    Awesome game! I can tell sony rushed this dev team and it makes itself known with some bugs here and there. It ends up giving a fun awesome, probably the best zombie game ever made a bad name. It's on sony for rushing a diamond being made. 71 lol Meta get with the program looks like you need better Critics.

    Days Gone has a really slow start and it's not trying to run after the player like other games. It's prologue ends after you meet Obrian - then it gets you in.

Now I'm in love with days gone. I platinumed it but sometimes I run it just to ride some bike with some good background guitar music, dangerous atmosphere and hordes. After they canceled the sequel it felt like a tragedy because days gone is not just a game for me. I'm really gonna buy a motorcycle because of this game, seriously) Anyway, if you trusted those stupid reviews and didn't buy the game like me - you better go run buy it. Red Dead Redemption 2 is about redeeming yourself, Days Gone is about finding your loved one. Thank you ROCKSTAR for breaking my heart and thank you BEND STUDIO for restoring my soul.

    I love this game. I played this game on the PS4, do I can’t vouch for any on its issues on the PC, but I didn’t encounter any major issues when I played it. It was pretty much what I expected going into it, with a good story that kept you wanting to find out more with the completion of each mission. I also liked the variety of enemies(human, animal, and freaker). It’s annoying whenI love this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Days Gone is an absolute masterpiece, of course this review comes 4 years after the release and after 99.8% of issues were fixed BUT.... still, it's one of the best games out there, the story is immersive, deep and it offers you a background of what happen piece by piece, it does not spam you with 100 mini quests after you are given control and you do not have 50 things to do all at one, you can take your time, explore, the pace of the game is how you want it to be, play through all main missions all at once or take your time, explore, find new things, clear out enemies, you decide how you want to play it.
    The mechanics of the game are polished (again, reviewing after 4 years of fixing) but there was not a single time through my 60+ hours of gameplay when I felt cheated by the content, no microtransactions, no add-ons, no skins for your bike for 4.99$, you get what you paid! A full game where everything is unlockable in the game not by spending more money on top of what you already paid for! The first time I've played it, after 2 hours it felt like 10 minutes, I couldn't get enough, it's so satisfying driving around, kill hordes, ambush camps damn.... even being ambushed, knocked out and have to escape the kidnappers is fun, it's a breath of fresh air where you are not constantly bugged to buy this, pre-order that, 80% discount for an extension at only 29.99$... this game represents what a game should be, how a game should be and to be honest, a sequel is very much deserved. The story ends with a cliffhanger .... obviously the story is not finished because I want to know what will happen next after [SPOILER ALERT] O'Brian jumps on the NERO helicopter, too bad SONY will not approve a sequel to this gem, obviously they are mad because they couldn't milk more money as there are any things to buy in-game but man what a journey this game was, I recommend playing it and give it a chance because it deserves one!    … Expand

    Is simply logic the game is outstanding and beautiful the history really touched my heart.
    PD if your motorcycle doesn't have gas your lost. Never in a game take care of one thing so simple like the gas in the majority of the games the gas is free and ilimited but in days gone is the most important thing. I love the simple details like that. 10 for days gone and praying for a days gone 2.

    A story for fans of post-apocalyptic future scenarios. Tightens, you start to live in the game. Advice for those who haven't played, don't rush through the game quickly, enjoy every scene, watch the dialogue to the end, it's worth it.

    Literally created an account so that I could rate this game because it deserves way more praise than it initially received. One of my favorite open world games ever. Sure some of the writing can be a little cheesy at times, but it still makes you fall in love with the characters and want to dive into the story. Bend Studio thank you, and Sony WE WANT A SEQUEL!

    Someone from Sony, please read this.

    I understand that at the end of the day, it's just a company that wants to make money, but it's absolute fact that Days Gone 2 would make a lot of money. Easily, easily more than Horizon 2. There's millions of fans out there who want this game and millions of potential new fans, who would be interested, if you actually made this game. Not making    Someone from Sony, please read this.

There's millions of fans out there who want this game and millions of potential new fans, who would be interested, if
    you actually made this game. Not making Days Gone 2 would be biggest mistake in entertainment history ever. Nothing else is even comparable.

    Sony is overall amazing company and i have huge respect for it, especially in recent years when you decided to bring your games to PC and by the way, you are doing it better than lots of other companies. You don't use Denuvo, your games always work and if they have bugs or technical problems, you make sure to fix them.

    But also, please understand that Horizon 2 was very mid game, i mean, is anyone even playing it anymore? Does anyone even care? Nobody is even talking about that game anymore. Games should be made, so people keep playing them, not for them to collect dust on shelves, just for some fanboys to say that they have the sequel too, even tho they never play it. God of War 2 was better, but let's face it, also mid. At the end of the day, it was pretty much same thing all over again as the first game. I'm not hating, but it wasn't anything phenomenal. So i'm asking seriously, what's next?

    Your only guaranteed hit is right now Spider-Man 2. This one will sell easy 20 million+. But other than that, you have nothing. I mean, you just keep making Horizon and God of War sequels endlessly? Bruh. Thanks to Days Gone PC release, there are so many new fans who want sequel to that game. This game got so much deserved respect after the PC release.

    So why Days Gone? you might ask. What is so special about this game? Well let me tell you.
    Days Gone has likable main character, if you don't like him, that's your personal issue and has nothing to do with him. Graphically, days gone is phenomenal, i could drive around the map for hours and enjoy these fantastic weather effects. ONLY game that does it equally good, is Red Dead Redemption 2.
    Now, bike mechanics and upgrading. I know some people hated it (also personal issue btw), but i love that system. Planning out the routes, before you start driving, making sure you have enough gas in your bike. Taking gas from actual gas stations (first game to ever do that) is amazing. This is exactly what survival game needs. I'm not saying every game needs stuff like that, i'm fine that i can drive endlessly in GTA, but in Days Gone, it's cool. Story, while i agree it keeps going for too long, is actually solid. It's not bad. All the mistakes could be fixed in sequel anyway. Map is very well designed, all the houses and buildings that you can explore, broken bridges, that small city area and so on. Everything has this perfect post-apocalyptic feeling. Hordes is amazing addition to this game and there's so much you could do with that in the sequel. Anyone who says that Days Gone is just another generic zombie game, has no idea what he/she is talking about. It's the BEST open-world zombie game ever made. Of course there could be argument, that Days Gone simply isn't the most mainstream game ever made, but in my opinion it's popular enough. Not everything needs to be Spider-Man. Even Alan Wake (huge fan btw) isn't as popular as Days Gone and even that game is getting a sequel.

    What could/should you do with the sequel?
    You could make it optional co-op, make both Sarah and Deacon playable in co-op. Make them go into big city to explore what's left of humanity, make them find out what has happened with rest of the world. Make them meet more survivors. Extend bike mechanics to boats, so you have to make sure you have enough gas canisters with you, before you go to sea. There could be mutated sharks and other sea creatures. Expand swimming/diving and so on...

    There is no other AAA open-world Zombie/survival game like Days Gone. NONE. This is the only game. Dying Light was decent game, but it's not even the same level, Days Gone is so much deeper and more complex. Dying Light 2 was awful. And if you really don't care about that game, just sell the rights to someone else, so someone else can make this masterpiece of a sequel. Sequel that fans actually want and are actually asking for. Thanks for reading.    … 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.
