So far it's pretty good, but man the Odyssey I had to go on to find a Jerry Can once my Bike ran out of fuel took me the better part of a year

I put off playing this game for a long time but thankfully I was rewarded when I finally got around to Days Gone.

First of all, this game runs amazingly. Getting 100-144FPS maxed out. Zero crashes, stuttering, or game breaking bugs.

The visuals and effects are top notch. I caught myself admiring the visual fidelity of the game in general all the time. Really stunning landscapes with plenty of spooky zombie-filled caves to show off the lighting and shadows.
I really enjoy the sound design that came through from the dynamic weather, motorcycle, gunfire, etc

The game may be following the well-known open world formula but it has nailed it as good as any game ever has.

Fighting hordes of zombies as a first time player on hard mode is tense and gets the adrenaline pumping which got addicting as I continued to upgrade my gear and bike. This game gives you plenty of moments to make you feel like a bad-ass and I love it for that. Drifting your way through a horde of Freakers in the middle of a snowstorm on the side of a mountain makes you feel so cool.


This game is definitely worth your time and money.
