    loved everythjng about this game. also the new survivor mode difficulty is great takes all the good things about the game and bumps it up a notch. critics and zero reviewers must have a chip on their shoulder. no idea why it’s making them no upset. story is great. good writing and voice acting. there are foibles here and there but eh, nothing’s perfect. 10/10. anything less than a 7 is silly.

    I honestly don't understand all the slack this game is receiving from game critics.

It is a true AAA+ gaming experience in every way, and the most impressive thing about this game, which honestly took me by surprise is the way it delivers its really deep and touching story. I felt truly connected with the world and its characters. Also another very important thing is that - yes, this game is huge, but it's not overfilled with unnecessary activities. You know when in AC games you're up and climbing that 70th viewpoint to get that necessary synchronization, while questioning your life beliefs in the background? This game doesn't have that - it delivers just enough not to make it feel like a chore, everything is dynamic and most importantly - fun. It's fun to play, fun to explore, fun to immerse yourself in, and I always keep coming back.… Expand

    A great game and a breath of fresh air. I had a lot of fun traversing and exploring the world, taking out zombies and swarms as well as enjoying the beautiful graphics. The story and characters are also top notch, and at times, I even felt emotion.

I know, I know, I’m being facetious. I understand that the developers have to fit refuelling into the necessarily reduced scale of the open world. On a more serious note, I find that the question marks, denoting an interesting event happening, tend to disappear never to be seen again once you dismount from the bike. It’s got to a stage where I just ignore them now because I am often unable to find the event on foot. These or small points. Otherwise it’s a lot of fun.… Expand

    Just for Graphics, World building, Sound, Gameplay and Setting this game deserves a solid 6/10
    I guess where you can kick it down on a little is the Bugs, Story, Zombie Genre and the lack of Multiplayer. (Because lets be honest, how cool would it be to roam DaysGone with a 2 players Co-op ?)

    Yes, the game bogs down and drags a bit....and yes...there are some inital bugs that plaque the game. But, when does this not happen with a new relase ?

    That being said.... This game is GREAT!! I got in on relase date and I have barely put it down this whole weekended. Now tell me, if a game was really 0/10 or maybe 2/10. Would I play it this much ? A game that is a 0/10 is something you cannot even stand to play 30 minutes.

    Speaking of playing a lot...I only just scratched the surface of this game. I think im still only 34% into the story! And I sunk a decent 15 hours into this already!

    And not even side-tracking and wasting time. Just doing ingame stuff !

    The gameplay is solid. The vibe is just wonderfull. And the tense moments just make it so great.
    I dont think I can say anything that has not already been said by other people.

    LIke I said, I guess this game is not everybody's "cup-of-tea" so to speak, but if you`re into the whole post-apocolypse with free roaming and third person shooting ?? you really can't go wrong with this game.

    There were however more bugs in this game then there should have been at launch, but a number of them seem to be patched already, and I am sure since it is a first party game, sony will make sure the rest are fixed asap. The only bug I have personally come across is an audio bug.

    One other thing, for those saying the game offers nothing new....I completely beg to differ. It is a third person shooter with stealth and fun as hell melee...standard stuff....but man I had ridden my bike past a number of zombies on the side of the road...typical stuff in any game that has a vehicle...you can just ride past...which is mostly true....till bam one comes running at me out of no where leaps through the air and tackles me off my bike while I am cruising by....next thing I know I am having to run to get the hell out of there as about 8 are running at me....took a little work and maneuvering to clear them out just to get back to my bike. Then you have the swarms...I happened to come across one where I can hear them, below...I am on a cliff about 40 feet above them thinking I am safe and go to the edge to look down at them......nope, suddenly they all start to agro as they spot me.....and next thing I know they are headed straight off the cliff and I am running for my life again.....good stuff....then don't even get me started on the creepy newts.

    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.
