    All I have to say is .. Underrated!!!!! This game has one of the best story lines in my opinion. I bought this game day one and I have beaten it 3 times and I'm ready for the fourth play through! Let's go Days Gone 2 !! Why aren't you out already ??

    This is a good game. Very beautifully designed location. The main character you believe. But long downloads and bugs spoiled the impression of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Days Gone is the best open world to have fun after finishing the main campaign. Cleaning up hordes is my hobby now.
    The game had technical problems on launch day, but after the patches is another game. It is not a 10/10 game, but it is certainly a 9/10.
    The story is good, everything is good or very good. The only penalties are an irrelevant mission alongside finishing the game, the NPCs' nonexistent facial expressions, and the lack of an epic fight with the final boss.

About the characters I can say that I loved the majority, obviously our protagonist Deek, a MC different from the others with problems of rabies and suicidal tendencies, and his best friend Bozzer form a great duo, besides Rikki who is a good person too. it's good but not so much on the bike, the graphics are very beautiful and the soundtrack is warm but when I played the soldier eye music I confess that I loved it. which the game tries to innovate in the genre as used as the zombie. With all this I can say that it is a good game. Expand

    I only played it now, thus many many patches after the release. Also picked it up at a discount.

    Was not expecting much from all the hate, but ended up loving the game.

    8/10 for me

    + story is really interesting overall
    + you can feel TWD atmosphere
    + game length - I expected 1/4 of what I got. Played it for 2 weeks, could not put it down
    + many skills to level up
    + free choice to fight using fore weapons or melee
    + bike customisation
    + side quests are really enjoying. There are like 4-5 categories, but they are mixed in such a way, that they do not become boring. Completed (what is rare for me) all side-quests, was not bored
    + no paid DLC, every new content (challenges, new game +) is included

    - some small bugs, rare now after all patches
    - once levelled up to max (melee combat skills), you can take out almost everyone with melee custom weapon (Normal difficulty). Feels a bit overpowered
    - mid-game story does not always make sense, but still is acceptable

    Overall very pleasant surprise for me, I would definitely recommend to give it a try, especially now after all the patches. Initially it was a 6, 7 /10 for me, but the game really grows on you after 10-15+h in. Finally a solid 8/10 or maybe even 9/10, depending on how much you dig into the post apo zombie world

    I almost didn't play this game because of the reviews early on. Boy am I glad I didn't listen to them. Are you kidding me. Did you actually play the game. This is a game you have to put in the time and let the story unfold. Once you do it'll have you hooked. This is a game that will hopefully be appreciated over time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So while i have a lot to say about this game, there's 3 things this game does well 1. Open-world: while I personally think The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild is a masterpiece and does Open-world games justice, Days Gone also does that with an Expansive open-world and with lots of stuff to do, while it doesn't allow you to enter its second area of the game which is like almost as big as Horizon Zero Dawns map, it still holds up to the amount you can do at the start, while its side quest maybe tedious or may feel hollow at the start, you do get rewarded with either weapons or cosmetic for your bike making your time not wasted.

    2. The soundtrack: Days Gone is one of the many games that has personally made impact on me and its soundtrack is masterful, it fits in well in the game and it gives the right tension at the moments of the story it needs to, it also makes the story impact even more when you hear it, making you feel the characters emotions and reasons behind what they do without explaining yet.

    3. The story: Days Gone made clap at the end, i was so happy with its ending, and even after how it started to end it brought back many thoughts to my mind and it made feel more than just a connection to the character of Deacon St. John but as if i had been through that journey with him at his side like boozer, and seen every single inch of what he did and see the hardships he went through to get to his ultimate goal. Days gone is a great game, it told a story that even I consider to even top The Last Of Us, while that a very big statement, i believe Days gone did a better job at giving us a meaningful story and keeping it from start to finish.

    Some minor gribes:
    -The loading screens will take you out of the moment in game just waiting for the cutscene to get back to gameplay.
    -I would have loved a crafting system in a different menu as the directional pad seemed to rebel against me whenever I tried to select something.

    But it's honestly good fun and I would love to see where the studio takes this franchise.

    One nuance in the game with the drawdown of frames and non-loading textures, but this is a minus rather in the inexperience of the developers, which I can easily forgive. I hope that Days gone 2 will not take long to wait.

