Superb zombie-slaying combat and enjoyable motorcycle gameplay are integrated perfectly with a well-paced story. But the game’s major highlights are the terrifying zombie hordes which are unlike anything seen in a videogame so far.
For better or for worse, Day Gone exceeds expectations. Bend Studio focuses heavily on the plot of its latest work, sometimes even at the expense of the gameplay, forced to adapt to the narrative needs of the survival game. Despite this, Days gone is still a very unique experience, thanks to its extremely recognizable personality shining through.
Days Gone is one of the most unfairly underrated masterpieces of all time, from the incredibly stunning, detailed & truly immersive open world, to the unbelievable attention to detail when it comes to constantly changing weather and shifting conditions of the terrain such as fog, rain, wind, mud and even dust to a mesmerizing night sky full of stars, this game gets better and better the longer you play it. The story, dialogue and acting is top notch and the game has so much to do that you will continue to play it for weeks after you finish the main story. If I was given an option of only having the choice of a TLOU 3, a Resident Evil 9 and a Days Gone 3... I would have to choose Days Gone 3 its really just that special and I cant put into words how much of an underrated masterpiece this truly is 10/10.
With jaw-dropping graphics, fantastic music, great gameplay, likeable characters - and terrifying hordes - it is hard to tell that Days Gone is Bend Studios first truly big-budget game. Even though the game is not as polished as the best first party games from Sony, it still might end up as one this year’s best single player experiences.
The game has weak shooting systems and some bad weapons, much like Red Dead Redemption II. But while the other games have been highly rated, Days Gone has had its legs cut out by the bugs.
Days Gone is a fine addition to the evergrowing list of first-party Sony exclusives. Does it have the shine and polish comparable to Naughty Dog's best works? No, but it delivers a dense and beautiful open world that proves that there's perhaps a little bit of elbow room left for zombies in gaming, even if we're not calling them that this time around.
Days Gone is a derivative but enjoyable action-adventure with a beautiful environment, using AI and physics to create exciting moments of procedural entertainment. But its familiar tale of mankind struggling to re-create society after the end of the world and its romantic through-line are haphazardly structured and under-written, and the characters are too busy calling each other sons of bitches and assholes to say or do anything moving, original or profound. This is a game of fun and fury – it’s thrilling at times, but it signifies nothing.
In retrospect, I was probably too harsh on Days Gone. Yeah it isn’t the 10/10 perfect masterpiece some of these idiots are claiming it is, but there are genuinely solid elements that make it tolerable. Fighting this games versions of the zombies was way more engaging than I remember it being. The story is still an absolute embarrassment, but if you are like me and mentally checked out from the plot then you’ll have a much better time. If they had cut out the awful dialogue, then could have very well had a solid formula on their hands.
Improved by many updates, "Days Gone" is a fun open-world zombie game from the makers of "Syphon Filter". A 40-hour adventure, it'll appeal to fans of "The Last of Us" and "Red Dead Redemption". The gameplay is more challenging than you'd expect. Especially tough are the horde nests that you must clear. While not on the level of Naughty Dog or Insomniac titles, "Days" is still an entertaining survival action game. I would rate it with a 7.8 out of 10.
An extremely mediocre game, promised a lot of enemies, as a result, hordes meet a couple of times throughout the game. Unnecessary complications in the form of fuel, a dead and boring open world
The game has a stunning quality at first glance, but over time, it becomes boring as the story progresses, unfortunately, the gameplay is a failed copy of the last of us.
SummarySet in the beautiful, volcanic scarred high-desert of the Pacific Northwest, Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game in which you assume the role of Deacon St. John, a Drifter and bounty hunter who would rather risk the dangers of the broken road than live in one of the “safe” wilderness encampments. The game takes place two yea...
