    Great game. Definitely deserves a higher score. Only shortcomings were the glitches and bugs for me. Pros were the gameplay which is very fun. If you like open world and zombies you will absolutely love this game. This like L4D but open world and the crafting is similar to The Last Of Us.

    Tension is always high when you're outside even though everything seems peaceful you do not know if you're going to get attacked. This is starting to be my favorite zombie game, there's so many different ways you can take down the zombies, no two scenarios are always the same thus there is a huge replay value in my eyes.    … Expand

    Days Gone is a beautiful open world game, with decent combat and free roaming gameplay. It's not perfect by any stretch, but holds its own amongst other open world games with ease.

    The shooting was awful for the first half of the game but it gets better with upgrades! The pistols suck though, I mean really, they suck. The aiming reticle for the pistols are awful and I've noticed that pistols and crossbows can sometimes aim off to the sides of the reticle.

    Except for those things, I've enjoyed this game lots and lots! I found it more enjoyable and less forced upon me than The Last of Us.
    The open-world formula kind of reminds me of Red Dead Redemption 2 but with a bike. I enjoyed this world more though, but if it has to do with actually being better or personal preference, I don't know.

I have not seen one negative review that is even close to accurate. Trust me when I say that you should take those bad reviews with a grain of salt. This game is very impressive, and you definitely should not read IGN or Gamespot's reviews.

    I OWNED A MOTORCYCLE FOR 6 YEARS, I got 54 Miles Per Gallon. Can someone please explain how I get barely a mile per gallon in this game?
    It's very much like a rail shooter sometimes. Extremely linear. To the point that lots of game play is forced down your throat.

    It's very much like a rail shooter sometimes. Extremely linear. To the point that lots of game play is forced down your throat.
    - Motorcycle handling is horrible, and why does it take me so long to get on my bike and go. I can get on my bike in real life quicker than this
    - Why can't I skip these LONG and drawn out (walk with fellow character) interactions? What if I don't want to walk with this character and hear what they have to say, or what if I already went through it once and don't feel like having to go through it again? Why can't I skip these?
    - The (Save) dynamics are broken. I don't understand. Why can't I save whenever and wherever I want? Believe it or not, the save issues are A BIG DEAL. I found myself being automatically saved at various instances before I had a chance to collect needed items or ammo, then I died because I wasn't able to collect needed items or ammo. And when the game loaded up again, it started me feet away from a boss in the same situation, again without ammo or items that I needed. If I don't want to fight the boss at the moment, and want to get items instead it will warn me that I am leaving the mission area, stop the game, and literally force me back to where I just was.
    - Why does this game force me to push forward, even if I don't want to or am not ready? Need Items? Better no progress, because if you die it will relentless force you right back into the same situation. I remember I got to a certain point in the game, and then a boss popped up I was not expecting. I did not have the ammo or equipment I needed and the game would not let me go back. If I tried, it told me I was leaving the mission area, then started me right back where I was trying to leave from. I just ended up just restarting at a much older (saved game point) and had to do many things all over again.
    - The game play, is somewhat broke. My motorcycle crashed and fell into a river at the same time. I needed to repair the motorcycle before I could use it again, but the game wouldn't let me repair it because you're not allowed to repair a motorcycle that is in water. Wait, what? Well, what am I supposed to do then? I crashed and my bike happened to be in the water, the game tells me to repair it to continue, then the games tells me I can't repair it. But the game also wont let me sit on the bike to move it and for some unknown reason the most basic aspect of owning a bike (pushing it) you aren't able to do in this game. Why?
    - Go to the area, reach certain point, thing happens, cannot progress or move forward until after thing is completed.
    - The game forces certain events to take place, even though many (most in fact) are completely avoidable in real life. There was a situation where I needed to escape an area. There was a rock no higher than a car that if it were in real life, I would simply climb over the car sized rock and be out of the camp area. But this game forced me to go through about 20 minutes of nonsensical (kill the bad guy, progress forward) rather than hopping over the rock.
    - Also, what is with the (Community Trust) earnings? Can someone explain to me how I can go into a cave full of zombies, then save an entire community multiple times while everyone else stands around behind the gates, run errands, save multiple people and kill countless bad guys and zombies, but my trust still not be at the max level?

    The game is broke and or down right nonsensical. Forced interactions, forced rail shooter like game play, little freedom of movement after forced scenarios and situations occur, horrendous game save issues, trust apparently cannot be earned in the game even if you save entire communities, you cannot push your bike. YOU CANNOT PUSH YOUR BIKE.    … Expand

    I want this for PC so badly, i love this game, but it would work so, so, so much better on PC. There could be even bigger hordes and framerate wouldn't go below 30. Right now even when driving framerate can go very low on regular ps4. I guess it's perfectly playable on PS5 now, but even then, on PC they could make graphics even better and 60fps or more would be amazing.

