    I'm personally loving it, it's a very fun game and it's also very beautiful. I've played like 9 to 10 hours now, and i've just had 1 bug and it was just a little weird rock. It is not a masterpiece but believe me, it is way better than you may think because of the reviews.

    Disclaimer: I'm not factoring in release bugs or early performance issues in my rating (8 if I did). I've now finished the main story and am working on 100% completion. Days Gone is an awesome game that truly is the sum of its parts, provided you enjoy the open-world game formula.

    While Days Gone falls a little short of other SIE exclusives in production quality and polish, it makes up for it in exhilaration and fun. I've sincerely enjoyed my time with Days Gone, and it is turning into one of my favorite SIE exclusives despite some early on technical issues.

    Days Gone is a game that we've needed for a long time! It was worth the delay. I'm about 13-15 hours in and the story is just starting to really pick up, and BOY is it exciting!

If Bend can manage to fix a lot of the technical issues, then we have ourselves a great game to its core! If you’re on the fence because of the reviews, I would recommend you pick this up.

While Days Gone is nothing revolutionary, and despite having its issues, it's a pretty solid game!

    The storyline is pretty generic zombie apocalypse stuff that's been done a million times before, but it's still a good plot. The gameplay, controls, graphics, audio are all pretty spot on. I love any open world game that let you do whatever you want, whether it's doing the main story mode, side missions, or just exploring the world at your own pace. The only real annoying things so far are how fast your bike runs outta gas and finding gas cans to fill up lol, the game does get repetitive after a while, and ammo can be kind of scarce sometimes.

    I don't really understand all of the negative reviews this game got from the supposed "gaming professional reviewers"?! Like I said before, it's nothing revolutionary, but most games aren't these days. Every new game doesn't need to re-invent the wheel to be a good or great game.

    It may be petty, but there are only 2 things holding this back from me giving it a 10, First, I wanna chop out my drifter bike, literally every other bike in the game has ape hangers, why not Deek? Secondly, I am a run and gunner and that makes this game a challenge for me.

    I am astounded at the amount of backlash this game has gotten from reviewers. I won't go into Xbox vs. PS4 but have played about 40 hrs. and have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Oregon wilderness with Deacon. The lush lived in, but still, secluded world compliments the idea of an Oregon based biker fighting for survival.

    • Solid gameplay
    • Good narrative
    • Horde battles are very intense
    • Bike traversal is satisfying
    • Likable characters
    • Freedom for players to play how they want (Stealth v. Loud)
    • A unique setting in Oregon

    Cons
    • Audio hiccups and bugs that cut out ambient noise
    • Limited gun selection
    • Repetitive side missions

    Overall this game is a solid 8.5 but rounded it up to a nine because I liked my time in this world so much. In a game atmosphere where zombies are not a threat, its is nice to see a game where they can destroy you in seconds if you are not careful.

    This game is amazing. I'm loving it so far. The open world feels a lot like Red Dead Redemption when your just riding your motorcycle all over and just looking at all the death and destruction that has occurred.

I believe the "story" could have been edited better in my opinion. Some scenes are repeated or just not placed in a good order story wise, but that's me.
    I highly recommend the game if you love open apocalyptic worlds. It takes the best of Red Dead, The Last Of Us, Far Cry, Uncharted and others and blends them wonderfully. Also love the sound when played on my headphones. Kudos to Sony Bend!

    The best part? No "live services", NO micro-transactions, No "online only". Just a great single player full game. Love it!!

The story, the flashbacks, and the dialogue in between missions immerses you into this world immediately, so you actually care about surviving and trying to solve the mystery in the story. The survival mechanics are all very solid, if you crash your bike into zombies you have to scavenge nearby cars for spare parts. Luckily, it's the apocalypse so there's abandoned cars everywhere. The first 10 hours are maybe the slowest pacing of the game, I didn't find it too boring but those who don't like dialogue in games might be pressing the skip button a lot. The last 20-30 hours of story are a huge roller coaster of emotion and action. I was captivated the whole time. Fans of games like Fallout or Mass Effect will appreciate the side quests and exploration involved. The only boring missions might be the stealth missions which are somewhat Ubisoft-esque and kinda cliche but the story captivated me. I'd give it a 9.5 but there's only an option for 10 or 9, so.

