    Я считаю что если опираться на оценку поставленную тут игра недооценена. Минусов у этой игры совсем мало , это большое количество багов в начале , просадки кадров . Ну может не такой зашкаливающий градус реализма как в last of us . Игра заслуживает 9 балов .Я считаю что если опираться на оценку поставленную тут игра недооценена.

    Good game, fun to play, played it on hard first time then on survival and survival II and survival II +
    I bought it february 2020 and i dont regret at all. This game has it all, from storyline to gameplay and graphics. Probably ill play it two or three more times. The hordes are amazing addition in this game something new and refreshing from other post apocalyptic zombie games.
    9/10 for sure.

    Не идеальная игра, но очень достойная. Не плохой сюжет, байкерская романтика, есть отличный экшн эпизоды. Механика орды очень круто сделана.

    Прошёл с удовольствием.

    8.5. At its core, Days Gone is about hope and determination when everyone and everything is telling you to give up and move on, and that's what defines and drives Deacon St. John throughout a very good story that takes place in an open-world that is very diverse and fun to travel and engage in outside of its sub-par first act.

    The story starts out slow with choppy cutscenes that are too    8.5.

    The story starts out slow with choppy cutscenes that are too short to provide any substance. The Lisa storyline does a good job of defining Deacon, but the Boozer storyline does not go anywhere meaningful in a long and drawn out first act. This along with poor shooting mechanics (which doesn't make any sense since Deacon is ex-military) and having to refuel your bike so much made for an experience that for a below average experience at first......Then, the story really starts to pick up in the southern part of the map and this is when the game slowly starts to shine as upgrades to your bike and your character make the game much more bearable and the themes of the narrative start to come to light. Deacon becomes much more likable throughout the game and the strong supporting cast does an outstanding job fleshing out his character.

    There were some narrative failures such as the ending of the Ripper storyline which could've been so much more interesting as a conflict comes up is solved almost immediately and doesn't matter for the rest of the game, but overall everything else contributed to the narrative and Deacon's journey.

    The best aspect of this game is the world. The dynamic weather system along with how the freakers act depending on time of day and the current weather lead to unique gameplay scenarios unlike any other open world game. This world will really come for you and it was blast to take it on! The story benefited from this as it did a great job utilizing the world to tell its story.

    Overall, the game starts slow and stagnant but gets better as Deacon character develops. Its a shame that the gaming media set out to crucify this game. Although its not a groundbreaking narrative, its a very memorable experience with a fun and dangerous open world and a very likable main character whose journey is very inspirational.    … Expand

    The initial IGN review put me off buying this game for full price and that's the last time I'll ever go to IGN as a trusted source for reviewing games. Think I picked it up for £30 in 2020 and honestly I loved it. Not as polished as TLOU2 but the story was so much better and more original. There will never be a second one and that to me is lame :(

    I want to give this game an 8.5 but I can’t so I rounded up. It’s a great game. A bit buggy but a beautiful open world and great story. I can’t wait for the sequel.

    I love this game.
    the gameplay the soundtrack and mainly the story are all awesome and I would put the game on my top 5 personal favourite games.
    it does have the occasional frame drop or bad texture loading but that's the biggest problem it has and it's not even that bad.
    I give it a 9/10 because it can't be a perfect score if there is something to criticize.

    The game is just incredibly amazing, nice gameplay, great mechanics, voices, etc...
    Now, the story could be told better but it's too fresh and original and give the opportunity for a Part II
    Graphics passed away with this game and every mistake is now corrected so you can really enjoy the game

    Such a FUN game. Got the plat and will definitely replay it on a PS5 when I can finally get one. Gutted there might not be a second one as the game was set perfectly for a part 2.

    A good take on an open world zombie game. Riding around with the bike, exploring and scavenging is immersive and realy fun. Combat is also good and the story is a suprisingly varied, although cringy at times and kinda overstays its welcome.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Очень понравилась игра и жду вторую часть, хотя не знаю, как она может быть с этими же героями, тут сюжет законченный. Но вот с другими персонажами в такой же атмосфере, вполне.
    Все, что меня как-то зацепило в негативном плане, это поведение его жены. Учитывая флешбеки о ней, она не должна была так себя вести и ее поведение раздражало. Я даже жалела, что она выжила. Но в остальном мне все понравилось. Проработка деталей, графика, геймплей, все хорошо, игра гармонично смотрится и стоит своих денег.
    Мне кажется, что вот этой игре не хватает, это кооператива.    … Expand

    A beautiful open world game with biker flair and cool characters. And it's rather positive, considering the zombie apocalypse genre. It's a hopeful trip and the Gameplay is smooth.

    Open world zombie game? I'm in!
    It has its share of plot and pacing issues, but manages to deliver an entertaining adventure with lots to explore, an amazing soundtrack and fun characters.

The horde were a really fun mechanic, that I hope will be expanded upon in any possible sequel. The only negative for me was the performance issues, especially when the big hordes were on the screen, which caused the game to dropped in framerates but I never had a crash.
    Overall, I loved my time with Days Gone, so much so that I earnt my first platinum trophy with it. I hope that Bend Studios will make a sequel to this game, as it definitely deserved more praise than it received.    … Expand

    Everybody needs to play this rn. Great story and I love that its almost like 2 games in one. The story is always good and never feel dragged out which makes me want it to never end and it feels like it never will because its so long in a good way. Bike mechanics are amazing. Platinum the game and everything else including all hordes even tho I didnt need to do them for the platinum. HopeEverybody needs to play this rn.

    Absolutely one of the best games I've ever played! Mechanics are good, storyline is good and beautiful graphics! Other than the hordes, there could be a little more action but it was good enough to be entertaining. There BETTER BE A PART TWO(!) or I will be sad... great job devs....great job

    A truly underrated game! Visuals are stunning

    Gameplay is fluid and fun, as is the driving.

    And there is plenty to do in Oregon Story is solif, as is the voice acting and score

    Freakers are a blast to fight, especially the Horde.

    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.
