    Me encantó el juego, es muy entretenido. La sensación al enfrentarse a las hordas de zombies es genial.

    Absolutely fell in love with this game! Fantastic characters, gripping story and insanely atmospheric open world. And the technical aspect, my God... It honestly looks like a native 4k game - paired with hdr on an OLED TV is just m-i-n-d-b-l-o-w-i-n-g. Animation, especially facial expression is just state of the art stuff.

    Don’t listen to these paid tools, so far the game has been amazing. Honestly speaking, the game feels a bit rushed but the charm and the engaging open world makes you keep coming back and do a lot of cool missions. Sure it is repetitive but it’s hell rewarding

    The game is awesome. At this day I don't really understand the bad critics. It's enjoyable, realistic and fun. I'd give it a 9 because no game is perfect but it has gave me sooo many hours of fun and you can feel the hard work putted on this game. Also time to time they add patches that improve the game experience.

    Great game. Reviews are not really accurate. Personally, I would not make a decision to purchase this game based off of reviews and critics. Almost all of the performance problems in the game has been fixed with patches based off of my experience (ps4 pro)

    Gameplay: 8/10. Killing freaks is satisfying, menus are a bit clunky but work well enough. Driving is hard at first but you get the hang of it quick. Terrible human AI. Scavenging limited resources is part of the fun.

    Graphics: 8/10. Not the most detailed game in the world, but beautiful nonetheless. Character models look great, world looks good except a bit choppy in certain places.

    Sound: 9/10. Exceptional soundtrack, great voice acting apart from a few minor characters. Great sound effects.

    Story: 6/10. Generic story that has been done hundreds of times, but done effectively in this game. Not a memorable story.

    Overall: 8/10. Great game that is slightly lacking in a few forgivable aspects. Not the most memorable game in the world.

    at the start of the game there were certain technical problems, for which many gave the game low ratings. but the developers are constantly improving the game and now it looks much better than before. And the plot, gameplay, graphics and atmosphere in the game on top.

    Great game. Bit buggy in certain sections and framerate drops are the only reason it's not a ten. Good story. Deep characters. Fun gameplay. The world is amazing. Have had scares from just about getting away from a horde and it wasnt scripted just pure randomness. Really enjoyed it, even got the platinum and i don't do that often...

    I really like this game. I was a bit unsure after all the mixed reviews, but man, was I foolish. The game is a lot of fun and you have tons of things to do. Riding your bike round, upgrading it, wow, you really get into it. Killing a horde is a rush of adrenaline, oh Yeah! The ambush camps, the rippers, it is all a lot of fun. The game starts slow, but once it gets going... awesome!

    There are a few glitches but nothting that will spoil your fun, mostly it makes you laugh. i finally got my platinum and thought I should let you guys know how much fun the game is. I highly recommend if you like the post apocalyptic genre. Serious candidate for Game of the year.

    Days Gone is a great game with unfortunately a lot of technical flaws. The story is compelling and interesting and the gameplay while not perfect, is quite fun and the gunplay isn't as drastically bad as people have been saying.

    Days Gone is a great game with unfortunately a lot of technical flaws. The story is compelling and interesting and the gameplay while not perfect, is quite fun and the gunplay isn't as drastically bad as people have been saying. There is definitely some improvement needed in the gunplay but it's not terrible.

    While I did enjoy my time with this game and have given it a high rating, I unfortunately can't recommend it at full price simply due to the still present technical issues that unfortunately will never be patched. These include somewhat aggressive pop-in, constant lag issues when the game is struggling to stream assets into frame, which as a result slows everything down to a crawl and the games controls become largely unresponsive, and still present some cutscene audio and video syncing issues that does largely detract from immersion.

    This game is definitely worth buying at around half price still at the time of writing this review but I wouldn't buy it at any higher price than 50% off unless you are really lacking some engaging story driven single player games to play. For now I would suggest buying Dying Light for your zombie/story fix until this games price drops.

    I haven’t enjoyed a game this much since Red Dead Redemption 2. The way the characters interact with one another really makes you feel for them.

    The game is not as "bad" as the critics say. Though it suffers from inconsistent and bad writing in some parts, the gameplay is a pure blast and the story keeps you going, with a few really touching moments, carried by the very good soundtrack.

    Playing it was 40 hours of fun. I would recommend waiting on a sale and then buying the game, you're otherwise missing out on a really cool game

    The best game of the year. the story is great, the scenery is stunning, the hordes really scare, not to mention the motorcycle factor. Nothing could be better than riding a motorcycle at the end of the world. grade 1000

    По-моему один из лучших экшенов про зомби-апокалипсис. Хорошо проработаный мир, каждое задание интересное, сопереживаешь почти всем героям. Отличная физика байка, обожаю рассекать на нём по адищу. Единственный минус, - это баги, бывало что нужная цель (которую надо убить) застрявала в текстурах и приходилось возвращаться к контрольной точке.По-моему один из лучших экшенов про зомби-апокалипсис.

    Days Gone is an excellent survival horror game which is set in a gorgeous post-apocalyptic Oregon. I'd rate the game a weak 8/10, however, I am temporarily rating it 10/10 because its Metascore is terribly low and I think the game deserves better. If the Metascore for Days Gone ever reaches 80/100 I'll set my user rating to 8/10.

    Message for the World Press - We can decide what to buy beside your Lies.I can only confirm that - The numbers of happy Days Gone players across the world are telling us how good this game is!!!

    Отличная игра, неожиданно для меня переродилась из "корявеньких" трейлеров в игру которуя я прошёл всего лишь процентов на 35 и уже хочу переиграть чтобы увидеть этот увядающий мир, управлять байком, насладиться неторопливым сюжетом. Вся мировая пресса поливает игру грязью просто так - не нравиться игра без афро-американцов, главный герой не сильная и независимая женщина и т.д...Такого бреда начитаешься, что волосы на коже встают. В отсутствии The Last of Us 2 - эта игра мне её даже немного заменяет. Возможно с выходом TLOU2 моё мнение немного может измениться, но как самостоятельное произведение Days Gone для меня встал на голову выше Horizon и Detroit.
    Люди, если Вы любите густую атмосферу прекрасного мира, глубокую историю персонажей - берите и наслаждайтеь.

    If you can get over awful weapon handling etc. then you might enjoy it, but keep in mind that there are loads of just as good and even better games which you can play without having to struggle controling them.

    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.
