    Jogo muito bom, gráficos excelentes, pena que a Bend Studios lançou com tantos bugs, mas felizmente estão consertando e está ficando ainda melhor do que já era.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 8.5 FOR ME! Just done playing this game on HARD mode and now I moved on to Survival mode. Its a blast! I will go over a few things below:

    PACING - I don't see why people found issues with this? At first I was feeling overwhelmed by the amount of content, side-missions and basics of every new region that unlocks. But thanks to the 'slow' start, I understood so much about the game right at the start that was very helpful in learning how the game functions. It gives a base understanding of the mechanics such as what you unlock from clearing ambush camps, what you get by burning nests and what happens from activating NERO points. I never really had any issues with the pacing of the game. If you just want to beat it for the sake of it, YES, the game is slow but then its not even fun.

    STORY/PERFORMANCE - Overall, the story is good. It gets better as the game goes on and it has some really unexpected plot twists which work out well. The secret ending(s) setup perfectly for the sequel and some speculations as well. I will say that the game lacked the performance or effort from certain characters and sometimes Deacon and a few others didnt sound/act natural or came out polished but overall I am satisfied. Nothing great in performance but nothing average either.

    GAMEPLAY - Ok, first of, you don't get to fight the hordes right off the bat and that sucks. I hope that in the next game, they at least give you a back seat at horde fights; watching a bunch of people from each camp/region take out a horde in unity so it feels like this can't be done alone, only to do the hordes alone at later stages of the game. Being an open-world game, I really found it interesting and strategic as to how I should deal with certain situations. Customizing and Flexibility was well placed here. You can take out enemies in a handful of different ways and those ways can then be done with different weapons. The game allows you to Fast Travel between major checkpoints (except survival mode) which is a plus as you may not be the one who likes to ride your bike that much. The time of the day and weather impacts are very creative of the studio and I am hoping that they expand upon it in the next game, not sure how but the studio is welcome to surprise us. I am not a huge fan of shooting games and don't know much about the mechanics so I will just say the shooting aspect seemed ok to me. The human AI, however, is extremely dumb in stealthy situations and I hope it gets fixed.

    TECHNICALITIES - Ok this is where the negatives are, most of them. The game still drops frames (patch 1.30) towards the end part of it. And that becomes consistent. There are glitches and bugs in it. Are they game-breaking? Well I only encountered 2 or 3 being game-breaking. One where a tough enemy was stuck and I could cheese kill him by exploiting the glitch. Another where I couldn't access my inventory which stopped me from completing a mission. And maybe another here or there that wasn't that game-breaking but kind of vital. They can all be fixed by rebooting the game/console. If you don't play for more than 2-3 hours per sitting, you won't really encounter most of these bugs. But still, they are annoying at times and can make you rage.

    OVERALL - Overly satisfied with the game and can't wait for the sequel!    … Expand

I'd give it a 9 because no game is perfect but it has gave me sooo many hours of fun and you can feel the hard work putted on this game. Also time to time they add patches that improve the game experience.

    This is a really good game, with a few minor letdowns. Story is good and realistic, music is fitting, gameplay is balanced and more or less lasts well the whole game. Hordes is really fun to kill. It's too shame that they're refusing to make a sequel, that game deserves it, and I really look forward to see it.

    The story while a bit of a slow mover initially is one that will soon have you gripped and wanting to push on to see what lies around the corner. You can tell a lot of time and thought went into Deacons past and present alongside that of the supporting cast who all have a little bit of baggage from the apocalypse. The voice acting is believable and really does feel like all who were attached this game put in their all to create this great spectacle.
    Some of the side missions feel very similar in their core but the way the world around comes to life the fun thing can be taking a camp down in so many ways, stealth, all guns blazing, use the horde or even the wildlife to add some spice to how you play the game.
    Combat is a simple over the shoulder 3rd person view and is simple to use both whether using range or melee weaponry. There are all manor of hand guns, msgs, rifles etc. plus the crossbow, lots of melee weapons of which some can be played around with and upgraded for greater damage and durability.

    Overall I would say it is a solid 9 out of 10 and very much worth your time and money to dive deep into the Oregon wilderness. I honestly feel that any negative reviews are from people who didn't get deeper into the game where the story opens up alongside other great new gameplay mechanics and areas which can only be accessed through progression.