    The reviews are so so disappointing for this amazing game.
    Maybe that is what happens when you do not pay them money as they did for Last of Us 2.
    The story is better, they do not butcher your favorite characters, graphics are almost the same.
    The only thing that I can point out is that this game is way too powerful for the PS4.

    I played it late, when most of the bugs were patched out and it was a great experience. It has the perfect mix of action-rpg and survival horror. The story is interesting and the characters are very interesting. Some missions feel a bit like filler (mostly the secondary ones) and that´s the only reason why I´m not giving it a 9 or a 10, but besides taht it´s an outstanding game.

Great gameplay from gunfights to riding your motorcycle from location to location which is even fun. Story is top notch and keeps you interested in where it goes. Characters are extremely well thought out with emotional undertones done extremely well. Upgrade and crafting system is simple and easy to understand. Graphically game is stunning with character faces even relaying subtle emotional ques that I’ve yet to see in other games and open world looks stunning.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I’ve read the reviews and it’s bizarre. I remember considering buying the game when it came out and the GameStop employee said it wasn’t that good. I was like eh ok I’ll get something else.

    This game had a good story. I liked the characters. I liked the dynamic between the characters. I liked the game play. Was fun doing missions. I thought the biker world was interesting. I have a buddy who runs a MC club and I never really understood it. But kinda gives you a glimpse of maybe some it. Woke or no woke it was a good time and kept me wanting to play. My only criticism is the ending leaving you with sarah not solving the zombie crap. Where did O’Brien go after deacon lost the radio. What about the other evolved freakers? Lot of questions weren’t answered and I felt it left on a cliffhanger. There’s no dlcs or anything. Hope Sony switches gears and decides to make a sequel so long is they don’t go full woke and ruin the game *cough* last of us*cough*

    Despite an underwhelming first couple of hours, the game grew on me more and more as the world opened up, as I got accustomed the the gameplay loop and once I'd put a few points into slo-mo shooting. The reason for the latter is that the freakers really dodge about everywhere and it gets frustrating to miss shots and then end up in melee; the weaker, less enjoyable side of combat.Despite an underwhelming first couple of hours, the game grew on me more and more as the world opened up, as I got accustomed the the gameplay loop and once I'd put a few points into slo-mo shooting. The reason for the latter is that the freakers really dodge about everywhere and it gets frustrating to miss shots and then end up in melee; the weaker, less enjoyable side of combat.

    After that, it just picked up. I loved surviving out in the unforgiving world of Days Gone. I enjoyed the combination of stealth and gunplay. I enjoyed being able to switch between the two and the variety in combat situations the monsters and the bandits.

    The side quests often have on-going stories for the npc's involved and they are dished out at regular intervals, meaning you can't just blow through one person's questline only to have them disappear for the rest of the game. Instead, by spreading things out, you get to catch up on them now and then as time passes in the main story, which keeps things feeling natural.

    The hordes are great. Early on, they're terrifying hazards and, even late game, a force to be reckoned with but, as Deke gets stronger and better equipped, you'll slowly start to turn the tide.

    Whilst nothing Days Gone does is new or done to a level beyond anything that has come before, it does enough things well enough, with enough care and heart , for most of it to be enjoyable and varied.

    The exact ebb and flow of the gameplay loop is down to you, the player, so it's great to do things as and when the mood takes you.

    The main story has a surprising amount of twists and turns, even if it is sometimes uneven in quality. Most of the main npc's have strong, well-defined characters and the overall tone of the world has a good amount of moral ambiguity to it. What people have to do to survive, the decisions they have to make...the game tries to show people with all their imperfections and it's more interesting for it than a lot of what I see in games these days.

    Weapons have a good amount of variety, they definitely feel different and have pros and cons meaning choosing the right ones for the right job requires at least a bit of thought. Upgrading Deke brings noticeable, satisfying and rewarding benefits.

    The bike being your save point is a great idea. On harder difficulty settings, you genuinely feel vulnerable when you stash it somewhere to go explore or scavenge.

    Deke's character takes a bit of getting used to. He's a grumpy, messed up guy, but you can feel he's trying to change as he finally comes to terms with the reality that he's let this bleak world break his spirit - leaving him living a pointless life.

