This game has a slow start and it doesn't handhold the player like some other games. The real excitement begins after the prologue, when you meet Obrian and arrive at Lost-Lake. Unlike some games that can become tedious, the more you play Days Gone, the more you enjoy it. What sets it apart from other games is its accurate portrayal of motorcycle behavior. I own a 2016 BMW scrambler, and the bike in the game feels just like it, especially off-road. The game captures the gravity perfectly, and the gear shifts and clutch work of the character are spot-on. I also loved the fuel economy system; you really need to ease up on descents to save gas. In my opinion, Days Gone offers the best off-road motorcycle physics of any video game. I've platinumed it, but I still play just to enjoy the bike rides amidst the guitar background music, stunning landscapes, and chasing hordes. Despite its commercial success and love from many players, the cancellation of its sequel due to a few negative reviews feels tragic. Days Gone is more than a game; it's an experience. If, like me, you passed on it due to some reviews, you really should give it a shot.
