    This game is great, not perfect, but it is not the generic zombie shooter game the critics make it out to be.

    Days gone junta todo lo bueno de un videojuego y hace que en todos momentos te diviertas con accion constante y una historia que te engancha y hace que siempre quieras saber mas y con una buena variedad de misiones y cosas por hacer

    The best part of this game is the game environment. Everything looks amazing and I love it. I'm hoping for next Days Gone.

    While the game has a lot of technical issues I would say it was a pretty good experience. The strongest aspect of the game is the story, Deacon’s story of a broken man trying to find a reason to live I thought was very good. Gameplay is mostly ok, it starts out really bad as you are given mostly busy work and bad guns but as the game goes on the missions are more varied and better gunsWhile the game has a lot of technical issues I would say it was a pretty good experience.

    It's fun to collect things in the open world. Close combat mechanics are working well. Motorcycle use is realistic and fun. BUT storytelling is not good. Standby screens are long in PS4. Missions aren't interesting. Cutscenes are boring. AS A RESULT, Days Gone could be one of the best games of this generation if Sony Bend Studio had been a little more time. Days Gone is a good game but not enough.

    Any game that’s had me hooked for 80+ hours is a solid experience in my book. After the patches, the issues are largely gone and the criticisms about the storyline are unfounded in my opinion.

    El juego está bastante bien,su historia principal,sus encargos ,las hordas ,etc.
    Pero su principal problema es que el ju go está mal hecho y que con muchas actualizaciones que le metan seguirá yendo mal.

    All I will say is that I'm enjoying the game and the story. Gameplay is fun a little buggy with AI sometimes but usually works pretty well. Great attempt at a new IP from the studio.

    I totally get why some people might dislike this game, but man do I love it. The story starts kind of slow and messy, but then it really picks up and you start feeling invested in the story and characters. The gameplay is so much fun: the crafting, taking care of your bike, and defeating freaks and hordes. The graphics look amazing and the amount of detail is simply astonishing.

I hope that the bad reviews from critics doesn't stop Bend Studio from making another sequel, because this game truly deserves it.

The open world; vast and enticing with a myriad of random events, collectibles and side missions/ activities to keep you busy for hours on end. The game also manages to create a feeling of dread and foreboding that really allows the player to become immersed in this wonderfully crafted and detailed world. It’s beautifully animated with smooth realistic graphics and amazing facial animation. The story is very well-written suspenseful and engaging, with realistic, deep and interesting characters, although it does take some time to really pick up. I also found the soundtrack surprisingly enjoyable and it really added to the vibe being set by the story and environment. The sound effects were realistic and believable. I also have to give praise to the cast as the acting in this game was phenomenal, I believed it all, I really felt like the characters were real and couldn’t help but empathise with them all, despite how little I sometimes wanted to. The only thing that hampered the experience for me and keeps me from awarding Days Gone a 10/10 score is that I experienced some performance issues (particularly frame rate drops), bugs and out right crashes that really broke the immersion but thankfully did not break my game, however patches have been released to deal with exactly these issues and at the time this review will posted future updates are planned.… Expand

    Not very far into the game yet but very good so far. Story really grabs you and brings you in. Plenty to do and relatively challenging for a casual gamer but definitely beatable. The hoards definitely pose a threat but are also bearable with plenty of supplies or a good strategy. Can’t wait to play through the rest of the story.

    Days Gone is a beautiful interesting take on a zombie apocalypse. It is a mix of Last of Use meets World War Z with a dash of Walking Dead.

The game play doesn't vary much for this either. I ended up getting bored at the 8 hour mark because it was just the same type of missions over and over. Where I think a game like The Last of Us succeeds is that it uses set pieces and has climatic moments never feeling like a slog. Unfortunately for Days Gone that is what this game felt like. I think a lot of this game could've been cut out for time and if they did it'd been a tighter better experience. Another issue I had was the motorcycle stuff. The gas management was only tedious I never felt like I was going to run out nor that it was the end if I did. Gas is so plentiful that I didn't see the point in making me stop after every mission just to fill up. This is not a bad game by any sense. I honestly get if someone tells me that they love it. It just wasn't for me. I give it a nice BARGAIN BIN… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to admit, I rated it a 9 because I'm from Bend, OR (Farewell in the game, Farewell Bend was the original name of the town). Otherwise, it would be an 8 otherwise, because of the shooting experience (a 50 cal would easily do more damage and the point and shoot was not eh) and [Spoiler Alert!] you don't get to see Boozer, Sarah, or anyone really after you beat the game, that really bugged me... I really enjoyed the inside jokes and easter eggs of the East side of the Cascades of Oregon. When they mentioned Portland getting nuked I couldn't help but burst into laughter, Chemult had some almost exact buildings in the town and the fact there was a community college there was hilarious. The story was gripping, the ending was satisfying, the gameplay was realistic but not so realistic that the game was unplayable (how pissed everyone would be if the gas ran out at the stations or in the cans I can't imagine). I really enjoyed the game, it has its problems but it was well worth the wait.… 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.
