    This game is the reason I play games. It had a very good story line, the lead character isn't the best but he grows on you. The controlling of the bike at first is quirky but eventually becomes second nature. You truly feel panic when looking for gasoline near a hoard. I was immersed while playing this masterpiece.

Yes I found this to be a masterpiece next to the garbage other studios release. If you enjoyed the last of us this game is right up your ally. Graphics are very decent, controlling is absolutely perfect, sounds can sometimes be off but not game breaking, and over all the game play is entertaining! I am waiting for part 2!!!!!… Expand

    A great open world, a great storyline (albeit slightly tightened), a cool bike ride and, of course, a cool Deacon. Thanks for the game, I’ll gladly pre-order the next part.

    Yo no lo compraba por las criticas tan fuertes que habia recibido el juego, pero lo hice y me lleve una grata sorpresa. Es cierto que aun quedan algunos bugs pero nada que no haya visto en algun otro juego. La historia empieza lenta pero poco a poco va agarrando ritmo y cierra muy bien. Tambien es cierto que hay misiones repetitivas pero a mi parecer son divertidas. Muy buen juego, lo recomiendo.

Yes, it can be a bit repetitive...but if you want to get caught up making near get aways with fast hordes of ravenous undead, then, youll love this. Play it on the hardest level....and its brutal...and it is scary as **** often get eaten...ripped to pieces. IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME to get to thevsdasss weapons....kikler sniper rifles, etc...but once youre there, its awesome. Skinless massive undeadbears rip you off your bike in the forest.

    Game is far from perfect but way better than what all the official reviews say. Story is awesome and gameplay is even better... The feeling I got when I killed my first horde was amazing

    Don't listen to all those bad reviews. This game is amazing! You have a loot, trade system and rewards for killing zombies and getting bounties. A prevailing element of stealth which is the main reason I am into it. The game mechanics are very smooth and feel right to me. This is what happens when a game is exclusive to Sony. Freaking awesome and bug free.

    I thought i was tired of zombie games but this game is amazing. I just started playing it december 22nd 2019 so most of the bugs have been fixed. The 1 critique i have is that i wish you can fight the horde earlier in the campaign since thats the main draw of the game

    I’ll try not to spoil too much throughout my review. That being said, I’ll start of by saying the game itself has a beautiful story filled with some unexpected turns.

That being said, I’ll start of by saying the game itself has a beautiful story filled with some unexpected turns. Sure there are some predictable moments, but that is to be expected with any story. I thoroughly enjoyed the detailed firsthand experience of Deacon’s relationship with his wife and thought it was interesting how the game developers depicted the connection between the two. There was no sappy romance, which would have been unfitting for a game of this genre, but instead an underlying current to their entire relationship that is humorous and refreshingly subtle. I also enjoyed the array of character personalities found within the game. There are multiple authoritative characters all presented with different core elements to their personality; each behaves differently around the main character and each one has their own significance found in separate story lines. A necessity for games following a singular character is that players themselves need to be able to develop a sense of connection to the main character. Day’s Gone does this perfectly by creating a main character that is likable in every situation. Deacon never displays a lapse of his good moral judgment that would force the player to find themselves rooting against him nor does he ever behave in a way that would seem out of character. For those seeking diversity, there are characters of color held in high esteem throughout the story, some of whom are either leaders of their group or subtly radiate authoritative qualities. There are others who are strongly beneficial or necessary to their group even without the presence of leadership. There are women who either run a camp themselves or who benefit their groups drastically in such a way that their presence is essential. Another aspect that I found particularly enjoyable is the variety of enemies within the game. From rippers, anarchists, marauders, and simple hostage situations to the different types of freakers, there are plenty of enemies to face off against. Moving further away from the story itself, there are plenty of things to do outside of the main gameplay. One can engage in plenty of side quests, take on hordes of freakers, explore undiscovered locations, etc. There is no shortage of side quests, exploration, and adventure within the game. The graphics themselves are exquisite and contain a large amount of variety throughout each scene and location. Day’s Gone brings together the best aspects of similar games within its genre while still maintaining its own uniqueness and beauty. I firmly believe that Day’s Gone deserves more credit than is given and I would strongly recommend the game to anyone who is interested.… Expand

    Politics in the Video Game industry. That's why this game got so low of a critical review. I'm about 30h in and loving it. Some frame rate drops while on the bike, but aside from that it's solid. The story is compelling, and the world just feels alive. Great game.

    I don’t understand why the media gave such a low marks on this game, I love the story , the graphic is fantastic, the gun play isn’t the call of duty type , but it is more slow pace and realistic. People should really buy the game and support a good studio so that they can continue to product the next good game for us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, this is my first review ever of anything really, and i just want to say that this game has knocked it out of the park.
    The story behind how these zombies came to be and their use of nests and it all tying to the games mechanic is just so riveting, even the character's themselves.
    PRO's:
    - Great gun play
    - Great story
    - Awesome character's and their progression through out the gameplay
    - Mission's in this game are some of the best i've expirianced in a long time.
    - You can make your own cool ass bike ;)
    - Zombie hordes finally.
    CON's:
    - Not much choice in where the story can go, and how you the main character can influance other characters within the story itself beyound what is scripted.
    - Enemy AI doesnt feel as responsive sometimes, and leaves things to be desired.
    - Skizzo, backstabbing son of a gun.    … Expand

It's so good, I just watched my bf play it for hours on end, engulfed in the story as if I was binging a series, invested in the lives of the characters, begging him to play even when he was tired. =) From his perspective, he said the controls took some getting used to, but they were easier than many others (and he's definitely just an average gamer). There are elements in this game that I've never personally seen before, and the way they mix the cinematic and audio elements with gameplay at times is both heart-wrenchingly beautiful and immensely successful in further investing you in the story. I was truly sad to see it end.

    If you enjoy story-driven games, this is a must-play.    … 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.
