    It's a really good game despite the critics, the game have some technical problems, some lag when charging new parts of the map and some npcs or objects appearing of nowhere, but asside from all that stuff, days gone have something that makes you keep playing to the end. Having a lot of fund playing this, totally worth it!

All I can say is "wow!". I had such a blast with this game and enjoyed every single minute, even with the few bugs that I encountered along the way. Not to be a fanboi (ok, I guess I am now that I've played it for 55+ hours and love it!) but this is one of those games that can easily be missed by many, especially given the critic reviews. I know others have said it but I have to agree on this: ignore those reviews and listen to other players, and see for yourself! This is the kind of game we've needed for sooooo long. I'm actually sad that I'm done with the story and cannot wait to see the DLC and then (hopefully) a sequel. Bend Studio, please don't take another 6 years to make Days Gone 2! I can't wait that long to see what happens next (no spoilers!!!). Seriously, if you are not sure about this game, just go for it! There's a LOT worse out there right now that received higher critic scores that did not deserve it in my opinion.

    I'd love to write more but I want to get back to the open world of Days Gone, doing more of the side missions (jobs?) and taking down some more hordes! Two thumbs up from me! 10/10 game which is just superb from start to finish!

Lots of love poured into this game. I played on Pro...had a couple of bugs but nothing serious like I've encountered on other games. There was some unusual stutter in the final part of the map for some odd reason though?. I found Days Gone to be a gripping,gritty and well written game. Plenty to do. Great world....good varied missions and solid game design. Visually stunning and top class audio work. Expand

    Gostei bastante do jogo. Claro que não se compara aos jogos incríveis que a sony possui em seu catálog de exclusivos, mas ainda sim é um jogo acima da média, com gameplay e gráficos incríveis. A história do jogo deixa a desejar em muitos aspectos, mas ainda é uma história muito boa e agradável. Vale a pena conferir o jogo!

    Despite a number of frame rate drops while riding the bike & a few technical issues. Days Gone is probably one of the best game experiences I have ever had on the PlayStation 4. Cheers to Sony and Bend Studios for making this game happen.... I’m looking forward to Days Gone 2.

    Don't listen to the so called game journalist reviews. This game it's a near masterpiece in my opinion. The game is very fun,exciting, terrifying, and beautiful all in one. It has a great story that will make you keep coming back for more and a huge open world with many fun things to do.

I think that premise alone is what sold the higher-ups at Sony to release a game like this one despite already having The Last of Us under their belt (it certainly did sell it for me). It left me wanting more by the time I achieved the platinum trophy, and with the dawn of the next generation of video games on the horizon it does make me anxious to see what Sony Bend can do with the next title. (with a bigger team in mind).

    Great game. The story was my main gripe: it wasn't as deep and emotionally gripping as I thought it would be (coming from someone who played TLOU and Telltale's/Skybound's The Walking Dead game Saga among other well written narrative-focused properties) and I did not see the chemistry between Deacon and Sarah. They had little to nothing in common with each other and it was super Hollywood cliché with the whole opposites attract myth. The deeper/genuine interactions were with Rikki and with Boozer, quite ironic since Sarah was Deacon's main goal all along.

    Also that plot point regarding Sarah's research was so predictable throughout the game, that I rolled my eyes upon its uncovering. It felt poorly delivered. It was that Syphon Filter reference (in the background as a collectible in a lab, mind you) that felt like the actual twist to it all (and the final conclusion to the NERO sub plot). I'd like more *crunch* in the follow-up game's narrative. Better context, build-up, development and motivation for one's actions. More tensions, cognitive dissonance and more risk, something that really holds a mirror up to the player and says "This is what your species can be, yet be greatful you are in the safety and comfort of a virtual world." It felt more by-the-numbers Hollywood/superficial in this game than minimalistic/grounded compared to other properties that hold this aura of dread, determination, and tenacious hope.

