I'm probably halfway into the game and I have been pleasantly surprised so far. It's not GOTY material but I feel the critics may have been somewhat overly harsh in their critique as IMO this game is on the same level as the AC and Far Cry games which generally get positive reviews in the range of 8+. It does all of the open style elements just as good as those games and suffers the same issues of repetitive side missions, etc. I feel if the game was sold as Assassins Creed Zombies it would have got generally better reviews as there seems to be a bit of a mob mentality in the video games media industry and because maybe it wasn't quite as polished as some Sony exclusives it seemed that a lot of reviewers in the industry took that as an opportunity to piled on a Sony exclusive much like how they blew the DRM thing way out of proportion at the announcement of the XB1.
If you are a fan of open world action adventure games and aren't sick of zombie games I'm siding with gamers here as this one is pretty good.

If you have PS+ I'd wait a bit, Days Gone is a game that screams it will be a freebie on PS+ sometime in the next few months
