Driving a bike around has never felt more relaxing, just cruising along the open road or through a forest is one of the greatest feelings ever. Unless you're chased by a massive Horde and faceplant straight into a tree, then it's less relaxing, probably.
Speaking of Hordes, they're scary and intimidating at first but once you get the gear to take them out, it all becomes a matter of keeping your distance and shoot.
As for story it's not terrible, it certainly dips in quality in the final act of the game and that terrible dread felt earlier, is gone for cheesy dialogue and cliché tropes.
Insane soldier leader guy hell-bent on war? Check. Wife who was told to be dead is not actually dead. Check. Rushed crazy predictable cult plot. Check.
Apart from that, most characters are well made and portrayed, not one major character I met is forgettable, even the morally unredeemable characters.

Overall, Days Gone is rough around the edges but there's certainly a lot things to like about it.