    The game is fantastic. The mechanics are so well done. killing freakers never gets old. You will often jump off your bike to kill them. And fighting an entire horde is one of the most satisfying things you will ever do in this game.
    The voice acting is so good. The dialogue is well written and the overall story was really enjoyable. The game did not feel repetitive to me in any way, shape or form. I got the platinum trophy on one play-through and that's so cool. The world is so beautiful.
    IF I had one criticism its the black screen transition from gameplay to cutscene and then back again. After being spoilt on continuous screen play from Horizon, God of war and Uncharted, I feel that Bend could have used this and don't understand why they didn't. But, it doesn't matter. I absolutely loved the game. I really, really hope that the sales do well and we can get a sequel.

The technical problems in review copies has bogged down reviews but do know that these issues are at a bare minimum after patches.

    Story: The story is easily one of the strongest aspects of game. At first the story comes off as cliché and uninspired, especially in the first hours. However, the story slowly develops into multiple treads, and can develop side characters and the main characters a like, at there's a lot of emotion and at certain point there is quite an impact. I found myself heavily invested in a lot of the different plot threads and where they may lead to. On the other hand, the story long over stays its welcome, and it starts to drag towards the end. Loosing that impact that it once built up, and some twist are predictable or lack impact. Over all the story had heart and was a good time.
    Game play: The game play here is as open world as once can get. Everything you expect from a game like this is here, from enemy posts to be cleared, uninspired side missions(quests). However I found myself hooked with the game play loop and the development of my characters The different factions you meet and its currency system makes it so you have to make "though choices" into developing you "own character" and I liked that. My character felt unique to my game-play style. the shooting is not fantastic but it’s not terrible. It is on the same style as Uncharted. needs more work doe but it does the job. What I found myself attached to a lot was my bike, saving for that new part or that new paint job kept me wanting to play more. Over all game play was fine, but it could use some work.
    Design and Performance: I played this game on a PS4 Pro. Over all the performance is all over the place. Sometimes is really good and fun for 5 hours straight, the next minute you are falling into the sky or glitching into a mountain with your bike. However, you can see a clear improvement with each update, But it does reflect poorly to see 5 patches with in a week's release. The design and graphics are fantastic. At times this is a game that looks as good as sometimes like Uncharted and God of war. The weather and day/night cycle made it immersive and very seamless. Makes it for some great shots if you are into photo-mode. The music is generic and but has moments where it lands very well with the atmosphere and complements the scene well.
    Over all I liked Days Gone a lot and I look forward to the sequel. I look forward to the next project by Bend Studios. I am happy to see them work on something bigger. seeing their previous titles where much smaller in scale. While this game does not compare to something like the Last of us or God of war. It does have its own strengths and merits.

Bend you really outdid yourself, i was kind of not so hyped for this game in all those years of its creation with gameplay footage and teasers..but now iam a true fan. gimme more of that!

    some cons for me:

    minor little bugs (not by a far gamebreaking)
    a little bit more gore like wounds with the melee weapons would be great
    the beginning of the game is very tame (but like i said ones it picks up booom in your face)
    the bike gets damaged completly running into a random encounter not reacting in time

    thats all all i have to say, buy it if you like:

    open world
    the last of us
    bikes
    stealth
    gore
    leveling up
    atmosphere and weather.

The main character is actually pretty badass...I thought I was gonna hate the guy but he's honestly really likeable and a surprisingly funny dude in such a dark setting plus Starkiller did the voice acting and motion capture for the dude. I mean come on. If this game seems interesting to you, don't listen to the trash talkers, support this awesome game. Expand

    Awesome Walking Dead but open world style. Play like a charm like Horizon. Should be a 9 but will give a perfect 10 to offset those stupid negative critic reviews.

    I understand that this game is not for everybody...but to just downvote it to 0 just because your experience was bad? That's not very reasonable.
    Just for Graphics, World building, Sound, Gameplay and Setting this game deserves a solid 6/10
    I guess where you can kick it down on a little is the Bugs, Story, Zombie Genre and the lack of Multiplayer. (Because lets be honest, how cool would it be to roam DaysGone with a 2 players Co-op ?)

