There is a lot to be enjoyed in Days Gone – variety in gameplay, large arsenal of weapons, satisfying stealth mechanics, and riding a motorcycle through a vast open-world. But the game takes a beating when it comes to its story, which is an in-cohesive mess with bland storytelling and shallow characters that lack any sort of charisma or real motives.

Nothing else quite captures the experience of being hunted by a mammoth horde or finally taking them down with equal parts brain and brawn. Yes, it has its issues, there are some annoyances and oversights, but they aren’t enough to keep me from recommending Days Gone to just about everyone with a PS4.

If you tore chunks out of Dying Light, Far Cry, The Last of Us, Sons of Anarchy and a bunch of other open-world titles then threw them all into a blender, you’d probably end up with something akin to Days Gone. It’s a game with lots to enjoy, a ton of world to explore and some sensational visuals to take in. As seemingly generic as much of it is on first glance, Days Gone opens up to prove that it’s capable of punching its weight in a crowded area of the gaming landscape. A slow start to the story might put some off, and there are still a few technical issues that raise their head on the odd occasion, but there is plenty in here that gives you cause to overlook them. Farewell, Oregon, I had a great time clearing you out of Freaks.

Post-apocalyptic Oregon is clearly a place developer Bend Studio have thought a lot about, and crafted with tremendous amounts of care and attention to detail.

Days Gone, when it has moments of clarity, skirts the line of being brilliant. It could have been an instant classic if it weren't for the giant missteps that happened with regards to the story's pacing and some very strange decisions regarding Deacon as a character. With an expansive open-world worth exploring and well-crafted mechanics, Days Gone is an enjoyable ride, but expect to get some bugs in your face.

I played Days Gone, I thought that if Sony Bend Studio had more time to develop this game, it could be something way better than this product, even one of the best games of this generation.

There are a few rough edges, and I’ll be keen to see how the system handles larger and larger groups of the undead, but at the moment, I’m looking forward to seeing more of the Oregon wilderness.

Days Gone in addition to being an exciting survival adventure, is also a journey into a new, tough world. A world where one's death is the life of another, and the values that once constituted the civilized society have long since collapsed.

Days Gone is another great exclusive PlayStation 4 title that offers everything a modern survival game should and adds breathtaking zombie hordes on top. Although it's not without its faults, Days Gone is still a must play game for everyone who owns the console. Don't expect anything revolutionary or unprecedented, but as a start of a new franchise, it turned out very well.

Overall, Days Gone is an absolutely brutal, rewarding, and phenomenal narrative experience, mixed with great action, and fun gameplay. It's the perfect combination of survival mechanics to make the title more intense, with natural characters, a rewarding storyline, and addictive gameplay.

Even with its snail-pace plot, Days Gone manages to deliver a truly chilling open world experience.

Its ambition goes beyond the technical side —you can find a very honest type of ambition in its best moments, but there's not many of those in the game, and they are not as important as they should be.

Days Gone has characters that make you smile, and a trusty bike ready to take you away. For while some irritations persisted during my playthrough – such as the technical irregularities that need to be patched – that its encounters provide a real sense of accomplishment makes it an open world worth exploring.

Days Gone may not be the most original and innovative title, but it's still a very solid open-world story adventure that won't give you anything for free. For about thirty hours of gameplay I was genuinely entertained.

With Days Gone Bend Studio delivers over long distances a well working survival game with an exciting open world, but unfortunately stand in its own way due to a dull storytelling, a clean, but simplified Gameplay and some technical issues. Nevertheless, fans of open world games and the fight for survival should give the exclusive a try.

Hordes are definitely different and amazing but everything else is quite generic. I fear this will only leave so much and nothing more in the next few weeks.

Think of the most unremarkable thing you've ever blended together in a blender. That's Days Gone. It's a strange game in Sony's library of games this generation as one would not expect this from the publisher. If anything Bend Studios deserve another chance to create their magnum opus because Days Gone clearly is not that

Days Gone is glorious. It took some time for the story to find its groove, but once it did I was hooked. After completing the game I immediately hoped for a sequel, and if that's not a glowing endorsement I don't know what is.

Sure, it's clunky at points, has enough rough edges to cut someone, and is perhaps too slow in getting to the good stuff, but give Days Gone and Deacon a chance and they will win you over.

Days Gone creates a world that wants to eat you alive, and you will gladly stay and be back for seconds despite the problems.
