    Made the mistake of playing this right after Last of Us 2 and ABSOLUTELY HATED it! Worst game mechanics, worst aiming mechanics, worst weapon handling mechanics, worst stealth mechanics. Tried giving it 2nd and 3rd chances but uninstalled right after the 3rd try ... BAD GAME!

    One of the worst games I’ve every played. Horrible performance, grindy, and god awful side quests.

    Repetive missions and mediocre story drag the whole game down.

    **** gam. Another boring open world game, only this time on bike.
    - boring and repetitive quests
    - clunky
    - boring mc
    - horrible framerate on base PS4
    - annoying and most boring setting (zombies? yaaay..)
    - another loot/craft stupidity
    - hunting is shallow and not rewarding
    - empty open world

    - Autosaves are way too scarce. I was exploring the map, clearing out several enemy camps and forgot to make a manual save for a while, then died instantly from a fall with my motorcycle and lost all progress since my last story mission.

    - You can carry around a bunch of large items (like bottles), but you can only carry a very limited amount of bullets. It's a way to artificially enhance the difficulty of the game, and it's equally parts stupid and illogical.

    - Getting swarmed by a hundred enemies at once is a bit cool the first time it happens, but after that, it's just irritating. Every time it happens, you're forced into fleeing until you can get out of combat, return to the area and hope you don't get swarmed again. There's no entertainment value in it whatsoever.

    - You have to constantly refuel your motorcycle, because you can only ride it for a very short time before a full tank is emptied. Imagine if you'd have to stop to find gas every five minutes in real life.

    - Looting is slow and tedious, and you have to do it all the time if you want to have any chance of survival. They could've easily made the game autoloot everything, but the developers apparently thought we'd enjoy having to waste like 10% of the total playtime on looting.

    - Having to push R3 over and over and over again to highlight which objects you can interact with. You could technically play the game without this function, but you'd have to either miss out on most of the loot in the game or search every nook and cranny of every area.

    I could list a whole bunch of other gripes, such as the awful protagonist or uninteresting story, but I can't be arsed to get into any more detail, because it'd be just as big a waste of time as playing the actual game.    … Expand

    Even though it wasn't made by Ubisoft, it really feels that way, the same exact map-clearing side quest and cellectables that really feel like they're in the game just to stretch out the play time. Even if you have the patience to power through, the story is just meh.

    The same over trodden open world mechanics Now with more Zombies! Days Gone is fine, it's quite good at times, but you have already played this game 4 or 5 times, possibly in the 4 months of 2019. The disappointment is the hugely polished games Sony has pushed out prior to this, poor Days Gone has unattainable levels to match.

Not comparing this game to others of the same genre, it still offers nothing new - if this was released on PS3, it would have scored a lot better in my opinion. The main reason for the low scores is the let down experienced by many PS4 owners.

    CONS:
    The world is annoying to traverse and is empty.
    The characters leave no lasting impression.
    Decon is a bit of an a$$ most of the time and you don't really feel anything towards him.
    The gunplay is better in Toy Story on PS1.
    The narrative is very predictable.
    HIGHLY repetitive (and I cannot stress this enough)

    PROS:
    Fun to pick up and play in short bursts
    The bike is fun to ride (but then breaks after 1 jump)

    I would not recommend this game in its current state/price.

    Days gone starts with a pandemic infection wiping out humanity and we skip right to a few years down the road from the start of the infection. You play as a bland one-dimensional character Deacon St John a bounty hunter who stayed in the Oregon region to find answers about his past. The game starts off like a Mad Max Situation, your bike is taken and stripped for parts, so your objective is to build your bike from scratch and make it the best bike in all the land. I progressed through the game at quite a slow pace and upgrading my bike seem to be more of a chore then an enjoyment, I feel this way because it seem to take a long time to build the trust up in the camps to get the parts I needed or wanted in this case. While I was not building up my bike, I was out performing what seem to be very mindless tasks and exploring the very bland world of Days Gone.