    It seems strange to place a game like this on the market with TLoU 2 so nearby on the horizon, but this seems to be a zombie game for those who didn't get their zombie checklist marked off by the structured, narrative-heavy Naughty Dog franchise and who haven't yet had open world fatigue set in. Striking a balance between the introspective of TLoU and the gameplay focus of games likeIt seems strange to place a game like this on the market with TLoU 2 so nearby on the horizon, but this seems to be a zombie game for those who didn't get their zombie checklist marked off by the structured, narrative-heavy Naughty Dog franchise and who haven't yet had open world fatigue set in. Striking a balance between the introspective of TLoU and the gameplay focus of games like World War Z, Left 4 Dead and Dying Light, It has a narrative focus, but much of it is just set-dressing for a surprisingly ambitious playground in which to ride your motorcycle, kill zombies and loot, loot, loot.

    Therein lies Days Gone's biggest strength, and its greatest weakness: it's chock-full of content, so much so that like every gameplay-driven open-world game, grind and repetition are practically unavoidable, and your enjoyment will boil down to how much of the world-building you can enjoy and how much of the grind you can handle. Motorcycle mechanics are a treat, checkpoints are fair but not exploitative, and the Hard difficulty setting is surprisingly well-balanced, making it an excellent game for people who want a surmountable challenge but not an insurmountably unforgiving testament to skill. Building trust with camps is a little more impersonal than it should be, and this is where much of the grind originates from considering much of the game's 'credit' economy is based around it, but while it may not be especially compelling, I can't fault it for not being efficient and streamlined: turning in items to Bounties and Kitchens and turning it around to Mechanic merchandise is an interesting way to keep shop progression balanced, and it works

    Developed on UE4, a rare shift away from Sony's usual in-house engines, Days Gone isn't exactly full of bells and whistles, but it performs at a respectable 30 fps with incredibly rare dips (even during Horde sections), and most notably, its use of shadows is top-notch, and with a Pro is best experienced utilizing the full effects of an HDR display. Load times can be far less-than-respectable though, so this deserves special mention. It uses checkerboard rendering to achieve 4K visuals, so the visuals and textures are more crisp than early Alpha footage would have led people to believe.

    The Pacific Northwest setting of Oregon is a rare setting in games, but not one that makes for especially creative design opportunities, so if you're expecting much more than North American rainforests, I wouldn't get my hopes up here. But if you're looking for a zombie game that can keep you engaged with lots of mechanically-sound open-world gameplay, this is the best title you're going to find    … Expand

    If you enjoyed Last of US, Uncharted or the narrative of red dead you will like this game. It is not quite as polished and you'll find some annoying technical glitches but after a few hours the story and characters really bring you into the world. Honest solid 8 out of 10 and i would strongly support this studio and their future plans based on this product.

    Days Gone On Damage Control Of A Garbage Game.
    You don't have to be a genius to see how many reviews are fake, alot of insults towards the critics of the game regardless how hard they tried to find positive sides to this junk. Too bad it looks like creators of this game seem to be just as good at programing bots as they're at making games because some bots did an oopsie and posted    Days Gone On Damage Control Of A Garbage Game.

    This is probably the definition of redundant crap, plot about the outbreak and blah,blah blah zombies happening has been done dozens of times before, some devs put some humour in their games despite serious plot and gave us some likeable characters as well as they gave us some interesting way the game is played. Days Gone has none of those things, the protagonist is a boring douchebag you would expect in some low budget movie, because that's the only place i can see someone like him surviving even two days, the other characters are literal planks, it's likely you'll forget about them within minutes.Voice acting and narrative are both crap.
    Gameplay wise well where do i even began, they had all triple A game mechanics right in there hands but they implemented them so poorly you could give this game to some college students and they could implement them better than devs. The game itself is obviously State of Decay rip-off with quality of a app store rip-off game, there's dozens upon dozens of bugs, falling under the map happens more often than "big"(as big as a rat) hordes, constant framerate drops, crashing the console and dozens of questionable things happening. They tried to fix those things with tons of patches but they ended up causing the game to get worse.
    I could get more entertaiment from painting a wall and atleast it wouldn't borderline mess up my console.

    Oh my - what can I say?

    Firstly - I LOVE post-apocalyptic games, and Zombies add even more love to that mix for me - so Days Gone ought to be right up my alley... It's not.

