    Do not listen to all those so called proffesional reviewers, the game is great
    immersing atmosphere, good story, very fun to play
    the progression system is rewarding and the driving mechanics gets really fun after upgrading the bike.
    the protagonist is very relatable and likeable
    graphics are great, only issue is performance that could be fixed via a patch
    A MUST PLAY GAME.

    8/10. Some Exclusives are made to sell consoles like God of war, horizon, bloodborne, uncharted etc. and others are made to have fun. This is a solid game. And if you own a playstation 4 its a great game and a great inclusion to the ps4 Library.

    Its not perfect. But its still better than most games out there. especially as a openworld game. Its a 8/10 for me. I gave it 10/10 because    8/10.

    Its a 8/10 for me. I gave it 10/10 because it has no microtransactions, so bonus points. After seeing Mortal Kombat 11 I felt compelled to. Once this drops to 40 Bucks it will be a no brainer buy. Depends on your back catalog if you want to buy it full price. Great job Bend Studios.

    Jogo com ambientação incrível. Belos cenários, e visual. Os inimigos são muito medonhos, em um sentido bom, é claro. A história tenta se desprender de outras obras apocalípticas como, The Last Of Us, ou até, Left 4 Dead e Resident Evil. Lembra muito o filme Eu sou a Lenda. Recomendo este jogo para os amantes de jogos com este tipo de temática pós-apocalíptica.

    Nada en este juego es generico ni su ambientacion ni su historia ni su jugabilidad ni su calidad tecnica
    Actualmente este juego barre con RDR2 en calidad tecnica no asi en las animaciones ni lo pretende porque no lo necesita, lo que hizo un estudio tan pequeño es increible.
    Es el primer videojuego en el que nieva y la nieve cuaja en el suelo, la historia epica y su ambientacion hacen el resto.

The low-end scores surprise me, to say the least. The game is something new that provides fun gameplay mechanics with an interesting storyline while at the same time remaining to be a good survival experience. There has not been a zombie style game of this caliber, (open world, third person, and survival), in quite a while. Please keep in mind this game is not trying to be the Last of Us, it's something completely unique on its own. Yes, there are some bugs, but the devs are working hard to patch them (as a couple of patches have already been released). Performance is pretty good, however, it can sometimes dip by 5-10 fps, (keep in mind I'm still playing on the day 1 version of the PS4 which I'm surprised hasn't died yet). Honestly, this game reminds me of "I am a legend" with Will Smith and that's pretty cool. Obviously, it's not as amazing as Sony's GOW, but it's still a fantastic exclusive. Definitely, recommend picking this game up.… Expand

    I didn't pay much attention to the build-up to this game and only heard about the buzz concerning its mediocrity closer to launch. After learning much more about it, the open world, survival type gameplay seemed like a good time but I went in with pretty low expectations.

    After almost 20 hours of playing, I have trouble putting it down. I almost feel like I'm playing a different game than some reviewers. Most reviews seem to just bring down their score based on it being too similar to other games. While it shares many stylistic choices and gameplay tropes as other games, it does everything so well and I can't for the life of me understand why similarity should be such a heavy negative against it.

    The gameplay is great and provides a wonderful sense of survival while not being too heavy handed. Everything around the motorcycles mechanic makes traversing and taking care of your bike a genuinely enjoyable experience. Something as small as the bike acting as your save point makes wondering the map a strategic affair. The constant threat of zombies in the open world is great and always keeps you on your toes especially up against hordes. It borrows many stealth mechanics from other games, coming together to allow Days Gone to excel at taking out base camps and zombie nest locations, incredibly stealthy. All the systems just come together to really make you feel like you're somewhat helpless in the world but capable if you're smart about things.

    The world is fantastic and exploring freely is both rewarding and tense. Not to mention the weather mechanics in the game are a sight to see. From snow gradually building upon the ground to the way the forest trees sway in a storm. There's always something to do and thanks to the light survival mechanics, there are reasons to return to previously explored areas.

    The game also just looks incredible. It's visually up the standards Sony games have created and presents many cutscenes to enjoy the story. I'm not too far in the story and while it's not mind-blowingly captivating, it does create enough interest to find out where things go and your main character is arguably the best part.

