    Lets get this out of the way, Days Gone is by no means "The Last of Us". With that being said, its also not a game that deserves so much scrutiny and this unexplainable low score.

Some of these "professional" reviews don't even make sense, as if the game failed on a personal agenda for them. White gruff male? White colored freakers "zombies"? Why do we play games in the first place, to criticize all but the reason why we play video games. For entertainment and the immersion the break from the real world. Why push your hate towards a game with a personal agenda. Like I said, to each their own. All that aside, I'm having so much fun with Days Gone and can't wait to get back in.… Expand

    Days Gone is an open-world game that is trying to hold a big name towards The Last Of Us II, if you loved TLOU, you will love this game. Amazing storytelling, I so fuking love the facial animations of Deacon St. John and his character is so good. Really worth the 60 EUR price tag, what are you waiting for?

Y el ultimo punto negativo el cual es algo que me veía venir y rezaba para que me equivocara y es que el jueo se hace repetitivo luchar contra los freakers se resume e disparar correr 10 metros para alejarte y disparar, en si si eres alguien mas estratega puedes sacarle mas provecho a las trampas de osos, granadas, molotovs, etc ademas la inteligencia artificial es un insulto para la generación en la que estamos de los freakers es mas entendible pero la de los humanos en el juego parece que por lo menos cada ser humano le faltan 1 o mas sentidos se me olvido mencionar la motocicleta la cual es tu compañera tu Epona, tu Ellie, tu Elizabeth siempre estará para rescatarte cuando la horda te este pisando los talones muy bien echa y con un peso emocional en la historia del protagonista.

    This game is addicting as hell! Critics are confused on what makes a good game apparently, because the game I'm playing and the game they reviewed are obviously different. Slow burn type of action game, but one hell of a ride. Once you get going, a lot of your time will be.... days gone.

I know, I know, I’m being facetious. I understand that the developers have to fit refuelling into the necessarily reduced scale of the open world. On a more serious note, I find that the question marks, denoting an interesting event happening, tend to disappear never to be seen again once you dismount from the bike. It’s got to a stage where I just ignore them now because I am often unable to find the event on foot. These or small points. Otherwise it’s a lot of fun.… Expand

    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!!!!!!

    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

There are so many intricate and well-told stories in this game. I don't understand the complaints about repetition... there is variety. You have to consider the outcomes of how you play the game. Go in guns shooting and you're inviting trouble. Sneak and bash enemies, you'll need to repair your weapon. You can't upgrade so you're overpowered. And bike riding, which I was dreading, turned out to be fun. The voice acting isn't great. That's the worst I can say about this game. Nobody thinks this is GOTY, but I can't think of a better game so far this year. BTW, I live in Seattle and the characters talking about the great hordes of "freakers" moving up from California and destroying the Pacific Northwest made me laugh. Spot on!

    Original review: One of the clunkiest openings to any video game I've played. The first hour is just bizarre. But then we settle into the gameplay and the open world and missions and this is a pretty good game. Updates have ironed out any bugs for me, and it looks amazing on a PS4 Pro. I'm now 10 hours into the game and there is definitely depth to the gameplay. It's not nearly as repetitious as some reviewers have said. I thought the motorbike riding would suck but it doesn't. I thought the combat would get dull quickly, but it hasn't. My one gripe is the actor who plays Deacon. The character is fine, but his line delivery is lame. One reviewer said they were playing this while waiting for Rage 2 and I think that's it in a nutshell. If you're looking forward to Rage 2, this will definitely and pleasantly tide you over.

Most of the components that make up the overall Days Gone package have been done before in previous games, there isn't much that's original. But not every game needs to be totally original and although unoriginal, it does most of the things it sets out to do very well. You won't find any level-gating or forced grinding here either. There seems to be just the right amount of side content/side missions, and they're all optional. I'd also like to point out that Bend studio has really nailed the open world formula. Like I said before, there is no forced grinding like there is in so many other AAA open world games today, and the open world is just the right size. Its large enough that it will take you many hours to fully explore, but it is small enough that you will retread the same areas and become at least somewhat familiar with them. I still find interesting little nooks and crannies in the map that I had passed by several times before as I continue to play. This game has so much heart and soul, its extremely clear to me that the developers at Bend Studio really put in the time and effort on every part of it. It's not without its faults, but I found those faults to be completely forgivable given the high level of quality here. If you enjoyed Red Dead Redemption 2, you'll enjoy Day's Gone. They have similar mechanics, similar issues, and are at their cores narrative-driven, high quality, single player open world games.… 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.
