Just Think about star wars fallen order? Cyberpunk? And you name it. But look at the sales or this game, it can compete with all other succesful games Sony rather priorities now. And thats unfair, because we are a lot of people who loves this game and need to see where the story of the game will end with a sequal. Sony if you are Reading. Call Bend studio and Apply a sequal to this fantastic game, it has still a lot to offer in all aspects!    … Expand

    Este juego literalmente es un sueño para muchos jugadores, tiene una combinación muy atractiva para un juego de acción y aventura, es una lastima que su rendimiento deje bastante que desear pero una vez que te acostumbras es un juego simplemente sublime tanto por su jugabilidad como por su calidad de contenido.

    Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game developed by Bend Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 4 in April 2019, and for Microsoft Windows in May 2021.

    The game is set in a post-apocalyptic Oregon, two years after a global pandemic transformed most of the population into flesh-eating creatures called Freakers. The player controls Deacon St. John, a former outlaw biker who is trying to find his missing wife Sarah.

    Days Gone received mixed reviews from critics. While the game was praised for its visuals, story, and characters, it was criticized for its repetitive missions and technical issues.

    Here is a summary of the pros and cons of Days Gone:

    Pros:

    Great story and characters
    Stunning visuals
    Immersive open world
    Exciting combat
    Varied gameplay
    Cons:

    Repetitive missions
    Technical issues
    Slow pacing
    Lack of innovation
    Overall, Days Gone is a flawed but enjoyable game. It is a must-play for fans of post-apocalyptic games and zombie fiction, but it may not be for everyone.

    Here are some of the things that Days Gone does well:

    The story is engaging and emotional. Deacon St. John is a well-developed character, and the supporting cast is also memorable.
    The visuals are stunning, especially on the PlayStation 5. The world of Days Gone is a beautiful and dangerous place, and it is brought to life with impressive detail.
    The combat is satisfying and varied. There are a variety of weapons and strategies to choose from, and the Freakers are a challenging enemy.
    The open world is immersive and full of things to do. There are side quests, challenges, and collectibles to find, and the world is constantly changing as the Freakers evolve.
    However, Days Gone also has some flaws:

    The missions can be repetitive. There are a lot of fetch quests and other filler content, and the main story can drag at times.
    The game has some technical issues. There are bugs and glitches, and the frame rate can drop during intense moments.
    The pacing is slow. The game takes its time to get going, and it can be a bit of a slog at times.
    The game lacks innovation. There is nothing new or groundbreaking about Days Gone, and it feels like a retread of other open-world games.
    Overall, Days Gone is a flawed but enjoyable game. It is a must-play for fans of post-apocalyptic games and zombie fiction, but it may not be for everyone. If you can overlook the flaws, you will find a game with a great story, memorable characters, and stunning visuals.    … Expand

    O days gone é um bom jogo, mas falta personalidade , capricho , por parte dos desenvolvedores.
    A sensação que fica é que o game não esta polido , falta detalhes de gameplay.
    a historia não é ruin , mas o tempo de jogo faz a historia ficar irrelevante.
    as hordas são legais.
    o gráfico é bonito.
    a inteligência artificial é péssima.
    as expressão faciais são ok.

    eu daria um 7.5.

    Um jogo injustiçado por muitos que não sabem apreciar um jogo de mundo aberto com uma ótima historia, apesar dos bugs no seu lançamento hoje sua versão definitiva no PS5 realmente trás os 100% esperado, agora e saber se vamos ter um Days Gone 2 e ver o final da historia.

