    A beautiful open world game with biker flair and cool characters. And it's rather positive, considering the zombie apocalypse genre. It's a hopeful trip and the Gameplay is smooth.

Alle Gebiete habenVon den Kritikern als buggy, redundant und stereotyp zerrissen, von den Fans geliebt und als eines erfolgreichsten neuen Sony Franchises gefeiert. Meine Haltung zu Days Gone liegt findet sich irgendwo dazwischen. Ich hab bei meinem Durchlauf von Days Gone kaum Bugs wahrgenommen. Und gerade auch die Spielewelt, ist sicherlich eine der gelungensten Open Worlds der PS4 Ära. Alle Gebiete haben ihren eigenen Charakter und Charme. Im Vergleich zur Redundanz eines Assassin's Creed, wo alles irgendwie gleich aussieht, und man sich ohne Karte kaum zurecht finden, kann man Days Gone auch komplett visuell erkunden und findet sich gut zurecht. Etwas das auch ein Red Dead Redemption 2 oder ein Horizon Zero Dawn ausmacht und für mich so etwas wie ein Gradmesser für eine gut gebaute Open World geworden ist. Sicherlich, Charaktere und Story bieten wenig, was man nicht aus zehn Staffeln The Walking Dead nicht schon irgendwie kennt. Dennoch sind Dialoge und Interaktionen der Figuren gut geschrieben, wirken lebensnah und sind durchaus mit der Qualität von Naughty Dog Spielen vergleichbar. Zudem hat Days Gone mit seinen Zombie-Horden, die wir im Endgame des Spiels angehen können, ein ganz eigene Spielmechanik, die Nervenkitzel und Motivation über viele Stunden verspricht. Days Gone ist ein gelungenes Endzeit Zombie Open World Spiel. Vermutlich das beste seine Art in der PS4 Ära. Vielleicht ist das Spiel zwei, drei Jahre zu spät erschienen. Vor allem der langen Entwicklungszeit ist es zuzuschreiben, dass die Kritik sowohl dem Zombie Thema, als auch dem xten Sony Open World Spiel langsam überdrüssig wurde. Expand

    Perhaps the most underrated PS4 game.
    This game takes the zombie genre and improves on it with hordes of zombies and a well fleshed out open world.
    Initially I thought I wouldn't like the US biker gang characters, but by the end was quite fond of them. Upgrading the Bikes and weapons is fun, with a nice levelling system too. Zombie children is a nice and heartbreaking touch. And

Days Gone has a great story with some interesting characters. The optional tasks and collectibles are not 'busy work' but actually help to contribute to your progress through the game. The horde were a really fun mechanic, that I hope will be expanded upon in any possible sequel. The only negative for me was the performance issues, especially when the big hordes were on the screen, which caused the game to dropped in framerates but I never had a crash.
    Overall, I loved my time with Days Gone, so much so that I earnt my first platinum trophy with it. I hope that Bend Studios will make a sequel to this game, as it definitely deserved more praise than it received.

    With Days Gone, there are as many positive things I can say about the game as negative. Let's start with the positives. The open world is beautiful and detailed, from grass to rocks to gravel to asphalt to the trees and houses and interiors of every building is spot on. the character models are great, facial animations are also very well done. The Freakers (Zombies) are detailed with thereWith Days Gone, there are as many positive things I can say about the game as negative. Let's start with the positives. The open world is beautiful and detailed, from grass to rocks to gravel to asphalt to the trees and houses and interiors of every building is spot on. the character models are great, facial animations are also very well done. The Freakers (Zombies) are detailed with there blistered discolored skin, however its the sound design that shines the most. Having a hoard of i them behind you, hearing them chirp and screech, hundreds of feet slaming the ground gives you a rush. The Freaker wolves can run faster than your motorcycle, which can make a simple ride down the road a ride for your life. The Freaker bears will give you pause as you decide between killing them (which takes a LOT of ammo) or just going the other way. The guns are also very detailed and sound amazing. Riding your bike is smooth and responsive, however if you're not carefull it can get away from you resulting in a hilarious demise. The story of the game is good, not great, but good. Overall, a good open world zombie shooter. Now the negatives. (This is a RANT). There are WAY to many cuts from game to cinematic, the load time between them is too slow for a game made in 2019. The acting in the Days Gone is fairly good but some lines of dialogue feel out of place.The Freakers, as numerous as they are, are too easy to dispatch, the Freaker wolves, although able to outrun your bike, are simple to kill, the Freaker bears, although incredibly tough to bring down, are sluggish and easy to outpace and can be instakilled with a upgrade you get as you level up. The human enemys are pethetic. However my biggest complaint in Days Gone is the VIRUS it self. In terms of a virus for zombies, Days Gone has the best version of it over Left 4 Dead, Dying Light, and The Last of Us. my complaint is that if you put logic to the virus in Days Gone, it destroys the game as a whole. in Days Gone you find audio logs that detaile the virus and how infectious it is. in the logs you figure out that it not only infects humans, but it also infects animals and insects, meaning you could be bit by a mosquito and you're infected! Which means you can't even walk outside without a armored environmental suit! You can't hunt or farm meat due to the risk of infection. You can't even live on land! You would have to live on a ship, even then you still have to deal with the occasional infected bird, not to mention the thousands if not millions of infected fish and sharks swimming beneath you... cheary thought. Simply put, Days Gone should have been a completely different game. Days Gone is well worth your time playing it, but the logic of the virus kills the experience. Expand

It was a game that had me immersed while playing and I had fun exploring the open world. It’s a great game and I hope we get a sequel.

