Whether you dabbled in Days Gone previously and want to give it a second chance, or diving into the world for the first time. The PC port of Days Gone is a solid experience.
It's the different approach to Days Gone's storytelling that sets it apart from most other open world games. Despite this, the elongated storyline can make some parts feel like a slog but even so it's very much worth your time to experience it.
Days Gone is a good action game in which the player must deal with hordes of zombies and try to survive, managing their inventory as much as possible. Although its history and gameplay are generic, its technical performance on the PC is commendable, and it is worth checking out for those who like action games.

At this PC version, the graphics were improved and there was no optimization problem and bugs. But unfortunately, the old matters remain. It still has attractive story and its familiar combat system gives a lot of fun as you expect, but its monotonous sub-quests and hollow open worlds may disappoint you.

The game still has a few issues that should be fixed within a few patches but is easier to play than when it launched on the PlayStation 4. Bend Studio has done a great job improving Days Gone’s graphics, however, you need a powerful pc to enjoy the game on the highest setting. Even on medium graphics, the game still looks amazing even if less detailed. There are still the occasional visual bugs whether it be Freakers or allies, which can slow the progress of the game. The game’s audio does need to be worked on slightly due to the game sometimes signifying enemies are nearby even when clear. Overall, Days Gone is an enjoyable experience that is great for a single playthrough, possibly a completionist or modded run. Beyond that, most gamers who have a giant library will play Days Gone once and be done. For an older game, Days Gone releasing on Steam for $49.99 seems a bit overpriced. Yes, the game is enjoyable and provides you with over 25 hours of gameplay, but it is still an older game. A launch price of $39.99 would have been a fair selling price. For those who do not have a PlayStation 4, it is an enjoyable title that is worth picking up. For those who have already played it, it might be worth skipping over or waiting until it goes on sale.
So overall, while the graphic upgrades to Days Gone on the PC (as long as the PC can handle it) are amazing especially compared to either a Sony PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 4 Pro, Days Gone is still the same title and that’s not a bad thing. Between the non-linear storyline that lets you explore at your own pace and the solid gameplay design that is just as easy to handle twenty, thirty, or forty hours down the line as it is in the beginning, there’s plenty to do, love and explore in a world that’s seen better days.
Days Gone's PC port doesn't fix the game's generic premise or writing issues, but it does offer a slew of technical improvements that takes advantage of the PC's better hardware. Pair those with a compelling world and some great gameplay and you have an adventure that's better than it's often given credit for.
It isn't going to be the best or most memorable one-of-these you'll ever play, but Days Gone on the PC is a solid checkbox open-world zombie experience to sink a few dozen hours into.
Days Gone’s post-apocalyptic Oregon looks great and plays even better on PC, giving anti-hero Deacon St. John the redemption arc he deserves.
Days Gone is a long and slow burn that is well worth it. It tells a relatable story that feels grounded, and the later stages have some truly memorable moments, both in terms of story and gameplay. With all previous DLC included, some nice improvements for PC gamers, and the capability to run at high frame rates, the PC iteration of Days Gone is the definitive version to play.
Days Gone is neither among the best PlayStation exclusives, nor one of the most original games out there, but what it offers is, for the most part, pretty good.

Days Gone on the PC is a great experience that brings a stellar upgrade for graphics that take full advantage of the dynamic weather system. And, with a much smoother ride than it got on console, this is well worth the buy for PC-players looking to get in on zombie action. While it definitely plays better on controller, the experience is still a great one.
Days Gone on Steam is a very competent port with lots of options to tailor to your PC. It’s a great game but still suffers from pacing issues, especially early on.
Days Gone is a production that's close to being "very good" but remains a "good game", and I recommend playing it.

Zombie roadtrip with bike offers good experience on PC.

Days Gone on PC offers a visually pleasing experience and solid in its entirety, thus erasing the few technical mistakes of the PS4 version. It is pleasant to follow the tribulations of Deacon St John for several hours, despite some black spots like the AI, the repetitiveness of the missions and the bestiary which is sorely lacking in variety. However, this does not prevent Bend Studio from offering a technically successful title.

The PC version of Days Gone is a solid port of a great game. It doesn’t go above and beyond by delivering anything extra, and some additional features such as DLSS support would have been nice, but as it is, it performs just fine. Stick with it past its mediocre first few hours, and Days Gone is an excellent open world adventure. Beautiful yet bleak in equal measure, its world is a pleasure to explore – and once it gets going, its story won’t let you go.
Days Gone is not the final, nor the definitive or the perfect version of Bend Studio's action adventure, as it never was, but with the upgrades coming from the PC release it sure is the best it could ever be.