There is no absolutely perfect game, Every game has it's pros and cons. When it is about Days Gone I must say that it is one of these games that atract you at first, secondly you start feeling a little bored because you don't know many things about the game, but then the story starts to grow up in you, you unlock skills, weapons and things like that in the geame and it starts feeling more interating. About the world of Days Gone I must say 10/10. The map is HUGE, there are many different areas and everyone feels new and existing. Unlike GTA, you can enter any building, searching for supplies. About the mechanics in Days Gone, I must say that the shooting is very well made and the stealth is cool. It's like in the other popular games. In my opinion the best mechanic in the game is the bike. It feels so real and fun. At overall I give the mechanics 8.5, 9/10. About the NPCs in the game, they aren't so intelligent. I can't say that in other games the npcs feel very realistic, but in Days Gone they look dumper, because their range of sight is like one meter in front of them. It feels like they don't have side vision and sometimes in battles they are hiding in places where I can shoot them even blinded. The stupid thing about them is that they don't change the tacktics when it isn't good, and when somebody of their group dies they don't have the right emotions. For me this was the worst part of the game and I give it 6/10. About the story I can say that it isn't some very emotional masterpiece, but it is one pretty love story. The best part about it was that the hope Deacon will find Dara, was graduating higher and lower and that made the srory unpredictable which, for me, is the most important thing about one story. I agree with the critics that sometimes missions are very repetitive. For me it isn't so much about the same task you need to do, but for the level design of the place you need to do it. For example you get several bounty hunter jobs. If every job was connected with something different like new places, with new mechanics to use and different tacktics, the repetitive goal of the jobs wouldn't be a problem. Yes every cam is placed in different place, but it it's like something is repeating. Like the same rocks you need to climb, like the same barriers you need to crouch behind. It would be better if like in The Last Of Us 2, you can crouch under vehicle, you face different enemies not only on outlook, but on skills. It would be cool if someones try to stealth kill you, not every time do it the savage way. About the gameplay it is very fun, but it feels like it isn't so much surviving. It would be cool if you need to drink, if you can swim, if you need to eat the meat from animals and if the game was made in a way, you have to explore the world more careful for dangers. Like that the feeling would be more survival. And about the hunting, the idea is good, but there are several bad things about it. First of all the hunting system is very simple which makes the hunting very unattractive. The animals in this game act very stupid. For example when deer sees Deacon it goes in front of his bike or just running in circle around him instead fastly hide in the forest. The wolves are also stupid because they get you of the bike but when they are close to you, the wolves just go around you so Deacon can taking damage on them and they don't do andything for these several seconds. After that the take one bite and the same thing repeats. So for me the gameplay is around 7.5/8 because of the stupid NPCs and animals and the bad hunting system which could be a great experience if it was made better. So my overall experience with Days Gone is around 7, 8.5/10. Yes it isn't a perfect game and that is because of the not very big team of Bend Studio, but it is one very funny experience and if you look the good things about it, you will find them in a big amount te through the game. For a small studio like this, a huge game with giant map and 50 hours story, this is enormous step. I think there should be definitely sequel of Day Gone, firstly because the story isn't ended, secondly because I think with the experience and the materials, 3d models, the map Bend Studio have, they will make the sequel faster, with mote quality and I am sure that they will try to remove all the weak sides of this game. So it is surprising that they even made the game and if we give it a second chance it will surprise us good. I give it scote of 10, because I believe in this studio and I know that this franchise is able to even beat the last of us. Lately I see that this game has more and more good reviews just because more people realise that this ge takes time to get to your heart and not everything should be love from the first sight.… Expand

Solid combat, decent gun-play, And the Hordes, oh, the Hordes. The first time you come across one (in my case rail-yard), panic sets in, run, shoot wildly at anything, run some more, panic some more. By the time you are facing the endgame hordes, your development represents the characters development, careful, thought out, traps, pinch points, more traps, more pinch points. You're an old hand by now.

    One criticism I've seen is the characters but I loved them, flaws and all.

    The only reason I am not giving it a full 10, is because, nothing is perfect. Or maybe Days Gone is?    … Expand

    Shis is a pretty good game; my really favorite open world game to be honest. Love how they design the story line so much good. Everything just matches to others at the end of the game, and how my time spent at side quests just make me a pretty good ending. hopefully there will be season 2 when Deek face with tougher enemies.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had I stopped playing after the first 10 hours of this game, I might have given it an 8 because I enjoy open-world games with resource finding and conservation elements. I liked my lookout tower with its gorgeous views and scattered resources. Resources that I was determined to save for emergencies. The protagonist was boring and dreary, but I'm used to that from these kinds of games. I've come to expect to be playing as a person who is a child's idea of a tough guy.