    Yeah, the game succeeded in leaving me wanting more. More positive than negative. I loved playing the game, very fun and happy to have been a part of it. It can only get better from here if they decide to do a follow-up. It must get better. Bend earned our attention, absolutely.

    I’ll start off by saying Days Gone is a really good game. It’s not perfect. But it’s by no means bad. I just got done getting the platinum and beating all the hordes and really enjoyed my time.

As of this writing it’s currently at a patch of 1.09. 9 updates to a game with in its first few weeks is pretty bad. And figuring critics only got maybe 2-4 of these patches before launch I can understand their gripes. It just sucks it soured their opinions of a game that once fixed is awesome. So who’s to blame for that? Sony? I think the game needed a few more weeks of polish and i think a lot of outlets would have given it a 8-9 or even better. It’s currently my GOTY (though I’m still playing through Sekiro) it’s a very fun game. The characters are very likable especially Decon the main character. Sam Whitwer did a great job making Decon come alive and feel like a real believable person. Even though by the end of the game you can basically be a power house. With in the story he’s just a normal guy. The story is pretty good nothing mind blowing and has some obvious plot points but over all it’s a fairly good tale. I think the combat is pretty good. Once you upgrade and understand how it all works it’s fun and satisfying. Some of the game can get repetitive but honestly what open world game doesn’t. But I never felt annoyed having to do similar quests. I think the game went on a little longer than it should have. I have a few gripes but it’s nothing that really soured my enjoyment. Some gripes are looting. It can be a chore to loot. Having to hold down square and wait a split second sucks. Picking up the wrong things like enemy guns is annoying. Not being able to reliably find the loot you need to make things. Like late game finding bottles and other stuff to make bombs. Some story elements didn’t make sense. There were still a few bugs and frame rate drops but nothing game breaking at least for me. There was one moment where I was fighting a horde and the horde just stopped and I couldn’t attack. But I just moved out of the area and it all went back to normal with no progression loss. That was the worst bug I got and that was literally the last hour of my 100% run. Overall it’s not a perfect game but it’s really really fun. It’s charming and entertaining. And I really hope Bend gets another shot cause Days Gone 2 could really be a hit! And there is def room for more story in this world. If you enjoy really good games. Trust me you’ll like this. Don’t let the media make you pass this one by. Just look at the user scores vs media. Obviously something isn’t clicking between us. Expand

    I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Days Gone, and some of the mixed reviews out there are very surprising, this is in no way a bad game. The combat, melee especially, feels responsive and weighty, reminiscent of The Last of Us, and the gunplay is great.

    Using the motorcycle in game also feels really good, despite taking a little bit of getting used to at the beginning. But the mechanic of having to manage fuel, damage etc is completely in keeping with the tone and direction of the game, and doesn't take away from the experience in any way.

    Of course, there are some issues, and I have experienced several instances of noticeable slowdown on PS4 Pro, especially when riding the bike; as well as a few instances of pop-in while riding around, but nothing anywhere near as bad as some reviewers will have you believe.

    And of course there can be some repetitive missions, but what game in this genre doesn't have that? Far Cry for example doesn't get negative reviews for the many outpost missions, or the Witcher 3 for the millions of fetch quests.

    This is a long game, with plenty to do, however the story is great and really gets you invested, and wanting to see it through to the end, which I would estimate is anywhere between 40-50 hours when taking the time to do side missions etc.

    I would certainly recommend Days Gone, which to me is right up there with the best PS4 exclusives like God of War, The Last of Us, Spider-Man etc, and I'm hoping it does well enough for Sony Bend to develop a sequel, which I'm sure would be even better.

    I have disdain for this game. The first 12 hours are a complete slog. It's a very low quality game compared to PlayStation's typically fantastic exclusives. Its current user score is just denial by a group of people who disliked video reviews of the game before it even game out. This game is a 7 at best.

