had to play, I was so strongly attached to this world that I did not want to leave it. Characters live and natural with living problems. The world is incredibly beautiful and interesting, the feeling of reality does not leave for a minute, despite numerous shortcomings and bugs, immersion remains at a high level, excellent gameplay, smart shooting and bike control, elegant progression and the motivation to play on. When I watched the gameplay videos before the release and the promo, I was skeptical about it, and a lot of people who did not play the game and now treat it the same way. But this is one of those games that you wouldn’t appreciate by the videos with the gameplay or reviews, you need to play it yourself, because a great part of your admiration is caused by those things that you cannot describe with words and do not show on going through, you need to feel it yourself. I highly recommend it to everyone.… Expand

    You would laugh, but for me this is the best PS4 game. Period. And yes, I played most of other popular games, as TLOU, GoW, Witcher 3, etc. Nope, they are not as good as this one!

    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 :)    … Expand

    По-моему один из лучших экшенов про зомби-апокалипсис. Хорошо проработаный мир, каждое задание интересное, сопереживаешь почти всем героям. Отличная физика байка, обожаю рассекать на нём по адищу. Единственный минус, - это баги, бывало что нужная цель (которую надо убить) застрявала в текстурах и приходилось возвращаться к контрольной точке.По-моему один из лучших экшенов про зомби-апокалипсис.

    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.
