    In general, the game is very good. It’s fun and exciting. The hordes in this game are super funny to fight. I enjoyed so much, but my only issue is the fps drop, there are some cases that I can’t even play!

    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

    Pretty solid but a lot of bugs, even in 2021.
    Very slow to build up. Interesting story but it could fit in a 90 minutes movie. Stretched over 50 hours it feels too diluted.
    Weird dynamic for an open-world game. A few times now my mission list is completely empty. I meant EMPTY. There is nothing to do (as I have cleared all camps and side content and aide missions). So I just bike    Pretty solid but a lot of bugs, even in 2021.

    Days Gone a me è piaciuto molto, la prima cosa che colpisce è la grafica molto ben fatta, con i modelli dei protagonisti credibili e cura nei dettagli. Anche il gameplay e la storia fatti bene. Ci sono molti colpi di scena ed è carina anche la gestione della moto e dei campi. Consigliato!

    Never had too many bug issues myself early on, current state is fine though (outside of some slightly jarring yelling and conversations). Thoroughly enjoyed this game, in the beginning I was having fun and the deeper i got the more i was hooked. At some point it just keeps getting better. Great job Sony Bend on the first big console exclusive!

    Overall I really enjoyed my experience with days gone and while there are some things I didn't like (mainly the nero missions but thats really it) It's not a perfect game but it's a must play if you have a ps4 8.5/10

    I don't know why people gave this game such a low rating when its a great game. Of course the story is pretty repetitive but its still amazing considering its an open world and their first game.

    A real surprise package. It gets better as you play. The platinum is not too much of a grind. When this hits a sale, I can see millions more being sold. Its worth it, a really good game.

    I made an account just to add my rating since I, like many other users, felt like the critics blew this game out of proportion.

    It takes some time for it to get going, but once it does, it's worth every second.

    PROS:
    - Open World formula done right.
    - No grinding
    - Great atmosphere
    - Cracking skulls

    CONS:
    - Gunplay is a bit rough at first
    - Voice acting is odd at time.
    - That damn motorbike consume 10x more fuel that my Tacoma

    This is a solid 8.5 at least.

    Aside from weird voice acting at the time... This is a solid game.

    Pros: great graphics, great gameplay, great storyline and breathtaking hordes. Cons: 25-27 FPS when riding a bike in bad weather in most cases, but sometimes even in a seemingly quiet environment + horrible bugs, like poor loading of textures and even whole locations: makes it look like Minecraft. Developers! Please fix these ones and the score would be 9! From Russian zombie fan with love :)

    Got into the game late, so I didn't experience any of the bugs people speak about. The gunplay feels satisfactory, the bike is great and mechanics are fun overall. The story is absolute garbage and the writing is incredibly cringy, but it has kind of a Z-series charm.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 8.5 FOR ME! Just done playing this game on HARD mode and now I moved on to Survival mode. Its a blast! I will go over a few things below:

    PACING - I don't see why people found issues with this? At first I was feeling overwhelmed by the amount of content, side-missions and basics of every new region that unlocks. But thanks to the 'slow' start, I understood so much about the game right at the start that was very helpful in learning how the game functions. It gives a base understanding of the mechanics such as what you unlock from clearing ambush camps, what you get by burning nests and what happens from activating NERO points. I never really had any issues with the pacing of the game. If you just want to beat it for the sake of it, YES, the game is slow but then its not even fun.

    STORY/PERFORMANCE - Overall, the story is good. It gets better as the game goes on and it has some really unexpected plot twists which work out well. The secret ending(s) setup perfectly for the sequel and some speculations as well. I will say that the game lacked the performance or effort from certain characters and sometimes Deacon and a few others didnt sound/act natural or came out polished but overall I am satisfied. Nothing great in performance but nothing average either.

    GAMEPLAY - Ok, first of, you don't get to fight the hordes right off the bat and that sucks. I hope that in the next game, they at least give you a back seat at horde fights; watching a bunch of people from each camp/region take out a horde in unity so it feels like this can't be done alone, only to do the hordes alone at later stages of the game. Being an open-world game, I really found it interesting and strategic as to how I should deal with certain situations. Customizing and Flexibility was well placed here. You can take out enemies in a handful of different ways and those ways can then be done with different weapons. The game allows you to Fast Travel between major checkpoints (except survival mode) which is a plus as you may not be the one who likes to ride your bike that much. The time of the day and weather impacts are very creative of the studio and I am hoping that they expand upon it in the next game, not sure how but the studio is welcome to surprise us. I am not a huge fan of shooting games and don't know much about the mechanics so I will just say the shooting aspect seemed ok to me. The human AI, however, is extremely dumb in stealthy situations and I hope it gets fixed.

    TECHNICALITIES - Ok this is where the negatives are, most of them. The game still drops frames (patch 1.30) towards the end part of it. And that becomes consistent. There are glitches and bugs in it. Are they game-breaking? Well I only encountered 2 or 3 being game-breaking. One where a tough enemy was stuck and I could cheese kill him by exploiting the glitch. Another where I couldn't access my inventory which stopped me from completing a mission. And maybe another here or there that wasn't that game-breaking but kind of vital. They can all be fixed by rebooting the game/console. If you don't play for more than 2-3 hours per sitting, you won't really encounter most of these bugs. But still, they are annoying at times and can make you rage.

    OVERALL - Overly satisfied with the game and can't wait for the sequel!    … Expand

    Gameplay: 8/10. Killing freaks is satisfying, menus are a bit clunky but work well enough. Driving is hard at first but you get the hang of it quick. Terrible human AI. Scavenging limited resources is part of the fun.

    Game was a mess at launch but the patches have fixed a ton of the issues. I think a lot of critics were too harsh on this game as there is a lot of fun to be had here. The bike running out of gas so quickly really ruins a lot of the exploration and enjoyment of riding. Definitely worth picking up as now it’s regularly $20 or less.

    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.
