    Very boring game. Nothing new or inspiring to see here. Just another boring zombie game. Riding a bike is very very sloppy that its a mod killer, game story is below OK. Just another zombie looting game. I'd rather play Assassins Creed Odyssey or Valhalla than this. I've never liked zombie games except for Resident Evil and Evil Within games.

The existing of zombies is not fearing. I don't know how to explain it but the game feels like another DEAD RISING.    … Expand

    This game has a bad case of third person perspective **** while shooting, you dont shoot where you are aiming at and it gets worse the closer enemies are. On consoles, kids dont notice or care about this because they just turn auto aim and breath through their mouths.
    The stealth is childish just like on the assassins creed franchise, crouch and you are invisible.

    The stealth is childish just like on the assassins creed franchise, crouch and you are invisible.
    The humans are dumber than the zombies, unless they are snipers, then they are gods gift to humanity and can track you through walls.
    The game is either sleeping inducing emptiness or running away from a horde while trimming it down with scripted stuff, there's no middle ground.
    Your motorcycle drinks more gas than a v12 monster truck.
    There is no animation when you use curatives and no visual clues on your character that you are hurt, so if you play with the hud off you never know if you one hit away from dying (takes 2 on survival).
    Feels like an uninspired low budget game that was given more time and budget than it deserved, its polished and runs well, thats basically its only quality imo everything else is BORING.    … Expand

    Not sure i get all the gushy reviews of this one. Days Gone comes across as a decidedly second rate Far Cry knock off with Walking Dead overtones. It has lots of eye candy and plentiful cut scenes, plus there's a skill tree and weapons upgrades too. Oh and it has an actual, admittedly capable, actor I remember from US version of Being Human cast as lead character, Deacon St John.

    That said, the negatives heavily outweigh the positive. This includes in game bugs that can be downright infuriating, unfair save game cycles you have very little control over, basic weapons and vehicle mechanics that often feel awkward.

    There's a real lack of balance game and cohesion in the story. Points are gained by building trust but its uneven between camps you visit which creates some real issues when it comes to things like fuelling up, re-arming and buying weapons and other provisions.

    Many of the missions add little to the disjointed plot and sub plot ridden story too and end up feeling like busy work. Its not helped either by limited diversity in environments and somewhat repetitive enemies.

    All in all, this one bored me after 3-4 hours of game play and I can not recommend it at its current purchase price.    … Expand

    Terrible pacing. You will witness meaningless fighting against stupid AI during tedious cutscene. Bad ending. There is just not gonna get an sequel, wonder how dare they wrote a confusing ending without explaining it. The purpose of finding his wife bring nothing but cringe and question, like why the flock did I spend my time in this rubbish.

Задания все оч однотипные, особенно те, что выдают в лагерях, охота и собирательство ваще не нужны и не понятно нах они ваще в игре, целенаправленно этим заниматься 0 смысла, никто норм бабок не платит тебе в лагерях за такие вещи. Еще одна оч странная вещь в этой игре - это экономика. Она фиг пойми ваще как работает, в каждом лагере у тебя разное количество денег, тип тебе считай не платят даже за задания, а выдают так сказать право покупать товары на определенную сумму в одном определенном лагере, ерунда полная как по мне. Технических проблем зато вообще 0, один из лучших портов с консоли, оптимизон на уровне, как и графон в целом. Механика орд кста, вот тут спорно на самом деле, и спорно вот в чем: сама по себе орда це круто, однако этих орд по карте очень много, а убивать ты их нормально сможешь только в конце игры, да и по сюжету они ток в конце игры идут, ну механика то классная, только видишь ты ее редко, либо тебе придется очень жестко потеть, либо просто прокачаться и под конец игры выносить. Ну в целом игра хорошая, проходить ее в целом интересно, особенно во второй половине, но затянутая шо пепец канеш, можно было и покороче сделать я думаю, много моментов есть необязательных абсолютно.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Post apokaliptik oyunlardan ve filmlerden hala sıkılmayanlardanım. İnsanlığın tarifsiz bir felaket yaşaması, evrimsel bir darboğazdan geçmesi, hayatta kalan insanların ortalama karakteristik özelliklerinin değişmesi ve türümüzün hayatta kalma çabasına ek olarak yeni bir medeniyet inşa etme hikayesi her zaman ilgimi çekecek gibi duruyor. Ancak bu alanda o kadar çok eser çıktı ve kalite o kadar yükseldi ki türün hakkını verebilmek gün geçtikçe zorlaşıyor.