    Yes, the game bogs down and drags a bit....and yes...there are some inital bugs that plaque the game. But, when does this not happen with a new relase ?

    That being said.... This game is GREAT!! I got in on relase date and I have barely put it down this whole weekended. Now tell me, if a game was really 0/10 or maybe 2/10. Would I play it this much ? A game that is a 0/10 is something you cannot even stand to play 30 minutes.

    Speaking of playing a lot...I only just scratched the surface of this game. I think im still only 34% into the story! And I sunk a decent 15 hours into this already!

    And not even side-tracking and wasting time. Just doing ingame stuff !

    The gameplay is solid. The vibe is just wonderfull. And the tense moments just make it so great.
    I dont think I can say anything that has not already been said by other people.

    LIke I said, I guess this game is not everybody's "cup-of-tea" so to speak, but if you`re into the whole post-apocolypse with free roaming and third person shooting ?? you really can't go wrong with this game.

    THIS GAME NEEDS 2 PLAYER Co-Op !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Final verdict is a 9 out of 10. Here’s why this is the most underrated game of the year.

    Final verdict is a 9 out of 10. Here’s why this is the most underrated game of the year.

    Just so anyone who’s reading this knows, this is just my opinion, but you should absolutely give this game a chance and is definitely worth it at full price. K moving on.

    I’m starting with the negatives just to get them out of the way.
    1. Frame rate slows from time to time, usually when entering a town or a highly populated with Freakers area. Yes, it’s a negative, but guess what, it never effects actual gameplay.
    1. Positive. Even though the frame rate slows from time to time (shocker, a next gen game getting ready to move to PS5 and this is this studios first AAA game, “oh no, better give it a 1”.) the game performs phenomenally on the original PS4 and the grate rate never slows in combat, which sometimes you have hundreds of zombies chasing you by the way.

    2. Graphics are solid, moving on...

    3. Sound designe. My personal favorite about the game. I’m a lover of great sound design, and I always have, that’s one of the big reasons I love the Battlefield franchise, the audio is amazing. Days Gone is on a similar level for me. From firing assault rifles to suppressed pistols the audio is just so satisfying. From the echo to the round actually being fired it just feels so immersive.

    4. Story. No issues with the story. I actually care about the main characters and whether they live or die or not. It’s not The Last of Us good, but it’s certainly well done. Great job Bend Studio

    5. Gameplay and Mechanics: personally, they feel very similar to The Last of Us with a slow motion effect (which makes sense). You have to use resources you find from the world and utilize those resources wisely. Similarly to the last of us, many of the same resources are used to craft different items. The biggest difference with this game? Sometimes you will have 100s of infected chasing you and you have to make a quick decision. So not unlike red dead redemption 2, sometimes you will have to use the slow time mechanic against hordes of 100s of zombies. Apparently IGN thinks that’s stupid for some reasons (except if it’s a Cowboy from the 1800s?).

    If you like Zombie/post apocalyptic/survival horror games and even just open world games in general, this game is for you. It doesn’t get repetitive, there is tons to do, and the story is compelling.

    Do yourself a favor, buy this game, play the crap out of it, and as always, don’t listen to critic “journalist” reviews, because they’re trash. Especially IGN.

    This game is very funny, has many similarities to the FAR CRY saga and some things from The Last Of Us, the type of enemies is more inspired by the enemies of the movie I AM LEGEND than in the typical zombie.

    Recommended 100%, ignore the reviews, the press played the game without patches and also in a hurry. Maybe the game does not innovate but if it's fun, that's the important thing.

    Puntos negativos a destacar: la verdad hecho en falta variedad de enemigos, me refiero a grupos como los "RIP", personajes que me encantan, podrían haber hecho otros grupos de supervivientes más destacables como ellos; puede parecer un poco pesado el hecho de estar atento a la gasolina de tu moto y estar arreglándola cada dos por tres, pero por el contrario no es tan mal punto, ya que ésto le da más protagonismo a la moto y no es solo un simple medio de transporte; y por último, lo que sucede en la gran mayoría de sandbox, que las misiones pueden llegar a parecer un poco repetitivas si llevas mucho tiempo de juego.

    En definitiva, Days Gone me parece un gran juego de supervivencia, y creo que va a dejar huella, en el buen sentido, obviamente.

