There is little motivation to keep going during the early hours, and you feel a bit underpowered and overwhelmed. Days Gone feels a bit bloated at times and could have used some strong editing or some other way to draw you in sooner. It is true, what you've heard, that the game gets better the more you keep playing. The story really becomes one in which you meet interesting characters in varied locations, and the protagonist, Deacon St. John, reveals layers of depth. This is a true hero's journey, with an arc that will have you invested in his success. There are twists and turns along the way, with reveals and surprises.

    Technically, yes, there are issues. The frame rate tends to drop when you're riding in the open world, and that can become frustrating. I have also experienced several crashes where I had to restart the game. I have found that a full reboot of the console tends to clean out many of the issues, but this shouldn't happen with a first party game. That being said, Days Gone can be exquisitely gorgeous at times. The lighting compliments the detail put into this world, and the cutscenes often have a nice polish to them. The animations of the hordes are a technical achievement that deserve praise. I have often found myself saving clips from my more terrifying encounters. It seems like Sony Bend was just shy of perfecting their vision for Days Gone, and could have used a bit of help on the technical side, but overall this is a very nice looking game.

    Sony Bend nailed the motorcycle. It handles as it should, and considering its your primary mode of transportation, investing in upgrades will offer satisfying payoffs resulting in better handling and speed (and gas milage). Don't be surprised if you find yourself personalizing your bike with tasteful decals or eye-catching colors. Your bike will be a reflection of you and your journey through Days Gone. It never gets old seeing your motorcycle in all its glory in the main menu.

    The combat is also quite satisfying. The melee weapons are crunchy and varied, from a nail-spiked bat to hatchets and axes, and even a saw-blade swinger that will do some serious damage. As far as the guns go, there is a nice selection of assault riffles, pistols, sniper riffles and light machine guns, as well as explosives and Moltovs. You can earn upgrades for your weapons and attach silencers to them for some much needed stealth. You continue to get better weapons as you move through the game, and will be appropriately armed by the time you're facing down the hordes. Pro-tip: You will see hordes earlier in the game. Just run. You aren't ready yet. You will know when it is time to face them head on.

    The character performances are mostly admirable. Deacon can be a bit silly with his grunts and tantrums, and you'll find his reactions are often over the top. But everyone else nails their characters, and Deacon, despite his melodrama, is a character that you might grow to love. He's a ham, but he's earnest, loyal, and dependable. He's a man who has lost everything, searching for something, anything, to keep him from going over the edge.

    Days Gone is truly Sons of Anarchy meets The Walking Dead. It doesn't hit all its marks, but its aim is true. It is unfortunate that Days Gone takes a bit too long to hit its stride, but once it does it offers satisfying gameplay, gorgeous vistas and compelling characters that will see you through to the end of its journey.    … Expand

    This is truly an underrated gem. I followed the game before it came out and played at release and even though we have had a flood of Zombie titiles Days Gone is definitely one of my favorites. The story is decent, the gameplay is fun. The horde mechanics and bike are to much fun.

    For some, the pacing may feel a little slow, and the combat sluggish, but if you're looking to immerse yourself in an interesting and good looking open world game, and you're prepared to commit to pressing on through a long story with just a bit too much busy work, there is a definite payoff in terms of unravelling the mystery of the characters backstories and how the world ended, and some great open world exploration (on hog bikes no less) and combat gameplay to be had.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is really good and before it got released I was waiting for this game to be out for a while, I was probably waiting for a few years. I even put a background from the game to my tablet lol, in case u were wondering yes I do have a phone too but, that's off topic............

    So, yeah everything so far about this game is really good blah blah blah u get the idea, love to splatter zombie brains everywhere, but the crafting stuff yeah.....not my idea of fun but hey.....................whatever, so that's why I give it a 9/10 rating ohhh one more thing that whole dialogue thing that u promised yup that's the other reason why I give it a 9/10 rating so take that lmao.

    For a game I have not beaten yet it is truely a good game, I have heard that this game is a long one too so, yeah I am expecting more to come when I play this game

The game is wonderful, the characters are memorable (this is the first game in my life that I have cried), the quests are good, it´s very similar in many aspects to the last far cry series (open world, skill level, different type of weapons, not too many but good enough, side quests, base cleaning either stealthing or attacking them any way you want, fast travel, crafting etc). At first it´s very difficult but it gets easier but still a challenge. Don´t worry about your bike and gasoline, you will find plenty of it all over the map. One complain is that sometimes is difficult to find the elements you need to craft things, so it becomes sometimes a shore to search for, for example, an alarm you need to make a decoy.

    I have loved this game so much, that as I said, ended a few days ago, played sometime Last of us (a good game, yes, but for me, not as good) and started to play it all over again. I didn´t end all the game because of what I said about getting elements because I have a way to kill hordes where you need some stuff, but the main story gets you, it´s really nice.

