    Excellent game that deserves a much better "professional" critic reviews...

    С самого выхода Days Gone обзавелась сомнительно репутацией главного аргумента в пользу печального тезиса, мол, "в дорогом сегменте рынка уже даже Sony гениальных игр не издает".

В рецензиях на игру часто приводились туманные "ничего нового" и "все это мы уже видели" (что, вообще говоря, неправда), хотя, к примеру, абсолютно вторичной в большинстве механик The Last of Us до сих пор поются дифирамбы. При этом почему-то игнорируется факт того, что разработчики игр ААА-класса вообще редко склонны к экспериментам, а разумной политикой считают рациональное комбинирование испытанных приемов в точно отмеренных пропорциях. В этом контексте Days Gone вполне удачен, и мерясь с ближайшими сородичами по жанру, по отдельным критериям даёт фору буквально всем флагманам. В отличие от той же The Last of Us, здесь не безответственное роуд-муви с едва очерченными второстепенными персонажами, а полноценная история с постепенным раскрытием характеров двух десятков действующих лиц. По сравнению с невменяемой в вопросе истории и диалогов Horizone: Zero Dawn и беспросветно трешовой Metro Exodus, здесь все несоизмеримо серьёзнее и качественнее: поступки персонажей естественны, и даже в русской локализации их речи в большинстве своём озвучены более чем достойно (несмотря на то, что разговоров тут немерено, и редкая минута игрового времени не сопровождается чьей-нибудь болтовней). Стрельба тут приятная, мотоцикл обладает инерцией и ощущается гораздо лучше, чем где-либо ещё, картинка очень детализированная, а анимация тел и лиц правдоподобная и разнообразная (чего не скажешь, к примеру, о недавнем God of War, где на каждый вид противника приходилось ровно по одной анимации добивания).
    ***
    Где Days Gone даёт слабину, так это в деталях, причем проявляется это несистематично - то тут, то там - и в основном в первой трети игры. То нас несколько раз подряд заставляют гнать через всю карту, чтобы обменяться с товарищами парой слов (—Как дела? —Не очень. —Понятно. Миссия окончена). То представленная аутисткой девочка через минуту проявляет себя как вполне адекватный человек. То на нас обрушивают ворох скучных стелс-миссий (при этом дающих огромную фору детсадовскому стелсу Horizone с его подсветкой маршрутов противников и "совершенно случайно" разбросанными вдоль них навясчивыми островками травы "в которой можно прятаться"). Занудных флешбеков вовсе без геймплея (хотя он там явно напрашивается) начинаешь натурально бояться: "Ну только бы не снова они!" Не будь этих редких нелепостей, игра бы оказалась шедевром. Но увы: это просто хороший проект с редкими досадными упущениями, но морем достоинств.    … Expand

    Such an underrated game amongst the Game Journalist fraternity. As a result I almost didn't play it. Its not that I put a particularly large amount of faith in what they have to say but I have such a large backlog that it can sway my opinion.

As a result I almost didn't play it. Its not that I put a particularly large amount of faith in what they have to say but I have such a large backlog that it can sway my opinion.

    I'm glad that it didn't though. Days Gone may not 'quite' have the blockbuster production values of H:ZD or GoW (or Uncharted, TLoU or GoT) but it certainly has heart. The story starts off fairly rudimentary but becomes very good by the end... and for all the nonsense spouted about 'yet another gruff white male protagonist, Deacon Saint John (as well as his friend Boozer) is one of the most likeable characters of this generation by the time you complete the game.

    The gameplay, particularly the gun-play got some stick during the reviews but its down to it being an upgradeable skill. By the time you have taken your gun based skills through the skill tree, the gun-play is as good as any third-person open world shooter.

    The graphics, in much the same way as my earlier point around production values are a little rougher around the edges than what we have come to expect from most PS4 exclusives but there are still plenty of occasions where the game looks absolutely stunning. The music is fantastic also, with a chilled out, soft rock vibe that fits perfectly between the biker protagonists and the Pacific North-West.