Like many others say, you start out really weak, weak weapons, your gas tank can't hold much, bike is not very fast, but as you progress through the game, slowly but surely you become almost a powerhouse of sorts and can speed all over, use fast travel, your weapons do much more damage... I actually thought the game was a little too easy near the end when you have more skills and better weapons. The beginning of the game is what many people don't really enjoy and I think it was necessary because it's a struggle at first as it should be, I found myself stealth killing many of the zombies and felt really tense, the more powerful you get, the less scared you are. The hordes are AMAZING. There are over 30 hordes near the end of the game, most of which are optional, but they are so much fun. Some of them are smaller but the larger ones were truly epic. You'll occasionally see bears/zombies/deer/wolves/people fighting each other. There's nothing like trying to fight off an ambush camp only to see it overrun by zombies and letting the zombies do the work for you. Game is awesome! I'd give it an 8.4… Expand

Despite all the games painful technical issues and clunky mechanics such as its gunplay, I still found Days Gone’s story to be great filled with memorable moments and set pieces. I found that whatever way the game wanted you to feel you felt it, if the game wanted you to feel anger I did, feel, happiness I did. Even though the mission design sometimes felt very repetitive I feel as it didn’t deviate away from the story line, it all ties in. It has some spectacular set pieces, visuals and characters and their relationship with the protagonist which is why I hold it in such high praise, that and for many other things I give it the 9/10 and Willis highly recommend if you haven’t already, to play this game trust me since it’s release about a year ago it has come a long way… Expand

    Days Gone is one of the best games I have played in the past 2 generations. I saved the in-game plus just to be able to play it on the PS5 & once again it didn't disappoint. This is the zombie game we all deserved and ranks up there with Dying Light in my book and in many ways it's way better. Love this game!

    8.5. At its core, Days Gone is about hope and determination when everyone and everything is telling you to give up and move on, and that's what defines and drives Deacon St. John throughout a very good story that takes place in an open-world that is very diverse and fun to travel and engage in outside of its sub-par first act.

    The story starts out slow with choppy cutscenes that are too short to provide any substance. The Lisa storyline does a good job of defining Deacon, but the Boozer storyline does not go anywhere meaningful in a long and drawn out first act. This along with poor shooting mechanics (which doesn't make any sense since Deacon is ex-military) and having to refuel your bike so much made for an experience that for a below average experience at first......Then, the story really starts to pick up in the southern part of the map and this is when the game slowly starts to shine as upgrades to your bike and your character make the game much more bearable and the themes of the narrative start to come to light. Deacon becomes much more likable throughout the game and the strong supporting cast does an outstanding job fleshing out his character.

    There were some narrative failures such as the ending of the Ripper storyline which could've been so much more interesting as a conflict comes up is solved almost immediately and doesn't matter for the rest of the game, but overall everything else contributed to the narrative and Deacon's journey.

    The best aspect of this game is the world. The dynamic weather system along with how the freakers act depending on time of day and the current weather lead to unique gameplay scenarios unlike any other open world game. This world will really come for you and it was blast to take it on! The story benefited from this as it did a great job utilizing the world to tell its story.

    Overall, the game starts slow and stagnant but gets better as Deacon character develops. Its a shame that the gaming media set out to crucify this game. Although its not a groundbreaking narrative, its a very memorable experience with a fun and dangerous open world and a very likable main character whose journey is very inspirational.    … Expand

In particular I disliked the opening 5 hours or so. Your character is very weak, your bike (your only mode of transport) is in bad shape and you just don't have the firepower to survive most encounters with the infected or hostiles.

    But heres the thing: Keep going! It gets so much better once you upgrade that bike and get some real guns and explosives. The story gets progressively more interesting as well. Like I said you gotta invest for this game to get good.    … Expand

    Worse graphics, worse gameplays and way too many cutscenes. Also a little bit all over the place story-wise.
    The only thing I liked was the stealthiness (not the best, but still great in this game). I'm about 25 hours in and I Can't wait to finish it so I can move on to something else.

    I'm sure people have noticed my comments on the outset of the game's release of the game, and I decided to keep it instead of refunding it for a preorder on the new Pokemon because it's been a long time since there has been a "quality" zombie game like this one. (State of Decay 2 was just a copy of SoD 1 IMO from what I've seen of streamers playing it, never finished 1). I put the "quality" in quotes here because initially, this game did not seem to be "quality" to me. The beginning of the story was disjointed, I had no idea what the **** was going on, etc. Tbh, if they would have made the beginning of the game playable in any point, that would have hooked me more.

    Like escorting Sarah to the chopper (during that first scene that was what I expected to happen, I do really believe that that was cut from the game) or something to that effect, to get people to care more about those characters from the outset. However, that was not what happened, thus, it took me far longer to identify and have empathy for these characters.

