    Had a rough start but as I played on everything started to make sense. I loved the storyline and the character Deakon. The open world sounds were AMAZING!!!

    Did not know this game would be this great. thought it was gonna be another Zombie game which I was wrong Because they are all alive but infected. I like the graphics, plus the wolves I am very scared of when riding on the road    Had a rough start but as I played on everything started to make sense.

    An exciting survival game. This game has been mistreated by the press, which does not understand this type of games. It happened to State of Decay 2 or Dying Light to name two great games.

    Very good game. The hoarde battles which are fun above all else and allow for creative gameplay are worth the entrance fee alone. The story is also very good, being a slow burner with depth. The open world is dangerous and tense, although not hard enough even on hard to maintain this. The visuals are top notch, particularly in HDR.

The game would have benefited from less missions and slightly improving the quality of those that remain as well as a bit more polish. All in all a really fun game.… Expand

    This game was an awesome experience. Great story, gameplay, and visuals. These “critics” don’t know what they are talking about. Half of them probably didn’t even play more than three hours. Sure there are some issues with the game such as the frame rate at certain times, but at its core this is a great game.

The game feels like a combination of Horizon Zero Dawn and Max Max, set in the Walking Dead and World War Z universe. The zombie movement and sounds resembles that of World War Z, with the rippers and other human factions similar to that as seen in The Walking Dead. The game is beautiful and the story is intriguing and well voice acted for a zombie apocalypse shooter. The game-play is good and driving fun. If there is one thing this game has taught me, is that I should not listen to critics every time. If you enjoyed Mad Max, or if you like zombie open world games, get this now, you won't be disappointed.… Expand

    I'm absolutely loving this game. It plays so well great atmosphere and solid story. It feels like an open world last of us. This is a great game and shouldn't be getting less than 8/10 by the so called written paid for media. If you play this you won't be disappointed. My favorite game of the year so far. Well played developers.....great game!

    First off I like to say I'm not that far into it. I spent a week playing off and on and not sure what hour mark I'm at. I don't get a lot of free time to play. That makes me picky about what games I spend my time with. Seeing the reviews for this game I was iffy about it. IGN and Gamspot particularly.

Seeing the reviews for this game I was iffy about it. IGN and Gamspot particularly. I always take their reviews with a grain of salt but 6.5 and 5 review score usually mean I wont enjoy it. 7-10 I usually think okay awesome. So with those scores in mind I read a few places online and watched a ton of videos. All saying the game is pretty good. In my experience So far I believe the game to be at a 8.5. I placed it at 9 because I would rather error on the plus side especially the BS this game is getting. So far I'm loving the story. The world and setting is amazing. The graphics are good. I haven't encountered and of the bugs reported. Gameplay is a combination of other open world games you have played with twist. Like the focus shot and survival mechanics. Love the Bike and how you have to maintain it. Some of my coolest moments so far has come from my need of fuel and going off my path to get some. Running out at night and sneaking around. Stealth is fun not too frustrating. Gunplay seems off sometimes but I took it as Deacon not being some godly marksman that can pull off head shots left and right. Some great horde moments in the game. All in all I'm really glad I decided to buy this game and hope it sells well because I think it deserves a better critic response than it got.… Expand

    There are some bugs in this game, there are some framedrops on certain locations. But none of these bothered me, one was actually quite funny(a NPC was smoking and only his head was visible).

    Some people are very harsh on ths game, sure, a 10/10 is quite stupid too. But it is by no means a 3/10.
    Give this game a chance, watch some gameplay vids on youtube(it is a good representation) and judge the game yourself.

Days Gone is an excellent example of thought out emergent gameplay that is far more nuanced and original than you would expect. You have to plan engagements and be deliberate to survive. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time playing with combat being fluid but difficult (difficulty adds greatly to the fun). Hordes are as expected a technical marvel and very fun to encounter as you can also use them as weapons and watch the carnage.

    Story: I found Days Gone to start slow but really hit home as It got warmed up, one Storyline in particular where you save a young girl was outright shocking but In a meaningful and well thought out way something that is present in most storylines (you get multiple). I genuinely think this is a great strength of the game.

    Graphics: Some of the best on the system to date, the environment looks natural and the weather system is the best I have seen. I have found the frame rate to be quite solid (with occasional non-impacting stutter) on the PS4 Pro, far better than Red Dead Redemption 2 that for me felt very floaty with an unplayable FPS (I never finished it because of this).

    Sound: Again like the graphics the sound is superb.

    Bugs: The game has quite a few however I have found that the devs have been very fast to patch and as a result during my play-through I experience very few and nothing that broke the game.

    Overall: This is a refreshing take on a genre I thought I would not play again added this is a solid singleplayer with no microtransactions and free DLC on the way (bonus points) Kudos to Bend Studios, I look forward to what you produce next.    … 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.
