    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really like this game. It’s not perfect by any stretch of the meaning but it is good. There’s a lot of filler and it feels a little bit too long. There’s certain missions that felt unnecessary to be in here. In the final third the game, it feels a bit more turbo charged. A lot of stuff happens and its a bit jarring. The game just isn’t paced right.

    I’m not going to spoil too much but the story throughout the game has being building up to the answer to this question, is your wife still alive. But then it’s sidetracked with other random tasks that have nothing to do with the the main plot. The way the story is told is so frustrating. A bit of this story here, a bit of that story there. There’s no flow. And then when we get to the end its seems thrown together in a rush with a load of guns and fire. And the main villain in the end only existed as the big baddy for about five minutes. I was confused by that. They had another one build up a ready to go but finished him off in a cutscene. Peculiar decisions.

    The world that the game is in is fantastic. The world feels alive and it is interesting. The enemies you come across is vast enough that it keeps me entertained. There are times where I’m in no mood for certain ones like the screamers but I power through. The bike I love. It sounds awesome and I don’t care what anyone says but I like the customisation options. I thought that at some point we were going to get the original bike back but I guess the game forgot about it.

    Overall its a great game and I would have gotten the sequel if there ever was to be one. My main issues would be some of the bugs, funny as they may be but a little annoying. And that weapon wheel. My word it’s awful. Trying to select a weapon is just frustrating. Anyway I give this a seven and I think I’m being a little bit generous    … Expand

    I absolutely loved this game. I know people when this came out said it was buggy but I cannot attest to that since I played it on PS5 at 60fps and it was fantastic. I loved the gameplay and storyline. I was terrified of the hoards especially the Chalmut and Old Sawmill. The motocycle to travel was a breath of fresh air as opposed to just having a horse to travel. I loved the fact thatI absolutely loved this game.

I loved the fact that if you were not careful with your gas you would run our so this make you mindful of supplies not to over use which is just in line with what you would expect in a post apocalyptic world. This is a must buy and Sony is stupid if they do not green light a sequel.… Expand

    Hands down the best zombie game out there with the most intense horde encounters.
    The open world is very detailed.
    The characters are so loveable.
    The story is really good with great ending.

    I didn’t expect anything from it, which is why it was doubly pleasant to get a good-hearted and cool game. Got platinum, want a sequel

    As much as I dislike zombie stories, I loved this game just as much! Аnd at the end a bold hint at the continuation of the story, so let's release Days Gone 2 pls;)

    A breath of fresh air on PS5. Great story. Great mechanics. Hordes are amazing. Riding your bike through the beautiful Oregon countryside whilst blasting hordes is what makes this game unique. It's a real shame Sony didn't greenlight a sequel.

    Шикарная игра про зомби апокалипсис, в которой мы в роли байкера Дикона ищем свою жену, боремся с мертвецами и бандитами, а также путешествуем по Орегону. Сюжет классный, музыка удачная, чувствуется вайб "Ходячих мертвецов".

    This game is not underrated. It's overrated. Even if you have a lot of time on your hands, I'd still wouldn't recommend it.

    -Buggy
    **** Narrative and Generic Characters
    -Clunky Combat
    -Absolute Disappointment excuse for bike gameplay
    **** AI
    -Crap Acting and Dialogue
    -Bad Blood and Explosion Effects
    -Repetitive Missions

    I can't believe I actually dragged myself to the end of this game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра шикарная! Сюжет отличный, это атмосферное выживание с зомби, где вы как байкер, в прошлом, катаетесь на байке от сюжетной точки до другой сюжетной точки , постоянно заглядывая в лагеря выживших, попутно занимаясь крафтом различных аптечек, сывороток и метательных предметов. Оружие продаётся в лагерях, там же можно продать уши с убитых вами зомби (фриков) и с других заражённых существ, а также можно продавать кожу животных. В Игре игре присутствует система прокачки способностей, тоесть различные бонусы в игре: способность носить с собой больше предметов для крафта, метательного оружия, а также болтов, нужных для починки вашего байка и для создания других предметов;
    способность получать больше тушек с убитых животных.
    Сначала вы боитесь убивать зомби (фриков), но подбираясь всё ближе и ближе к концу игры вы чувствуете себя настоящим богом в мире полном ходящих трупов и больших ходящих трупов (громил). Также в игре присутствует множество заражённых животных, а именно: крикуны (заражённые вороны), клыкачи (заражённые волки) и шатуны (заражённые медведи, одни из самых сильных заражённых животных, превосходящих свою не заражённую версию, на уровне громил, если не выше).
    Самая страшная вещь для новичков или даже для тех кто почти прошёл игру - это орда (фриков). У того кто скоро пройдет игру (я к тому моменту как появилась эта миссия, за два дня прошёл игру, так что для меня это миссия была очень близко к концу игры) появилась орда по сюжету, которую нельзя пропустить, а боялся он орд, потому что до этого он вообще не приближался к этим ордам и боялся их также как в начале игры (так было со мной, как вы понимаете). Но постепенно, оттачивая навык, я убил все орды на карте(после прохождения игры они показываются).
    Эта игра замечательна, ведь даже когда я её прошел я продолжал играть и получал огромное удовольствие от получения ачивок в игре, которые после прохождения получить гораздо легче.
    Я советую всем пройти эту игру (я прошёл её на средней сложности),
    ведь эта игра подарит вам незабываемые впечатления и эмоции, во время прохождения, хоть она и большая, пройдёте вы её быстро (ну это по сравнению с другими играми)! Желаю всем познать это удовольствие, всем хорошего настроения и с новым годом (у меня сейчас новый год).
    P.s. Буду проходить игру на "новой игре +", на сложности выживание 2 (самой сложной), пожелайте мне удачи ;))    … Expand

    Days Gone is enjoyable if not remarkable experience. The story is largely forgettable for the most part with a few highs. The gameplay is quite enjoyable once you begin taking on hordes, but years after release, there are still a few bugs that can plague the experience. The AI is downright bad at times, with human enemies and freakers sometimes not interacting with each other. All and all,Days Gone is enjoyable if not remarkable experience.

    Days gone is a game that rather confuses me in several ways. It is somehow uninspired and boring, while having some great highs and truly fun moments.

It is somehow uninspired and boring, while having some great highs and truly fun moments. I was struggling to give this game a solid 7, and after 100 percenting it i think ive changed my mind and decided to give it a 6. Lets start with the story. Days gone is an emotionally bland and mostly boring tale of unlikeable characters being in predictable and often forced situations that they dont react convincingly to whatsoever. Which is a real shame, as days gone desperately tries to tell not one, but several stories throughout its duration, all of which end up having the same issues. If you can look past bad writing, and pathetic characters with an overall uninteresting plot, what you get is a fine open world with some half assed mechanics that ultimately come together to make for a mediocre experience. It feels like originally the devs were going with a survival game, but quickly gave up on that idea as the game right now has little consequence for not having fuel or crafting items, both of which the game considers essential. Some underdeveloped mechanics include, the fuel system, hunting, stealth and bounty systems. Alright then, so after that what still allows this game to get a 6? Well thats just it, all parts of this game are disappointingly mediocre. Not atrocious, (apart from maybe the story and characters), not great. Hordes are a fun mechanic that can feel cinematic and fun, although never coming near to as good as they looked at the e3 trailer that's for sure. Exploration works fine, and you get a typical if not slightly above average open world experience to go with it. I think this game has some unique features at the very least, and im sure its a fun switch your brain off type ordeal, but after 100 percenting the thing i find it hard to recommend it to you.… Expand

    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.