    Bad graphics, terrible optimization. Boring story, after the middle of the game I think when this is all over. Bad physics and character animation. Zombies are stupid, a lot of restrictions, does not give a flight of fancy. The only thing that amuses is to kill a crowd of zombies, but it gets boring after 30 minutes. Passed the main story, deleted the game.

Very clearly someone who hates this game with passion. 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

    Great graphics. Fun gameplay. Yeah its open world formula. But tell that to Ubisoft who've been making the same game for 12 years. I haven't noticed any graphical issues or sound issues whatsoever on the ps4 pro. Running into a horde for the first time was intense and I just booked it. So fun. It is realistic as well. Your bike brakes and needs gas. Spare parts are everywhere though. SoGreat graphics. Fun gameplay. Yeah its open world formula. But tell that to Ubisoft who've been making the same game for 12 years. I haven't noticed any graphical issues or sound issues whatsoever on the ps4 pro. Running into a horde for the first time was intense and I just booked it. So fun. It is realistic as well. Your bike brakes and needs gas. Spare parts are everywhere though. So your bike is never broken for long. Also random enemy encounters are a blast. Laying trip wires across the road sometimes to clothesline me. Some nice environmental puzzles and good gunplay make for a rewarding experience so far. I like upgrading my bike and guns as well. If it ain't broke don't fix it. And Sony Bend did just that. Give the people what they want. People also shat all over dying light and that was another terrific open world zombie game. Highly recommend. Expand

    Zombie swarms is definitely a new, and the processing power to handle such a thing is quite an incredible feat.

    Well done Sony Bend Studio, you have done a remarkable job;
    Can't wait what they come up with next

    PS: This is one of their first AAA games in years, they deserve the praise/credit just for the effort here, as the game is heavily polished.

    This game shows me again that this whole metacritic scores are irrelevant if the game is just fun for you. I saw the 72 on the score and didnt care. Now i bought a game that i enjoy a lot and cant stop playing it.

    guys, use your own brain and let your own feelings and experience decide if you want to buy it. Or you could miss out on a great title being a ScoreWh*re.

    Game looks great and has lighting on a par with Horizon Dawn, great weather effects too. Sound is used very well to create a spooky atmosphere and the music is hauntingly beautiful at times.

    Stealth combat is smooth and enjoyable. At first I thought it was too easy but, on hard, you get torn to pieces easily if you mess up so I see why they weighted stealth in the players favour.

    Stealth combat is smooth and enjoyable. At first I thought it was too easy but, on hard, you get torn to pieces easily if you mess up so I see why they weighted stealth in the players favour.

    Gunplay is good enjoyable against human opponents but poor against monsters until you upgrade a few things and get a decent automatic weapon. It's possible they wanted the player to initially feel helpless against a rushing group of freakers when you're armed with just a pistol. If so, mission accomplished :s To be honest, I think they wanted the player to deal only with 3-4 freakers at once, max, and to melee them, so don't expect great gunplay versus freakers on 'hard'. The guns have a great feeling of impact and real resonance, with meaty sound effects that echo through the hills and mountain.

    Combat against human opponents allows for many ways to deal with a situation creatively. Bear traps you lure enemies into, stealth, guns blazing, silent crossbow, sniping or a mixture of all. Rarely, you can coax freakers into a bandit camp.

    There are lots of Far Cry type things to do. Clear nests out, upgrades to find etc... Only you know if that's your kind of thing.

    The bike seemed too sensitive at first but I quickly got used to it and I enjoy the feel of it. I like the fact it's a mobile save point too, it's a nice little mechanic that leaves you feeling unsafe when you leave it too far away.

    I'd give an 8.5 if possible and am very pleased with the game, don't listen to the naysayers, or critics who judged it for political/cultural reasons.

This game does not walk you through the story holding your hand. You have to use your brain a little bit. You're not going to face enemies that are out of control difficult, maybe hordes. Hard mode is not really "hard" and the AI should be improved on human enemies. However, if you are looking for a story that is deep, good character development, sweet graphics, and an overall good time, this is it. This is not a Sony classic and will have trouble finding it's way onto a Top 25 PS4 games list. However, it is worth your 30 hours and you will enjoy it! Expand

    Despite all the bugs on launch, this game is pretty darn fun. It feels like an open world "Last of Us" mixed with a little state of decay 2. Story is pretty solid so far (850+ days gone in game).

