Strong, Exciting Moments
Repetitive Missions
Bland World and Narrative
While there are some great moments in Days Gone, its best ideas are never at the forefront. Though some critics genuinely enjoyed the title, others criticized its dull narrative and uninteresting world.

Days Gone offers a lot of excitement when facing off against its Freaker hordes as Deacon St. John, but some generic open world elements and gameplay hold it back.
Fun in small bursts, but Days Gone's repetition, bland world, and meandering story make for an unremarkable ride.
Days Gone deserves your attention if you are a fan of the zombie "genre". If you've ever watched I Am Legend or 28 Days Later and thought "I wish there was a game like that!", then you definitely need to play this game. Days Gone is a nice blend of open world and story driven that few games offer, "zombie" or otherwise. For 60$ USD you get 30-60 hours of this type of gameplay, which I feel more than justifies the price tag.
A frequently gorgeous, sadly generic open-world game that runs out of steam well before its extended play-time is over.
Riding and maintaining your bike is great-the boring world, dull missions, and overly serious tone, not so much.
Days Gone is a keen and engaging open world zombie adventure despite some issues.
Surviving the zombie throngs can be a thrilling experience, but the story and open-world structure come in second
Days Gone has its exciting moments, but it fails to say anything interesting or meaningful about its story and characters.
Sony finally confirms the existence of the long-rumored Days Gone remaster, which is coming later this year with extra content.