Throughout my play through, I have experienced a few minor glitches here and there, but that’s to be expected as it came out only a few days ago. The biggest complaint I have about the game is the frame rate drop; when driving your bike in certain areas of the game, the frame rate absolutely sucks, and the game is unbearable to play. This only happens a few times through a play through, though. Also, I like the combat/crafting/skills system, except I think the hand to hand combat is rather bland. I do think that it should be tweaked so that it’s more interesting to the player, rather than having to repeatedly press R2 over and over again.
    Although Days Gone has some annoying things about it, I still absolutely love this game and would recommend it to anyone.

    The game was not a bad, beautiful open world, well-written characters, atmospheric music, the gameplay copied from The Last of Us, which seems to be not bad, but I would like something new. Of the minuses, perhaps I call the FPS drops when riding a bike, and a very stupid artificial intelligence from opponents, it is very boring to complete quests or shuffle camps on stealth !!!!

    Gioco fantastico, non capisco perchè stia prendendo voti così bassi. L'atmosfera è egregia, i suoni e le musiche eccezionali. Anche la storia è ben scritta. sono a 20 ore di gioco e non mi riesco a staccare. gli unici difetti sono un frame rate un po instabile e troppi stacchi tra gameplay e video. Per il resto è un ottimo gioco.

    Firstly, it is important to understand that a 7 or 70 score on Metacritic is a good score and not an average score as some may be suggesting.
    Also on a number of reviews and blogs have consistently made comparisons in terms of quality with the likes of God Of War, Spiderman, Horizon, etc not understanding Bend Studios is not a massive team as those that have developed those successful games. Bend is a smaller studio that has produced smaller games in the past and this is their first venture in the triple-A market so it is natural they will learn and improve over time.

    It appears unless Sony releases a 9 or 10 out of 10 games they have failed.
    Yet, when you start playing the game you cannot fail to notice the beauty of the environment created and the passion of the developers in creating a compelling adventure worth playing to the end.
    No one from the studio ever suggested that the narrative would be as good as a game like The Last Of Us, but there is a story and it is interesting enough to follow if you approach it through the lenses of fairness.

    The missions, whilst at times are repetitive (and I have not seen a single open world video game that has not repetitive missions) are interesting and fun to make players want to continue to the end.
    The mechanics are good and have improved via the various patches released and the RPG elements (whether it is perks or bike upgrades) keep the game interesting and fun to play.
    In fact, when I read that Bend wanted gamers to care about the bike I did not think it would be possible, yet you are somehow forced to care of it as your life depends on it.

    When this game started receiving lots of negative reports even BEFORE it was released I decided to ignore the pre-judgment and have an open mind. Maybe this is why I have been pleasantly surprised by the game to a point I felt it necessary to come here and leave a review and a score.

    I hope the game sells well enough to give Bend another chance to create a sequel or a new game. Their passion and love for this game mean only that a possible sequel or a new triple-A game, given the correct resources, can only be better.

    What a stellar new IP! Absolutely love the crafting and bike maintenance, it’s just enough to keep you engaged without it getting in the way of fun. The melee combat feels great right off the bat (pun intended) where the gun play needs a few of the skills upgraded to feel really nice, it does get there however!

    Too many of the critics were not objective when they reviewed this game. Too much emphasis was put on the fact that this is a Sony exclusive.

(if you don't count surviving factors such as water, food or temperature...its a game and i find those factors annoying)

    the game deserves a try and some hours to prove itself so i suggest to give it a go. don't expect it to be like the last of us or State of decay. it's scary and lonely in it own ways but it's fun to survive in Pacific Northwest.

    Despues de cada parche vamos en el 1.08. No es el juego que decribe la critica. Excelente ambientacion. Historia que te va enganchando queriendo saber cada vez mas. Mecanica de combate y crafteo fluida. Muy buen sonido de las armas y en general el entorno. Si te gustan los sandbox y la onda post apocaliptica. Es tu juego.

    Great game if you like Walking dead, Farcry, Uncharted, Red Dead Redemption. Maybe not for you if you are into God of War/Skyrim/Witcher type games.

    Its a pretty good game, a good time, worth playing through, Not amazing or great in any area, but just a solid well made product.
    Its not a 5/10.
    Its better than a 7/10, the game has plenty of content to be just a 7/10.
    To many people (including games Urnalist) hating on this game even for months before the game came out.

