    Con 20 horas de juego me parece un gran juego, buenas mecánicas, historia, jugabilidad, sistema de combate. Tiene algunos fallos técnicos pero no al nivel que la prensa y los haters quieren hacer ver, en lo personal no he tenido ningún bug que me impida disfrutar el juego. No merece las criticas que ha tenido.

    For an open world game, it could for sure have had a bit of more variety and activities in its gameplay (how come there are not bike races in it??? or even fishing), but I understand it wouldn't fit the narrative so well.

    It might not be as good as it could have been, but it is definitely not as bad as some reviews say. My biggest issue with it are the cutscenes abusing of fade to black

    It might not be as good as it could have been, but it is definitely not as bad as some reviews say. My biggest issue with it are the cutscenes abusing of fade to black between scenes, but gameplay is fine and it is fun. I can think of a couple of worst games that gone better reviews than Days Gone.

    I am thoroughly enjoying this game and can't seem to put it down. Being a fan of the action-adventure genre this isn't linear style as the last of us, it's open world that i can compare to red dead.

It's different in a sense that the gunplay feels similar to other games but at a higher difficulty, where you have to slow down and make you shots count (hence it is a survival game). The bike feels weird and off at first but after learning it,
    its incredibly satisfying. No microtransactions, upgrades to skill tree and bike are not dreadfully grindy. There are different difficulty settings for the replayability (easy, medium and hard).

    Game looks great and has lighting on a par with Horizon Dawn, great weather effects too. Sound is used very well to create a spooky atmosphere and the music is hauntingly beautiful at times.

    Stealth combat is smooth and enjoyable. At first I thought it was too easy but, on hard, you get torn to pieces easily if you mess up so I see why they weighted stealth in the players favour.

    Gunplay is good enjoyable against human opponents but poor against monsters until you upgrade a few things and get a decent automatic weapon. It's possible they wanted the player to initially feel helpless against a rushing group of freakers when you're armed with just a pistol. If so, mission accomplished :s To be honest, I think they wanted the player to deal only with 3-4 freakers at once, max, and to melee them, so don't expect great gunplay versus freakers on 'hard'. The guns have a great feeling of impact and real resonance, with meaty sound effects that echo through the hills and mountain.

    Combat against human opponents allows for many ways to deal with a situation creatively. Bear traps you lure enemies into, stealth, guns blazing, silent crossbow, sniping or a mixture of all. Rarely, you can coax freakers into a bandit camp.

    There are lots of Far Cry type things to do. Clear nests out, upgrades to find etc... Only you know if that's your kind of thing.

    The bike seemed too sensitive at first but I quickly got used to it and I enjoy the feel of it. I like the fact it's a mobile save point too, it's a nice little mechanic that leaves you feeling unsafe when you leave it too far away.

    I'd give an 8.5 if possible and am very pleased with the game, don't listen to the naysayers, or critics who judged it for political/cultural reasons.

    Los gráficos del juego están a la altura de cualquier triple A actual, aunque ciertos elementos como las físicas podrían ser mejores. Pero es comprensible sacrificar estos detalles en pos de colocar tantos enemigos en pantalla. Por lo demás es una delcia visualmente.

    Jugabilidad - 7
    No inventa la rueda. Utiliza mecánicas vistas en muchos títulos y las lleva a cabo de manera correcta. Le fallan dos puntos. Por un lado algo más de dinamismo en cuanto a la capacidad para trepar y hacer algo de "parkour" de forma más libre. Y por otro la interactividad con el escenario. El juego te provee de explosivos, pero no esto no hace que puedas destruir estructuras o edificios cuando quieras. Este, es poco destruible y aunque podemos interactuar con muchos elementos, no existe la sensación de que puedas "modificar" el entorno. Pero vamos, ni en este ni en ningún juego actual. Lo más parecido sería lo que vimos a partir de Battlefield 3, pero en un mundo abierto, a día de hoy, parece que no podrá ser.

    Diversión - 9
    El juego es tremendamente divertido. Las diferentes mecánicas y tipos de misión están enfocadas en que el jugador se divierta. Apenas hay misiones de recadero que no impliquen acción, tensión, o incluso terror. Esto hace que quieras jugar cada misión independientemente de lo que implique para la historia.

