    At the beginning the game is a bit of a flat little plot because you have to drive back and forth as you know it.

    But when you get to the middle part of the map, the story finally gets wider and better to play.

    There are a lot of items or hordes to get.

    At the end of the game, however, it is relatively easy to defeat the hordes, which is a pity.

    On the whole it's well done.

    I am pleasantly surprised by just how much I have been enjoying Days Gone after reading initial reviews. I was looking forward to its release but after the initial MC score in the 60s I decided to rent it. What I found was a game right up my alley! I love Far Cry, Tomb Raider, Last of Us, Metro, Metal Gear, Splinter Cell etc etc. I don't care if its "another" open world.

I'm a bit older and don't always want teeth grinding action. I don't need multiplayer or battle royale (talk about played out) in EVERY game. I don't want to have to talk to anyone if I don't want to because lets face it a lot of people are trolling holes. I like the story, I like the characters. I love that you can play somewhat laid back and more stealthy.....if you choose. I love that you can go guns blazing and take on hordes....if you choose. I haven't come across very many bugs at all, let alone game breaking ones or ones that take you out of the moment. Is it perfect? No. Let's be honest even games that score 10 aren't. The animations can be stiff, the is some pop in, the motorcycle is a bit too loosey goosey for my taste, yeah and guns aren't the best. The missions themselves can be somewhat repetitive (what game isn't?), but it is the story and purpose that distinguish them. As Radio Free Oregon would say: "Don't believe the lies!" All-in all I give it an 8.5 (9 due to MC rating system and to offset zero score trolls).… Expand

    This game is very good. The quality is in its graphic development, gameplay and stories. This is one of the most beautiful games I have ever seen. I just find it very simple how he takes objects, but the rest is flawless. There are some small sound problems that will surely be adjusted in the next patch.

    Love this game! Bend Studio did a great job crafting Days Gone! Everything from the combat, environment, and music fells real solid. A few bugs need to be ironed out, but for Bend Studio being a small studio I well look past and forgive them. Bend did a very good job for what resources they had!

    Gaming journalism is not relevant anymore. Days Gone is a very good game in all aspects and many of these people from huge rich brands gave low score to the game for "feminists" and "politics" reason, without pay attention in aspects of gameplay. I did play the game and did find it awesome. The world is incredible, the characters full of life, the gameplay is very diverse, and story is intense.

The voice acting is great tho and I really dig the world and atmosphere. I’d say the positives definitely outweigh the negatives for this game and I recommend it. I’d say it’s a solid 8-8.5 but I’ll give it a 10 to bump it up a little from people giving it a zero for no reason.… Expand

I didn’t like how the game forced you to slow down so much for some story elements to play out.

    Then I kept playing and I have to say the story actually started to hook me. The overall arc and many of the sub stories actually end up being very good. I now appreciate the game making me pay closer attention to a lot of the character development and forcing me to slow down. That’s not to say it was perfectly designed, but I get it.

    I would say the game is probably an 8.8 or something around there. I feel like many lower scores just didn’t give the game the time it deserves.    … Expand

Glad I found the user reviews, who correctly informed me that the game was better than the pro reviews indicated.

Glad I found the user reviews, who correctly informed me that the game was better than the pro reviews indicated.

    After playing through 75% of the game, I've re-read some of the reviews that initially put me off, just to see if I could figure out the disconnect.

    Gamespot gave it a 5/10. IGN gave it 6.5 of 10. Most of the complaints they had about the game were, interestingly, completely true! What they considered complaints, however, weren't always problems. Technical complaints (bugs, glitches) definitely were problems for some people. Aside from that, though, they identified things in the game that were repetitive or seemingly disjointed, and they weighted these problems more heavily over the aspects that made it fun to play. The game is a blast in a lot of ways. Yeah, it's got a weird moment or two where you think, "Why did they do that?" but it's hardly worth penalizing the game's score over. I know there's always the subjective nature of how people interpret art, but usually, game sites make their bread and butter by being generally correct in a review. In this case, there's a big disconnect between the game's details and the overall experience of playing it (which should be reflected in the final rating.) This is NOT a 5 or a 6.5 game. It's fun and enjoyable and feels like an 8.5-9 game.

