    Gioco fantastico, non capisco perchè stia prendendo voti così bassi. L'atmosfera è egregia, i suoni e le musiche eccezionali. Anche la storia è ben scritta. sono a 20 ore di gioco e non mi riesco a staccare. gli unici difetti sono un frame rate un po instabile e troppi stacchi tra gameplay e video. Per il resto è un ottimo gioco.

    VOTO 9

    WELL DONE Bend Studio!!!

    Bugs and the occasional freeze aside, I had a genuine good time playing through the game. It opens with a relative weak first act, but manages to suck you in as soon as you get to the third Zone (the game starts with two accessible).

    The open world is beautifully designed and filled with threats of all kind. Especially at night, when the Zombies get stronger, random events or miscalculations can catch you on the wrong foot easily. Earlier on in my playthrough I had overestimated my fuel reserves and was stranded near a Graveyard at night in the rain. I sneak-stabbed my way through some random stragglers to an old shack on the far side of the graveyard and luckily found a Fuel Canister there, only to notice that a horde had cut off the way back to my empty bike. Thus an intense 15 minute long Journey back began. I ended up having more "fun" with this, than the actual mission I was originally heading towards. The open world with its hordes and the survival aspect of the game are, unlike me, great at writing stories like this.
    If you liked "The Last of Us" and hated the fact that there was no open world, this is definitely the game i would recommend to you.    … Expand

Riding around on the motorcycle is a freaking blast. I rarely fast travel because driving the motorcycle is too much fun and there's always gas to fill up your tank. It's more fun than riding a horse and not as dull as driving a car around. Brilliant idea to use a motorcycle for travel.
    I always get tense when I face a horde of zombies - I haven't felt that way playing a game in a long time. And you always feel so accomplished when you've killed them all.
    The story is awesome and has me hooked. Each time I finish a mission I'm always looking forward to starting the next one.
    The scenery blows my mind. I love that this takes place in the northwest because I feel like not many games choose this type of scenery. So fun to drive around an experience the world.

    The story is not narrated chronologically and hence may feel a little disjointed. Having said that I really enjoyed the story and it made me care for the two main characters of this game.

    Graphics wise, this game is stunning. Due to the limitation of budget and team size, some aspects of the game are not at the highest level i.e. polygon count, skin texture, etc. , but where it shines it the lighting department. It has a brilliant weather system.

    Gameplay wise, the enemy AI is a but weak but it being an open world game with so many enemies, killing the freaks was a fun experience. The shooting is a bit off in the beginning but as we progress, it gets better.

    Overall I really enjoyed this game and I would recommend this to all the gamers who enjoy Sony Games. It might not be up there with the likes of GOW, Spiderman, Horizon, TLOU, Uncharted, etc. , but it holds it's own in many aspects.

    + melee weapons feeling
    + progression system

    - LOTS of frame drops (im a 144hz 1080ti PC gamer and during the first hours was a pain to play at 29fps, but its the consoles world).
    - Loading times, even 1 second-pitch-to-black just to be in the same point but playing.
    - Not able to customize Deacon.
    - Boring storytelling at the first 5 hours of gameplay.
    - shooting mechanic when enemies are close yo you.

    Days Gone is the best open-world zombie adventure game. Superb zombie-slaying combat and enjoyable motorcycle gameplay are integrated perfectly with a well-paced story. But the game’s major highlights are the terrifying zombie hordes which are unlike anything seen in a videogame so far.

Os cuidados que vc tem que ter com a moto, pegar sucata p poder consertar os danos que a motoca leva, combustível p não ficar na mão no meio do caminho ou fugindo de uma treta.

