    Not very bad. You can play it once. It is very inferior from the last of us but not realy bad. Its playable if you cant find anything else with zombies. The RE games are also better.

    If you love you'll love this game, with a normal history but a really good game play and graphics this game it's really awsome, the background of Deacon it's really tragic and full of action, you should ride all the street in that bike, with this game THE DAYS GONE.

    Again a sandbox game in which you have to play the errand boy.
    Kinematics after kinematics that hinder the game and do not add anything that matters much. Once again: video game imitating cinema.
    Worst?
    The hordes. A system that promised to be fun turns out to be a tedious, slow and boring replay of attack and flight.
    Waste of time.

    Beautiful full engaging story and world building. The characters are fully realized. The scenery is breath taking. The very few games You don't want to fast travel. The world building is thought truly a wonder.

    This game was tedious for me and has a lot of bugs and glitches. I started to play and didn't enjoy it really. Honestly i didn't care for the story either.

    The metascore is joke lol
    This game is really well-made with a lot of love. The story is slow but gets better and better as the game progresses, the characters are all unique, the gameplay is fun and it's challenging as hell to fight against bunch of freakers. Deacon looks like a boring protagonist as the other AAA games but actually he has a lot of charms and is likable.

    A bit of a slow start, but once it gets going you are hooked and caught up in the action and emotion of it all.

    One of the best games I've played.

    Highly recommend.

    An amazing open world zombie game, with a good story, great voice over acting and damn good game play. The side missions are seamlessly integrated, so they never feel like a chore. Sunk over 60 hours on the PS5 and enjoyed every minutes.

    This game is sh*t, I don't understand why people love this game. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing a game that was made in 2007, clunky animations, lots of pointless missions, very long loading between cutscene and gameplay, weak characters, worst mission design. this game is the most boring experience I've ever had in a long time. If you don't like poorly made games don't play days gone

    Days Gone looks and plays like Read Dead Redemption and The Last of Us had a baby and that baby rides a motorcycle.

    The troubled launch of Days Gone has nothing to do with my playthrough. I saw a few bugs but really no more than I’ve seen in open world games like Read Dead Redemption. On the whole, Days Gone is a solid product. Shooting, melee, stealth, and motorcycle riding all feel good. The fundamentals are there. The story is also not bad, but don’t expect alternate paths and alternate endings. This sandbox has high walls.

    First, the good. The zombies in this game are fun to kill. They are not technically zombies. Instead of supernatural beings, the “Freakers” are rabid humans. You don’t need to destroy their brain stems to kill them. You can run them over, burn them, explode them, beat them with a 2x4, or simply shoot them. By the end of the game, you will be shooting a lot of the zombies. Hordes of them. And it never stops being fun. You can also kill a large number of humans, and though the gunplay is well done, the humans are not as satisfying to take down as some of the more interesting zombies. Fair warning, the first few hours are a rocky first few hours. Trust me, though, the game opens up into a very fun experience.

    Now, the bad. The game needed something more. You can see limitations immediately. The rank and file zombies only present themselves with 3 character models that have only 1 set of clothing each. The game design is also intent on making inventory management a nightmare. You can only carry 3 of each type of grenade, trap, or distraction device. Why not cary 9 pineapple grenades and none of the other? Nope. You can carry 3. And you can only carry so much of each kind of crafting material to make your own grenades. Very quickly, I stopped relying on crafted items and focused instead of buying ammo at camps. The game world tells you ammo is scarce. By the end of the game, you will be buying thousands of rounds of ammo on a whim. An open world sandbox game is always better when it embraces the power of player choice. Days Gone needed some more choices for something, anything, to set it apart from Red Dead Redemption in The Last of Us universe.

    “Days Gone” really does have a The Last of Us feel to it. You have the dread, the artificial family, and even a few jokes to break the silence. And you have the zombies and crafting. I feel like the developer pitched this game as an open world game in The Last of Us universe and Sony said no. So the developer made their own kind of zombie instead. The premier mechanic in the game is the horde. Instead of sneaking around and fearing for your life, you take on hundreds of zombies at once. Yet I didn’t have the tools to fight a horde for the first 30 hours of playing this game. If the game introduced the horde mechanic earlier, I would have seen some unique potential to a “Days Gone” series. Instead, you almost have to finish the game to fight the hordes, and most players do not finish games. I can understand why Sony didn’t green light a “Days Gone 2”.

    Full disclosure: I downloaded “Days Gone” for “free” with PlayStation Plus and played it on PS5. That means fast load times and 60fps. Sony also gave away Horizon Zero Dawn for free free last spring, and if you want to play one of the best open world games of all time, play that. (It is also 60fps on PS5). When you are done with Horizon Zero Dawn and want to shoot some zombies, give “Days Gone” a try. Tell ‘em Deke sent ya’.    … Expand

    One of the best games i have played on ps4. Really deep immersion, nice graphics, and sound design. No need to save the world again, just a bike, nature, zombies, and hordes sometimes - all I need in 2021

    So, this game didn’t receive the best ratings. However, I think most of those reviews were done by the Silicon Valley types. For an older, college educated man, who grew up with the biker type of people, I find it phenomenal!! There are real people that play these games, and it captures our souls! Fantastic came!

    Realmente me gustó mucho este juego la historia es entretenida nada extraordinario pero buena, la jugabilidad me pareció bien al principio sufres un poco con la moto pero confirmé avanzas te acostumbrás, lo único malo que le veo al juego son algunos Bugs o glitches que se pueden llegar a encontrar. Realmente creo que vale la pena jugarlo.

    This is my #2 favourite game from the entire generation of PS4.

    Think of this game as Red Dead Redemption set in a post apocalyptic world with motor bikes instead of horses. It is a real shame that a sequel is off the table. I wish Sony would quadruple the budget for this game to make a "World of Days Gone" or "Days Gone Online" situation. If they could add more gameplay systems,    This is my #2 favourite game from the entire generation of PS4.

    It is a real shame that a sequel is off the table. I wish Sony would quadruple the budget for this game to make a "World of Days Gone" or "Days Gone Online" situation. If they could add more gameplay systems, more base systems, more survival elements, this game has the makings of one of the best franchises in the world.

    Too bad the suits who write the cheques don't like to take risks.

    Review summary:

    World and graphics - 10/10. Super immersive. Feels like a zombie game should.

    Story - I am not normally someone who gives a hoot about story line, but the plot of Days Gone literally had me playing just to see where the story was going. I loved the characters, and I really related to the protagonist and his best friend.

    Gameplay - It starts off slow and that's a good thing in my books. It makes the zombies feel a lot more consequential, and it makes the build up towards more climactic things more intense.    … Expand

    This game is way too long. With very little to enjoy about it. I'm about 20+ hours in, doing minimal side quests and I checked a walkthrough to see how close I was to the end only to find out that I've barely scratched the surface. Repetitive missions, plus the boring story that could have been wrapped up a lot quicker. Over all just a dull 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.