    Some people have criticized the acting. The acting is stellar and part of why I enjoyed playing it so much...it was surprisingly varied and different from other games. It's not the actor's fault that Deacon is yelling at times when others aren't; that's the fault of the direction or the people who instructed the actor to shout to overcome motorcycle noise, when it wasn't necessary...and the fault of QC for not correcting things like this before release. However, it's hardly worth deducting a point from the score.

    Some people have had technical issues. Those are the most damning critiques, I think. I haven't had a single problem other than rare frame rate drops while bike riding in the southern regions, but I hear a few horror stories from other people. That's a problem. Supposedly the patches (1.09 as of this writing) have fixed most of them, but the game shouldn't have been released until it was more polished. This was a fair criticism in the pro reviews.

    Frankly, the most irritating thing about this game is using the square button to pick up an enemy's dropped weapon when what I want to do is loot. Far Cry does this, too, and it's always been irritating. Making a weapon swap should NOT be the same button as looting, ever!

    The game, for the most part, has been exhilarating and fun. Scary as hell in some places. Funny and touching in others. I don't care for forced stealth missions (as the IGN review correctly critiqued) and I think they could have eased me into how to fight a horde a little better than how a particular story mission tries to do it, but again, these things are not worth shedding a point over. It's still an 8.5-9 game. Gamespot complains about going on a hunting mission. So what? You can keep hunting if you want. Should it have come earlier in the game? OK. Lose a point over it? No way.

    Glad I ignored the pro reviews on this one. Every game is a "to each their own" like of thing, but as someone who enjoys open-world games and the likes of Far Cry, AC, RDR, Fallout, etc., this game totally rocks and has been a lot of fun, and I'm glad I took the risk and bought it. Definitely looking forward to replays.    … Expand

    Fun open world sandbox with light survival elements that makes me think best parts of Mad Max and the Last of Us. Storywise, I thought it was pretty good but your millage may vary. Would score higher if there was a little more variety to enemy types, improvements in human enemy AI and less bugs (minor sound glitches for me with day 1 patch).

I almost cancelled my pre-order after reading all the negative reviews, but after around 20 hours in, this is already my favorite game this year. Absolutely love the atmosphere, visuals, sound, and gameplay. The story and characters aren't mindblowing, but they're good enough to keep you interested and motivated. There are a few audio bugs that were annoying, but nothing remotely game breaking.

    People talk about the game not innovating, but I have never played a game with massive hordes of fast moving zombie/freaker enemies like this. All the enemies in the game are dynamic and interact as well, so you never know what you will run into. I have seen a massive horde invade a marauder camp and easily wipe out all 20 of my enemies while I hid in the bushes in a thunderstorm. Coolest thing I have ever seen happen dynamically in a game. Other times, wolves and bears will take down freakers for you, or you may catch them feasting on enemies you recently took down. The setting is also unique, and helps to build an amazing atmosphere that just feels right. The developers did an amazing job with the world and location, making it feel alive and more apocalyptic than any game I've ever played. The Pacific Northwest thunderstorms, rain, and fog look perfect, and build the perfect setting for this type of game. I would even say it nails the atmosphere better than almost any zombie movie ever has. Truly amazing work!

    The graphics here blew me away as well (PS4 Pro). I would call it a tie with RDR2 for best looking open world game of all time. Textures are perfect, lighting amazing, and the animations and physics are great as well. A few times I have seen the physics get wonky, but nothing too distracting. Little touches like bodies that don't disappear for days, accurate dismemberment that isn't overdone, amazing foliage and ground textures (best I've seen) and dynamic puddles and accumulating snow really stand out. The controls are also great as well. Everything feels incredibly smooth. The handling of the bike and the shooting take some mastering, but stick it out and you get used to them and learn to love the controls. They also improve a ton with earned upgrades.