    The way the backstory of Deke is told is well done in terms of the segments but sometimes jarring given that it's often telling you stuff in reverse order, or simply a jumbled up order.

    For example, someone close to Deke says something really cringe worthy at one point. It's bizarre and out of character. 'What a crap bit of script', I thought. However, some time after another flashback, which goes back in time from the previous one, explains why this is. It then made sense and put a smile on my face but that doesn't change the fact that the initial flashback seemed poorly written at the time. It's an odd choice and sometimes it didn't work for me.

    The map is surprisingly big as it expands 3 times from the initial area you start in. I think my playthrough was close to 50 hours. I also appreciated the fact that after the main story is finished, there are 3-4 questlines that have one or two extra bits; to tie up loose ends with some of the npc's you've gotten to know along the way. Plus, there's an extra piece of story if you defeat all the hordes...it really set things up nicely (and ominously) for a sequel so I was very disappointed to hear Sony didn't give it the greenlight.

    Lastly, I'd also like to get the annoyance of some of those initial reviews out my system. Some of them were awful. Judge a game primarily on its gameplay, not the fact you find a white, biker survivalist unsavoury. Jesus.

    One review even said the Freakers all being white was racist, even though the game explains what happens to people's skin after they are infected. I mean, one of the tougher basic enemies are called bleachers. The clues in the name you muppet journos. They're tougher, (and whiter, hence the name 'bleacher'), because they've been infected longer. If you really have to criticise along the lines of identity politics (which you obviously shouldn't, you hacks) at least get your facts straight.

    Anyway, I enjoyed this enough to play through again a year later on Survival+ and may well play through again on PC. I'd give it an 8.5 if the option were available.

    I really enjoyed this game and it's honestly become one of my favorites.

    It starts a couple of years after the zombie apocalypse. You play as Deacon, a drifter who lost his wife and has spent his days traveling around with his friend 'Boozer."

    I'll avoid any spoilers so won't get into the storyline itself, but it's executed very well. The characters are likable, realistic and everyone is In the moral gray area. They behave like real people, not superficial caricatures to "teach a lesson" or pander. Even the worst villains, you can at least understand how they ended up on that path. There aren't really any major plot holes that I can think of and it ends in a satisfying way.

    The game is open world so you can follow the main storyline, do side missions, interact with the several different communities you come across as you progress, or just roam around. A few different types of zombies show up through the game with increasingly difficultly and the hordes can definitely be a challenge. The graphics are amazing and it really does look like the Pacific Northwest.

    My personal favorite about this game is how long it was. As I thought the main storyline was finishing up, all of a sudden there's new locations, new characters, new missions and it ended up being twice as long as I thought it would. Playing this a few hours a night on average, it took well over a week to finish. I hate when you spend a lot on a game only to get a few hours play out of it. You absolutely get your money's worth with this one.

    The two main negatives I would say are that a few missions can drag on a bit, and a couple of spots can be buggy (I had to restart once or twice, without losing progress though). Obviously both can be a mild annoyance, but it really didn't affect my enjoyment of the game.