    Ahora yendo a lo que es el punto principal de lo que es Days gone que son : La historia y Las Hordas, esta bien la historia lo que es para mi es disfrutable y tiene sus momentos de clímax o momentos que son memorables y lo que es las hordas me han dejado un poco decepcionado ya que me espera que también fuera el foco principal pero de todas maneras es divertido y un reto disfrutable derrotar todas las hordas, yendo ahora al gameplay para hacer mas corto diría que esta bien echo pero se pudo mejorar lo que pediría es que le dieran un mejor sistema de combate ya que queda a deber, la moto es especial ya que puedes diseñarla a tu gusto y manejar es todo un deleite , lo que es el contenido que tiene puede que para ti sea cansado o lo puedas sentir repetitivo , pero hay algunas misiones secundarias que si me parecen están bien, ahora antes de finalizar quiero decir que los personajes esta bien hechos pero no mas , Deacon no es Nathan Drake, Aloy , Kratos o Joel es mas bien como un personaje mas reservado o mas tranquilo puede que no sea un gran protagonista carismático pero si funciona bien para la historia de Days gone
    Mi conclusión: Days gone no es las grandes exclusivas de PS4 yo diría que esta en una buena exclusiva media , podrá gustarte lo que es el mundo de Days Gone o también podrás dejarlo pero en MI OPINION vale la pena jugar Days Gone.

My only complaint would be that the story is a tad bit too long, not as long as Red Dead Redemption II but pretty close to it. Not saying it's a bad thing but at some point, I'm sure you'll ask yourself if you're getting close to the end or not. Expand

    Days Gone is amazing! 1st play through on ps4 was ok back in the day, I mean it was a great experience, the gameplay mechanics & the story were great for me. But the game struggled to keep 30fps! It was not a smooth experience, loading times were so long and frequent, and there were A LOT of bugs and game stopping errors. 

    I just had a 2nd play through on PS5 at 60FPS upscaled 4k looks

    I just had a 2nd play through on PS5 at 60FPS upscaled 4k looks & feels amazing now! Loading times were drastically reduced, there are still some bugs in the last version but its ok they removed the big ones. Even thou on PS5 the game is technically improved, there are still problems with the game itself. The pacing becomes an issue, enemy AI would behave erratically, and the overall game structure has some problems too. 

    I really enjoyed the experience, put in tons of hours in both PS4 & PS5 walkthroughs. I could give the game a 10 because of how much I enjoyed it. But given the problems it has, I have to go with a solid 8

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been playing for a couple of days and this game is truly disappointing, I've been wanting to play a game with zombies but for the safety of my wallet and so I don't have regrets, I waited for a sale and damn am I happy I didn't pay full price for this failure, this game should cost at max $20, from terrible gameplay to a decent story it just isn't worth more, first of the story isn't bad it's typical zombie apocalypse and a interesting audio collectible where it says only people with guns managed to survive it's really interesting and realistic, as well as the story about his wife and the ride with his friend to the north it's a nice story but holy is everything else garbage, the awful stealth where they show if someone sees you and if/how much they hear you is a sad attempt at making something interesting and original because while you try your best to hold down you L button and get as silently as possible to your target they get away from you, do a marathon, then 20 more come behind you while you move like snail and if you run just a bit they notice you, the stupid shooting system like Mafia 3 where you either miss everything or randomly headshot unless you stay still and wait in front of them for your aim to get accurate while they shoot you accurately, the almost never working interactions with NPCs and dumb programming where the NPC is just staying on your bike in the middle while they shoot you and then you randomly a talk starts about how she can come out??? From where??? The bike??? LMAO, not only that, glitches the character talks out of the subtitles, talks in Spanish when the game is in English, suddenly yelling in a normal conversation(happens way too often), the game is lagging and I am on a PS4 Pro, glitches where you are holding to pick something or talk to someone and your character just stands there gazing at the void doing nothing for 5 minutes while you rage for WTF is he doing? Boring and repetitive flashbacks oh and if you are a casual gamer like me normal will be too hard even tho the game has 7 difficulties from Easy to Survival II, because anything(basically the 1 type zombie and Rippers the only 2 enemy types) will 2 shot you while you have to hit them 6 times with a pistol to kill them and also you will be running out of fuel every 15 seconds... A small map for modern open world games but still beautiful.Really simple skills system which we seen in every game nothing bad here. And finally why this game gained popularity for its hordes which are completely useless since the zombies run faster than you. Basically Mafia 3 with zombies. I'm missing a lot of stuff I wanted to say because this game has so many problems its hard to memorize them all and I'm sure I will continue to see even more. Expand

    Gorgeous environments and exhilarating horde battles don't save Days Gone from an uninspired, cliched and painfully overlong story. That being said, roaming in the wilderness of Oregon is in turns thrilling and calming.

