    I wanted a AAA version of a State of Decay style game for PS4 but instead got another Sony' games that rather be movies. I call it the naught dog effect.

Every Sony exclusives is trying to be like them but i for one think all their games are overrated. They are games you play through once and never touch them again, which for me is not a mark of a good game. Bend Studios i thought was going to take the formula and do something more, a post-apocalyptic game that will feel like a ND game but will have gameplay and survival systems that will keep me engaged like State of Decay but nope, its a game that would much rather be a movie. I'm getting sick of games putting gameplay on the back-burner and rather focus on Cutscenes and graphics. The game looks good for trailers i give them that but the game play feels so unpolished, melee attacks dont feel good, firing a gun doesn't feel good, hit boxes feel random as hell sometimes. The tagline for the game is the world comes for you but most of the time im looking for freakers to chase me because the world feels big and empty. Sure you get an occasional wolf attack and or humans attackers but they seem so infrequent. With a tagline like that I wanted to feel like i was in danger at every corner. Collecting resources in a open world survival game is always fun for me but its not fun here, all you can collect is items to make weapons. Where is the base maintenance and management? base upgrade systems? Collecting stuff in an open world gives people a good chance to take their time and really appreciate the details in the world you created, but when you are just maxed out on everything after an hour then whats the point., just drive to the next objective i guess so you can use up your meds and Molotov's. Where is the decaying gunss, where is the customization. Half the budget went to the cutscenes so the gameplay and systems are barebones. Sorry bend studios, i wanted to love this game as i really like Deacon as a character but i just wanted something more focused on gameplay instead of another ND slog.… Expand

    I don't know what I was thinking when I got this crap... I mean, over 40 patches and no improvement?? Hell, I don't even know what I was thinking when I got a PS4 for that matter... Do yourself a favor and don't buy this lousy "game", you'll not be able to resell it easy after :/

    3. Control is terrible. Sluggishness leads to over steering of the bike. Not good in a game designed around a motorcycle. Takes forever to upgrade. See #1. Aiming isn't much better. The weapon wheel is a complete joke. Control is very aggravating while fighting a horde.

    4. Buggy, glitchy mess both audio and visual that takes you out the experience. Had to restart to sync audio.

    5. Pandering to SJW crowd. Not as forced as usual but still seemed stuck in as an afterthought. Being lesbians makes these characters no more interesting.

    6. Some missions will funnel you. Don't destroy my battlefield ingenuity in an open world game.

    Rent this on a weekend. If you like it, wait for a sale. I got close to the end but didn't even care by then. Could've cared less what happened. Repetitive with no reward.    … Expand

    Unfortunately the game suffers from very vulgar dialogue and themes in cerain cutscenes that are dreadful to go through. Also, deviant charaacters are employed in attempts to go against religious beliefs. Otherwise the story would have been more engaging and intense if this was not the case

    Visually impressive but mechanically horrific. Major systems like hiding, luring and dodging fail consistently and swarms frequently spawn just steps away from you. Without functioning mechanics to escape, the game is virtually unplayable. I returned it to the store and have no plans to waste my time with it again.

    Like others extremely dissapointed with the game. Same old tired open world repeat quests, gameplay not fun. Sure there is something wrong with the gun play and driving in this game. Plenty of technical difficulties than can ruin quests as the save system needs improving either with better and frequent auto saves or a more leniant hard save.

    Played on hard mode. After the patch automatically the level of difficulty was changed to easy . And I more than half of the game went on easy without knowing it. This is a very big minus in the karma of developers. My assessment 0 key, and wanted to 8 put.

    I had very good expectations on this game, and ended up being a total disappointment. The shooting mechanics are very bad. the story is boring and uninspired... most of the game is about fueling and upgrading the motorbike. No co op or multiplayer. the graphics downgraded from what was shown on 2016. I got bored in 2 hours. Ended up selling it and taking World War Z Instead.

    Man, what a love-hate relationship i have with this game. On one hand it's the most uninspired/ unoriginal, most bland open world ubisoft esque clone game there is.