    Firstly - I LOVE post-apocalyptic games, and Zombies add even more love to that mix for me - so Days Gone ought to be right up my alley...

    It's not.

    Purchased digital on release day, only because someone had a code going for £35 - so I decided to take a punt; else I would have waited. Prior to this purchase, I had loosely followed the release, and watched a few videos; what I saw was a little bit of a let-down, but I held out hope that this would be a decent survival game.

    How wrong I was.

    Firstly, I hate Deacon St John - that might be a tad strong I know, but I don't care whether he lives or dies, whether his wife is alive or dead, or anything he has to say really. He's a completely dislikeable character, soulless in fact, and has a VERY ANNOYING habit of mumbling to himself incessantly!

    So with this dislike of the main character, the game is already off on a back foot for me - but I hold out hope that having a motorcycle to tool around on, might add a bit to the game - erm, it does and doesn't. It's kindof nice having something to get around on quickly, even if it is a Hardley Davidson wannabe bike, but with the fuel economy of a Spitfire, it soon becomes a chore to keep topping it up.

    The 'freakers' (don't call them zombies!!!) are dumb, they often follow a couple of patrol routes, and even on hard, they aren't a challenge in smaller groups - that changes when you have a horde mind you - but even then, it's just a battle of home many resources you have mainly.

    The enemy AI on the other hand - not only are they almost as dumb as the freakers, but they also have x-ray vision, night vision, and assault rifles that are as accurate as a sniper rifle! Unless they have patched this, then they have created some kind of super soldiers, maybe the devs were fans of Universal Soldier or something?

    The game does look pretty though, I'll give it that, and a lot of what you'll be doing is just riding through this lovely looking landscape - conducting rinse and repeat tasks and chores.

    I'm struggling to actually write anything else about this game really - considering it's a flagship title, occupying the same shelf as Uncharted and Last of Us, it is way off the mark in terms of quality and enjoy ability.

    4/10 at best for me - I'd urge people to grab this second hand, or for £15-20.    … Expand

    It's fun to collect things in the open world. Close combat mechanics are working well. Motorcycle use is realistic and fun. BUT storytelling is not good. Standby screens are long in PS4. Missions aren't interesting. Cutscenes are boring. AS A RESULT, Days Gone could be one of the best games of this generation if Sony Bend Studio had been a little more time. Days Gone is a good game but not enough.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, when I played this game it was a bit of a letdown.

    There were several things that I didn't enjoy about this game mainly being: Deacon, the development of characters, and the oh so many glitches.

    In regards to Deacon, I just found that he could be an extremely unlikeable protagonist. I can understand where he is coming from, and why he acts the way he does, but sometimes his decisions just go far past my line of logic. Being that we play as Deacon, he is the one character who we will grow the most attached to, and arguably our protagonist is always the one character we enjoy the most. However, I found myself disagreeing with Deacon in many situations, along with the way he treats other characters. Late in the game, when you have to rescue Manny, who was kidnapped from Copeland's camp, Deacon at first refuses to help Cope out, stating that it's none of his business. He only decides to help once Cope says that Manny has been kidnapped, which sparked another issue. Deacon makes decisions without the input of the player, and there are not many situations in which you can actually decide what Deacon does. One of these decisions is rescuing people from freakers, for example. However, this input from the player directly contrasts Deacon's character as he goes from helping strangers in one moment, to refusing to help in another. The difference is that in one case the player has the choice, and in the other Deacon calls all the shots. This leaves Deacon feeling incomplete, as you can't make Deacon the kind of protagonist you want him to be, which may cause you to dislike him. Finally, he doesn't get much of a character ark. He starts off as a bit of a dick, and even after finding Sarah, he still continues to act like a dick. It's unsatisfying when a character pursues something, and after pursuing that thing and getting it, the character doesn't change, as if they would be fine without them. His pursuit of Sarah also goes to show his odd actions, as one day he goes to burn the church they got married in to forget about Sarah, and the next he is going down into Militia territory hoping she's alive. He can make very rash decisions, which he pays no mind to in the future, which adds on to why I don't like him as my protagonist.

