I get it’s the apocalypse, but a few more cosmetics would’ve been nice.

Really all that sets your bike apart from another player’s is the paint job. Some you have to get for the performance boost, even if you aren’t a fan of the aesthetic. Since you’ll spend a lot of time with this iron horse, you are able to customize it. Your bike is your main, and only, form of transportation. You can tell Bend Studios put some time into making the bike feel good to drive. Maybe options that could make your bike look like a 50s hog, a dirt bike, a military bike, or a crotch rocket.

Again Days Gone is just the bare basic model of an open world game. You also don’t have as much interaction with the world or the sorta fun roleplay features I liked. You are mostly just riding your motorcycle, which granted, riding motorcycles is always fun, especially when you get it upgraded to do some sweet jumps. Days Gone does have random encounters but they are either off the beaten paths, so you have to go seek them out, or it’s one of the two types of ambushes the raiders set up. RDR2’s Old West with its constant encounters and unique locations. Days Gone’s Oregeon forests seem so empty and barren vs. I kinda despise Red Dead Redemption 2 for ruining open world games for me. There’s some good parts, but they are set off by the crappy parts. Unfortunately, this game is average to a fault. “Grizzled biker fighting zombies” seemed like a fun romp to pass the time.

Admittedly, I didn’t expect much from Days Gone.
