    Amazing gameplay, there are problems obviously but is certainly important that bend studio don't fall for it.
    I hope that will sell a lot.

    This is without a doubt, the best game on the PS4. The protagonist Deacon St. John is such a good protagonist for a zombie game like this. The more the game goes on, the better it gets. I've spent a lot of hours playing this game and enjoyed every hour, every minute and even every second of my experience. Buy this game. You will NOT be disappointed.

    Great game play and great story! I was hooked! Wish there was more. I could not believe that it was already over.

    I’ve played this almost 10 hours so far and I think it’s great. I just put in 70 hours into Assassins Creed Odyssey and before that at least 80 into RDR2 and I’d say so far this falls somewhere in between those two for me. I read a lot of hate online but honestly I don’t know why.

Just a little bit ago I was riding my motorcycle and hit a tree and the bike glitched into a mountain but I was able to get it right back. The voice acting is great tho and I really dig the world and atmosphere. I’d say the positives definitely outweigh the negatives for this game and I recommend it. I’d say it’s a solid 8-8.5 but I’ll give it a 10 to bump it up a little from people giving it a zero for no reason. Expand

    For me this is a perfect game. Everything I could have wanted! Open world. Great guns. Zombies. Motorbike. Interesting story. If you have not played this game yet why the hell not!?? GO GET IT!

Personally i couldn't get into zero dawn or red dead ( no matter how good ) but with a 'freaker' apocalypse setting this was perfect for me. I enjoyed the upgrade system and looked forward to acquiring new skills and trophies which is quite rare for me, the gameplay feels seamless (mostly), the melee combat is amazing especially late game and i didn't have a problem with shooting mechanics personally (especially late game). The world is beautiful, you will find yourself wanting to play again more the next day to progress in all areas. Upgrading the bike allows it to take more fuel and a bashing/make it faster and I like the 'fix and fuel' mechanic, once you get near the end the bike is GREAT! fuel capacity is really nice... I could go on.. Honestly, if you like zombie/open world games try it for yourself. it is a great game, The story is really nice, I enjoyed it and I also rarely care about story. Decent enough characters and plot. I rate it 9 out of 10 but i have put 10 to up the score from the negative reviews to get it into 8 territory. I think people were just expecting the world and I cannot understand the stick it got.. If you step back and look it's really good, sure I have experienced a few bugs here and there but it didn't make me angry or annoyed.
    I hope this helped. I know it wasn't written with journalistic quality but here you go!

    From start I thought it will be another open world action game. Somehow It changed into sneaking - crawling - experimenting type of game with very interesting mechanics and very good story.

    For example you can wipe out enemy camp several ways, also freaks can "help" you. Dont be afraid to try to find new ways. Towards the end its better and better. Its not one run experience like

    Its not one run experience like gow or U4, also story wasnt so much interesting like HZD, but overall this game is on par with these jewels of Sony games. Great experience!

    I never thought a game would match The last of us in story but I was surprised at how close days gone is to that game, most of the characters are very interesting. The landscapes and various areas are beautiful. The bike is awesome, for this item alone the game gets a +. But the various guns and melee weapons you can collect along the way are so much fun to see what each can do.

This is only like a few other games where the replay value is over the top good, and finally the hordes I mean come on is there anything more fun than fighting off 500 freakers. Expand

    Loved all of it, started playing on ps4 pro, and finished it on ps5. It was a great game for me. Good story, good action, it kept me doing some side missions without making it feel dull. As if it was part of the main story. Just play it

    Most fun I have had in a game for years. Fast-paced and likable characters. The story was a little weak in some areas but overall it kept my attention and I have already replayed it twice. The weapons are fun and balanced for each situation. I like how the campaign was designed in that you are not punished if something gets too hard. it is a great game for casual gamers and trophy hunters.Most fun I have had in a game for years.

    What I don’t like:

    Random encounter voice acting, so out of place and bad.
    Some poor writing
    Combat poor in opening few hours causing frustration rather than tension
    Few missions with backup or a companion

    I'm giving this game a 10/10 despite the framerate drops, in hopes that Sony will continue it's professional ethics and fix it within a reasonable timeframe.

    In spite of the horrendous framerate, this game is a must buy.

    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.
