What Should I Play Now?

Days Gone

Image: Steam / its publisher

  • Open world
  • Zombies
  • Action

A post-apocalyptic open world on the back of a motorbike: you hunt for fuel and scrap to keep it running, craft weapons from whatever you find, help survivor camps, and flee or fight hordes of hundreds of Freakers.

Why play it now

When you have plenty of free evenings: the story alone runs around 35-40 hours and every horde is a sprint for survival.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants their bike to be their life: repairing it, refuelling it and upgrading it so they don't get stranded.

When not to pick it

If repetitive missions wear you down: reviews criticise its slow pacing and filler.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 80 out of 100
  • Exploring: 65 out of 100
  • Story: 65 out of 100
  • Managing: 40 out of 100
  • Thinking: 35 out of 100
