    Its hard to see where the hate is coming from. Yes it has its share of issues but I am am enjoying the game a lot more than expected. One of the few open world games where I don't feel fatigued after the first dozen hours of game time.

    For me it was one of the best zombie games ever made. Despite the slowdowns in the PS4 fat version, after the 1.07 update the game is way better. The graphics are one of the best ever seen, controls are good (aiming not too good), and the bike idea was great (controls are weird in the beginning, but get better).

    This game proves how wrong and garbage reviews can be. Days Gone is an absolutely wonderful game. Story is great, Zombies are fun, Bike handling feels so satisfying (I never use fast travel). I just love it!

    Meccaniche davvero divertenti, mondo credibile e molto curato, trama ben fatta che incuriosisce molto a proseguire. Bellissime le orde. Peccato per molti dei difetti di cui alcuni gravi che con più tempo di sviluppo sarebbero potuti essere risolti. Ma che nonostante tutto, non intaccano il divertimento del gioco. Spero in futuri sequel di cui sono molto fiducioso, per questo voglio premiarlo.

I don't write many of these reviews but when a game has me addicted like this I have to make a comment. A game must be something special if it makes me want to play all day long and not go to work! Not even Red Dead 2 or God of War did that for me! It is so sad that these so called games journalists have brought the aggregate score down with pathetic and nit picky reviews.

    While it is not a perfect game and could be improved in some areas such as adding weapons mods and outfit choices, more varied missions etc the game is still an absolute blast to play and experience. I've have not had this much fun with a game since maybe Dying Light. Taking on a horde of 300 freakers at the dead of night in the pouring rain is just so exhilarating! The weather effects are drop dead amazing and are probably the best I have ever seen on a console title. It really immerses you into the experience. This is a triumph in itself for Bend Studios so I really commend them on this fact alone.

    The story may not be the most original and creative but it is certainly very interesting and heart felt. It has kept me interested all the way through so far and after 20+ hours or so you really do start to care about these characters. They are human which means they are both good and bad and make both good and bad decisions. These are normal everyday people and while yes some are stereotypical those stereotypes do in fact exist en masse in this world (ie red neck bible thumpers etc).

    What really saddens me though about these low scores is that they seem to be from these ultra left wing SJW types with political agendas. There is little that makes me madder than reading that these morons had issues with Deacon being too white and too gruff etc having gone over the story with the political correctness comb and pulled out bits they found offensive to their ultra sensitive natures. I have little to comment about these comments from these people other than the fact that they are so pathetic they need no further comment and that's that.

    I am glad to see though that the overwhelming majority of the gamer community are supporting this fabulous game and I just hope that Sony Bend Studios takes encouragement by this and continues to support and add content and sequels etc.

    Do yourself a favor and pick up this gem I don't think you will regret it if you stick with it and give it the time it deserves.

    This title should not get any scores lower than 7-9 out of 10 but my current score is clearly an 8.5 or 9 as no title is perfect but this one is quite close!

    Highly recommended for those who love open world action/adventure zombie apocalypse themed games or survival games in general.    … Expand

Every Sony exclusives is trying to be like them but i for one think all their games are overrated. They are games you play through once and never touch them again, which for me is not a mark of a good game. Bend Studios i thought was going to take the formula and do something more, a post-apocalyptic game that will feel like a ND game but will have gameplay and survival systems that will keep me engaged like State of Decay but nope, its a game that would much rather be a movie. I'm getting sick of games putting gameplay on the back-burner and rather focus on Cutscenes and graphics. The game looks good for trailers i give them that but the game play feels so unpolished, melee attacks dont feel good, firing a gun doesn't feel good, hit boxes feel random as hell sometimes. The tagline for the game is the world comes for you but most of the time im looking for freakers to chase me because the world feels big and empty. Sure you get an occasional wolf attack and or humans attackers but they seem so infrequent. With a tagline like that I wanted to feel like i was in danger at every corner. Collecting resources in a open world survival game is always fun for me but its not fun here, all you can collect is items to make weapons. Where is the base maintenance and management? base upgrade systems? Collecting stuff in an open world gives people a good chance to take their time and really appreciate the details in the world you created, but when you are just maxed out on everything after an hour then whats the point., just drive to the next objective i guess so you can use up your meds and Molotov's. Where is the decaying gunss, where is the customization. Half the budget went to the cutscenes so the gameplay and systems are barebones. Sorry bend studios, i wanted to love this game as i really like Deacon as a character but i just wanted something more focused on gameplay instead of another ND slog.… Expand

With a well paced story, aside from a few repetitive side missions, you're never lacking for something to do. From picking daytime vs night time strategies to fighting off literally hundreds of freaks at once this game puts all the choices in the players hands. Great weapon variety, giving the player the choice of melee, ranged, or stealth, allows for some interesting confrontations as you move tree to tree avoiding a sniper because you chose to bring a shotgun with you or simply shooting him with your own sniper from afar.

    Some pretty heavy technical issues are the only thing that doesn't get this game a 10. From constant pop-in to textures not loading sometimes meaning your death as you careen head first into a boulder at full speed. The worst offender being that constant, and I mean constant, FPS drops when riding the bike anywhere near a camp or sometimes in the middle of nowhere. Patches have helped this issue some, but it's still an issue that can plague one PS4 and not another whether it be a base model or a Pro version.

    All in all I highly recommend this game if you want some good old fashioned zombie killing coupled with good story telling and an interesting writing style that seems to make all the characters a little more real.    … Expand

I'm a bit older and don't always want teeth grinding action. I don't need multiplayer or battle royale (talk about played out) in EVERY game. I don't want to have to talk to anyone if I don't want to because lets face it a lot of people are trolling holes. I like the story, I like the characters. I love that you can play somewhat laid back and more stealthy.....if you choose. I love that you can go guns blazing and take on hordes....if you choose. I haven't come across very many bugs at all, let alone game breaking ones or ones that take you out of the moment. Is it perfect? No. Let's be honest even games that score 10 aren't. The animations can be stiff, the is some pop in, the motorcycle is a bit too loosey goosey for my taste, yeah and guns aren't the best. The missions themselves can be somewhat repetitive (what game isn't?), but it is the story and purpose that distinguish them. As Radio Free Oregon would say: "Don't believe the lies!" All-in all I give it an 8.5 (9 due to MC rating system and to offset zero score trolls).… Expand

    Gaming journalism is not relevant anymore. Days Gone is a very good game in all aspects and many of these people from huge rich brands gave low score to the game for "feminists" and "politics" reason, without pay attention in aspects of gameplay.

    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.
