    Pretty good game. Graphics and story, enemies. Its flaws are the same flaws that you may encounter in RDR2 for example, some bugs, some 2ndary missions that are not that fun. Nothing that breaks the experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A este juego le pondria un 8.6 ya que no es perfecto pero es muy entretenido y bueno LE PONGO 10 DEBIDO A LOS ATAQUES DE LOS HATERS QUE LE PONEN 0 SIN NI SIQUIERA HABER TOCADO EL TITULO O TENER UNA PS4
    Estas personas intentan bajar la puntuacion del juego por puro odio
    Historia que te engancha en un inicio y aunque antes de la mitad tas vez se vuelve algo floja por unos minutos luego desde la mitad hasta el final es un suspenso total
    Buenas mecanicas
    Buena ambientacion
    2 errores que me tope en todo el juego, despues de eso es un muy buen juego para amantes de los zombis
    Esperando a que venda mucho para una secuela!!!    … Expand

    Great game, enjoying so far. Gun mechanics could use some work but other than that, great job from Sony Bend Studios.

Let me tell you, the first 10 hours are fun and the graphics are as good as you can expect, but after 40 hours (the time it takes finishing the main quest), the issues become conspicuous. The main problem is the lack of spontaneity and imagination in the game's design. This open world that you can't fully travel until after the ending; there are a ton of loading screens, invisible walls and artificial walls that stop you from being creative when tackling mission objectives and, above all, it lacks variety in terms of random events, it recycles assets to a fault and the missions are textbook fetch quests. Deacon's abilities lack imagination and there's simply not enough variety in terms of weapons (not that you need it, because of the very simplistic nature of the missions, but anyway). The motorcycle gets much of the attention but not even Deacon cares about cosmetic customization and there's obviously no attachment with the motorcycle. You always face the same ambushes, rescue the same NPC, loot the same trunk; it gets boring. The horde, on the other hand, is great, but it really gets attention after hour 25. And then come the technical problems. Maybe a few of these are solved by the time you read this, but back when I played, framerate was really bad and it was buggy as hell, sometimes the minimap doesn't show the way, some graphic signs won't disappear; voices tend to desynchronize; I had a motorcycle chase that bugged out and the guys I was chasing were stuck; and so on. A.I. is nothing to write home about with the classic embarrassments and the plot... well it is far from being The Last of Us. All in all, it is certainly not a bad game, but it isn't outstanding by any stretch of the imagination.… Expand

    Absolutely stunning piece of art! Thanks to the Developers for hard work on this game! Don’t believe so called critics/snowflakes with their low scores. It’s beautiful and fun. Play it on hard and you will feel the struggle to survive in this harsh world. I love every second I spent with the game! Got Collectors edition, money well spent.

    Despite the very mixed reviews, I picked up this game day one and it is shocking that anyone would give this game less than a 8/10.

    After playing, I realize that critics are holding this game up to the standards of RDR2 and the like. They expect Sony exclusives to be of a class above the rest. If this were an Ubisoft game it would undoubtedly receive 8s and 9s across the board, because    Despite the very mixed reviews, I picked up this game day one and it is shocking that anyone would give this game less than a 8/10.

    After playing, I realize that critics are holding this game up to the standards of RDR2 and the like. They expect Sony exclusives to be of a class above the rest. If this were an Ubisoft game it would undoubtedly receive 8s and 9s across the board, because you know what to expect from Ubisoft. True, it is not up to par with the likes of God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, or Spider-Man. But it is very close, and there are a few things holding it back that I will detail first.

    Weaknesses:
    The transitions between cut-scenes and gameplay are jarring, with random loading and black screens in the way that break up the immersion. This is definitely the biggest weakness of this game. Because it is so strongly narrative driven, the poor transitions between cutscenes and gameplay serve as a detriment to a very good story.

    Facial animations are not up to the quality of modern games. They are what I would expect from the previous generation games such as Uncharted 1.

    Lastly, the world and the side-quests are do not add much to the game, and most of them are more like chores.

    Strengths:
    Narrative. Great characters, development and voice acting add a very necessary and strong layer of depth to the narrative. Deacon is an awesome character that you will grow with and love. The story is very engaging, and the writing is also very good.

    World building and Atmosphere. This is the major strength of this game. Bend Studios has created a dark and beautiful atmosphere, where you can always feel the danger wherever you are in the game. It will really make you feel as though you are living through a zombie apocalypse.

    Graphics are stunning, this game looks just as good as RDR2, Horizon or Uncharted 4, if not better.

    Combat, missions, gameplay are all very fun. Trying to deal with hordes is just as terrifying and difficult as you might expect. Melee animations are gruesome and intense; I love it.

    This is Bend's first shot at an Open-World cinematic game and they have done a superb job. It is a game with the ambition of RDR2, but which lacks that polish that makes RDR2 a generational great. It could have been a 10/10 game but for some of it's weaknesses it gets an 8.5 for me. I'm rounding up to a 9 here because I believe many people have unfairly criticized it because it didn't turn out to be a groundbreaking masterpiece.

    Tl;dr Days Gone is a fantastic game with a great story, characters, and environment, and despite having the ambition of being a GOTY-type game, it simply lacks the polish to reach those heights. 8.5/10    … Expand

    It had a few FPS issues and silly bugs when it first released, but for the most part, they've already been patched. This game is a lot of fun, and it looks awesome. If you enjoy these types of games, you're missing out if you don't play this one.

    8/10. Some Exclusives are made to sell consoles like God of war, horizon, bloodborne, uncharted etc. and others are made to have fun. This is a solid game. And if you own a playstation 4 its a great game and a great inclusion to the ps4 Library.

    Its a 8/10 for me. I gave it 10/10 because it has no microtransactions, so bonus points. After seeing Mortal Kombat 11 I felt compelled to. Once this drops to 40 Bucks it will be a no brainer buy. Depends on your back catalog if you want to buy it full price. Great job Bend Studios.

    El mundo abierto se ve bonito y no tan vació como otras entregas, la música es bonita e inmersa en su mundo, aunque el personaje principal es muy desagradable al principio con todos (aunque eso es por su mundo y acabas sintiendo lastima por el), lo malo son algunos bugs que salen de vez en cuando y algunas misiones son algo repetitivas.

    Fun open world sandbox with light survival elements that makes me think best parts of Mad Max and the Last of Us. Storywise, I thought it was pretty good but your millage may vary. Would score higher if there was a little more variety to enemy types, improvements in human enemy AI and less bugs (minor sound glitches for me with day 1 patch).

    Amazing game! I've been waiting for this one all year! Really enjoying it.

    The graphics are wicked, gameplay is fun and challenging, Bend studio has done a good job.

    Don't get discouraged by the negative reviews. Seems the vast majority that are writing those are XBOX fans and hate everything (when you go back and look at their other game reviews).

    Do not listen to all those so called proffesional reviewers, the game is great
    immersing atmosphere, good story, very fun to play
    the progression system is rewarding and the driving mechanics gets really fun after upgrading the bike.
    the protagonist is very relatable and likeable
    graphics are great, only issue is performance that could be fixed via a patch
    A MUST PLAY GAME.

    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.
