    Muito bom, goto de jogos com a temática de apocalipse, gráficos bonitos, rende muitas horas de gameplay porque é um jogo bem longo, e é claro que o melhor é matar as hordas uma por uma.

    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!

    The best action adventure zombie game along with last of us 1.i had fun playing this as i did the last of us part 1.better than dying light in terms of gameplay.story is good and will keep you hooked,the survival aspect and bike riding is also a welcome addition.doesn't understand why the critic didn't like it.while the fans dig it.well what matter most is the player imo.

    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

    Days Gone is a game that even though it doesnt inovate that much, its excellent in most departments. One of the few ope world games that actually made me want to seek the side content.

    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

Давайте разбираться. За основу возьмём мою выдержку из рецензии 2015 года по The Order 1886. "При этом сюжет подаётся "скомкано", что на первый взгляд покажется многим халтурой, но если вдуматься более развёрнутое повествование перетекло бы в нечто нудное, а посему хочется сказать, что краткость - сестра таланта...". И можно было бы запихнуть этот обзор полностью, как было с паучком в своё время, но давайте ограничемся мыслью, что "Жизнь После" - это вывернутый наизнанку Орден 1886.… Expand

    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.

    Realmente me gustó mucho este juego la historia es entretenida nada extraordinario pero buena, la jugabilidad me pareció bien al principio sufres un poco con la moto pero confirmé avanzas te acostumbrás, lo único malo que le veo al juego son algunos Bugs o glitches que se pueden llegar a encontrar. Realmente creo que vale la pena jugarlo.

    Days gone really took me by surprise.
    Even though I'm not a big fan of open wold games in general, this one managed to pull me in and keep me hooked. I found the story compelling and the characters really likable.
    I couldn't stop playing until I got the platinum.

I personally think they didn't play the game nor understand the story that it was telling however the game now is better on ps5 with 4k at 60fps. Bugs are fixed that I've seen, the game is gorgeous and the weather system is something that alot of ps exclusives can learn from this game. Gameplay is abit clunky, crafting system is a typical crafting nothing to hard to understand. Soundtrack is great and fits with the tone of the games setting. Story is a drama of a bikers survival and mourning his wife. The game has a system where you can upgrade your bike by doing bounties, side missions even sell plants, meat and freaker parts. Each settlement will have this benefits of weapons or upgrading your bike. I recommend upgrading your bike start of the game. Weapons are not important early. My review is an 8 due to great settings, crafting and story however the game can be repetitive with gas getting low, need to find gas stations or canisters to refuel your bike. Unfair snipers knocking you off your bike, and clunky combat makes the experience little difficult however it's manageable and can still be fun while not being ambush by hoardes of freakers or human and wolves etc. Fast travel is present however you have to clear freaker nests to get have a path to fast travel. My score is an 8.… Expand

    All these positive reviews are fake, the developer must've paid tons of money for positive reviews. This game is pure **** nothing good about it. Sony even gave it for free on PS plus and cancelled its sequel because its just a bad game, empty experience, and a waste of time

    Zombies, here we go again. Days Gone is a game of adventure for the most part, and while the narrative can seem faint in depth, it is still an enjoyable experience. Deacon St. John is a well presented character in this world. A ruff necked biker with a die hard intent on finding that lost love.

A ruff necked biker with a die hard intent on finding that lost love. In all though, to really put this game into its own, you have to turn attention to its world.

    The forested dirt tracks and run down highways are a crisp real life setting. The feeling of a spaced environment with nooks and crannies, builds on the exploration and mechanical prowess. Whether you’re burning out the nests, or tagging on an upgrade to your bike, the game doesn’t deviate from its solid path.

    I will admit, the story was not so captivating as I would have hoped for. The splitting narratives were more chaotic than branching. Though the hoards and stragglers of zombified carcasses, blended with good traversal and exploration made up for it.

    Days Gone is not the goliath among zombie games, but it is a solid addition. In a story narrative about the walking dead, it can be hard to find a footing among the many others that have claimed that title. Days Gone does find a footing in and among them, but it is far from the top so to speak.    … Expand

    One of the best games I've played for a long time. Great graphics, amazing open world, excellent mechanics, and I could relate to the characters and the story. These are all the factors that make a game great and Days Gone has them all. Some games become a chore to finish. Days Gone made me want to keep playing every day. Highly recommended.

