    A total failure and the worst game so far from Playstation Studio. Some even compare this to TLOU2 where it's not even comparable at all.

    The reason this game is a failure is due to bugs and game design which makes me frustrated like, how can a big studio with big budget (Playstation Studio) produce this kind of low quality game? It's not even reach a half-baked cake at all, it's almost raw. Very unpolished like you can see the developer even confused what they are making here by playing the game.

    Let's talk about bugs first. So many texture bug in the game, pop-in object, subtitles stuck and missing out of nowhere, levitating while in jumping action and more minor bugs which questionable like how come that have not been fixed yet until now?

    About the game design, it's the worst for a big studio. More indie developers are even better than this game design. I get it that All Playstation Studios start to create an immersive gameplay by creating an engaging story which include cutscene and that's work but not for Bend Studio. The most ugly design is the transition between cutscene and back into action. Yes, Ghost of Tsushima also did it this way for their cutscene but in GoT is way more make sense because they never insert cutscene between action or combat so you won't get interrupted + the transition is fast. In Days Gone, they force you into cutscene while you are in combat and after you out from the cutscene, you are in the middle of the zombies + the transition or the loading is way too long which kill the tension and the experience of the game. Cutscene is the biggest flaw in this game. Learn from your brother, Naughty Dog, they are the best at creating a flawless transition for cutscene, no black screen needed.

    The nest seems buggy but I do think that it's not a bug rather than a game design from Bend Studio because it's consistently happened that way for every nest in the game. When you burn the nest, the zombies will just pop in or blink, there's no animation for them to get out from the nest once you burn it.

    Last, the story. This might be because of my personal preference as I'm getting tired of every game developer creating a post apocalyptic game and it always resulting in making zombies game. Days gone is one of the worst in their storyline. It seems the game is cutting a lot of context in the game like they want to simplifying it but it turns to be janky. No clear context, background and characters building is just nowhere to be found. I'm sorry but poor performance from Voice Actor as well.

    Drop the game after only 4 hours of playing. I'm glad that I never consider to buy this game. It's playable and the shooting + melee combat works fine but the cutscene design and the story just kill this game for me. No wonder Sony reject an upcoming project that almost becoming Days Gone 2. Perfect Decision Sony!    … Expand

    Repetive missions and mediocre story drag the whole game down.

For example there is a Ripper that has some sort of backpack and I shot him 8 times with a high powered sniper rifle and he still kept firing. I know personally someone who was hit with a .308 sniper rifle round on his left shoulder and it ripped his entire arm off. Even if these Rippers are on PCP I still don't understand how any human can take 8 high powered rifle rounds to the head and body and still live. So they force you to be realistic while being unrealistic themselves. I understand about the concept of "bosses" in games however don't force us to be realistic then make the bosses so wildly unrealistic and highly inhumanly strong and deadly. I think I'll go back to God of War or Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Hey Days Gone people.... Easy level = easy Normal and Hard is for the stunts you're pulling with Easy mode.… Expand

    Visually impressive but mechanically horrific. Major systems like hiding, luring and dodging fail consistently and swarms frequently spawn just steps away from you. Without functioning mechanics to escape, the game is virtually unplayable. I returned it to the store and have no plans to waste my time with it again.

Fun fact, you should fix all crashes game have, rule. And this game does not crash, it just freezes infinitely, next level in quality gaming.
    Days gone? More like Days Loading my game for no reason on ps4pro.
    Crafting is uncomfortable. Bike upgrades... There are 3 levels of them. 1 lvl give you 10% boots, 2 lvl 10% boost, 3lvl 90000% boost, this is how you understand that the game released in not finished state.
    Generic predictable boring story, every misison, every twist, every decision, every word we saw that million times before TheWalkingDead and we seen that for 10 years in TWD.

    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.