    I really recommend this game to anyone who have liked Far cry series, Red Dead Redemption 2 (it may be not as vast as Red, but I like it as much).    … Expand

The graphics look amazing and riding around Oregon can be breathtaking. DG suffers from repetitiveness like most open worlds but I did enjoy doing as much as possible. The story was really well done and it made me really care about the characters. The cons of the game are the frame rate issues drop all the time and can get really bad in some spots. The glitches are common even though they can be hilarious at times.… Expand

    It was really hard for me to find any big flaws. AI is sometimes feels somewhat dumb, when marauders do not see a body under their feet. But, hey, have you ever saw perfect implementation of AI in an open-world game? Not me.
    Can I reproach the devs of this game of anything else? I do not think so. They did a great job - created a huge beautiful world, filled with tons of freakers, other survivals and animals and wrote a decent plot.
    They did not break a new ground of course. But who said they would? They just created a good game which will keep you busy for many days or even weeks.
    Yes, there were a lot of bugs on release. But devs immediately straightened out and fixed all the game's technical flaws. And now it looks and plays excellent! They keep enhancing and supporting it, unlike many other devs, who do not have any desire to fix what they screwed up (yes, I am talking about Spyro's Reignited Trlogy's frame pacing issue and RDR 2 problem with checkerboarding on PS4 Pro).
    DG works well on Pro. I have not noticed any frame drops or any glitches. Everything in this game works and looks fine.
    So, apart from some minor issues, like black screen, dividing cut-scenes and actual gameplay, or too long initial loading, I can not say anything bad about this game. So it's 9/10 for me. Not a revelation, but definitely not a failure.    … Expand

Gamespot said Deacon is boring because he's selfish and he gets away with it (paraphrase). What's wrong with a selfish character if there are unselfish ones to balance him?

    Parabéns a Bend Stutio e que venha Days gone 2 para o choro dos caixistas.

    Days Gone a me è piaciuto molto, la prima cosa che colpisce è la grafica molto ben fatta, con i modelli dei protagonisti credibili e cura nei dettagli. Anche il gameplay e la storia fatti bene. Ci sono molti colpi di scena ed è carina anche la gestione della moto e dei campi. Consigliato!

    Never had too many bug issues myself early on, current state is fine though (outside of some slightly jarring yelling and conversations). Thoroughly enjoyed this game, in the beginning I was having fun and the deeper i got the more i was hooked. At some point it just keeps getting better. Great job Sony Bend on the first big console exclusive!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Days Gone is something of a spectacle. With an open world at the precipice of a “freaker” apocalypse, you step into the shoes of Deacon St. John, nomad biker turned “drifter.” At first, he seems one-sided and uninteresting. However, over the course of the 40+ hour campaign, ad character focuses shift, you’ll understand Deacon’s pathology and come to appreciate the satisfying world that is Days Gone. However, I recommend getting every new update, the game at launch is super buggy but I believe that the story work and satisfying gameplay are worth it.… Expand

    This is the first game I've ever taken the time to review.

    My reasoning behind this is because it deserves better than it got and I'm glad the user base is giving it a better score than the main reviewers.

    This was a masterfully put together game and if it had a couple less bugs I would have rated it a 10/10.

    The pros:
    A compelling story with characters you care about.
    Immersive world that draws you in and wanting to learn more about it.
    A complete game you don't need to buy add ons in order to complete it.
    I do not want to add any spoilers so I wont however each time I thought I was near the end of the game, let's just say I wasn't.

    The cons:
    Buggy at times - There are occasional bugs that make you redo quests for it to count or go off to another area so the triggers reset and spawn properly.
    Different experience depending on which version of the playstation you own, it's an intense game more designed for the pro and it can experience frame loss pretty badly on the standard version

    Other than those 2 cons this is the first game of this size and scope that has caused me to stay compelled to continue playing it through to the end. I've also never posted an online review before, however i really wanted to let people know that as a father of four that doesn't have much opportunity to dedicate my time to some games I love anymore, this was a game that made me find that time. I even bought god of war and spiderman after playing it and instead of starting a game of those after I beat it I started a new game on Survival mode because that was released XD.

    Hope this helps anyone that was on the fence about giving it a chance.    … Expand

While It’s definitely not without its technical issues...the story, combat, world absolutely make up for it, plus the motorcycle is a joy. It’s a bit of a slow burner at first, but once you pass that 10-12 hour milestone it really picks up.

    Отличная игра, неожиданно для меня переродилась из "корявеньких" трейлеров в игру которуя я прошёл всего лишь процентов на 35 и уже хочу переиграть чтобы увидеть этот увядающий мир, управлять байком, насладиться неторопливым сюжетом. Вся мировая пресса поливает игру грязью просто так - не нравиться игра без афро-американцов, главный герой не сильная и независимая женщина и т.д...Такого бреда начитаешься, что волосы на коже встают. В отсутствии The Last of Us 2 - эта игра мне её даже немного заменяет. Возможно с выходом TLOU2 моё мнение немного может измениться, но как самостоятельное произведение Days Gone для меня встал на голову выше Horizon и Detroit.

Vai muito mais além do que um "The Last of Us de mundo aberto". Os personagens são todos incríveis e carismáticos. Já sou fã doNão entendi porquê a critica deu avaliações ruins para esse jogo.

    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.