    The main character is a little quirky and weird, but overall fun to play. The dialog is the weakest point of the game imo, and Deacon will randomly yell at characters out of context or sound out of breath at odd times. Overall though, it does a decent job of making you care about the survivors. The hordes and enemies are the real stars of the game though. The first time you randomly come across a horde of 100+ freakers at night in the wild is absolutely terrifying. Once, I ran out gas at night and was pushing my bike back to camp when they spotted me. I fought (ran) valiantly, but needless to say I didn't last long.

    One thing I haven't seen any review cover is the balance of actual gameplay. It is a great game if you like just wandering and exploring like me. The way that fast travel is unlocked by powering up NERO camps and clearing the roads, tunnels, and infestations between them is really unique and refreshing. The sense of advancing and growing is great too, as your character both improve a ton and you can feel the change. You also feel like you are making a difference in the world as you eliminate hordes and infestations. All great stuff. Challenges are very different if you are fighting a few freakers, a horde, a bunch of gun toting humans, or a freaker bear.

    Overall, this is a top 5 game of the generation for me already, and I'm not even half way through the game. I know reviews are subjective, but I don't see why this game is getting dinged so hard for issues every game has. Even if you are burned out on zombie and or open world games, you should give this game a try!    … Expand

It does not do much that is unique, however, the thing I like most about this game is that it's an open world game that does a very good job of giving you direction. The only open world games I've actually finished recently are Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn, many others , including Red Dead Redemption 2 are easy to get burned out on. Days Gone has multiple story lines going on at once and the game does a great job of telling where to go to advance a particular story by looking at your map. I'm still playing this longer than Red Dead because I enjoy the setting, the visuals are fantastic on the PS4 pro. The only glitch to speak of is the sound cutting out with certain exhaust equipped and its a nice mix of single player story mixed with open world sandbox. The acting of the main character is hit or miss, but I think these characters are some of the most believable I've seen in a game to date, maybe because they remind me of friends / family that I actually knew at some point. The only real cringy moments are when Deacon is talking to himself, its a bit overdone at times, but forgiveable. Dont let the critics disourage you, or rent it from RedBox for a night first, that's what I did and went and bought it full price after the weekend.… Expand

    I’ve been holding off writing a review and rarely review games. The reason I’ve been holding off.... to be honest I’ve been waiting for all the terrible parts of the game that seem to have been reported. Yet I’m now about 30 hours in and nope still absolutely loving it. It isn’t perfect, I have seen are some frame rate drops however they’ve never been when expected but when world appears to be loading sections of map/ characters but never when I’ve been battling hordes. The only other annoyance is having your character slow while having to follow npc’s Advancing the story. On the plus side though, love the world, beautiful, stunning, organic and most importantly interesting. The bike is a joy to ride, story and voice acting are right up their with the best games these last few years. Hordes are terrifying, sound design is sweet. Gun play while not easy is fine and authentic. Fixing bike and refueling aren’t a chore for me and only add to the setting and feel. For a first big entry of Sony Bend I applaud them, possibly tried to pull off something too big but I feel they’ve made a real success of it. I for one hope and pray people give this game a chance and it gets the sequel it deserves. If you love story, are a patient person and can push through the first ten hours or so the game really comes to life. I’ve now played the game through twice and got the platinum, yet they added new game plus (so now third time round). Also around twelve challenge games have been added. Horde modes, crazy taxi style, racing game modes all intertwined nicely in to the world of days gone. Anyone on the fence wait for a Christmas sale and buy, I’m sure you’ll get more than you thought. I’ve played for over 100 hours and I have relatively little time for games, somehow with this game it just kept me coming back.    … Expand

    Great game, only down side was slow loading times. It seems to break into a cut scene where its not really needed but I'm sure they will improve that in the sequel. Apart from that I loved it and I'm still loving it. The hordes are freaky and the story is great! Graphics are great too!

    This was the most solid 8 even rating game I can think of. It does not have the transcendent game changing feel like GOW but it doesn't need to if you enjoy open world games. It's a beautiful open world with a lot of weapons and tactic options (stealth vs all out force). The random horde encounters, sometimes even during an ongoing mission, can be hilarious and/or terrifying. Having to monitor and plan for fuel is a fun twist that keeps things interesting. The story has a lot of common cliches but it's still entertaining and the voice acting is excellent. The map by end game is HUGE. Bike customization is a little limited but nice and I wish the outfit could be customized as well.

