    I loved this game!

    I don't know what kind of (maybe political) agenda all these game magazine outlets that give it a low score are following, but the game is great in so many ways. Great graphics, great story, fun gameplay, always something to do, a great soundtrack and a wonderful atmosphere. The game runs stable (never had any crashes, although i jumped in a couple of updates later).    I loved this game!

    Loading times are pretty long and you can tell that some things are maybe not that polished like in some other games - that's why I'll give it only a score of 9 instead of 10.
    But these issues are nothing in comparison how great the game really is.

    A game I really enjoyed, that fits great into a almost perfect line of PS4-exclusives!    … Expand

    Except for constant bugs and some moments of less than stellar pacing, I've loved playing Days Gone and think it is a much better game than others let on. Perhaps getting it after the rash of updates proved a much more satisfying experience for me, but I loved the characters, aesthetic, and the mythology of the game.

It isn't perfect, but man is it fun.… Expand

    I'm of two minds on this game. On one hand, Deacon, Boozer, Sarah, and a few of the more prominent characters were superbly acted and written- but the other minor characters were easily forgotten and paper-thin. NPCs in other series (Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, etc) have done better at putting personalities into their minor characters.

    Likewise, the story wasn't as coherent or linear as    I'm of two minds on this game.

NPCs in other series (Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, etc) have done better at putting personalities into their minor characters.

    Likewise, the story wasn't as coherent or linear as I would have liked. It got to be where I really only paid enough attention to see what would happen to Deacon, Boozer, and Sarah- not necessarily anything else that was going on, because a lot of it isn't super relevant to the plot.

    The gameplay was pretty fun- fighting hordes is a hell of a challenge and I enjoyed that immensely. The game makes ammo and such available but not SUPER available, so it's not too easy.

    By far, my major complaint about this game was the glitching. Dear God, the glitching. I pre-ordered this, so this was a day-one copy. And I swear I have NEVER played a game first-day that was as horrendously glitchy as this game. A lot of freezing, a lot of game-crashes, and a lot of instances where during cutscenes certain things would go blurry (Deacon and Boozer's tattoos, for instance, would get incredibly blurry where before they'd been clear and detailed; this was jarring because the games graphics were beautiful most of the time).

    Not a bad game, and I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel I assume is coming, but they REALLY need to make sure the game copies they're sending out are cleaner than this one.    … Expand

    Don't hear all the bad **** review about the game yes it has bugs but most of them are fixed the only problem I had with this gam ewad the pacibg the first half of it but honestly the ride was worth while. This game got me back to gaming again. But awhile since I've sit down and play a play a narrative game such as this. I love it 10 out of 10 for me based on gaming and story

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is really good and before it got released I was waiting for this game to be out for a while, I was probably waiting for a few years. I even put a background from the game to my tablet lol, in case u were wondering yes I do have a phone too but, that's off topic............

    So, yeah everything so far about this game is really good blah blah blah u get the idea, love to splatter zombie brains everywhere, but the crafting stuff yeah.....not my idea of fun but hey.....................whatever, so that's why I give it a 9/10 rating ohhh one more thing that whole dialogue thing that u promised yup that's the other reason why I give it a 9/10 rating so take that lmao.

    For a game I have not beaten yet it is truely a good game, I have heard that this game is a long one too so, yeah I am expecting more to come when I play this game

    HAPPY GAMING!!!!    … Expand

    The game is great and very fun to play. Initially the game was boring and generic, but after 10 hours I was hooked and loving it. Defeat the hordes is the best part, they are massive and a real challenge. The biggest problem is that you will just have power to defeat the hordes very late in the Game.

    Yes the game has a few bugs but so does other games. Nobody ever tries to downplay gta 5 or red dead 2 even though there are bugs in those games as well.

    Но ставлю 10 потому что феменизм и расизм в адрес белых от журналистов так называемых, просто уже задолбал. Да и к тому же, многие из них ее даже не прошли, видимо денег не занесли вот и начали поливать все разом игру.    Игра хорошая. На 8.

    DAYS GONE is the defenition what it could have been great but its just a "OK" game, Lazy combat mechanics, very slow, full os fps drop, and bugs. the top tier here is the landscapes.

    I made an account just to add my rating since I, like many other users, felt like the critics blew this game out of proportion.

    It takes some time for it to get going, but once it does, it's worth every second.

    It is great game with perfect story. If you like zombie horde games it is for you. There is only few fps drops and after updates it is fixed somehow. I will advice you to play this game.

    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.
