Days Gone

BEST ZOMBIE GAME EVER. A VISUAL MASTERPIECE. PERIOD.

I am currently half way through this game (so I've been told), and I have not been disappointed. Sometimes the entire day has passed me by and I realise I've been playing for 10 hours. That's how good it is. This game is so underrated. It is kind of a slow burner. The level up system can be kind of slow, depending on how you play the game. But, this game will certainly keep you on your toes. During the day, you can travel around, choosing what to do, bumping into a few zombies, taking out camps, completing missions, occasionally bumping into a hoard. Then at night - ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE!!! It it guaranteed that eventually you will accidentally ride directly into a huge swarm, and if like me, you will scream like b*tch and your Ar*ehole will almost fly out of your mouth. It can be very unnerving travelling around during the night. The Game play is amazing, even if you decide to do nothing. It really does give you the sense of being in a post apocalyptic world. This is the first game in a long time that has held my attention and literally had me addicted. Some upgrade tips for you: BIKE - upgrade the engine so you can hold more fuel. upgrade frame to take more damage. Add ammo storage. SKILLS - to ensure you can take down enemies - I recommend upgrading your ranged weapons skills. An a particular survivor instinct which allows you to see where enemies are when using focus. Another essential is being able to repair melee weapons and another to increase the damage melee weapons give out. Enjoy. this game will not disappoint you.

I got it free on ps plus. If there was a demo i would have gladly paid full price. Game is extremely long in a good way. More stuff kept coming. Great story. Great visuals. Fun gameplay. I hope it gets a sequel.

Days Gone is a game that knows the story it wants to tell and expects the player to give it the time it deserves. I started Days Gone and fell out roughly 15-20 hours in, due to all the (never ending) games that were coming out. Eventually, I came back to it after a few months off and was blown away. The story is something like Red Dead II in my opinion, it's a slow burn that builds up into something truly special. This is not another FarCry or Assassins creed open world where you collect towers to open up your map, nor is it a Last of Us clone like it would you lead you believe. Maybe it's the biker in me talking and giving this a score, but this game spoke to me and will stay on my top 10 favorite games of all time. It tells a story that is actually real, with real people trying to survive in a world filled with nothing but horror. If you have a PS4 and you like single player experiences then you owe it to yourself to play this game. If nothing else, look at Sony's track record on the PS4 and know that a lot of love and time went into this game just like the rest of the AAA titles they have been putting out. Give Days Gone the time it deserves, and in return you will be given a game that is truly worth your time. I may have only given this game a 9 (only cause of some technical flaws you will encounter on the way for sure) but it is for sure worth your hard earned money and time. Keep in mind that Bend is not the biggest studio and this is also their first AAA console product, truly impressive Bend. I hope we one day get a sequel to this amazing game.

By no means perfect, but great gameplay, fantastic voice acting, great story that gets you really involved, brutal combat and overall this is one of the best zombie games you'll ever play. I genuinely want a sequel, and to replay this one again now!