    I don't have as much time as I used to for gaming, but I had a blast turning this on and spending a couple hours at a time busting up some freakers. If you enjoy open world with scavenging and crafting then I recommend giving this a shot.    … Expand

    Days Gone is a very good open-world/zombie game. Its one of the weaker playstation exclusives in recent memory, but considering the team behind the game (Bend Studio) is much smaller and less experienced than other developers, they did a great job at creating Days Gone.

The visuals of the game are simply incredible, with really great and immersive looking environments. Riding your motorbike is the main traversal mechanic in the game, and is well designed as the controls take some time to get used to but become really fun once you master them. Driving down a country road or through an old abandoned town feels very relaxing and intimate. Exploring the world and finding what used to be of a society is always really fun to do in these types of games. The zombie hordes are the real highlight of this game, with many encounters forcing you to mow down hundreds of zombies at once. The story is the weakest point of the game, with many uninteresting characters and plot points. The main character, Deacon, and his relationship with his wife and best friend are the strong points of the narrative and luckily keep the story enjoyable for the most part.… Expand

    I recommend this game. It was fun, and while not perfect It kept me gripped for most of what must have been at least 60 hours of gameplay.

    The story is compelling and really well written and acted by the main cast. This is a competent and worthwhile open world game with plenty of tense and varied combat. Pros: - Excellent gunplay - Biking is fun - Decent visuals and sound track - Endgame    I recommend this game.

    Pros:
    - Excellent gunplay
    - Biking is fun
    - Decent visuals and sound track
    - Endgame with hordes and overrun locations is hectic and challenging. Like being in World War Z!
    - Genuinely interesting main story. Main three characters are likable.
    - Hordes are awesome

    Cons
    - Slightly repetitive/unmemorable locations (there's only so many times a gas station can be interesting)
    - Not quite enough enemy types.
    - Too many side missions involving wiping out dozens of people for no real reason (i.e. some guy stole from us so let's wipe out his whole camp of 15-20 people).
    - Frame rate drops and freezes happen far too often, even on a Pro with latest patches (Sept 19).
    - Slow start with an awful bike and weapons. Story takes a few hours to get interesting. Some weird missions that consist of nothing more than a very short conversation.
    - Too many loading screens as the action goes between cut scenes and live action. RDR2 had none of these.

    Overall score: 8.5

    I'd love a sequel to continue the cliffhanger story, introduce more people from Deacon's old MC and bring some action into a city location.    … Expand

    - TONS to do. I’ll be driving to a mission and an hour later I still haven’t made it there because I have been biting off on all the little sub-quests and random encounters to do.
    - so many zombies, encountering my first hoard was terrifying. Blowing them up by shooting a fuel tru k and seeing 40-50 freakers go flying was awesome.
    - a really dope/sleek menu and interface.
    - great backstory and world building lore in the collectibles and mission tracker. I’m spending way more time reading collectible text than I thought I would.

    Cons:
    - poor frame rate at the moment
    - long initial load time, but once you’re in the game you only encounter short ones before and after cut scenes (launch day PS4)
    - guns don’t handle what we are really used to so it feels weird at first but gets better as you gain experience and skills to help with gunplay

Otherwise, it would be an 8 otherwise, because of the shooting experience (a 50 cal would easily do more damage and the point and shoot was not eh) and [Spoiler Alert!] you don't get to see Boozer, Sarah, or anyone really after you beat the game, that really bugged me... I really enjoyed the inside jokes and easter eggs of the East side of the Cascades of Oregon. When they mentioned Portland getting nuked I couldn't help but burst into laughter, Chemult had some almost exact buildings in the town and the fact there was a community college there was hilarious. The story was gripping, the ending was satisfying, the gameplay was realistic but not so realistic that the game was unplayable (how pissed everyone would be if the gas ran out at the stations or in the cans I can't imagine).

Plenty to do and relatively challenging for a casual gamer but definitely beatable. The hoards definitely pose a threat but are also bearable with plenty of supplies or a good strategy.