    The only real issue that doesn't by any means ruin the game but should be noted as an odd level of presentation is the cutscenes. There are constant black screens between all cutscenes, even with several scenes back to back, which breaks up the presentation in just a jarring way. It does stand out and seems like a strange thing they couldn't smooth out.

    All in all, this game is great for anyone who is a fan of open worlds, survival horror and most action games. I wouldn't be turned off by the low scores and definitely give it a chance if you can.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely brilliant and a really good use of the zombie genre. Days gone has some great gameplay elements however some things could be improved like stealth. The music of the game is really captivating and keeps you engaged while running from “freakers”. The story is very well done and it keep me gripped and on the edge for most of the time there were some instances where it did lose me for a bit just due to it not progressing, the amount of twists and turns in this game story is brilliant especially for a zombie game. The last one I remember being able to do that is the last of us. The game isn’t a masterpiece but it very enjoyable from running away from horses to hunting down the rippers. Too saving your brother and searching for your “dead” wife. I will say the twist at the 3 act of the game when you turn up at the military was quite a weird one I didn’t enjoy it at first but then I understood why it was there because it had been spoke about in previous scenes and segments of the gam. There are plenty of likeable characters especially the main characters deacon St. John he really did annoy me at first but he eventually grew on me as I explored the game story and his back story more and more, one issue is that I wish boozer had more to do or could of been a more interactive character in the storytelling. The shooting feels sluggish at first but as you upgrade it really starts to feel good. I will say the secret ending was defo a surprise the way o’bri Took off his helmet to surprise us with a infected but bonding person with the infection leads to main possibility’s for the next game if there is a next game, overall days gone was a great game and I’d say bend studios done a great job moments,… Expand

    Is it rough around the edges? Yes. (Glitches) What really shines here (shockingly) is the story and the pacing of the story. Like the early years of "The Walking Dead," the character development is amazing and gets you caring about all of the side stories, along with the main narrative.

I've never seen it done this way.

    + The gameplay and story are what makes this game. The motorcycle riding and gun play never get old.

    - It's a shame that after 6 years of development they couldn't add more faces. Every rescued person has the same 2 faces. Also, the perks that you can add aren't that exciting to work toward getting. Personally, it would have been great to add more "rpg" elements. Oh the glitches! There are a ton! Hopefully they will get fixed through updates.

    In the end, I don't see why some critics are saying it's a "generic zombie story." Every story about zombies is going to be similar in some way. The narrative around solving the Horde problem, while developing the characters involved is what hooked me.

    Oh, and killing hordes is INTENSE. You REALLY have to plan it out and prepare. This makes it unlike other "Generic Zombie Games" with mindless zombie killing.    … Expand

It is a living, breathing world out there, a dangerous yet beautiful most atmospheric world I've ever played. Bend Studio put their heart into it and real humans beings will get it. Im so glad for Bend Studio. Thank you! Days Gone is already an underrated cult game, a precious gem. If you play it right, patiently and slow you'll get the juice. You'll understand the real deal here. The good stuff in Days Gone easily overshadows the weekest elements. This world is crazy detailed, so many hidden secret's and wonderful detail's. The weather system is stunning, the audio and the riding, the gunplay is also neat. Its kind off realistic, not casual. I really dig the riding! I think they naild itHard to master but so enjoyable! The AI is sometimes bad and sometimes good and time to time it is stunning. I speaking of the horde AI. Overall I surprised how good Day Gone is. I love it. One of my most enjoyable Ps4 exclusive game. Greetings from Hungary! :)… Expand

    This is no masterpiece, not every game is. But it is a solid fun and enjoyable game, don't listen to people calling this game bad just cause it isn't a straight 10.

    I personally think that there is plenty of enjoyment to be had here, the story is interesting and the gameplay is unique and enjoyable.

    Definitely worth your money, just don't go in expecting to blown away.

    Es cierto que no esta al nivel de Horizon ZD ni God of War, pero es un buen juego, me lo he pasado muy bien jugando, graficamente muy bueno sin ser el top, sonido espectacular, banda sonora, doblaje y el sonido de la moto increible, La historia es larga y entretenida sin alardes, lo unico malo algun bug esporadico y alguna caida del frame rate, algo que se puede arreglar con los parches.

