    this is my first review anywhere and i made an account to rate this game. Unfortunately I played it before they released an update on the bugs, i still enjoyed this immensely. Thank you for this and the music oh the music...loved yesterday. Thank you everyone in the team.

    All I have to say is .. Underrated!!!!! This game has one of the best story lines in my opinion. I bought this game day one and I have beaten it 3 times and I'm ready for the fourth play through! Let's go Days Gone 2 !! Why aren't you out already ??

    This is a good game. Very beautifully designed location. The main character you believe. But long downloads and bugs spoiled the impression of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Days Gone is the best open world to have fun after finishing the main campaign. Cleaning up hordes is my hobby now.
    The game had technical problems on launch day, but after the patches is another game. It is not a 10/10 game, but it is certainly a 9/10.
    The story is good, everything is good or very good. The only penalties are an irrelevant mission alongside finishing the game, the NPCs' nonexistent facial expressions, and the lack of an epic fight with the final boss.    … Expand

About the characters I can say that I loved the majority, obviously our protagonist Deek, a MC different from the others with problems of rabies and suicidal tendencies, and his best friend Bozzer form a great duo, besides Rikki who is a good person too. it's good but not so much on the bike, the graphics are very beautiful and the soundtrack is warm but when I played the soldier eye music I confess that I loved it. which the game tries to innovate in the genre as used as the zombie. With all this I can say that it is a good game.… Expand

    I really enjoyed this game! The story was subtle and so well told. You were encouraged to avoid fast traveling because the story was told largely through periods of travel on your bike. The bike mechanics were very fun and the pace of the game was just right. However, it did have a slow start.

    Was not expecting much from all the hate, but ended up loving the game.

    8/10 for me

    + story is really interesting overall
    + you can feel TWD atmosphere
    + game length - I expected 1/4 of what I got. Played it for 2 weeks, could not put it down
    + many skills to level up
    + free choice to fight using fore weapons or melee
    + bike customisation
    + side quests are really enjoying. There are like 4-5 categories, but they are mixed in such a way, that they do not become boring. Completed (what is rare for me) all side-quests, was not bored
    + no paid DLC, every new content (challenges, new game +) is included

    - some small bugs, rare now after all patches
    - once levelled up to max (melee combat skills), you can take out almost everyone with melee custom weapon (Normal difficulty). Feels a bit overpowered
    - mid-game story does not always make sense, but still is acceptable

    Overall very pleasant surprise for me, I would definitely recommend to give it a try, especially now after all the patches. Initially it was a 6, 7 /10 for me, but the game really grows on you after 10-15+h in. Finally a solid 8/10 or maybe even 9/10, depending on how much you dig into the post apo zombie world    … Expand

    I almost didn't play this game because of the reviews early on. Boy am I glad I didn't listen to them. Are you kidding me. Did you actually play the game. This is a game you have to put in the time and let the story unfold. Once you do it'll have you hooked. This is a game that will hopefully be appreciated over time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So while i have a lot to say about this game, there's 3 things this game does well 1. Open-world: while I personally think The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild is a masterpiece and does Open-world games justice, Days Gone also does that with an Expansive open-world and with lots of stuff to do, while it doesn't allow you to enter its second area of the game which is like almost as big as Horizon Zero Dawns map, it still holds up to the amount you can do at the start, while its side quest maybe tedious or may feel hollow at the start, you do get rewarded with either weapons or cosmetic for your bike making your time not wasted.

    2. The soundtrack: Days Gone is one of the many games that has personally made impact on me and its soundtrack is masterful, it fits in well in the game and it gives the right tension at the moments of the story it needs to, it also makes the story impact even more when you hear it, making you feel the characters emotions and reasons behind what they do without explaining yet.

    3. The story: Days Gone made clap at the end, i was so happy with its ending, and even after how it started to end it brought back many thoughts to my mind and it made feel more than just a connection to the character of Deacon St. John but as if i had been through that journey with him at his side like boozer, and seen every single inch of what he did and see the hardships he went through to get to his ultimate goal. Days gone is a great game, it told a story that even I consider to even top The Last Of Us, while that a very big statement, i believe Days gone did a better job at giving us a meaningful story and keeping it from start to finish.    … Expand

    The Story has his flaws, like it will feel unrefined in places, it could have definitely used some tightening in places.

    Some minor gribes:
    -The loading screens will take you out of the moment in game just waiting for the cutscene to get back to gameplay.
    -I would have loved a crafting system in a different menu as the directional pad seemed to rebel against me whenever I tried to select something.

    But it's honestly good fun and I would love to see where the studio takes this franchise.    … Expand

    One nuance in the game with the drawdown of frames and non-loading textures, but this is a minus rather in the inexperience of the developers, which I can easily forgive. I hope that Days gone 2 will not take long to wait.

    The reviews are so so disappointing for this amazing game.
    Maybe that is what happens when you do not pay them money as they did for Last of Us 2.
    The story is better, they do not butcher your favorite characters, graphics are almost the same.
    The only thing that I can point out is that this game is way too powerful for the PS4.
    I hope there will be a Days Gone 2 on the PS5!

    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.
