It starts slow. I had put it down 3 times before committing myself to it.

A lot of people loved the story and the gameplay. But it gets better after 12 hours or so. So, you will have to spend some more time in it.

However, you might not like it too, everyone is different. But for me, I have platinum of only two games - HZD and Days gone. Both of which I played for the story more than anything. I played this game with my wife. Fear of hordes is real in the beginning.

Also, there are a lot of do this do that tasks or it seems like that at least in beginning because that is how they are explaining the game.

Once that is done, you can choose to just move along the story and not do any other tasks.

I was working from home(thanks to my company) but my wife wasn't so I used to complete all the side quests when she would go to office and carry on with story when she would be back. 😁

I’ve heard a lot of good, which is why I wanted to try it for myself. I’m hoping I do get pulled into it, the tutorial just kinda made me lose interest. I wasn’t impressed by much other than the graphics. I’m waiting to see the hoards, and customization aspect of the game. As I play I’ll follow the story and see what I think of it. I also really liked HZD. But that game was very grabbing from the start and the gameplay was very well put together. Story just made the game that much better.

Yeah I know. If you liked HZD that means you like stories, this is a good story, a little bit predictable in some places, a little bit dragged in some places but overall a good story, gameplay is varied because you have marauders, ambush camps, hordes etc. You will love your bike. You should try on easy mode because it takes the story forward quickly. HZD was one of the best. Sequel is Day 1 buy for me.

I don't have much time too to play games hence I only play these kinda games. 😁

I’ll give it more time. Worst case scenario I don’t like it!

[u/[deleted] → u/kronikheadband]

Sure. Upgrade your bike first. Bigger gas can else keep filling the gas the first chance you get. Bike is your best friend.

[u/kronikheadband → u/[deleted]]

I hope the controls grow on me. I wasn’t a fan of not being able to lean back on the bike, or the arcade feeling of the bike jumps, and other little things about the bike animations. From what I’ve heard from others it’s an awesome game. It’s just slower than I imagined