    I also really appreciated the germane looting format. There aren't any 'chests' or the like but if you need specific items, you have to look where said items would be most likely in the real world e.g. if you need ammo or guns, search a police car. If you need medical supplies, you should search an ambulance etc. Even things like alarm clocks (used for certain explosives) will generally be on the bed-side table of an abandoned/burned out home. It sounds a little thing but it adds a considerable amount of depth to the game world and immersion.

    Finally, the Hordes are fantastic. You shouldn't really be attempting them until endgame, as the skills and equipment that you will have by that point are needed to secure victory but the facet of the game is the absolute stand-out usp. There are plenty of them too. I probably took down four or five during the campaign but to get the Platinum, I must have taken down another fifteen or twenty. Some absolutely glorious end game content, up there with the best end-game content of any open-world game in my opinion.

    If you let the terrible reviews put you off, I'd suggest you reconsider. Fantastic game and hopefully Sony Bend are hard at work on the sequel as I write this.    … Expand

    With Days Gone, there are as many positive things I can say about the game as negative. Let's start with the positives. The open world is beautiful and detailed, from grass to rocks to gravel to asphalt to the trees and houses and interiors of every building is spot on. the character models are great, facial animations are also very well done. The Freakers (Zombies) are detailed with thereWith Days Gone, there are as many positive things I can say about the game as negative. Let's start with the positives. The open world is beautiful and detailed, from grass to rocks to gravel to asphalt to the trees and houses and interiors of every building is spot on. the character models are great, facial animations are also very well done. The Freakers (Zombies) are detailed with there blistered discolored skin, however its the sound design that shines the most. Having a hoard of i them behind you, hearing them chirp and screech, hundreds of feet slaming the ground gives you a rush. The Freaker wolves can run faster than your motorcycle, which can make a simple ride down the road a ride for your life. The Freaker bears will give you pause as you decide between killing them (which takes a LOT of ammo) or just going the other way. The guns are also very detailed and sound amazing. Riding your bike is smooth and responsive, however if you're not carefull it can get away from you resulting in a hilarious demise. The story of the game is good, not great, but good. Overall, a good open world zombie shooter. Now the negatives. (This is a RANT). There are WAY to many cuts from game to cinematic, the load time between them is too slow for a game made in 2019. The acting in the Days Gone is fairly good but some lines of dialogue feel out of place.The Freakers, as numerous as they are, are too easy to dispatch, the Freaker wolves, although able to outrun your bike, are simple to kill, the Freaker bears, although incredibly tough to bring down, are sluggish and easy to outpace and can be instakilled with a upgrade you get as you level up. The human enemys are pethetic. However my biggest complaint in Days Gone is the VIRUS it self. In terms of a virus for zombies, Days Gone has the best version of it over Left 4 Dead, Dying Light, and The Last of Us. my complaint is that if you put logic to the virus in Days Gone, it destroys the game as a whole. in Days Gone you find audio logs that detaile the virus and how infectious it is. in the logs you figure out that it not only infects humans, but it also infects animals and insects, meaning you could be bit by a mosquito and you're infected! Which means you can't even walk outside without a armored environmental suit! You can't hunt or farm meat due to the risk of infection. You can't even live on land! You would have to live on a ship, even then you still have to deal with the occasional infected bird, not to mention the thousands if not millions of infected fish and sharks swimming beneath you... cheary thought. Simply put, Days Gone should have been a completely different game. Days Gone is well worth your time playing it, but the logic of the virus kills the experience.… Expand

    Brilliant story. Gameplay is decent not ground braking but absolutely very decent. Loving the effort that these smaller studios are putting into their games they done a magnificent job working with a low budget for this game.

The only negative for me was the performance issues, especially when the big hordes were on the screen, which caused the game to dropped in framerates but I never had a crash.

    This game takes the zombie genre and improves on it with hordes of zombies and a well fleshed out open world.

    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.