    Days Gone türü itibariyle bana iki oyunu anımsattı: Dying Light ve Metro serisi. Açık dünya olmasıyla Dying Light'a yakınken, hikayesinin odağı, craft sistemi ve oynanışın nispeten basit olmasıyla Metro serisine benziyor.

    Kötü taraflarıyla başlayalım. Days Gone'ın combat'ı oldukça sıkıcı. Yakın dövüşte birçok silah yapabiliyor gibi görünseniz de hepsinin oynanışı aynı ve bir yerden sonra bayıyor. Oysa Dying Light, elektrikli veya alevli gibi yakın dövüş silahlarıyla inanılmaz bir çeşitlilik sunuyordu. Diğer yandan menzilli silahlarda birçok çeşitlilik var ve bunların oynanışa etkisi ciddi. Fakat burada da silah edinme şeklinin sadece satın alma olması ve kampların güvenini ayrı ayrı geliştirmek zorunda olmamız ve bunun için birbirinin aynısı sıkıcı yan görevleri yapmak zorunda olmamız son derece olumsuz.

    Bir oyunda loot o kadar önemli değil. Ama loot'u veya craft'ı çok önemsemiyorsanız Metro gibi gerilimi ya da Dying Light gibi combat keyfini üst düzey yapmalısınız. Ya da görev dizaynı o kadar başarılı olmalı ki combat sıkıcı da olsa sonundaki hikaye ilerleyişi için oynamaya devam etmelisiniz. Days Gone'ın yan görevlerinde hem combat sıkıcı, hem de görevin sonunda bir loot düşmüyor ya da tüm bunları yapmanız için hikayede iyi bir motivasyon vermiyor. Açık dünya yapıyorsanız, birbirinin aynısı outpost ele geçirme görevleri yaptırıyorsanız, hikayeye bunları yediremiyorsanız, dövüş eğlenceli olmalı ve sonunda iyi bir silah çıkmalı. Tıpkı Assassin's Creed Odyssey gibi.

    Combat bayıcı olsa da vuruş hissi yerinde. Menzilli ve yakın mesafe silahlarında vurduğunuzu ve silahların farklılığını hissediyorsunuz. İsabet alan karakterin beden animasyonları iyi.

    Motorun özelleştirmelerini ve geliştirmelerini beğendim. Benzin kapasitesinin artması özellikle hızlı seyahat mesafesini çok etkiliyor. Benzin bulmaya çalışmak, bulması çok kolay bulunduğu için biraz gereksiz durmuş. Bunun yerine daha ender benzin bulabilsek ama aracımıza yedek benzin bidonu falan asabilsek, çatışmada mermi isabet edince patlasa falan daha gerçekçi olurmuş. Benzini doldurup, daha içinde litrelerce benzin olan bidonu bu yoklukta arkamızda bırakmak biraz saçma görünüyor.

    Oyunun açık dünyasında dolaşmak da o kadar keyifli değil. Sürpriz unsuru çok az, şuraya da gideyim belki bir hikaye ya da bir silah vardır hissi hiç yok. Bölgeyi temizlemediyseniz bir yerden bir yere gitmek çok zor ki bu en azından oyunun atmosferini veriyor. Hızlı seyahat için güzergahınız üzerindeki enfekte alanları temizlemiş olmanız gerekiyor. Bu da en azından işe yarar bir motivasyon kaynağı.

    Oyundaki düşman çeşitliliği de bir zombi oyununa göre çok az. Bazı hayvanların yanında sadece bir iki çeşit zombi var. Ancak horde meselesini ben ilk kez görüyorum. Onlarla karşılaşmak epey gerici ve zorluydu. Sanırım horde, oyunun oyun dünyasına kattığı tek yenilik.

    Oyunun görev dizaynı da bir garip. Özellikle ikinci bölgeye geçene kadar ne ana görev ne yan görev çok belli değil. Haritada bir görev beliriyor gidip yapıyorsunuz işte. Hangilerinin çok da elzem olmadığı öğrenmem ve direkt ana görevlerden yardırmam epey vaktimi aldı.