    First time review ever on meta critic, had to say something due to the harsh reviews Days Gone is getting. For me Days Gone is an open world version of the Last of Us and that game is probably the best game I've ever played. Days Gone isn't quite at that level but it's a great game and I'm loving it so far. No way does it deserve 0 out of 10. That's all I needed to say.

    Days Gone is a amazing zombie survival game. The game has a beautiful graphic and the bike is very nice to drive. The only negative things is the weapon control. It's very hard in some moments.

    Jugabilidad - 7
    No inventa la rueda. Utiliza mecánicas vistas en muchos títulos y las lleva a cabo de manera correcta. Le fallan dos puntos. Por un lado algo más de dinamismo en cuanto a la capacidad para trepar y hacer algo de "parkour" de forma más libre. Y por otro la interactividad con el escenario. El juego te provee de explosivos, pero no esto no hace que puedas destruir estructuras o edificios cuando quieras. Este, es poco destruible y aunque podemos interactuar con muchos elementos, no existe la sensación de que puedas "modificar" el entorno. Pero vamos, ni en este ni en ningún juego actual. Lo más parecido sería lo que vimos a partir de Battlefield 3, pero en un mundo abierto, a día de hoy, parece que no podrá ser.

    Diversión - 9
    El juego es tremendamente divertido. Las diferentes mecánicas y tipos de misión están enfocadas en que el jugador se divierta. Apenas hay misiones de recadero que no impliquen acción, tensión, o incluso terror. Esto hace que quieras jugar cada misión independientemente de lo que implique para la historia.

    Historia - 8
    La historia se desarrolla de manera correcta. Tiene algún giro de guión pero nada que te vaya a dejar con el culo torcido. Es entretenida, como lo puede ser la historia de una película de Marvel, pero tampoco le pido mucho más. Eso sí, los personajes son muy carismáticos, también esterotipos, pero es divertido. Aquí hemos venido a matar zombis y a pasarlo bien, no quiero personajes sumidos en dilemas demasiado trascendentales. Otro punto a favor de la historia, es la manera en que está estructurada para el jugador. Puedes avanzar por diferentes tramas sin tener la sensación de que haya una clara escisión entre misiones principales o secundarias de modo que es mucho más inmersivo.    … Expand

    Days gone shows a compeling story with great game mechanics, its important to consider that this is the first time that bend studios makes a triple AAA game and with 30 hours in, i can assure you that this game really shows a grounded vision and a lot of detail in the execution. This game really grows on you as you play along, at first you might feel that the game is like a jack of all trades but really doesnt elevate itself in a particular direction, eventually the game starts to get more and more interesting. At first deacon looked like your generic badass angry dude but as the game goes on, the protagonist grows in depth and you start to learn the layers that exist within deacon and also the other caracters. This is a human story and as you progress you start to get more and more invested in the characters and the world, this takes me into the world, its amazing, filled with great detail, incredible weather system and real gameplay changes depending on the time of day and the weather itself. For me the world is completely inmersive and has this funny thing that gives this feeling of mystery and suspense that makes exploring really fun and engaging.
    The gameplay is very good aswell, i personally like the shooting mechanics because they feel responsive but there is this weight to it that makes you think about your shots and gives a realistic sense of danger, of course you have focus and does make the shooting a bit easier. The stealth is solid with range and meele options and the traversal with the bike is really something else. By something else i mean that the bike starts feeling a bit unresponsive and sluggish at times, but that is because you have a terrible bike at the begining. The cool thing is experiencing changes with every upgrade you put into your bike and you end up with a great bike that controls really smoothly. That feeling of growing and improvement really does extend to the whole game.
    I think its important for everyone that likes the genre to try this types of games, fresh ideas that are not perfect at the start but set the vision for the future. I believe a lot in this game and you can really see the detail and hard work that the studio put into this product.
    I give this game an 8.7 because of some optimization problems and frame rate issues. This game deserves a try if you like open world adventure and zombies(Freakers) and for me, despite not being perfect, days gone is a fantastic experience and a game with a lot of heart.    … Expand

    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]
