    What killed this game was the comfort of driving a bike, which is **** Also poor plot.

    Questo gioco é veramente bello. Molti si lamentano della durata ma per me é stato un piacere. Spero di vedere un sequel.

    I really enjoy the game, i like the gameplay and the graphics are awesome, the story is good.
    Id say that it can get a bit repetitivos but for me the worst parte is the perfomance

    After many patches there are not so many glitches. Performance can struggle on ps4 but still great story, great gameplay. This game was very underestimated by press, good it sales good (hope for sequel).

The cast and script are fantastic, some of the most down to earth and believable dialogue and choices I've seen in any game. The gameplay, the side missions, it's just all fresh and interesting. Most games, the side missions and collectibles become a bit of a chore but not here, everything was interesting. And obviously, the hordes are incredible. Definitely buy this game if you enjoy survival games. It's brilliant. Please give us a sequel! Expand

    This game is great. I've always been a fan of the survival horror genre and followed the trailers for this game before it was released. Admittedly, the bad reviews scared me away.

I've always been a fan of the survival horror genre and followed the trailers for this game before it was released. Admittedly, the bad reviews scared me away. Once it hit 20 dollars I ended up buying it and I wished I had bought it sooner. Like many others say, you start out really weak, weak weapons, your gas tank can't hold much, bike is not very fast, but as you progress through the game, slowly but surely you become almost a powerhouse of sorts and can speed all over, use fast travel, your weapons do much more damage... I actually thought the game was a little too easy near the end when you have more skills and better weapons. The beginning of the game is what many people don't really enjoy and I think it was necessary because it's a struggle at first as it should be, I found myself stealth killing many of the zombies and felt really tense, the more powerful you get, the less scared you are. The hordes are AMAZING. There are over 30 hordes near the end of the game, most of which are optional, but they are so much fun. Some of them are smaller but the larger ones were truly epic. You'll occasionally see bears/zombies/deer/wolves/people fighting each other. There's nothing like trying to fight off an ambush camp only to see it overrun by zombies and letting the zombies do the work for you. Game is awesome! I'd give it an 8.4 Expand

    This game is severely underrated and far exceeded my expectations. Nothing about the game itself is unique, however the execution of the game, it's gameplay, stories, survival elements and more make for one of the best PS4 exclusives I have played.

    Pretty addictive zombie game. Unfortunately the narrative is unimaginative and uninteresting, with the dialogue completely dire - even for its genre. None of the characters are likeable which leads to wanting to skip all the cut-scenes. Thankfully you can bypass most of them, but there are lots of missions where you have to walk incredibly slowly behind other characters, following themPretty addictive zombie game.

None of the characters are likeable which leads to wanting to skip all the cut-scenes. Thankfully you can bypass most of them, but there are lots of missions where you have to walk incredibly slowly behind other characters, following them at a frustrating snail's pace, as they chat absolute sh*te.

    There were lots of bugs/glitches but with the recent updates they less fustrating.

    Another issue is the upgrades don't really get interesting until over halfway into the game, and by the end they come thick and fast - which is too late.

    Overall:
    Graphics are good, the shooting is fun and headshots are satisfying. The motorcycle riding is pretty realistic, and the engines sound great. It's the overall pretentiousness, bugs and glitches and lack of engaging plot which let the game down.

    A great mix of Last of Us, Dead Rising and Far Cry. Small technical issues. Good map not too big. Recommendation to everyone. Hordes are fun to tackle.

    Yes it has its problems but it's also a lot of fun. The art snobs of the gaming world seem to have forgotten that's what games are about. Have fun playing the game and look for your art in a museum.

    Don't listen to critics.
    One of the best game 2019.
    Beautiful world. Great graphic and sound. Dragged but you don't want to leave this game especially if you love zombie game. Satisfy if you can kill all the large zombie. Story wise is good.

    Bought this due to reviews but I was not happy with the game. First the game info told me that it was a large open world game but when you are outside the area you get the message that you are out of the active game area.

Loading times are high sometimes huge for nowadays games. Even when you want to start the last session it seems the game has to load the entire scene. The movement is not as other "real" open world games such as FarCry and/or Just Cause. The surroundings are okay but that's all. Not the really get to feel in a real-like world. Like some glue is pored over the game. For me a waste of money. Absolutely not as expected and definitely not as advertised. Expand

    I have not yet completed the story, but I've put a good bit of time in, do with that, what you may. I quite enjoy this game. The slogging through the beginning is rough but much more naturalistic than John Rambo mowing down hordes with a bow and arrow.

    It may be petty, but there are only 2 things holding this back from me giving it a 10, First, I wanna chop out my drifter bike, literally every other bike in the game has ape hangers, why not Deek? Secondly, I am a run and gunner and that makes this game a challenge for me.

    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.
