    The game that I have enjoyed the most this generation. It's the first open world I've ever beaten without using fast travel once, enjoying the environment doing absolutely everything and still wanting more. I'm not giving it a 10 for the occasional performance issues, because stealth missions are boring and for the disappointment that there was nothing when you finish defeating the hordes.

    This game has great gameplay, a likable protagonist and an engaging story. The game makes me CARE for the characters that Deacon interacts with and that's something only a few other games have done to me. Overall Days Gone is pretty fun with plenty of story and side content to invest in.

    This game is amazing. Loved the story. The only reason i am not giving it 10/10 is slight amount of bugs altough nothing too serious or game breaking.

The bike is hard to handle and the shooting controls aren't great, at least at first but none of the issues I had with the somewhat rough controls prevented me from enjoying this game immensely. Most of the components that make up the overall Days Gone package have been done before in previous games, there isn't much that's original. But not every game needs to be totally original and although unoriginal, it does most of the things it sets out to do very well. You won't find any level-gating or forced grinding here either. There seems to be just the right amount of side content/side missions, and they're all optional. I'd also like to point out that Bend studio has really nailed the open world formula. Like I said before, there is no forced grinding like there is in so many other AAA open world games today, and the open world is just the right size. Its large enough that it will take you many hours to fully explore, but it is small enough that you will retread the same areas and become at least somewhat familiar with them. I still find interesting little nooks and crannies in the map that I had passed by several times before as I continue to play. This game has so much heart and soul, its extremely clear to me that the developers at Bend Studio really put in the time and effort on every part of it. It's not without its faults, but I found those faults to be completely forgivable given the high level of quality here. If you enjoyed Red Dead Redemption 2, you'll enjoy Day's Gone. They have similar mechanics, similar issues, and are at their cores narrative-driven, high quality, single player open world games.… Expand

    Puntos negativos a destacar: la verdad hecho en falta variedad de enemigos, me refiero a grupos como los "RIP", personajes que me encantan, podrían haber hecho otros grupos de supervivientes más destacables como ellos; puede parecer un poco pesado el hecho de estar atento a la gasolina de tu moto y estar arreglándola cada dos por tres, pero por el contrario no es tan mal punto, ya que ésto le da más protagonismo a la moto y no es solo un simple medio de transporte; y por último, lo que sucede en la gran mayoría de sandbox, que las misiones pueden llegar a parecer un poco repetitivas si llevas mucho tiempo de juego.

    En definitiva, Days Gone me parece un gran juego de supervivencia, y creo que va a dejar huella, en el buen sentido, obviamente.    … Expand

    This game is vastly overrated!! Good graphics, characters and acting are well done, and flushed out. Does have its share of bugs and side quest can be a little repetitive but it is so much fun to play. I hate to say it the reviewers got it wrong 8/10

    It is an amazing open world game just like RDR2 & GTAV, just without the polish. My only big issue is the some bugs/glitches and the occansional tone/volume of the voice acting. I enjoyed this more than Dying Light or the Dead Islands. The new king of open world zombie games :)

    Amazing game, the graphics, story, polish and game play are all up to par for this generation, not sure what the critics are on about but I liked this game way better than Horizon Zero Dawn (which was received better) and just as much as GoW. ITS A MUST PLAY for fans of open world survival games.

    What a good game! So glad I gave this game a chance. Playing this on a PS5 at 60fps really put it to the next level for me. The story, voice acting, and music are all top notch. Highly recommend playing this game.

After three years of wait Sony Bend Studio finally delivered their first AAA project in years and the long development resulted with a quality product that I have enjoyed greatly. The open world is extreamly beautiful and despite at first feeling generic, it opens up and evolves while progressing the story, which on its own is worth experiencing Days Gone. I can't really compare Days gone with any other sony title like TLOU, it surely is narrative focused, but if you expect to receive something similar to TLOU - you are in for surprise. The game is focused on survival and its not just a statement that many games make - you REALLY will need to survive in the open world as anything that moves want of piece of your main character - Deacon St. John, who you will surely love by the time credits will roll. Sony gave Bend Studios as much freedom as they wanted - and it shows, and thats why its so different from all other famous Sony excluse titles. Surely this game has its flaws, framerate is not always stable and so far audio glitches have occurred from time to time, but these problems will most likely to be fixed, so no drama here. In the end I must say that i respect all the hard work developers have done during 5 years of development of this project and I believe everyone that own a PS4 should give this game a try. Edit: I gave this game a user score of nine, but somehow it turned 5 overnight...… Expand

    The story it's very nice and simple I love the RPG addition that you can build some stuff even upgrade your motorcycle! Music and graphics are gorgeous and will leave you with good moments in the cahos of the end of the world.

    It is a very good game, killing zombies is fun, weapons are cool, small problems here and there, story is a bit simplistic but all these does not break experience at all. Ending is positive, really like it. Don’t trust critics.

Se supone que con la nueva actualizacion hay mejor desempeño en la consola y coincido con ello. Soundtracks: muy buena coleccion de musica tanto para ambientar escenarios como en la trama directa. Historia: No se puede ser mas ingenioso, creo que despues de tener un gran catalogo de juegos de supervivencia, esta franquicia fue mas original y trata de introducir al jugador en una historia muy buena que cumple. Sin duda, muy recomendado para jugar y disfrutarse.

    Hidden gem of a game. Really enjoyed it. The story was good, post-apocalyptic world you want to come back to, bike mechanics are cool, so many crazy, adrenaline-filled moments especially when early to mid game. Excellent weapon variety and even decent stealth. If they make a sequel, I would buy it in a heart beat. My first ever Platinum ;)

    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.