On the other, the characters are interesting, with a story that ranges from interesting to what feels sometimes dragged on. The gameplay is fine, I mean you can't go wrong if you copy elements from every other open world game out there. The upgraded bike is great, and I'll go even as far as to say the gunplay isn't that bad either (both need to be upgraded, however). I will also say what a shame a studio that hasn't put out a game in 5+ years decided to put in so much time and resources into a game that checks all the boxes in an open ubisoft open-world game. I honestly don't know where bend goes from here, the only potential this franchise has is to perfect performance ( both bugs and frame rate). It's an new ip, but it sure as hell doesn't feel like one. Basic review:
    Pros: Ton of content (although in a ubisoft-esque way), interesting characters, upgraded bike, hordes.
    So-So: Nero checkpoints and ambush camps are generic but rewarding enough, story ranges from intriguing to not going anywhere. Gun play and general game play (think far cry with zombies)
    Cons: uninspired/unoriginal title, nauseating frame-rate drops, unpolished game (bugs and glitches), one of the most bland open world I've played in a long time. The side missions are rinse and repeat literally EVERYTIME.
    Bottom line, this game was a roller coaster for me, I wanted to quit because of the frame rate, but then the story gets interesting.. the gameplay loop has me bored, but then the horde shows up and i get hooked back in...etc etc. Try that for 30 hours. Game's ok a flat 70 from me. Think a low budget/ unpolished far cry game with zombies.    … Expand

    O jogo tinha potencial para ser algo bem melhor que o que foi entregue. Infelizmente o que temos é um produto incompleto e desbalanceado em vários sentidos.

    A Inteligência artificial é muito ruim e isso atrapalha o jogo de diversas maneiras, principalmente quando estivermos falando do combate, das seções de furtividade e muito constantemente na quebra da imersão.

    O sistema de progressão (passar de níveis) e a mecânica de sobrevivência não funcionam por serem implementadas de forma leviana. Você não tem consequências por usar os recursos em momentos errados pois eles são muito abundantes em todos os cantos do game, no final ele só serve para dar a falsa impressão que você está criando bombas e bandagens. Já a falsa progressão de RPG não combina com o jogo e é extremamente genérica e sem criatividade, você ganha habilidades que já poderiam fazer parte do jogo porque literalmente não fazem diferença nenhuma se não existissem, o jogo não seria mais fácil ou mais difícil por conta dessa habilidades.

    O audiovisual do jogo seria muito competente se não fossem as constantes falhas técnicas que também contribuem para foder a experiência de jogo e a imersão. São bugs, glitches e quedas constantes na taxa de quadros. Além disso temos uma trilha sonora completamente esquecível aliada a um excelente design de som que sofre muito com glitchs e problema de sincronização, inclusive de falar em cutcenes.

    Outro ponto que enfraquece ainda mais a experiência de Days Gone é a falta de criativade com o universo e o design do mundo do jogo. O mundo aberto é sem graça e cheio de atividades repetitivas. Faltou bastante esmero nesse ponto.

    Days Gone não é um jogo ruim, mas também não é um jogo bom e essa nota 7 está de acordo com o que o game entrega. O jogo é decepcionante e não tem a qualidade que se espera de um AAA da Sony.    … Expand

    Few things I regret more than buying this joke of a game, even on sale. Unlikeable characters, terrible controls, decade old game design elements. Loading, cutsene, loading... The fault is of course mine, I should have watched the first few minutes of gameplay before purchase, but didn't want to spoil the story. Shame on Sony for allowing this, not the standard we are used to

If the only thing you care for in a game is length, you're in luck: The game is roughly 15 hours longer than it has any right to be, as it continually introduces new characters and storylines long after any competent writer would have wrapped things up.

    Wow this is a new low. You start the game with no story, no introduction. nothing, just the guy's wife takes a helicopter. 1 min and you are already doing repetitive missions.

    Edit: been playing 15 hours and all I did was look after a sick boozer by doing repetitive quests. Literally nothing happens in the story but sprinkling a little cutscene here and there.

    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.
