    If you enjoyed Last of US, Uncharted or the narrative of red dead you will like this game. It is not quite as polished and you'll find some annoying technical glitches but after a few hours the story and characters really bring you into the world. Honest solid 8 out of 10 and i would strongly support this studio and their future plans based on this product.

    Despite being a little rough around the edges I think this is a solid entry into the genre. Definitely not as bad as some of the critics say.

    Days Gone has a lot of technical issues, those that everybody is talking about as the frame rate on PS4 base. That said, I'll focus on the good! Days Gone has a REALLY slow story driving BUT when it gets deep is just GREAT!!! Sounds effects are so good and the music is just AMAZING!!! I am literally expecting those songs to be nominated for The Games Awards!

    This game is beautiful. There is a lot of detail within this harsh world. A few minor bugs but nothing terrible. If you are a fan of the Post-Apocalyptic genre this is a must buy. Another great game from Sony.

    Half backed, unpolished, seriously buggy, empty, hollow, lackluster, long loading time, really soul less characters, childish story writing AND AI is horrible i.e during gun battle enemies will run toward you so you can easily kill them.

Open world graphics is jaw dropping, weather effects are beautiful. This game offers far more than it seems after first few hours. Also, acting play, dialogs and cutscenes are masterful. One of the most interesting features are so called storylines, which represent missions and those overflapping themselves. Very nicely done! Also "the diary" sections is so well made that it's enyoable to actually go through all the stuff you found and look in to it even more detailed. Great game! FAR from dissapointment!… Expand

    It's a fun game, and the story is good. It's not reinventing the wheel and all games don't have to. Missions can get a little repetitive and you will encounter the odd bug. (one NPC wouldn't move for me through the mission so I had to restart at the latest checkpoint, which wasn't too far back in the fight)

There are so many intricate and well-told stories in this game. I don't understand the complaints about repetition... there is variety. You have to consider the outcomes of how you play the game. Go in guns shooting and you're inviting trouble. Sneak and bash enemies, you'll need to repair your weapon. You can't upgrade so you're overpowered. And bike riding, which I was dreading, turned out to be fun. The voice acting isn't great. That's the worst I can say about this game. Nobody thinks this is GOTY, but I can't think of a better game so far this year. BTW, I live in Seattle and the characters talking about the great hordes of "freakers" moving up from California and destroying the Pacific Northwest made me laugh. Spot on!

    Original review: One of the clunkiest openings to any video game I've played. The first hour is just bizarre. But then we settle into the gameplay and the open world and missions and this is a pretty good game. Updates have ironed out any bugs for me, and it looks amazing on a PS4 Pro. I'm now 10 hours into the game and there is definitely depth to the gameplay. It's not nearly as repetitious as some reviewers have said. I thought the motorbike riding would suck but it doesn't. I thought the combat would get dull quickly, but it hasn't. My one gripe is the actor who plays Deacon. The character is fine, but his line delivery is lame. One reviewer said they were playing this while waiting for Rage 2 and I think that's it in a nutshell. If you're looking forward to Rage 2, this will definitely and pleasantly tide you over. Oh, I live in the PNW and they captured the area perfectly.    … Expand

    The shooting was awful for the first half of the game but it gets better with upgrades! The pistols suck though, I mean really, they suck. The aiming reticle for the pistols are awful and I've noticed that pistols and crossbows can sometimes aim off to the sides of the reticle.

    Except for those things, I've enjoyed this game lots and lots! I found it more enjoyable and less forced upon me than The Last of Us.
    The open-world formula kind of reminds me of Red Dead Redemption 2 but with a bike. I enjoyed this world more though, but if it has to do with actually being better or personal preference, I don't know.

    If we get a sequel to this one, we can expect some great things to come!    … Expand

The melee combat reminds me of Until Dawn (that's a good thing) bashing zombies and other bad guys with ever better creative melee weapons has not gotten old. The gun play early on is sloppy but as you level up and get better guns it gets much smoother and more satisfying. The pacing is spot on, never so many tasks you feel overwhelmed but not too few either. Nice game play variety as well, stealth missions, run and gun, chasing down bounties, hunting, collecting resources, clearing out nests or taking on a horde, clearing camps on and on. Your bike is much like gun play early on it looks good but feels sloppy but as you level up and upgrade it quickly becomes a pleasure to ride through a beautiful open world that feels alive. Rain, snow, sunshine day or night it's all eye candy.

    The story for me is fantastic. Its straight forward easy to follow and I care! I want to progress to see what will happen next.

    20 Hours in I've had no major bugs at all. Just minor frame rate dips but very rarely. This game is a solid ten for me and I'll be sad when its over. Its rare I replay single player games but I'm guessing I will with this one.    … 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.