Poor reviews are very misleading. Yes, its formula is a bit generic, reminiscent of The Last Of Us with the protagonist Deacon St John (Deek) on a journey of mid America surviving infected "freakers" whilst crafting items and the such, but I like these type of games; killing "freakers" and baddies, working for better weapon upgrades, salvaging scrap for crafting, going on side missions and main missions, and ultimately following a main story with interesting characters and narrative. It's not stellar 5/5 like The Witcher 3 or Red Dead Redemption 2, but still a strong 4/5, with an "open world" map to explore and conquer. I love the arsenal of weapons one can work towards purchasing, all with their individual pros and cons, and the unique structure of building "trust" with different camps to unlock new weapons or bike upgrades is great concept, as is the customisable bike, which offers way more upgradable features than Arthur Morgan's horse! Love the extensive main and side missions, peppered with lots of "freakers" (infected zombie-like humans), "marauders" (bandits), "rippers" (scary baddies) and animals (infected ones are frickin scary!) to combat. The emphasis on stealth killing is refreshing too, but the greatest and most novel feature is the freaker "hoardes". Unlike The Last Of Us, where zombies are single or in little groups, the Days Gone hoardes are frickin terrifying, and I defy even the most seasoned of gamers not to sheet themselves the first time they are chased by one! Talk about running around in state of perpetual panic whilst grappling with my sweaty PS4 joycon! We are talking groups of up to 500 freakers, yes, 500! Building up your weapons arsenal, plus required upgrades, alongside a wide array of bombs and other booty, all leads up to taking on these monstrous legions of infected, 40 hoardes in all. Strategising each hoarde fight, mapping your route using your environment to best effect, is very satisfying. The system of upgrading your Melee, Range and Survival skills, using Skill Points, sustains interest and rewards progression, as does upgrading Deek himself, with Stamina, Health and Focus. The "open world" map has fair amount of collectibles and historic landmarks to seek out, but not overkill like Assassins Creed, and killing animals for meat and harvesting floral for camp "credits" or ammo crafting, all add to the gameplay. My main gripe with the game, and I'm still midway through, is the interactions and warfare with other humans. They are so easy to kill, no challenge at all, certainly compared to the various types of freakers ("breakers" are super strength infected which are scary as hell and hence harder to kill). The humans are also thick as sheet, they have no intelligence (e.g. you can kill one as it comes round a corner, yet two of his mates will follow in quick succession) and learn nothing from their environment or your actions. They seem to stand still or typically reload their weapons whilst you bludgeon them with a baseball bat, hence rendering side missions to kill marauder or ripper camps no real challenge at all, but Hell, still kinda fun wiping them out, just don't expect responsive AI. Anyhoo, in conclusion, I'm enjoying Days Gone, and genuinely interested to learn what happens to Deek and his bestie Boozer (the latter is ripe for DLC content; likeable buddy who happens to be bad ass). And forget the stories of glitch galore; most have been patched and I've had none thus far. So get your best weps and go kill some freaker butt, :) Expand

    Days Gone at release was a buggy, almost unfinished mess.

    Sony Bend turned it around with patches throughout the year that not only fixed a lot of the core problems, but added even more content for free.

    Days Gone is great. Sony Bend keeps their horde card close to their chest at all times, only pulling it out a few times during the 30+ hour campaign. Bend knows that giving the player the ability to take on hordes from the beginning (such as World War Z) will get repetitive and boring. Sony lets the player go from frightened to even take on a few freakers, to willing to take on three hundred at the same time. After 20 hours, the satisfaction of killing hordes is worth it. The payoff makes the slower opening hours worth it .

    As for the story, it's alright. It's no Last of Us or God of War, but it's not terrible either. Some story choices are downright stupid, but Sam Witwer's stellar portrayal of Deacon St. John and the stunning musical score make it bearable at the worst and amazing at it's best.

    Days Gone also features challenge mode, each of which are completely different from anything you do in the main game. There is even a COD-Zombies-esque Horde mode complete with a mystery box.

    All in all, Days Gone is worth its relatively cheap price of around 20-30 dollars on sale, the reviewers can't seem to get the fact that Days Gone is a good game. Don't believe them guys.

    this is a great type of game, the gameplay is fun to say the least, but the story except for a few more scenes is not entirely crazy, I honestly believe that the only thing I would do in this game is the hordes, but the other things do not I would never repeat them, the game, the graphics and the actions you can devise are full 8, but the story is 6 in my opinion.

    Sony didn't have any marketing for this game, since businessmen didn't believe in it and now you blame gamers that it has low sales. Are you serious? If you had invested some money into marketing campaign a lot more people would have tried this game.

    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.
