    This game takes the zombie genre and adds some interesting elements to it. Overall the game has a good story and nice overall gameplay with the bike being one of the best things about the game. However repitative side missions and FPS issues are a set back.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Compared to other games from Sony, Days Gone felt like a let down. Sure the world feels big but its also very empty. Many of the characters are just not likable, make poor choices and lack backstory overal. For example the person "Jack" is apparantly an very important character for Deacon, however we never see him at all in the entire story. Where do the rippers come from? Why are they cutting themselfs? How did the virus spread so far so fast? Why didn't the govermant do anything? I mean if deacon can kill 300 zombies on his bike, shouldnt a tank be able to do alot more? Nothing makes sense. The main bad guy never tells his reasons for trying to murder other camps.

    The only thing that I do like in the game is the one horde battle which is shown in the trailer. However the ps4 has a lot of trouble to proces all that action, which causes the horde to stop moving at all. Overal I am disapointed with what I got.

    Absolutley lovely game (Last of us meets Mad Max).
    Impressive nature and lighting, beautiful and convincing world, decent storytelling and characters. Big love to developers for the work they have done.

    Got some issue, mostly graphic. But overall it is a very good game, definitely a 8, but I gave it a 9 just to boost the score up. Can't believe GameSpot gave Days Gone a 5 and gave Assassin's Creed Odyssey an 8. I love Origins but can not stand Odyssey for 5 hours, and I play Days Gone for more than 10 hours and it still suck me in.

    It might not do much in the form of originality, but it's a solid game. The only criticism I have is that it could have had a bit more polish. If you're on the fence then and you enjoy zombies and bikers then I highly recommend it.

    Personally, I think the critics are nuts to rate this game so poorly. I understand the gripes with its glitches, but now that it's been updated (almost every day by the devs for that matter) I have no issues. Maybe 1 or 2 minor glitches here and there.

Where do I begin. The story is investing, the characters are believable and give great performances, the environment is amazing, the gunplay feel good (hard at first, but better equipment and skills make the gunplay improve vastly as you play) and there are many different activities and random occurrences in the world. On top of that, halfway through the game I found out there are way more weapons than I thought. No matter your playstyle there is a setup for you. So excited to keep playing and I hope this convinces someone to pick it up! It's great, do it! Its GTA meets Last of Us.. nothing has the emotion and story of the Last of Us, but this game still does many things right. Oh, and it's scary. Great soundtrack for those scares. Expand

    The story is not narrated chronologically and hence may feel a little disjointed. Having said that I really enjoyed the story and it made me care for the two main characters of this game.

    Graphics wise, this game is stunning. Due to the limitation of budget and team size, some aspects of the game are not at the highest level i.e. polygon count, skin texture, etc. , but where it shines it the lighting department. It has a brilliant weather system.

    Gameplay wise, the enemy AI is a but weak but it being an open world game with so many enemies, killing the freaks was a fun experience. The shooting is a bit off in the beginning but as we progress, it gets better.

    Overall I really enjoyed this game and I would recommend this to all the gamers who enjoy Sony Games. It might not be up there with the likes of GOW, Spiderman, Horizon, TLOU, Uncharted, etc. , but it holds it's own in many aspects.

    Wow, the critics really got it wrong with this one.. held off buying initially, but after it went on sale for $40 I decided to give it a chance. About 10 hours in, and loving it..wish I would have gotten it sooner.

    Took awhile to get into it. Like the story and the playability. When I had to fight a horde it got real intense. I just wish there wasn’t a huge update every few days. Might as well come back tomorrow to try and play.

    I've been a gamer as long as I can remember and being a 37 year old and having a young child I am picky on what games I get to spend my time on now. This did not disappoint.

    There's ups and downs, but for most of the time this game shows its heart and what really is about. It's all tied together with the post launch support... There is potencial to become a better game, but it's not a bad game at all. You'll have fun at the end of the day.

    The story's first act is weak but picks up when you venture south to Lost Lake. The protagonist is well voice acted but is just unlikeable at the beginning, although he develops later in the story.

Oregon is a beautiful setting, traversal by bike is well done and there is an amazing dynamic weather system. The bike is by far the best character of the game, it reflects your development through the story and must not be neglected. I will agree that it can be a bit tedious at the start, especially finding fuel but after the half way point, it is no longer a problem. This is a buggy game with many audio problems, it definitely needed more polish. This is a "AA" game which has overstretched itself, some mainstream reviews are a bit harsh as it is no "Last of Us 2". It is a good game, not terrible or amazing. For a first time IP, I had a good time after spending over 60 hours in the story. I would recommend that you try this game. Expand

It really feels like a lot of these reviewers didn't like the first 5 hours or so, bowed out & are now being found out. I can tell you with certainty that the game is exponentially better than what it's being rated. It's absolutely remarkable from the visuals to the engaging and pulse pounding game play.

    I'm not sure why critics gave such a low rating. While it's not a super memorable story, the game is solid, and fun. A few repetitive things, if you're a completionist, but not nearly as bad as some genres. And frankly, the slightly smaller map size, with a fun mode of transportation that you need to maintain, is refreshing.

I love the motorcycle riding and upgrading, the crafting system is too cool, exploring the environment is great and the hordes are scary as hell. The story keeps you wondering what the hell is going to happen, too! Voice acting is fantastic as well and there is a nice variety of 'freakers' and other enemies. Some quests are lather, rinse, repeat but overall they are still fun. I'm almost finished and will probably play it again. Expand

    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.
