    I don't know what the critics were thinking, these so called gaming journalists don't play these games like us the average consumers. they rush through it in a couple of days to get the review out asap for the clicks. This game is packed with quality content with a lot of mission variety and a good story.

    Brilliant, very hard but cracking storyline. Cannot believe how some reviewers panned this. Top 3 games I've played, miles better than RDR2

    Pese a las claras limitaciones de Days Gone, el juego logra ofrecer una experiencia completa y satisfactoria. No estamos ante una obra rompedora ni mucho menos, pero tampoco se le puede calificar de fracaso.

    Con experiencia suficiente y apoyo el estudio podrá lograr mayores resultados en sus próximos proyectos.

    Really enjoyed my time with this! The best way I can describe it is it feels like a game for the ps3 (late part of cycle). It’s full of bugs & glitches. But the characters, story & some gameplay mechanics make this a game well worth playing

    It is a great exclusive for PS4. You have a great sense of survival horror within an open world. Action, crafting elements, your bike, a good story a superb recreation of Oregon all of this and more to give you dozens of hours of joy.

    Don't listen to the so called game journalist reviews. This game it's a near masterpiece in my opinion. The game is very fun,exciting, terrifying, and beautiful all in one. It has a great story that will make you keep coming back for more and a huge open world with many fun things to do. I would rate this game a 8.5 to a 9.0 out of 10 but I'm giving it a 10 just to keep increasing the user score.

    This game is actually way better than What trolls wants you to believe !
    A good story paired up with good gameplay and an interesting twist to the zombie genre with the introduction to hordes.

    I'm from Russia, this game is just gorgeous!!!!! The plot is great, sometimes dramatic, really worried about the characters. Why journalists put a rating of 72???? that's not clear to me. Gaming journalism has slipped to a new low.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Days gone provides you an amazing experience of zombies and open world. The gameplay itself is fluid and intuitive / easy to master.
    However, there are some bugs and errors that can destroy your experience like FPS Drops. The campaign itself is decent and makes you want to play more and more, but the writing itself is not the best. 3 out of the 5 camps of the game are pretty much useless and there are some missions that are non-sense in the context of the story.    … Expand

    Superb open world adventure with a great story and likeable characters. This is huge fun and reminds me of the 'best bits' of other games on a similar theme. Buy this game and you won't regret it (but log out of the game once you've finished a session, don't put it on rest. This seems to cause frame-rate problems for some people).

    One of the most criminally underrated games of the last few years. Sam Witver deserves an award for his voice acting, the story (although it starts slow) quickly turns into a really heartfelt and epic journey that carried me through hours and hours of playtime, and the horde dynamics were legit awesome and strategizing how to take them down was a ton of fun.

    Almost didn't buy because of the mixed professional reviews, although I was intrigued by it and had been for months. Glad I found the user reviews, who correctly informed me that the game was better than the pro reviews indicated. It's a solid 8.5 to 9, and if you like Far Cry, RDR, AC, you'll likely enjoy this one.

Glad I found the user reviews, who correctly informed me that the game was better than the pro reviews indicated. It's a solid 8.5 to 9, and if you like Far Cry, RDR, AC, you'll likely enjoy this one.

    After playing through 75% of the game, I've re-read some of the reviews that initially put me off, just to see if I could figure out the disconnect.

    Gamespot gave it a 5/10. IGN gave it 6.5 of 10. Most of the complaints they had about the game were, interestingly, completely true! What they considered complaints, however, weren't always problems. Technical complaints (bugs, glitches) definitely were problems for some people. Aside from that, though, they identified things in the game that were repetitive or seemingly disjointed, and they weighted these problems more heavily over the aspects that made it fun to play. The game is a blast in a lot of ways. Yeah, it's got a weird moment or two where you think, "Why did they do that?" but it's hardly worth penalizing the game's score over. I know there's always the subjective nature of how people interpret art, but usually, game sites make their bread and butter by being generally correct in a review. In this case, there's a big disconnect between the game's details and the overall experience of playing it (which should be reflected in the final rating.) This is NOT a 5 or a 6.5 game. It's fun and enjoyable and feels like an 8.5-9 game.

    Some people have criticized the acting. The acting is stellar and part of why I enjoyed playing it so much...it was surprisingly varied and different from other games. It's not the actor's fault that Deacon is yelling at times when others aren't; that's the fault of the direction or the people who instructed the actor to shout to overcome motorcycle noise, when it wasn't necessary...and the fault of QC for not correcting things like this before release. However, it's hardly worth deducting a point from the score.

    Some people have had technical issues. Those are the most damning critiques, I think. I haven't had a single problem other than rare frame rate drops while bike riding in the southern regions, but I hear a few horror stories from other people. That's a problem. Supposedly the patches (1.09 as of this writing) have fixed most of them, but the game shouldn't have been released until it was more polished. This was a fair criticism in the pro reviews.

    Frankly, the most irritating thing about this game is using the square button to pick up an enemy's dropped weapon when what I want to do is loot. Far Cry does this, too, and it's always been irritating. Making a weapon swap should NOT be the same button as looting, ever!

    The game, for the most part, has been exhilarating and fun. Scary as hell in some places. Funny and touching in others. I don't care for forced stealth missions (as the IGN review correctly critiqued) and I think they could have eased me into how to fight a horde a little better than how a particular story mission tries to do it, but again, these things are not worth shedding a point over. It's still an 8.5-9 game. Gamespot complains about going on a hunting mission. So what? You can keep hunting if you want. Should it have come earlier in the game? OK. Lose a point over it? No way.

    Glad I ignored the pro reviews on this one. Every game is a "to each their own" like of thing, but as someone who enjoys open-world games and the likes of Far Cry, AC, RDR, Fallout, etc., this game totally rocks and has been a lot of fun, and I'm glad I took the risk and bought it. Definitely looking forward to replays.    … 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.
