    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is in my top 10 of all time great video games. The story telling and cinematic cut scenes are phenomenal. It does a great job of drawing the player into the story and caring about the characters.

    Positives:
    - storing telling is very well done. Voice acting is outstanding.
    - character development
    - simplified inventory & skills management
    - excellent melee and gun combat mechanics
    - music and ambiance
    - engaging side missions with varied scenic settings and challenges
    - I think the bike fuel and damage management adds an interesting dynamic to the game
    - significant content. There is a LOT to do
    - Limited SJW virtue signaling. There is some, but not as bad as Last of Us 2
    - The use of the controller speaker was well done. I wish more PS4 games made use of the controller speaker.
    - The epilogue missions were well done and a nice surprise.

    Suggested improvements:
    - Add collectible locations to map when certain achievements are reached. For example, show all of the NERO intel locations when all of the NERO camps are found.
    - distinguish focus triangles between what is inside a building versus what is outside
    - put time of day on the main HUD view
    - open the camp gates faster or sooner as the player approaches so you don’t have to stop and wait for it to open
    - add a multiplier to experience or bounties for when the player chooses to battle or take on a side mission during the night. Some sort of incentive should be given for doing things at night.
    - automatically add zombie bounty when running over and killing a zombie with the bike. Give extra experience or credits when killing something with the bike
    - lose the plant picking, it’s a tedious game mechanic and overused in gaming.

    Bad:
    - The bigotry of stereotyping religious and "patriot" people is over the top. Likewise, ALL the "bad" guys are white. There really is no excuse for this.    … Expand

Now they rush through games to get the Revive out as fast as they can. If you just sit down and just tack all in what the game has to offer you'll see how good of a game Days gone is. What the hell? This is awesome! The story is very emotional and smart, the characters are likable, t I can't say any bad. BTW Thank you Sony for releasing this game for PC. Underrated game.

    Soy usuario de PC y me encanta en Days Gone sus mecánicas, armas, las hordas se nota que la prensa no lo jugo suficiente ya que al comienzo no te engancha pero luego te atrapa muy buen juego el cual se merece una secuela se nota que bend studios le puso mucho empeño en todo pero no tuvieron el tiempo suficiente para arreglar todos los bugs cuando salió en PS4

    I really wanted to like this game and stuck with it for many hours. But there is so much that is annoying about it, I ended up deleting it.

    If you are playing, first of all, make sure you invest in your bike first via the Copeland camp -- do not give anything big for trust to Tucker's camp or you will be blocked by a mission that requires a motorcycle upgrade for you to proceed.

    If you are playing, first of all, make sure you invest in your bike first via the Copeland camp -- do not give anything big for trust to Tucker's camp or you will be blocked by a mission that requires a motorcycle upgrade for you to proceed. Great game design!

    Other issues: The combat is unsatisfying and enemies are bullet sponges. Your motorcycle's gas tank is the size of a teacup and might as well have a gaping hole in it. Searching for gas isn't hard but it is a distraction and unfun. The world is charmless and flat -- there's no color or detail to make it feel real. The slavering and lip-smacking of the zombies makes everywhere you go sound like mealtime at an old folk's home -- they should sell earmuffs at the camps.

    Honestly, there is a gem of a game here but the gameplay just isn't working for me. I'm happy others like it but be warned.    … Expand

    If one game has made me never listen to critic reviews it is this one. I have been playing on the Playstation 5 version and can honestly say it is one of the best open world games I’ve ever played.

    I have played day's gone 3 times and as a story it has nothing original but, despite everything, I liked it a lot. The game flows in an excellent way, with the right rhythm and the characters are well characterized, so much that I become attached to the protagonist. The game play is inspired by many other games but does it the right way, making everything very enjoyable

    There's so much detail in this game. Different locations, countless of buildings you can enter (i saw someone commenting they look too similar inside, i disagree, imo they looks just different enough). That city area is really cool, well designed. Then there's some cool things you can discover, but i can't say what, because it would be spoilers obviously.

    Like i just don't understand some negativity toward this game. It just doesn't make sense. Voice acting is really good, writing is solid, to my surprise it's actually really natural, not cringe or forced like some other recent games.

    I would highly recommend trying it, if you don't mind long story, bikes and zombies.    … Expand

    Misconceptions / Lies about Days Gone by Professional reviewers.

    1. Boring open-world - False. Days Gone open-world has many interesting places to visit, with different atmosphere, a lot big buildings to explore, underground bunkers and more. If Days Gone open-world is boring, so is Red Dead Redemption 2's open-world and everyone knows that's not true. 2.

    2. Bad chracters / bad writing / bad story - Extremely false.
    This game has about million times better characters and writing than last of us 2 could even dream of. It's not Red Dead Redemption 2 level, but for example, i found writing in this game better than in Alan Wake and i like Alan Wake btw. Characters are very much relatable, likable and realistic, unlike characters in last of us 2.

    3. This has done 100 times before / another zombie game - False.
    Days Gone is best open-world zombie game. There have been only few decent attempts for open-world zombie game before and most of them are just meh. Days Gone does it better than any previous try. So i want to ask, how has it been done 100 times before? In what universe? I bet people who say that it has been done 100 times before would have hard time to even name 100 video games, let alone 100 zombie games.    … Expand

    It's very obvious why reviewers hate this game so much. Days Gone is biggest threat to their agenda. They want future of gaming to be trash like last of us 2 and Returnal. They want stuff like Days Gone to disappear. Basically they only want female empowerment stuff. I have nothing against that, but what i find problematic, is that these people also want stuff like Days Gone to go away.It's very obvious why reviewers hate this game so much.

Why can't these two things exist together? Answers is sadly very obvious. These reviewers know very clearly that until there's amazing games like Days Gone, nobody will care about their bs games like Returnal. That's why they are so happy that Days Gone 2 got cancelled. Thankfully Days Gone seems to do pretty well on steam (over 92% positive reviews), so there's still hope that justice eventually wins and Days Gone 2 comes out eventually.… Expand

I'm extremely confident that thanks to PC release, Days Gone 2 is coming and absolutely no fake review that tries to pretend like this game is bad, is not going to change that. Days Gone is best open-world zombie game ever made. Better than Dying Light and Dead Island combined. How can anyone even say that this has been done 100 times before, while there was hardly any actually good open-world zombie games, before Days Gone? I'm so done with this bs, because it's very obvious why some people actually hate this game. If Days Gone main character was female, all the reviews would be 90/100. Last of Us 2 proved that. That's just disgusting, that good games get bad reviews, because people who review these games, never ever cared about video games.… Expand

    La historia es buena, pero tampoco no es la gran cosa, en algunas ocasiones el guión flojea mucho ( principalmente en el inicio), pero después se pone muy interesante.
    El gameplay fue algo que me encanto de este juego, matar a ordas de zombies, manejar en moto y despejar campamentos; fue algo muy divertido. Pero también tiene errores técnicos, el más común seria los bajones de texturas y los crasheos. Cabe recalcar que yo lo jugué 1 año después de su lanzamiento y en una ps4 fat.
    En conclusión: days gone es un juego muy disfrutable (con un inicio un poco tedioso) con un gameplay muy bueno y una historia con errores pero interesante, el mundo abierto deja un poco que desear, y los enemigos son muy buenos. Days gone fue un juego que salio muy adelantado, pero actualmente es muy disfrutable.

    One of the best games I've played for a long time. Great graphics, amazing open world, excellent mechanics, and I could relate to the characters and the story. These are all the factors that make a game great and Days Gone has them all. Some games become a chore to finish. Days Gone made me want to keep playing every day. Highly recommended.

    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.