    Oyunun hikayesini ve karakterleri sevdim. Kampların ve liderlerinin kendilerine özgü kişilikleri olması, iyi ve kötü yanlarının, güçlü yanlarının ve zayıflıklarının olması, iç çekişmelerle uğraşmaları hikayeyi gerçekçi kılmış. Bu açıdan bana Fallout New Vegas'ı anımsattı. Keşke onun gibi rpg olsaymış dedim çoğu yerde. Yanımızdaki arkadaşlarımızın kişilikleri ve kendileriyle yaşadıkları çekişmeler de gayet başarılı işlenmiş. Ve oyunun asıl hedefi olan Sarah'ı bulmak, onu bulma amacının başlaması, bulduktan sonra yaşanan gerilim ve yeniden kavuşma da duygusaldı. Bu açıdan klişe ama iyi işlenen bir hikayeydi.

    Özetle hikaye ve atmosfer olarak fena olmayan, oynanış çeşitliliği ve keyfi açısından biraz sınıfta kalan, açık dünyanın avantajlarını kullanamayan bir oyun olmuş. İkincisi çıkacak gibi bitti. Yenisi gelirse umarım bunda yapamadıkları şeyleri becerirler ve çok daha keyifli bir oyun olur.    … Expand

    Good game and fairly priced seeing the graphics upgrade. My complains is the fps fluctuations (specially when riding the bike), the lack of enemy variety and the minimal bike customization. It's greatest strength is the story and acting in combination with a tight gameplay mechanic that prefers head-on action. I really hope for a sequel and I would pay full price.

    Days Gone is a game that starts off with a great atmosphere, beautiful graphics, and a okay story that tries to drag you in immediately.

    The gameplay is solid, it kinda reminds me of the Last Of Us, and I feel that the developers were inspired by that game, and so they gave us Days Gone.

    The guns feel great to use, melee combat feels amazing, and as I said graphically it is truly a stunning masterpiece, as is the atmosphere but more on that later.

    The stealth mechanic, could use some extra work. Enemies seem to act somewhat irrational when it comes to the stealth route because, sometimes, they see you coming from miles away where as other times they don't see you at all.

    Which was kinda upsetting to me. Also the silencers you can put on your guns, last a very short time, way too short if you ask me. Luckily we can download mods for that, more on that later too!

    The story, without spoiling anything, is kinda disappointing.
    Certain ''things'' happen in the story that is just plain pathetic.
    It basically made me feel like a babysitting adult, you'll understand why when you play it yourself.

    So the story is okay at first, but then it started making some turns that were just really weird and sometimes even annoying.

    The crafting system is alright but it is also pretty basic, and those crafting items you find in the world, seem to be just respawning. So there's no real in-depth in the crafting system and you will not feel like you truly have to survive.

    Deacon the main protagonist, is an annoying loud mouth, and has the mental age of a borderline child. Sometimes he randomnly shouts or just acts extremely childish.

    But the atmosphere and gameplay totally makes up for that, the entire game is huge, and with huge I mean really huge, I think it can take around 60 to 70 hours to complete. Maybe even longer.

    The atmosphere is what makes me keep coming back and play this, the audio is fantastic. The game can turn pretty creepy/scary too when you're playing at nighttime.

    Situations can occur that can change the entire plan you had in your mind about approaching enemies. The motorcycle feels great to handle, and is heavy, it is really there, it has weight to it. And the upgradable parts are a very nice touch as well.

    Hordes are mind blowing to see and are very intimidating. They can be hard to deal with.
    But make you feel extremely immersed.

    If the story was not so mediocre this game would've been easily a 10 for me, but I am giving it a 7 because the story is just really bad. Though others feel the story improves in the second half of the game. I didn't feel like that at all.

    However before playing this I do wanna recommend to play with some mods just to improve the game in overall.

    For starters, I would recommend a longer lasting silencer mod, a bigger hordes mod, and a reshade. This will bring Days Gone really to the spot.

    Great port of a great title. Zombie games are all around us, but Bend Studio managed to squeeze every last drop out of this worn out setting. Everything is well-designed and polished in Days Gone – the believable world and characters in it, the distinct post-apocalyptic aura, the crafting, the thrilling combat and spectacular encounters with bloodthirsty hordes. In addition, this version is well-optimized and runs smoothly on a mid-range PC. [08/2021, p.48]

    The PC version of Days Gone manages to be a superior experience. More polished and better performing than the original on PS4. It doesn't escape its sins however – a story with an uneven pace associated with repetitive and sometimes unnecessary mechanics. The game would benefit if some mechanics were simplified, but it is still a very solid option for those who like open worlds, motorcycles and zombies.

    For my money, Days Gone remains one of the absolute best open-world games on the market, and now more people will have the opportunity to try it out for themselves as it puts its best foot forward. That’s something worth celebrating, I think.