    However, I have now played about 35 hours of the game over the weekend and have about 800 days gone in the game (I don't know if this is an "arbitrary number" or not to be honest) and I have to say, after dealing with a lot of the events in the game, I am so emotionally invested in the game. I'm trying to leave spoilers out, but people can probably guess what happens to Boozer spoiler, and the resulting story-line from that has made me actually CARE about saving Boozer (I highly doubt the game lets you skip story-lines to the point that Boozer would die or something, but the game makes you feel like that'll happen if you don't get it taken care of).

    That's another thing is that upon my initial hour and a half foray into the game, I did not care for Deacon and Boozer. Like, I just did not care who these people were, and why they were there, how they got there, etc, due to the beginning of the game. That's not really how I wanted to phrase it, but close enough. But now after almost 48 hours in the game, I stop at every bandit camp and wipe them out to protect the roads, I stop at every infestation to wipe them out to clean those damn Freakers from the Earth, I like stopping in at camps for the feeling of "I am safe here.", I like hitting up the NERO centers/checkpoints and getting the stat boosts and a good night's sleep (basically the only "sleeping area" I use during the game since I always hit them at night for some reason). I'm even hesitant to go out into the world now because, to me, I just want Deacon and Boozer to be safe and never enter the outside world again. But I know if I let that mindset take me, I'm gonna drop the game, and that is the farthest thing I want right now.

    This game has sunk its jaws into me and will not let go. It's made a lover of this game out of me, even with all the issues it has at the moment (which is like... the one sound bug with the one Exhaust upgrade (Exhaust II does not have this bug, got it last night and never ran into the sound bug with it), FPS issues, and some issues with some areas/missions not completing, seemingly randomly. So probably about 3-5 issues or so for most people), it's an excellent game and I wish a speedy patch recovery for the issues that are happening at the moment. And I don't say this lightly since it takes a lot to change my mind about a zombie game that I considered "crap".

    I'm maybe hoping eventually they run some sort of "community actions" like "Kill 100 million zombies" or something across all players and we get some bike decals or something, but even if they don't, I could see myself running through this game again (even better if there's a NG+ mode or something).

    Begrudgingly, 9/10 game, would buy again. I'm at work right now and considering going home early just to play more of the game before I have to go to sleep lol.

    The only thing I wish is that Bend would take a look at the issues digital copies are having (major FPS loss/artifacting, can't see the screen/environment/enemies) as this is affecting some of my friends' abilities to play the game.    … Expand

Then it started to creep up on me, this impending feeling that they were all valid and 100% true. About 20 hours into the game I realized it was a content treadmill packed with a few of the less stellar seasons of The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy. Ammo and supplies are very plentiful, hordes and encampments quickly become manageable, and zombie killing becomes repetitive and tedious. The only real danger ever presented to the player in the game is running out of gas, both in your bike and your will to continue because you are mildly interested in the story.

    I didn't finish the game, and i don't think I ever will. I'll probably look up a story summary on youtube though because I'm invested in Deacon St. John and some of the other mildly interesting characters scattered through the game. It's just not worth doing the same 4 activities over and over and over to find out what happens.

The main problem is the lack of spontaneity and imagination in the game's design. This open world that you can't fully travel until after the ending; there are a ton of loading screens, invisible walls and artificial walls that stop you from being creative when tackling mission objectives and, above all, it lacks variety in terms of random events, it recycles assets to a fault and the missions are textbook fetch quests. Deacon's abilities lack imagination and there's simply not enough variety in terms of weapons (not that you need it, because of the very simplistic nature of the missions, but anyway). The motorcycle gets much of the attention but not even Deacon cares about cosmetic customization and there's obviously no attachment with the motorcycle. You always face the same ambushes, rescue the same NPC, loot the same trunk; it gets boring. The horde, on the other hand, is great, but it really gets attention after hour 25. And then come the technical problems. Maybe a few of these are solved by the time you read this, but back when I played, framerate was really bad and it was buggy as hell, sometimes the minimap doesn't show the way, some graphic signs won't disappear; voices tend to desynchronize; I had a motorcycle chase that bugged out and the guys I was chasing were stuck; and so on. A.I. is nothing to write home about with the classic embarrassments and the plot... well it is far from being The Last of Us. All in all, it is certainly not a bad game, but it isn't outstanding by any stretch of the imagination.… Expand

Opening the weapon wheel is not fun to craft just one shot or two and slow down the action. I almost forgot, the motorcycle. Again slow and frustrating. The physics weren't terrible when you can drift corners just by hitting a button, but the motorcycle itself is slow, with engine revs not matching it's speed so it hardly feels realistic at all.

    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.