    While its not all bad there is a lot of fun to be had when it comes to Days Gone, infiltrating drifter camps and taken them down silently with my boot knife never got old or tiring. The gun gameplay is unique on its own but can be a bit aggravating when it comes to unlocking them, just like the bike parts you must have a certain trust levels unlocked. Like The Last Of Us the melee combat is unique and very satisfying from crafting to brutal take downs with a piece of two by four with a saw blade in it; another thing that is like the last of us is the crafting system of collecting resources to craft things like Molotov cocktails and med kits.
    The story in days gone is certainly a unique one, there is not really a certain one main story the closest thing that comes to it is trying to find out what happens to Deacons wife as you re live the past with their relationship and the events that transpired in it. But there are many story lines in the game, none that are very captivating, and it seems to take so long to complete these story lines an unnecessary amount of time. In Reality while playing this game I felt like I was going from one mind numbing mission to the other because I felt like I was doing the same thing over and over; not to say they were not fun but the fun came in spurts, the game feels longer then it should have been.
    While you are not cruising around on your bike or going from mission to mission you are fighting off hordes off freaker’s. When fighting off the hordes having focus shot is a must and having a automatic rifle, extended clip and Molotov cocktails are vitals when it comes to focusing on this task and is a lot of fun.
    Days Gone suffers from performance issues, the open world is very bland it would have done better as a linear game, and falls short when it comes to the fun factor. What could have been a great game seems like it tried too hard.
    Days Gone 7/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains some Spoilers!

    Even though i like the ps4 more than the xbox im still going to be completely neutral in this review of Bend Studios Days Gone.

    So im 25+ hours into the game and so far it is really fun when everything works but i've had some bugs in this game for example i played a mission where i was supposed to follow some guy and he just fell into the ground and i had to restart the mission which was really annoying. I also had some other bugs but aside from that this game can be really fun. Another bug i found was that a guy called me the same time the radio was on so i had two people talking at the same time which was annoying.

    The combat in this game is not brilliant. I don't feel like i have to buy any other guns and the ones i've used feels pretty much the same. The combat also feels a bit clunky with the third person camera but overall the combat is just okay to mediocre.

    Some things i liked about Days Gone were the trust system where you had to gain trust to be able to buy the higher tier guns and bike upgrades which is good so you have something to work for and the upgrades to the bike feels rewarding aswell and it makes you want to have a faster and quieter bike. The driving in this game is really fun aswell and it gets even better when you upgrade it. It also didn't get boring for me to drive the bike to all the different locations and i've almost never used fast travel which is a good thing. You also have to take care about your bike because it can break and run out of fuel. If it breaks you need to find scrap from broken cars or you can just find them out while looting and if your fuel runs out you need to find a gas at a gas station or just a can laying somewhere. This part of the game is good and later on you can also upgrade your bike to resist more damage and have a bigger tank.

    The sound of the bike is really good and also is the overall graphics in the game and the overall sound of the game is ok.

    This game also has a perk system where you can choose which type you want to upgrade. There are three types of perks: Melee, Ranged and Survival. I personally found the ranged category the most useful because it made my guns better and more fun to use. Melee is also good. Have not upgraded too much on survival yet but im definetly going to.

    The main storyline at the beginning is to find Deacon's lost wife even though he didn't even knew she was alive. The story itself is pretty good with it's good and bad parts. There is also different storylines so it's not the same the whole time and if you complete a storyline you get some pretty cool awards. My favorite one is the "I Remember" one where you find out about Deacons past in flashbacks which was really cool to see how he acted and how the world looked before the apocalypse. Some storylines is not that good though. I have to help people i don't feel anything and most characters you meet are not memorable which is a big issue in this game.

    So briefly said, the game is fun to play and the best part of this game is the driving and the trust/upgrade system in the game. Story okay and combat mediocre but overall the game is still fun and it is very satisfying just killing freakers with melee attacks. Definetly worth checking out but if your not sure if your going to like it or not you should probably wait for a sale.

    Story - 6.5/10
    Combat - 5/10
    Gameplay - 7/10
    Sound - 7/10
    Graphics 8.5/10
    Fun 8/10
    Upgrading/Trust system 8.5/10

    So after that i give this game 7/10. Definetly not the best game on the ps4 but definetly not the worst. 7/10 is not bad. People just think that because its yellow it's not good but 7/10 for me is a good game.
    Overall fun game and is worth checking out!    … 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.
