Days Gone. New to me. My pet peeve is that the motorcycle is a piece of junk. It's got like 1.5 gallon gas tank and gets something like 2km/gallon. Or maybe it's 1 mpg, but the game uses metric for distances and imperial for volume.
I'm playing that one now too. You're right, it's annoying that you can only drive for like two or three minutes on the bike before it's out of fuel. But I quickly got used to looking for fuel cans and planning around gas stations. There are enough of them. It's a deliberate choice, I think, to increase your engagement with the world and prevent you from just driving through it.
Overall I'm very impressed with the game. The story is really engaging. The gameplay and mechanics are solid and well balanced. The rules are not always intuitive, but once you learn them they are consistent. The longer I play it the more time I want to spend with it.
I played through that fairly recently! Unexpected gem, I thought. In the early game, doing missions for Copeland's camp will eventually get you access to a larger fuel tank. The best rewards, imo, were the guns you unlock by taking down hordes.
