Two years after a devastating pandemic, former outlaw biker and bounty hunter Deacon St. John travels through a dangerous Pacific Northwest wilderness. He takes work from survivor camps while searching for hope after personal loss.
Explore rural towns, forests, caves, and other abandoned places for supplies, then use crafted weapons, traps, and skills to face infected Freakers and hostile survivors. Encounters range from stealth and ambushes to desperate fights against massive hordes.
Your motorcycle is essential for crossing the open world, so you must find fuel, repair it, and improve its capabilities. Complete missions and help survivor camps to build trust and develop Deacon’s skills and equipment as weather and the day-night cycle shape your travels.
In this selected sample, recurring praise focuses on the character-driven story, the tension of confronting large Freaker hordes, and the motorcycle’s role in both travel and survival. Players also often appreciate the Oregon setting and the sense of atmosphere it creates. Some reviewers say the opening takes too long to build momentum, and opinions differ on the story and how repetitive the missions become.
Days Gone is an open-world action-adventure game set in a harsh wilderness two years after a devastating global pandemic.
Step into the dirt flecked shoes of former outlaw biker Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter trying to find a reason to live in a land surrounded by death. Scavenge through abandoned settlements for equipment to craft valuable items and weapons, or take your chances with other survivors trying to eke out a living through fair trade… or more violent means.