    Next, the character development of the people we meet feels a bit lacklustre. To summarize, it's incredibly obvious that Skizzo will betray you and Colonel Garrett is kindy crazy and will probably be the final enemy. Due to this, I was thinking that it was so obvious that Skizzo would betray us that maybe the Developers would've tried something interesting and made him be a hero, or at least not be as shady as he came off. But nope, they didn't do that, and almost anyone could see his betrayal coming from a mile away, making his betrayal very underwhelming. For the Colonel, it was also obvious that he was crazy, and that we would have to face him at some point. What I didn't consider was that we, in fact, wouldn't face him and that there wouldn't even be a final boss. We killed Skizzo by mashing a button, which was also pretty pathetic, but we don't get any fight against Colonel. This leaves an empty feeling, making you wonder "Is this it?" when you see the Colonel die due to the poison Sarah puts in his tea. A final note would be Iron Mike. He tries to be a pacifist, but we see that that line of thinking doesn't work. It takes him until he is at his death bed to realize that he was wrong, which is an incredibly underwhelming end to an otherwise likeable character. I was expecting him to save Deacon when he fought the Militia by saying "screw it!" to his pacifist ways and having a fistfight with the Colonel. But nope to that as well. Who cares if Deacon can get shot by a sniper rifle several times and still stand, this guy can get shot once and die. However, I will give them points for changing things up. It's been a while since I've played a game that has managed to lower my expectations as I played, and lower them even further due to the lack of action. I was so hyped when I approached the end of the game, thinking "oh man there's going to be an awesome boss fight!". Nope. There, in fact, wasn't a boss fight, like they had done earlier in the game, and instead, everything just ends and that's kind of just it.

    My last note would be glitches. Had glitches been the only issue, this would've gotten an 8 from me. However, when you have a game that is passed off as finished, when there are still many glitches in it, some more obvious than others, you cannot excuse them. Some glitches were fine. Bike clipping into a truck bed? No problem. Doing some weird voodoo magic with throwables causing the game to glitch out? Not fine. It was my first horde in highway 97. I threw a Molotov, some died, I then couldn't fire my gun, and they all diss engaged from me. This left me free to stealth kill 3/4 of a horde because they wouldn't acknowledge me.

    Overall this game was pretty bad.    … Expand

    Finally finished the game spending roughly 50 hours on the Story including side missions. Such a great game.

    Finally finished the game spending roughly 50 hours on the Story including side missions. Such a great game. Visuals look good, although frames tend to drop every now and then especially when tackling 500 + zombie hordes. Game can also be buggy at times but not game breaking.

    Sound is excellent, guns really sound impactful especially the .50 cal sniper you get towards the end and the LMG plowing through a large horde. Love the music, you can tell when danger is lurking by the music picking up in volume and intensity.

    All the 'pro' reviewers criticising the protagonist that he's dull and there's no character progression throughout the game. I agree, but that's what Deacon is. A what you see is what you get badass mercenary. You get a short glimpse of his change before and after the disaster. Love his one liners. Voice acting is good not great, you get Deacon sounding calm then hysteric the next sentence.

    The world is a very realistic setting of southern Oregon with real areas like Crater Lake and Wizard Island. A lot of mixture of terrain from forests, desert and snow. Weather changes and affect things like sound. It is easier to sneak up on a camp when a thunderstorm is happening. Day and night cycles also affect you plan of attacks. There are a lot of activities in the open world and LOTS of zombies, infected animals and bad people to kill. I find the open map much busier to similar games like RDR 2.

    The whole game really revolves around Deacon's bike. You can only save (apart from autosave) your game when your near your bike. It is your getaway when **** hits the fan hordes etc. Your ammo replenisher when you are going on a killing spree and your fastest way of getting around the massive map.

    Once you've completed the game and get access to the highest tier of weapons, traps and bombs, you are ready to tackle the Hordes. There are 50 hordes available once you've finished the game, you actually do 3 in the main story. It involves planning and having the right guns for the job (you wouldn't bring your sniper rifle) for this one. Don't want to say anymore but you gotta prep and study the areas and the LMG is your best friend.

    Overall, can't figure out why they scored this less than a 8. Probably the reviewers are all SJWs having a cry about certain things but this game really delivers to story and gameplay. Bugs and glitches stopped me from giving it a 10 but hopefully be ironed out with a few updates.    … Expand

    I was originally excited to play this game, but after playing a few hours of the game I was bored out of my mind. The gameplay mechanics were decent, but the overall story was utter trash. This story was very predictable and didn't get you invested in the character at all. You know when it's a bad game when it takes away your desire to play games for 3 months.

    Glitches and bugs dominate the game even after well over a year.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Compared to other games from Sony, Days Gone felt like a let down. Sure the world feels big but its also very empty. Many of the characters are just not likable, make poor choices and lack backstory overal. For example the person "Jack" is apparantly an very important character for Deacon, however we never see him at all in the entire story. Where do the rippers come from? Why are they cutting themselfs? How did the virus spread so far so fast? Why didn't the govermant do anything? I mean if deacon can kill 300 zombies on his bike, shouldnt a tank be able to do alot more? Nothing makes sense. The main bad guy never tells his reasons for trying to murder other camps.