    The combat is very similar to TLOU but with a lot more fulfilment, the open world is fun to be in, the survival aspects have been balanced amazingly well. You are very rarely flush with resources but it is never hard to find more.

    The bike is a great addition, it feels nice to ride, the upgrades for it are comprehensive enough to not feel like a tacked on feature but not so overbearing as to be offputting. My only gripe is that it runs out of fuel too fast but this is kind of overcome with the ease of obtaining fuel but it is still a bit of a downside.

    Anyone giving this game a score of 4 or less, pull your heads out of your asses. I have read your reasoning for the low scores and I can tell you have not played the game as most of the reasons do not even make sense. Games do not have to re-invent everytime a new franchise comes out, Days Gone has taken a lot from other games but puts enough of its own ideas in to warrant its place on the market.

    A lot of the people giving this low scores are clearly either a) xbox fanboys (heres looking at you
    XboxPlay14) or b) just don't like open world games yet bought it anyway.

    This game is massively misunderstood. The aiming of guns is so refreshing. Hundreds of games just make it easy to snap on and boom bad guy dead. The loose aim is so much more realistic with the added panic the situations evoke.

    I lovd the repair system and the panic that can also cause. The hordes are heart bracingly organic, it just feels so good. Massive world, a fun and intense world,

    Massive world, a fun and intense world, great voice acting by the lead. Just a great game and another

    The reviewers at Gamespot and IGN must've have been playing a different game or they're crazy. It doesn't have the incredible writing of the Last Of Us or the polish of RDR2 but it's an incredibly immersive and most importantly FUN open world zombie game.

I firmly believe that if it weren't a PS4 exclusive, it would have been judged much more fairly and objectively--with so many absolute masterpieces this generation, expectations for a Sony exclusive have gotten a bit unrealistic. If you like single player open world games, you owe it to yourself to give Days Gone a shot. Expand

    so i have spend a few hours in the game already and this is what i see . i am a bit surprised that professional reviewers have put the game so low scores , it might not be the perfect game but i cant believe that anyone could see it as an under 70/100 game . In any case the game might not be as good as the last of us though is a bigger game and it is open world and it also gives you aso i have spend a few hours in the game already and this is what i see . i am a bit surprised that professional reviewers have put the game so low scores , it might not be the perfect game but i cant believe that anyone could see it as an under 70/100 game . In any case the game might not be as good as the last of us though is a bigger game and it is open world and it also gives you a motorbike . It has some spectacular graphics and a really beautiful environment , the gunplay is quite fine and it gives good satisfaction shooting zombies , it also has a fair stealth gameplay . i also can say that on a ps4 pro i have faced 0 bugs until now . Overall is a great game , not the best for sure but still a must for zombie funs and ps4 owners Expand

    The negative reviews for this game have honestly confounded me. If Day's Gone had released a couple years ago I suspect it would have been recieved more positively. But for what it is, I really couldnt recommend this game highly enough. Despite the well worn premise and aesthetics of zombies and bikers, Days Gone pulls it off better than just about any other game Ive played.

But for what it is, I really couldnt recommend this game highly enough. Despite the well worn premise and aesthetics of zombies and bikers, Days Gone pulls it off better than just about any other game Ive played. The closest comparisons i can think of gameplay and presentation wise are Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Last of Us. The gunplay and melee are brutal and satisfying, guns are loud, bright and give a realistic kick, while slicing and clobbering through enemies is bloody and visceral. Aside from that the motorcycle sounds amazing and feels great to ride, the soundtrack is both haunting at times and adrenaline pumping at others, and the MC is a pretty cool dude. Also it looks damn pretty. 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.
