    Comencé a jugarlo, con las expectativas muy bajas, debido a sus críticas, pero la verdad es que desde el primer momento hasta el final, no paré de disfrutarlo, como fan de la temática zombi, la jugabilidad y su historia me encantó salvo algunos detalles como la IA de los enemigos y algunas situaciones que caen en lo repetitivo, me sigue pareciendo un gran videojuego.

    I have lots of fun with this game, fight against horders of Zombies its outstanding ande well, I play hours and hours without see the time pass, and have lots of funs, Just dont deserve 10 cause of bugs and the slow in history progress, with some boring and useless missions, but it's one of the better games of 2019

    One of the best zombie game what i had played, great story, characters and soundtrack. Very nice motorbike feeling when you ride through Oregon apocalyptic world. When hord freakers is coming for you do you feel adrenaline in your veins.

    At first you don’t like it but after a while when you relate to the atmosphere (which is the most inportant thing in every game, tv show or movie) you end up liking this. Everything get better even the visuals and story. Also the gameplay will make sense after a while and the post apocalypse theme kicks. It is not perfect but one of the “must-play”s.

    The story is first class, Bravo. The open world is amazing and the bike is incredible. Love the upgrades. The horde's scare the hell out of me. ;)

    Days gone is not the game that the metascore says it is. Days gone is so much more.

    The game is great. Although, while playing, I was annoyed a lot. Monotonous missions especially infuriated. But after the end of the game, all the negative was gone. And from the game there were only pleasant impressions.
    The game is beautiful, the main characters are interesting. And the game world is pretty lively and slick. Most of all, of course, we were pleased with the skirmishes

    Maybe it doesn't have a plot like the last of us and not all decisions made in this game are perfect....but it was worth nearly every second of playing. The story has many twists and is not always easy to predict beforehand. Pair this up with a decent gameplay and a superb looking openworld and also with more than a dozen of remarkable characters and you will have a goot time playing this.

    I usually don't like these kind of games, but that is really well made, in my point of view. I just switched to PS4 and boy, these exclusives are so nice compared to the Xbox ones. Gameplay is fluid, the story (not all done) has rich characters and is exciting. For me, this is the RDR2 of all post apocalyptic games i've played so far. (I have not played L4D yet..)

    One of the best game of 2019. Loved the story! Yeah it had some bugs but patches resolved most of them! Also localization in Italian rocks!

    Let me start by saying this game is underrated. This is not a zombie game, sure there are alot of zombies,but, the story doesn't make you feel like you are playing a zombie game. Like every game this has its own flaws too. But the postive weights over those flaws.

    Amazing game, screw anyone that says it's just an average game. Hope there's a Days gone 2.

    Por fin pude acabar el juego y mi conclusión final es que es un titulo que merece la pena. Tanto su gameplay, banda sonora y historia son buenas al fin acabo. Otras cosas que me impresiona es que cada cierto tiempo siguen agregando cosas y ampliando la vida útil del mismo tales como los desafíos y nuevos modos de dificultad.
    Claro esta que no esta a la altura de The Last of Us pero

    Claro esta que no esta a la altura de The Last of Us pero tampoco es una completa basura, como único inconveniente es su caídas de fps en lugares concretos pero que no perjudican a la experiencia del juego, como no puedo poner una nota especifica acá, en mi opinión seria un 8.7 / 10. Recomendado seguro.

    ¡Maravilloso! La verdad es que es un exelente juego, no se dejen llevar por las críticas de canales mediocres ya que es solo una opinión personal como la de cualquier otra persona. Es mejor darle una oportunidad y hacer tu propia experiencia al jigarlo, no por la de un hater que te hizo ver. Le pongo 9 ya que el tema de Bugs y bajones de fps es algo frustrante, pero actualiza el juego y¡Maravilloso!

    Yo no lo compraba por las criticas tan fuertes que habia recibido el juego, pero lo hice y me lleve una grata sorpresa. Es cierto que aun quedan algunos bugs pero nada que no haya visto en algun otro juego. La historia empieza lenta pero poco a poco va agarrando ritmo y cierra muy bien. Tambien es cierto que hay misiones repetitivas pero a mi parecer son divertidas. Muy buen juego, lo recomiendo.

    Game is far from perfect but way better than what all the official reviews say. Story is awesome and gameplay is even better... The feeling I got when I killed my first horde was amazing

    This is a really good game, with a few minor letdowns. Story is good and realistic, music is fitting, gameplay is balanced and more or less lasts well the whole game. Hordes is really fun to kill. It's too shame that they're refusing to make a sequel, that game deserves it, and I really look forward to see it.

    I thought i was tired of zombie games but this game is amazing. I just started playing it december 22nd 2019 so most of the bugs have been fixed. The 1 critique i have is that i wish you can fight the horde earlier in the campaign since thats the main draw of the game

    Good double A with a lot of potential and for me way much better than the last of us

    Great game, very fun to play. If you like post-apocalipt open world game with a lot of zombies to kill, you must play it!

    Politics in the Video Game industry. That's why this game got so low of a critical review. I'm about 30h in and loving it. Some frame rate drops while on the bike, but aside from that it's solid. The story is compelling, and the world just feels alive. Great game.

    Absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. The gameplay, the story writing, the characters and music was amazing. This game was done DIRTY by IGN and other gaming sites and deserved a much better score. This is a highly underrated game but so glad I got it. Can't wait for a sequel!

    I don’t understand why the media gave such a low marks on this game, I love the story , the graphic is fantastic, the gun play isn’t the call of duty type , but it is more slow pace and realistic. People should really buy the game and support a good studio so that they can continue to product the next good game for us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, this is my first review ever of anything really, and i just want to say that this game has knocked it out of the park.
    The story behind how these zombies came to be and their use of nests and it all tying to the games mechanic is just so riveting, even the character's themselves.
    PRO's:
    - Great gun play
    - Great story
    - Awesome character's and their progression through out the gameplay
    - Mission's in this game are some of the best i've expirianced in a long time.
    - You can make your own cool ass bike ;)
    - Zombie hordes finally.
    CON's:
    - Not much choice in where the story can go, and how you the main character can influance other characters within the story itself beyound what is scripted.
    - Enemy AI doesnt feel as responsive sometimes, and leaves things to be desired.
    - Skizzo, backstabbing son of a gun.

    Excellent story and great gameplay. It does have some bugs, but nothing to diminish the incredible experience. I strongly recommend.

    I play games but never review them, personally. But after hearing this one had some poor reception, I had to speak up (and it seems like others have, too). Let's be clear -- I didn't even personally play this game. It's so good, I just watched my bf play it for hours on end, engulfed in the story as if I was binging a series, invested in the lives of the characters, begging him to playI play games but never review them, personally.

There are elements in this game that I've never personally seen before, and the way they mix the cinematic and audio elements with gameplay at times is both heart-wrenchingly beautiful and immensely successful in further investing you in the story. I was truly sad to see it end.

    If you enjoy story-driven games, this is a must-play.

    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.