    The only thing that I do like in the game is the one horde battle which is shown in the trailer. However the ps4 has a lot of trouble to proces all that action, which causes the horde to stop moving at all. Overal I am disapointed with what I got.    … Expand

    Wow, the critics really got it wrong with this one.. held off buying initially, but after it went on sale for $40 I decided to give it a chance. About 10 hours in, and loving it..wish I would have gotten it sooner.

    I think this game can win in “the worst PS4 exclusive” category. I was so disappointed by this game when I started playing it on the first day of release. And I even preordered some some of special edition within a metal box. As someone said already for me it was the last time that I preordered a game.

I’m not ranking the game because of initial bugs (though they fixed it) but because of the boredom this game brings to you living room. The storyline is so lame, characters are not interested at all and don’t have any personality, cutscenes is one of the creepiest part of the game. I never saw it before (well maybe in some 15 and older y.o. games) how the cutscene start in the middle of action, without any transition and in totally different place and then you have a 5 second action time and there’s yet another unnecessary cutscene to say a 1 or 2 non-related to game lines. The world is all the same. You do a repetitive task which is not satisfying at all. You have your strange behaved motorcycle which you can upgrade for no one knows what reason, animations are dumb and the list continues. For me it was a bigger game disappointment for PS4 especially because of all the adds and hype that we’re created around it.… Expand

    Days Gone is a really well-written open-world zombie game. Character development is one of the bests I've seen in a video game for a long time and it feels like how an official The Walking Dead game should be.

    I don't understand all of the high user scores for this game. While this is not a bad game it isn't a good game either. There are numerous technical issues such as the motorcycle driving straight through road instead of on it. The fighting is nothing special. Most of the guns are useless, or just unnecessary. Aiming is worthless until you get a through upgrades. Taking cover is also made into a difficult process. My least favorite thing about this game is how the money is split between camps. If you don't have money in the area with the motorcycle shop or the gunsmith it becomes almost useless, I found myself fast traveling to unnecessary places just so I could by ammo or fill up my bike. The story is all right, but is ruined by the most cliched **** ever in Skizzo who should really just be named "Sketch". All the other characters are either complete ****s, really stupid, or a combination of both. Hordes are the bright spot of this game, but even that is greatly diminished with a tiny stamina bar, and in inability to get far enough away from hordes to hit them with a molotov without lighting yourself on fire. Then there is all the collecting of items just to make items like pipe bombs and super Molotovs can be a pain in the ass. You cannot buy crafting ingredients, and you can't hold much until later upgrades. The bike has an incredibly small gas tank, especially at the beginning you will be spending all your money on gas. Motorcycle fights are very boring and kinda annoying. There is an entire quest line dedicated to listening to N.E.R.O officers while hiding in bushes. Never get to far from your bike by the way, because it is your fast travel. You need to constantly hop back on your bike to make sure you don't wander to far away from it.

    In conclusion, I am not a hater like some of you people giving 10/10 are saying. I went into this game knowing nothing about it, and hoping for a good time. By the time I finished I was incredibly frustrated with the game, and especially the stupid ending. Nothing special ever happens in this game. The hordes are the brunt of the zombies, most enemies are just other bikers. Poor shooting ,and melee weapons break very quickly. Everyone drives a bike literally everyone and they also all have a biking background somehow. I mean I guess bikers are better equipped to handle zombie apocalypse aka Daryl Dixon. This is not a 10/10 game anybody who says so must have a bias, because the bugs alone should be enough to not down at least to a 9. I my opinion this is a mediocre game that is not worth a 60 plus dollar purchase. If you want to play it wait for a sale at least, because really this game is incredibly mediocre    … Expand

    I've been a gamer as long as I can remember and being a 37 year old and having a young child I am picky on what games I get to spend my time on now. This did not disappoint. I've taken my time with it. I've enjoyed it and it will be one I play again. Definitely in my top 5 games. Sure it has slight bugs but what game doesn't. And they are working hard constantly to rectify these bugs.I've been a gamer as long as I can remember and being a 37 year old and having a young child I am picky on what games I get to spend my time on now.

    One of the best game 2019.
    Beautiful world. Great graphic and sound. Dragged but you don't want to leave this game especially if you love zombie game. Satisfy if you can kill all the large zombie. Story wise is good.

    Just bought this game after the horror of the TLOU2. Love it. It may be buggy but the story is epic. The story tells us about hope, love,friendship, brotherhood, loyalty and much more. Memorable Game.

    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

    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.