    Me parece lamentable que la prensa tenga sus tendencias al analizar videojuegos. Es evidente que ante sagas consagradas, o IPs de estudios con prestigio la prensa suele doblar las manitas. Days Gone a pesar de ser una marca de PlayStation, viene de un estudio que ha estado congelado alrededor de 15, 20 años. Su ultimo gran juego(saga) fue el mítico Syphon Filter. Parece que a ellos no les tiembla la mano a la hora de crucificar y criticar sin tapujos a IPs nuevas de estudios irrelevantes o poco consolidados, parece que ahí no tienen reparo haciendo sus criticas. Bueno para mi el juego es de 9.0 y mi argumentación es la siguiente: La jugabilidad es de lo mejor, su combate melee me parece excelso y muy satisfactorio, las animaciones son bastante variadas y llamativas. Su gunplay es aceptable, los viajes rapidos tienen una mecanica muy chula que consiste en despejar las zonas de nidos y descubrir los puntos de viaje rapido, ademas tienen un costo de gasolina y transcurre el tiempo virtual. El looteo no es agobiante, los recursos son frecuentes y no es necesario recolectarlos seguido excepto cuando se han tenido confrontaciones intensas. La gasolina lo mismo, no es agobiante encontrarla y los galones son frecuentes y su contenido es ilimitado. La historia a expensas de que no he terminado la historia a mi la trama me ha parecido bastante interesante y con buen tono, nuestro personaje Deacon me parece bastante bueno y no es apático como algunos analistas lo han señalado. Es mas hasta las misiones secundaria me parecen interesantes aunque tengan poca relación con la trama principal. Bugs he notado pocos y no me rompen la experiencia de juego para nada, tal vez lo mas molesto sean las bajadas de frames en motocicleta, y la IA que en ocasiones deja algo que desear pero solamente a mi parecer en el comportamiento de los enemigos humanos, la de los freakers me parece bastante buena y bien representada. En fin, para mi este juego es redondo y super divertido de jugar, aunado de que al parecer tiene una trama solida y con un muy buen tono. He jugado todos los grandes exclusivos de PS4 y Days Gones es el titulo que mas me ha divertido de todos. De hecho me ha gustado mas que un juego que también me fascino y que fue RDR2.    … Expand

    Days gone shows a compeling story with great game mechanics, its important to consider that this is the first time that bend studios makes a triple AAA game and with 30 hours in, i can assure you that this game really shows a grounded vision and a lot of detail in the execution. This game really grows on you as you play along, at first you might feel that the game is like a jack of all trades but really doesnt elevate itself in a particular direction, eventually the game starts to get more and more interesting. At first deacon looked like your generic badass angry dude but as the game goes on, the protagonist grows in depth and you start to learn the layers that exist within deacon and also the other caracters. This is a human story and as you progress you start to get more and more invested in the characters and the world, this takes me into the world, its amazing, filled with great detail, incredible weather system and real gameplay changes depending on the time of day and the weather itself. For me the world is completely inmersive and has this funny thing that gives this feeling of mystery and suspense that makes exploring really fun and engaging.
    The gameplay is very good aswell, i personally like the shooting mechanics because they feel responsive but there is this weight to it that makes you think about your shots and gives a realistic sense of danger, of course you have focus and does make the shooting a bit easier. The stealth is solid with range and meele options and the traversal with the bike is really something else. By something else i mean that the bike starts feeling a bit unresponsive and sluggish at times, but that is because you have a terrible bike at the begining. The cool thing is experiencing changes with every upgrade you put into your bike and you end up with a great bike that controls really smoothly. That feeling of growing and improvement really does extend to the whole game.
    I think its important for everyone that likes the genre to try this types of games, fresh ideas that are not perfect at the start but set the vision for the future. I believe a lot in this game and you can really see the detail and hard work that the studio put into this product.
    I give this game an 8.7 because of some optimization problems and frame rate issues. This game deserves a try if you like open world adventure and zombies(Freakers) and for me, despite not being perfect, days gone is a fantastic experience and a game with a lot of heart.    … Expand

Great weapon variety, giving the player the choice of melee, ranged, or stealth, allows for some interesting confrontations as you move tree to tree avoiding a sniper because you chose to bring a shotgun with you or simply shooting him with your own sniper from afar.

    Some pretty heavy technical issues are the only thing that doesn't get this game a 10. From constant pop-in to textures not loading sometimes meaning your death as you careen head first into a boulder at full speed. The worst offender being that constant, and I mean constant, FPS drops when riding the bike anywhere near a camp or sometimes in the middle of nowhere. Patches have helped this issue some, but it's still an issue that can plague one PS4 and not another whether it be a base model or a Pro version.

    All in all I highly recommend this game if you want some good old fashioned zombie killing coupled with good story telling and an interesting writing style that seems to make all the characters a little more real.    … 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.