    Historia - 8
    La historia se desarrolla de manera correcta. Tiene algún giro de guión pero nada que te vaya a dejar con el culo torcido. Es entretenida, como lo puede ser la historia de una película de Marvel, pero tampoco le pido mucho más. Eso sí, los personajes son muy carismáticos, también esterotipos, pero es divertido. Aquí hemos venido a matar zombis y a pasarlo bien, no quiero personajes sumidos en dilemas demasiado trascendentales. Otro punto a favor de la historia, es la manera en que está estructurada para el jugador. Puedes avanzar por diferentes tramas sin tener la sensación de que haya una clara escisión entre misiones principales o secundarias de modo que es mucho más inmersivo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is actually a very solid one, when I read reviews from it giving it a 5, a 6 I could not understand how the same people could give a better vote to Anthem, but it happened. So I got curious. The Game has an Amazing Graphic and environment, it is a pleasure to get lost into it, there is always something to do, and while some cry "It is repetitive", well, RDR2 is repetitive, most of the Open world games are, some activities are going to be in this kind of games, but in this game your approach will change depending on the situation, it will vary a lot. It is not a Zombie game, as a matter fact the Freakers are living beings (like I am Legend with Will Smith) and their presence in the game is felt, greatly, you will be places in a situation where you know how to handle them at some point in the first few hours, only to be humbled by a change in the weather and numbers of them, and you will find out that they are very practical hunters if you do not flee or have the means to fight them. The hordes are stuff of nightmares and you will be honestly scared when you face your first one, same goes for the second and third, a small error and you will lose against it. The Day/Night cycle is amazing as the need for scavenging. The world is reach with events and missions that are not necessarily available unless you happen to walk there at the right moment. The weapons and how their quality change their damage output and performance is brilliant, you could have the best weapon in the game but have it in Junk condition, and just be able to barely use it. The crafting is also very interesting and let you stock on materials and items to use later. The bike is not just a movement asset, it does give you bonuses depending also on pieces you install on it. The bad part and reason for not giving a 10: The IA from human enemies is somewhat lacking, which makes the game enjoyable, but would have contributed better to a terror environment if they reacted a little bit more natural when finding a body (if they do that at all), I would have introduced the possibility to carry a corpse to avoid being spotted, alas, that is not in the game. Last bad thing to me is the shooting, it is not the best shooting I have ever had, it could have been better, but it does not tarnish the game. Expand

I believe the "story" could have been edited better in my opinion. Some scenes are repeated or just not placed in a good order story wise, but that's me.
    I highly recommend the game if you love open apocalyptic worlds. It takes the best of Red Dead, The Last Of Us, Far Cry, Uncharted and others and blends them wonderfully. Also love the sound when played on my headphones. Kudos to Sony Bend!

    The best part? No "live services", NO micro-transactions, No "online only". Just a great single player full game. Love it!!

No games are free of bugs nor glitches, at least they are not constant so they do not really break the game. Secondary missions at some point get repetitive but then again, what games has no mission that repeats itself. I'm personally enjoy the game because of the theme. If you really want to try it, wait it out a couple of months, 30$ is more than a decent price for this game.

    I just love running around looting and exploring. I though this game would make me bored like a lot of this open world games, like FC4 and Mad Max did to me, but I'm very impressed.

    And the story is one of the best, with great voice acting. Every character I met was remarkable to me, none one of them was like generic. Each one has their own personality. I love it. On another hand, some side missions has generic characters and bad voice acting.

    THE WORST: the performance of the game is terrible!!!!!!

    Is it rough around the edges? Yes. (Glitches) What really shines here (shockingly) is the story and the pacing of the story. Like the early years of "The Walking Dead," the character development is amazing and gets you caring about all of the side stories, along with the main narrative.

    The way they execute telling the story through new jobs added as you go, causes you to stay engaged.

    The way they execute telling the story through new jobs added as you go, causes you to stay engaged. They don't just slap all side missions out there for you to get side-tracked and eventually bored to the point that you don't want to finish the main story. They give all of to you piece by piece. I've never seen it done this way.

    + The gameplay and story are what makes this game. The motorcycle riding and gun play never get old.

    - It's a shame that after 6 years of development they couldn't add more faces. Every rescued person has the same 2 faces. Also, the perks that you can add aren't that exciting to work toward getting. Personally, it would have been great to add more "rpg" elements. Oh the glitches! There are a ton! Hopefully they will get fixed through updates.

    In the end, I don't see why some critics are saying it's a "generic zombie story." Every story about zombies is going to be similar in some way. The narrative around solving the Horde problem, while developing the characters involved is what hooked me.

    Oh, and killing hordes is INTENSE. You REALLY have to plan it out and prepare. This makes it unlike other "Generic Zombie Games" with mindless zombie killing.

    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.