    Things started to go a little sideways for me when I tried to gather up gun to take them back to my camp. In a real zombie situation I'm not leaving a precious thing like guns behind, I'm taking everything I can carry. Even if it's just for ammo/parts/scrap metal. The character has the ability to slow down time, but apparently he doesn't have a duffel bag. I tried to see if there was a way to strap a gas can to my bike too, but that would make too much sense. Not to worry, there is plenty of gas around the map. It's a missed opportunity to create tension in the game knowing you'll never truly be out of gas.

    I tried to take found motorcycles back to the camps too. That was a useless endeavor, I couldn't even get parts of the bikes for my own. You end up sourcing the same resources over and over again; nothing is really scarce, just spread out. If you scavenge an area, leave and come back, all the resources will have respawned. Like the gas, there's no concern about scarcity. Throw all the molotovs you want, you're surrounded by everything you need to make more. The frustration comes from the tedium of having to ride around to collect more.

    At times I wondered if the point of this game was zombies or riding the motorcycle. Both were time consuming and simplistic.

    The story was predictable, unoriginal, and uninspired. It was more suited for a C-level action film than a PS exclusive. I understand that Sony's goals now are to release games that could be movies. I imagine DG is going to be a good movie thanks to the setting, the zombies, and maybe even revamped characters, but the story will still be boring.

    Back to the time I spent playing this game - which ended up being 60 over almost 11 months (that's how repetitive this game is, I took long breaks and it still felt like a chore). After 10 hours I realized that everything I was doing/hearing/seeing was all there was ever going to be. That if I wanted to upgrade my weapons and bike, I was going to have to keep repeating the same tasks over and over. To be clear, the tasks were different as far as the game is concerned but it might as well been copy and pasted objectives. Someone who doesn't know how to take care of themselves left the camp and got kidnapped for the 10th time, I'll go save them. I stumbled upon an ambush camp, oh no, I guess I'll take all these guys out like I did at the other 39 ambush camps I had to deal with before. Ride all the way across the map to talk to a rock or pick flowers, sure. Sneak around. Changes were as basic as this NERO site needs gas AND a fuse now. Wild. And the guy at the marauder camp has a flame thrower, but don't worry because the AI is so dumb they won't actually do anything like flank you or even advance towards you. Sometimes they'll even leave cover to run halfway to a different spot, stop in the open, then turn around and run back to their original cover.

    I learned pretty quickly which cars and buildings were going to have which resources; eliminating the need for me to actually search for things. For all the time they spent making scaled down Oregon look pretty, they didn't put much effort into the variety of the objects within the world. Bless Deacon for prying open the hatch on the SUV to get to the trunk instead of just reaching in through the broken window. The boy's not the brightest bulb, folks.

    I think I've covered everything: boring, uninspired, repetitive. Even fighting the hordes gets to be monotonous: set traps, run, turn shoot, run, rinse, repeat, until they're all dead. And it's likely you'll accidentally find a glitch spot when you're fighting the hordes where they can't reach you; the map probably has more of these spots than they do hordes.

    The final fight would have been the biggest let down had the game not been such a disappointment to that point. By then I wasn't expecting anything unique or exciting. Just more of the same.

    But there was one last thing that upset me. The whole game Deacon can't swim, he drowns within seconds. Last big fight of the game, the bridge is blown up and Deacon has to swim a decent distance. If Deacon is so terrified of water why was the plan to blow up the bridge first? To have one corny moment of character development? It's too little too late.

    If you absolutely have to buy the game wait until it's on sale at least. It's four years old now and wasn't worth $50 when it was new.    … 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.
