    Jogo muito bom, gráficos excelentes, pena que a Bend Studios lançou com tantos bugs, mas felizmente estão consertando e está ficando ainda melhor do que já era.

    Good game with excellent story.
    Should be played only after all bugs have been fixed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 8.5 FOR ME! Just done playing this game on HARD mode and now I moved on to Survival mode. Its a blast! I will go over a few things below:

    PACING - I don't see why people found issues with this? At first I was feeling overwhelmed by the amount of content, side-missions and basics of every new region that unlocks. But thanks to the 'slow' start, I understood so much about the game right at the start that was very helpful in learning how the game functions. It gives a base understanding of the mechanics such as what you unlock from clearing ambush camps, what you get by burning nests and what happens from activating NERO points. I never really had any issues with the pacing of the game. If you just want to beat it for the sake of it, YES, the game is slow but then its not even fun.

    STORY/PERFORMANCE - Overall, the story is good. It gets better as the game goes on and it has some really unexpected plot twists which work out well. The secret ending(s) setup perfectly for the sequel and some speculations as well. I will say that the game lacked the performance or effort from certain characters and sometimes Deacon and a few others didnt sound/act natural or came out polished but overall I am satisfied. Nothing great in performance but nothing average either.

    GAMEPLAY - Ok, first of, you don't get to fight the hordes right off the bat and that sucks. I hope that in the next game, they at least give you a back seat at horde fights; watching a bunch of people from each camp/region take out a horde in unity so it feels like this can't be done alone, only to do the hordes alone at later stages of the game. Being an open-world game, I really found it interesting and strategic as to how I should deal with certain situations. Customizing and Flexibility was well placed here. You can take out enemies in a handful of different ways and those ways can then be done with different weapons. The game allows you to Fast Travel between major checkpoints (except survival mode) which is a plus as you may not be the one who likes to ride your bike that much. The time of the day and weather impacts are very creative of the studio and I am hoping that they expand upon it in the next game, not sure how but the studio is welcome to surprise us. I am not a huge fan of shooting games and don't know much about the mechanics so I will just say the shooting aspect seemed ok to me. The human AI, however, is extremely dumb in stealthy situations and I hope it gets fixed.

    TECHNICALITIES - Ok this is where the negatives are, most of them. The game still drops frames (patch 1.30) towards the end part of it. And that becomes consistent. There are glitches and bugs in it. Are they game-breaking? Well I only encountered 2 or 3 being game-breaking. One where a tough enemy was stuck and I could cheese kill him by exploiting the glitch. Another where I couldn't access my inventory which stopped me from completing a mission. And maybe another here or there that wasn't that game-breaking but kind of vital. They can all be fixed by rebooting the game/console. If you don't play for more than 2-3 hours per sitting, you won't really encounter most of these bugs. But still, they are annoying at times and can make you rage.

    OVERALL - Overly satisfied with the game and can't wait for the sequel!

    I bought the game 8 months after the release with low expectations based on the mainstream media reviews. I am glad I did. This game is amazing. I was shocked at how good it was. Interesting story. Amazing characters and fun gameplay. It has some problems but it not as bad as you might think. If you are into open world games with lots of thing to discover you will this game.

    The game is awesome. At this day I don't really understand the bad critics. It's enjoyable, realistic and fun. I'd give it a 9 because no game is perfect but it has gave me sooo many hours of fun and you can feel the hard work putted on this game. Also time to time they add patches that improve the game experience.

    I've played every survival horror game on both pc and ps4 and I have to say it is awesome,

After you defeated one horde you get very much fragile and need to find a safe place . It's best zombie game out there . I loved it much more than last of us cause it had much more freedom and you actually can have good gunplay .Compared to last of us gun play in my idea is much better than that. You cannot expect call of duty gun quality from this type of game and I really liked headshot one bullet idea of gun play that when you get mastered in it you can conquer this game.Don't listen to critics I really loved this game much more than red dead

    Despite the bugs, the game has very beautiful landscapes, incredible ambiance and the story is very engaging, it is a game that makes you want to play until the end to find out what happened in this world and the outcome of the story.

    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.
