    I see a lot of 0/10 reviews that seem unjustified. I’m a few hours into the game and it seems like it’ll be a good story and refreshing setting for the open-world action adventure genre. I would realistically say 8/10 for now, but I’m going with a full 10 to make up the difference.

    Gostei muito do jogo, a cena inicial já foi suficiente para eu gostar do personagem principal, só não gostei muito de pilotar a moto, demora um tempo para se acostumar, no mais o jogo é excelente, na minha opinião.

    Чудова гра! Прекрасне ховається в дрібницях які мало хто помічає. Шкода що тут купа критиків які навіть не мають PS4 і занижують рейтинг. Так як і певні видання, думка яких просто сміттям.

    I'm having a blast with the game! Really fun to play,awesome graphics,great protagonist,the setting,everything fits so well. I like this The Walking Dead style.

    The only thing i don't like is the huge loading times,but that can be improved by further patches like it happened with Bloodborne.

    This game is being judged extremely unfairly hence the undeservedly low score.

    This is not a perfect game but it is an extremely well made good game. I cannot give it a 10 because it is not perfect for its genre.

    The combat is very similar to TLOU but with a lot more fulfilment, the open world is fun to be in, the survival aspects have been balanced amazingly well. You are very rarely flush with resources but it is never hard to find more.

    The bike is a great addition, it feels nice to ride, the upgrades for it are comprehensive enough to not feel like a tacked on feature but not so overbearing as to be offputting. My only gripe is that it runs out of fuel too fast but this is kind of overcome with the ease of obtaining fuel but it is still a bit of a downside.

    Anyone giving this game a score of 4 or less, pull your heads out of your asses. I have read your reasoning for the low scores and I can tell you have not played the game as most of the reasons do not even make sense. Games do not have to re-invent everytime a new franchise comes out, Days Gone has taken a lot from other games but puts enough of its own ideas in to warrant its place on the market.

    A lot of the people giving this low scores are clearly either a) xbox fanboys (heres looking at you
    XboxPlay14) or b) just don't like open world games yet bought it anyway.    … Expand

    Days gone is not a perfect game, but it is also not so bad. Good graphics, normal story line, convenient interface, nice game-play and craft system. It is like Horizon Zero Dawn but in post-apocalypse world. If you want to be Daryl Dixon from Walking Dead, driving a bike and killing zombies/freaks this game I really recommended. My Score 7,5-8. Good project..

    Seriously now guys, can someone explain to me why this game has so many bad scores?? I played it for 2 hours and the game is awesome.The only negative for me is the transitions (cut-scene to action) and that is because we are spoiled by recently release titles.

    Não entendo as críticas negativas! O jogo é realmente muito bom! Tem um mundo incrível que nos permite emergir num ambiente pós apocalíptico, além de ter ótimos gráficos e jogabilidade e ainda uma história interessante! O melhor jogo lançado este ano até agora sem dúvida!

    Screw all these fake reviews, maybe ign rated this game 6,5 because didn't get payed by the company as usual. If you wonder if the game is good then you got yourself a deal. Open world zombie apocalypse survival game awesome graphics on my ps4 pro, interesting story solid gameplay mechanics and so many hours to spend on it. Sony never disappoints just remember that

    It seems strange to place a game like this on the market with TLoU 2 so nearby on the horizon, but this seems to be a zombie game for those who didn't get their zombie checklist marked off by the structured, narrative-heavy Naughty Dog franchise and who haven't yet had open world fatigue set in.

Striking a balance between the introspective of TLoU and the gameplay focus of games like World War Z, Left 4 Dead and Dying Light, It has a narrative focus, but much of it is just set-dressing for a surprisingly ambitious playground in which to ride your motorcycle, kill zombies and loot, loot, loot.

    Therein lies Days Gone's biggest strength, and its greatest weakness: it's chock-full of content, so much so that like every gameplay-driven open-world game, grind and repetition are practically unavoidable, and your enjoyment will boil down to how much of the world-building you can enjoy and how much of the grind you can handle. Motorcycle mechanics are a treat, checkpoints are fair but not exploitative, and the Hard difficulty setting is surprisingly well-balanced, making it an excellent game for people who want a surmountable challenge but not an insurmountably unforgiving testament to skill. Building trust with camps is a little more impersonal than it should be, and this is where much of the grind originates from considering much of the game's 'credit' economy is based around it, but while it may not be especially compelling, I can't fault it for not being efficient and streamlined: turning in items to Bounties and Kitchens and turning it around to Mechanic merchandise is an interesting way to keep shop progression balanced, and it works

    Developed on UE4, a rare shift away from Sony's usual in-house engines, Days Gone isn't exactly full of bells and whistles, but it performs at a respectable 30 fps with incredibly rare dips (even during Horde sections), and most notably, its use of shadows is top-notch, and with a Pro is best experienced utilizing the full effects of an HDR display. Load times can be far less-than-respectable though, so this deserves special mention. It uses checkerboard rendering to achieve 4K visuals, so the visuals and textures are more crisp than early Alpha footage would have led people to believe.

    The Pacific Northwest setting of Oregon is a rare setting in games, but not one that makes for especially creative design opportunities, so if you're expecting much more than North American rainforests, I wouldn't get my hopes up here. But if you're looking for a zombie game that can keep you engaged with lots of mechanically-sound open-world gameplay, this is the best title you're going to find    … Expand

    Wait for the PS5 re-release. Until then it should be what we expect it to be. At least graphics. Not sure if the gameplay will change. Story is ok.

    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.