    My only 2 negatives so far are that the game is laggy at times and every once in a while a freaker will randomly appear or disappear but this is something that could be solved with a few patches over the coming months. 9/10 would recommend.

The open world; vast and enticing with a myriad of random events, collectibles and side missions/ activities to keep you busy for hours on end. The game also manages to create a feeling of dread and foreboding that really allows the player to become immersed in this wonderfully crafted and detailed world. It’s beautifully animated with smooth realistic graphics and amazing facial animation. The story is very well-written suspenseful and engaging, with realistic, deep and interesting characters, although it does take some time to really pick up. I also found the soundtrack surprisingly enjoyable and it really added to the vibe being set by the story and environment. The sound effects were realistic and believable. I also have to give praise to the cast as the acting in this game was phenomenal, I believed it all, I really felt like the characters were real and couldn’t help but empathise with them all, despite how little I sometimes wanted to. The only thing that hampered the experience for me and keeps me from awarding Days Gone a 10/10 score is that I experienced some performance issues (particularly frame rate drops), bugs and out right crashes that really broke the immersion but thankfully did not break my game, however patches have been released to deal with exactly these issues and at the time this review will posted future updates are planned.… Expand

    I totally get why some people might dislike this game, but man do I love it. The story starts kind of slow and messy, but then it really picks up and you start feeling invested in the story and characters. The gameplay is so much fun: the crafting, taking care of your bike, and defeating freaks and hordes. The graphics look amazing and the amount of detail is simply astonishing.

If you love the zombie genre, this is the perfect game for you. If you just want a fun open world game then this is perfect for you too. I hope that the bad reviews from critics doesn't stop Bend Studio from making another sequel, because this game truly deserves it.
    9/10 please play the game, it's great.    … Expand

    Days gone junta todo lo bueno de un videojuego y hace que en todos momentos te diviertas con accion constante y una historia que te engancha y hace que siempre quieras saber mas y con una buena variedad de misiones y cosas por hacer

    This game is great, not perfect, but it is not the generic zombie shooter game the critics make it out to be.

    Days Gone has many qualities and shines above all with its atmosphere. When we walk we feel this pressure form that will be familiar to the players of State of Decay. Between bandits, mutants, motorcycle fuel management, noise management, hordes, ambushes ... the danger is omnipresent.

    Narrative side and characters we are on the good, the protagonists are realistic and the stories are interesting and convincing despite some wanderings and clichés. While we do not achieve the excellence of a TLOU but we can not help sometimes think of the title of Naughty Dog in terms of the post-apo atmosphere.

    You can also use the environment, which will remind Horizon Zero Dawn to a lesser extent. The little extra is brought by the Freak-o-System that allows for example to make noise to attract mutants in a camp of bandits and cause a massacre without getting dirty hands.

    I liked: The heavy atmosphere, the characters, the freak-o-system, the random events during the exploration, the driving of the bike, the clear interface (radial menu), the richness of the environment , the beauty of the landscapes, the variety of activities.

    I liked it less: bugs (collision, sound, ...), serrated immersion, the rather crude infiltration, the management of gasoline

    Far from being a masterpiece, Days Gone is still a beautiful raw pearl with undeniable qualities.    … Expand

    Good game, general consensus seems to be that the story is a bit drawn out but I enjoyed it

    Jobs can be a bit ‘same old, same old’, but I enjoyed it nonetheless

    Would be a 10 if I could play it on Xbox one.
    Looks like an awesome game that has comparable gameplay to Red Dead 2 and Farcry 5. If this was for Xbox One I'd be so down to play it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is amazing, I feel many people who reviewed it negatively didn’t make it to the second half of the game which is where it picks up. Around 30 hours you begin to get bombarded with story elements and learn more about the freaks. Patience is rewarded with an amazing story, also make sure to continue playing post credits for a surprise. I played on a pro and ran into a few glitches nothing game breaking and this was post patches.… Expand

    Pre-ordered the game had no bugs and only issues were slight frame drops and the A.I detection seemed to get messed up by my stealth stats or something.

    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.