    Days Gone is one of the few games I couldn't possibly wait to play again and continue the story in the immersive open-world. Unlike in The Last of Us (still don't get why reviewers compare these games so much, they're nothing alike) you can get on your bike, travel through the beautiful world, do side-quests and deal with more than 3 enemies at once!

Now with that said here's my opinion on the game, it's a great game it some minor flaws that deserves a sequel, the story is interesting graphics are decent, game play hits and misses in some ways, sound could be better.

    Story: It's good it starts of a bit slow but the more u play the more u get intrigued by it acting is good in general and the main character is well written but could be less of a dick for no reason sometimes.

    Graphics:Probably my biggest problem with the game, the more u play Days Gone the less bether they become textures stop loading in making everything look like its smothered in vaseline, its more noticeable especially in cutscenes were it just becomes painful so see chartres with only half of the textures loaded, i also noticed this happening more often in long sessions of the game making me believe that the reason this happens is probably because of ram overload for to many ram driven tasks.
    Sound: The bike sounds good actulay to good since its noise has hell making u wonder why on earth would u choose to ride a bike in a world where zombies are attracted to loud noises, besides that the radio chatter gets annoying, there u are stealth killing enemies hiding in bushes trying to make has little noise has you can just for a npc to call out your name in the radio, making the protagonist scream from the top of his longs some dialogue that is not even attached to the mission your doing, funny part is enemies don't even care, this breaks immersion are reminds u that u are playing a game and real world logic doesn't apply here kinda like wen in last of us Ellie would just run around in from of enemies and they wouldn't even blink.

    Gameplay: It's good not groundbreaking but its does its job, the only thing that sticks out to me is the gun play it's a bit dumb having to point the gun leaving cover and the wait for your crosshair to slowly get smaller so that u can land and accurate headshot is counter intuitive to what most games do were the more u shoot the less accurate it becomes here is inaccurate all the time unless u wait or just use the focus mode, but if u use the shotgun or the heavy machine gun this issues don't really apply, that's what i did for most of the game just skip rifles no point in thouse.    … Expand

It is somehow uninspired and boring, while having some great highs and truly fun moments. I was struggling to give this game a solid 7, and after 100 percenting it i think ive changed my mind and decided to give it a 6. Lets start with the story. Days gone is an emotionally bland and mostly boring tale of unlikeable characters being in predictable and often forced situations that they dont react convincingly to whatsoever. Which is a real shame, as days gone desperately tries to tell not one, but several stories throughout its duration, all of which end up having the same issues. If you can look past bad writing, and pathetic characters with an overall uninteresting plot, what you get is a fine open world with some half assed mechanics that ultimately come together to make for a mediocre experience. It feels like originally the devs were going with a survival game, but quickly gave up on that idea as the game right now has little consequence for not having fuel or crafting items, both of which the game considers essential. Some underdeveloped mechanics include, the fuel system, hunting, stealth and bounty systems. Alright then, so after that what still allows this game to get a 6? Well thats just it, all parts of this game are disappointingly mediocre. Not atrocious, (apart from maybe the story and characters), not great. Hordes are a fun mechanic that can feel cinematic and fun, although never coming near to as good as they looked at the e3 trailer that's for sure. Exploration works fine, and you get a typical if not slightly above average open world experience to go with it. I think this game has some unique features at the very least, and im sure its a fun switch your brain off type ordeal, but after 100 percenting the thing i find it hard to recommend it to you.… Expand

    3) There is a lot of bullet sponging.
    4) Each camp set up except Wizard Island and Diamond Lake are set up horribly. This is just me being paranoid and hypothetically thinking if this were a real life scenario, but there are too many weak points at the camps. Not a big deal though.
    5) There is no ability to swim so if you find yourself in deep water good luck surviving.
    6) Historical monuments seem pointless.
    7) What would be cool is if you could set up your own camp/upgrade other camps, but maybe in Days Gone 2.

    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.