    The game's story is not unique, nor is its gameplay or setting. It doesn't introduce new mechanics, instead it builds on mechanics from other games.

    And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Not every game needs to be revolutionary. The game is a blast to play, the upgrades are meaningful (both character and bike), characters are likeable, scenarios and graphics are great.

    I really enjoy this game a lot more than the critics seems to be. The story takes a little bit to get going, but when it does, it really is engaging and interesting. I also found the open world to be very beautiful as the game has great graphics and good animations. The soundtrack is great and the open world is very immersive and fun to play in.

I also found the open world to be very beautiful as the game has great graphics and good animations. The soundtrack is great and the open world is very immersive and fun to play in. Some missions can be repetitive, but I didn’t mind because I enjoyed the gameplay so much. The gameplay is fun and fluid, but lacks the impact of a game like The Last of Us or Red Dead Redemption 2 as the enemies do not carry the weight of a bullet or melee attack as realistically. However, it still is good enough to not make it a deal breaker for me whatsoever. The game takes about 60+ hours to complete just about everything including side missions and collectibles. I felt like the length was about perfect for the main story at around 30+ hours. The characters are very well developed and actually feel like real people, although Deacon can sometimes have a few awkward lines during gameplay. The AI is a little dumb, but it’s not nearly as bad as something like Assassins Creed so I think it is pretty acceptable. The horde combat is what really makes this game shine as it accomplishes something very few zombie games have done. The horde actually feels menacing, scary, and hard to manage, but it is very satisfying to defeat one. The amount of options you can take to tackle a combat scenario is very large. If you can think of it, you probably can do it and that makes the gameplay very enjoyable. The motorcycle also feels fun to drive and like a character of its own. I also thought it had the right balance of survival elements to make the game a little bit more immersive. The game does have some technical issues like cutscenes glitching, enemies getting stuck in animation loops, and some minor frame drops, but these are probably fixable with a patch and don’t affect the experience too much. Overall, I really think the game is much better than critics are implying, but who really listens to IGN anymore anyways. They already lost their credibility. I don’t think this game is as good as God of War or Red Dead, but it is still a good game that doesn’t deserve the hate that it is getting. The game has some issues that allow it from being the best of the best, but I would still give it a 8.5/10 to round up to 9/10. Check the game out if you are interested or wait for the price to drop if you want to be cautious, but I think it is a game worth experiencing regardless. Expand

    A beautiful looking game, the story starts out a little slow but i got really interested the longer it went on, the bikes handling takes getting use to and stamina bar depletes quickly at the start. I did experience a audio bug and one that stopped me throwing stones to distract freaker's both were solved with a restart. I loved the world, the characters and the gameplay.

    Days gone is not only a game where you dig deep in a massive open world killing hordes of zombies. It’s tactical scary and harsh game where every single shot counts.

It’s tactical scary and harsh game where every single shot counts. You really feel the need to think before acting this is the key foundation in days gone. You never know when your last bullet will save you or give you a hard time. And sometimes you take risks by driving your bike when there isn’t enough fuel to reach your destination. All this makes the game and core mechanic as epic as it gets.

    Graphics in this game are phenomenal. The lush woods gives you a feeling of Lonliness and desperation of a safe town. Or the nights with the moon shining beautiful and bright. Every experience and dynamic weather in this game is absolutely perfect. How the harsh winds interacts with the threes and the grass. It’s absolutley stunning to look at. I don’t understand the bad reviews this game is getting. Im very far into this game and More I play it more I feel that this is a masterpiece just like red dead and the last of us. The story the animations the realistic graphics are just incredible that I sometimes just stand still for a moment to appreciate the graphics.

    This is by far the game I wud vote for as being the game of the year so far. Because of how incredible it is. I’m just sad how the reviews are being so bad and so negative. They may had a buggy experience which I never had Or experienced as far as I played.

    No where near as bad as critics or Xbox fans are making it out to be. Its a solid 8 or 9. 10 is to much, but anything lower then a 7 is just being petty. Also if your user name starts with something like Xbox_Fan ect. Its a dead give away why you gave it a bad score .

    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.
