Days Gone Reviews
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

Did I enjoy playing Days Gone? Yes, but not every minute. I would probably enjoy it much more if there were no technical difficulties that undermine the realism Days Gone was trying to create.

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 creates a world that wants to eat you alive, and you will gladly stay and be back for seconds despite the problems.
Days Gone may have the heart and soul of a champion. However, it still needs more spit and shine, especially in the gameplay and flow department, before it can become a big-league player.
Although Days Gone may not easily compete with the rest of Sony's first party titles in technical terms, it does a good job in realizing its vision and standing worthy as another new exclusive IP with substantial foundations for the future.

Sony's long-awaited Days Gone looks gorgeous, but the gameplay is dull and frustrating.
Days Gone features a huge and beautifully looking open world that's great to explore. The game is, however, plagued by many bugs that take away from the experience overall. It's a shame since the story, characters and enemies make the game so much fun to play.

The game meets the baseline level of quality we might expect from a big-budgeted joint, yet it remains a tiresome, empty experience.
