    Do not listen to all those so called proffesional reviewers, the game is great
    immersing atmosphere, good story, very fun to play
    the progression system is rewarding and the driving mechanics gets really fun after upgrading the bike.
    the protagonist is very relatable and likeable
    graphics are great, only issue is performance that could be fixed via a patch
    A MUST PLAY GAME.

    8/10. Some Exclusives are made to sell consoles like God of war, horizon, bloodborne, uncharted etc. and others are made to have fun. This is a solid game. And if you own a playstation 4 its a great game and a great inclusion to the ps4 Library.

    Its not perfect. But its still better than most games out there. especially as a openworld game. Its a 8/10 for me. I gave it 10/10 because

    Its not perfect. But its still better than most games out there. especially as a openworld game.

    Its a 8/10 for me. I gave it 10/10 because it has no microtransactions, so bonus points. After seeing Mortal Kombat 11 I felt compelled to. Once this drops to 40 Bucks it will be a no brainer buy. Depends on your back catalog if you want to buy it full price. Great job Bend Studios.

    Jogo com ambientação incrível. Belos cenários, e visual. Os inimigos são muito medonhos, em um sentido bom, é claro. A história tenta se desprender de outras obras apocalípticas como, The Last Of Us, ou até, Left 4 Dead e Resident Evil. Lembra muito o filme Eu sou a Lenda. Recomendo este jogo para os amantes de jogos com este tipo de temática pós-apocalíptica.

    It is fun and entertaining that is what you are looking for in a video game. I highly recommend it.

    Gameplay, tension, upgrades, survival, world building, narrative, characters, graphics, animations are all top notch! This is one of the best games I've ever played this generation.

    I don't know why the critics reviews are so low. This game is something special. Don't miss out on it because of critic reviews.

    Nada en este juego es generico ni su ambientacion ni su historia ni su jugabilidad ni su calidad tecnica
    Actualmente este juego barre con RDR2 en calidad tecnica no asi en las animaciones ni lo pretende porque no lo necesita, lo que hizo un estudio tan pequeño es increible.
    Es el primer videojuego en el que nieva y la nieve cuaja en el suelo, la historia epica y su ambientacion hacen el resto.

    These critics blows this game apart for what it is, a great open world zombie game with plenty of content and a lot to likes and also some minor flaws, I'm giving this a 10 just like most people do to mitigate the poor reception

    This game is simply amazing. After seeing the critic reviews and then playing the game I am questioning how much people should listen to reviewers.

The low-end scores surprise me, to say the least. The game is something new that provides fun gameplay mechanics with an interesting storyline while at the same time remaining to be a good survival experience. There has not been a zombie style game of this caliber, (open world, third person, and survival), in quite a while. Please keep in mind this game is not trying to be the Last of Us, it's something completely unique on its own. Yes, there are some bugs, but the devs are working hard to patch them (as a couple of patches have already been released). Performance is pretty good, however, it can sometimes dip by 5-10 fps, (keep in mind I'm still playing on the day 1 version of the PS4 which I'm surprised hasn't died yet). Honestly, this game reminds me of "I am a legend" with Will Smith and that's pretty cool. Obviously, it's not as amazing as Sony's GOW, but it's still a fantastic exclusive. Definitely, recommend picking this game up. Expand

    Days Gone is a brilliant work, with a captivating story of love and survival, with a charismatic character, Deacon is the guy! The theme of the game though seems to be repetitive, brings innovations into a living open world. You should take care of your motorcycle as if you were taking care of your own life.

    Objectively speaking, this game is fantastic.

    I didn't pay much attention to the build-up to this game and only heard about the buzz concerning its mediocrity closer to launch. After learning much more about it, the open world, survival type gameplay seemed like a good time but I went in with pretty low expectations.

    After almost 20 hours of playing, I have trouble putting it down. I almost feel like I'm playing a different game than some reviewers. Most reviews seem to just bring down their score based on it being too similar to other games. While it shares many stylistic choices and gameplay tropes as other games, it does everything so well and I can't for the life of me understand why similarity should be such a heavy negative against it.

    The gameplay is great and provides a wonderful sense of survival while not being too heavy handed. Everything around the motorcycles mechanic makes traversing and taking care of your bike a genuinely enjoyable experience. Something as small as the bike acting as your save point makes wondering the map a strategic affair. The constant threat of zombies in the open world is great and always keeps you on your toes especially up against hordes. It borrows many stealth mechanics from other games, coming together to allow Days Gone to excel at taking out base camps and zombie nest locations, incredibly stealthy. All the systems just come together to really make you feel like you're somewhat helpless in the world but capable if you're smart about things.

    The world is fantastic and exploring freely is both rewarding and tense. Not to mention the weather mechanics in the game are a sight to see. From snow gradually building upon the ground to the way the forest trees sway in a storm. There's always something to do and thanks to the light survival mechanics, there are reasons to return to previously explored areas.

    The game also just looks incredible. It's visually up the standards Sony games have created and presents many cutscenes to enjoy the story. I'm not too far in the story and while it's not mind-blowingly captivating, it does create enough interest to find out where things go and your main character is arguably the best part.

    The only real issue that doesn't by any means ruin the game but should be noted as an odd level of presentation is the cutscenes. There are constant black screens between all cutscenes, even with several scenes back to back, which breaks up the presentation in just a jarring way. It does stand out and seems like a strange thing they couldn't smooth out.

    All in all, this game is great for anyone who is a fan of open worlds, survival horror and most action games. I wouldn't be turned off by the low scores and definitely give it a chance if you can.

    This game has some issues sure, for example some technical problems and the control takes some time getting used to it BUT the game is so much fun.

    É comun ver freneticos caçando animais e atividades que são geradas aleatoriamente pelo mapa como alguem em perigo , um ataque de saqueadores etc.
    O clima do jogo é imcrivel com a neve mudando completamente o cenario e o comportamento dos inimigos , a ambientação e trilha sonora são simplesmente perfeitas pra min,
    a interação dos personagens é muito natural como eu nunca vi em um jogo antes.
    Este jogo com toda certeza é um dos melhores que já joguei ele traz uma historia muito rica e bem construida na qual o jogo não tem pressa nenhuma de conta-la e isso este jogo faz muito bem e entra no meu top 5 fácil recomento com certeza a compra de days gone e um experiencia sem igual.

    Im having a great time with this game so far! The only thing holding me back from a higher rating is a persistent audio glitch in the cutscenes. The game has a great story but that glitch is kind of ruining it for me. As far as gameplay and graphics it is top tier. It Definitely has a slower vibe, that is very similar to RDR2..... until you get in a scuffle with your first horde. I haveIm having a great time with this game so far!

    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.