    I've already played it through twice and plan to a third time with the + option (starting the game over from the beginning but with all available weapons and skills you acquired from the previous play through). I definitely found this to be a fun, entertaining and very underrated game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a full review, but I’ll admit I should probably give it a 9/10 because while it is my favorite game, it has its flaws. My only problems are with the guns and a couple points in the story. Guns need more balancing, everybody uses the same load out because the Thompson, TMP, and RPD are so much better for hordes and human enemies. My problem with the story is that there are a few generic plot points. For instance, when Sarah is actually alive, or when Boozer also lives. I would’ve liked those points changed slightly. Also, the NERO stealth missions get repetitive, as their pathing will cause you to use the same routes. On to the positives. The environment of Days Gone is my dream environment, it is so beautiful and well made. I actually want to go to Oregon now. Perhaps the best part of Days Gone, the characters. On the surface, they seem pretty plain. As you play the game however, they become more and more complex. You come to realize that Deacon for instance isn’t some hardened jagweed that always does everything for his own benefit and is fine with killing people all the time. He actually has some PTSD which is most likely realistic to someone that has been through what he has. The characters are also willing to do anything for the people they care about, rather than being selfish dinks all the time. There are actually several moments that they serve as good role models. The gameplay is also great, for me, it’s exactly what I want in a game. The gun play is sloppy at the beginning but gets better over time, and I love that. I also love that the entire game gets better and better over time. Literally everything about gets better. It’s a rarity. The ai is also really great. The human ai is pretty average, nothing new except for some of the Ripper moments (the Rippers are a cult that won’t attack freakers, it allows for some really fun ways to take them down). The freaker ai is where it’s at. They trip and fall trying to get to you, and they sometimes attack each other as well. Stealth as usual for most games is average, but can be fun. As I said before, the NERO stealth will get repetitive. Finally, the soundtrack and sound design. The sound design is amazing. Imagine it’s dark out in the mountains and raining, you are walking, and you hear a motorcycle in the distance, you can’t quite tell where it is because the sound echoes in the mountains. Then you hear a bunch of faint growls and screeches. Then you see the motorcycles pass a few hundred yards in front of you, followed by a horde. Yeah, that’s exactly what can happen, and because of the insane sound design, it feels too real. The soundtrack is by far my favorite game soundtrack. It definitely deserves more attention, and the main theme by Nathan Whitehead conveys a feeling of immense hope, nostalgia, and despair at the same time. A fantastic game that I 100% recommend.

    I, like many others, missed this game on release due to the negative reaction from the press, and bad (missing) advertising, with the help of which this game could reach me, but did not get through in 2019.

    I got to know this game firsthand only in September 2020, and this game, or rather its potential sequel, like Horizon forbidden west, became two reasons for buying a PS5.

    And now the PS5 is bought, it is waiting for the release of the continuation of my favorite games and on April 12, 2021 I am informed that the only thing I can wait for is HFW - and this is unfair!

    Sony, please make a sequel - Days gone 2 and keep in mind the mistakes of the past - this game needed a good advertisement, which was not. I would buy this game then by pre-order before its release.

    9.8 / 10 - objectively, it could have been made a little shorter.

    Я считаю Days Gone отличной игрой, бесспорно заслуживающей продолжения, развития характеров персонажей, развития истории мира.

    Я, как и многие пропустил эту игру на релизе из-за негативной реакции прессы, и плохой (отсутствующей) рекламы, с помощью которой эта игра могла бы достучатся до меня, но не достучалась в 2019.

    Познакомился с этой игрой на собственном опыте только в сентябре 2020 года и эта игра, вернее ее потенциальный сиквел, как и Horizon forbidden west стали двумя причинами для покупки PS5.

    И вот PS5 куплена, ждет выхода продолжения моих любимых игр и 12 апреля 2021 мне сообщают, что единственное, что я могу ждать – это HFW – и это несправедливо!

    Sony, пожалуйста, сделайте сиквел – Days gone 2 и учтите ошибки прошлые – этой игре нужна была хорошая реклама, коей не было. Я бы купил эту игру тогда по предварительному заказу до ее релиза.

    9,8/10 – объективно ее можно было сделать чуть по короче.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En verano de 2019 me ha dado muchísimas horas de entretenimiento, aunque peca de misiones algo repetitivas y hay poco post-game o rejugabilidad, sus modos extra son muy entretenidos y rejugar la historia siempre me resulta hermoso.

    Me encanta el sistema de confianza como medio para incentivar el avance, el entorno rural está clavado y creo que este título ha sentado las bases para hacer futuros juegos de mundo abierto de una manera más dinámica. Las hordas son geniales, la inmersión me encantó, y lo recomiendo mucho. No decepcionará (no es un RDR2, pero da para muchas horas de entretenimiento).

    Momentos como cuando adoptas a Jack para Boozer, la muerte de Iron Mike y sus diálogos, el reencuentro con Sarah, la humanidad interna de Deacon y su lucha por conservar la cabeza... narrativamente el juego tiene clichés, pero la forma de contarlos me conmueve cada vez que lo recuerdo. En especial recuerdo que cuando los RIP matan perros sanos, me lancé a gritos y a ciegas a por esos cabrones (yo como persona, gritando), y eso que en estos juegos tiro de sigilo.

    Tiene fallos técnicos, pero para mí es uno de los 10 de PS4 (o de los 20 si metemos a los tipo Souls, que no son de mi gusto pero ahí están).

    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.
