Days Gone
HORROR CENTRALITY
58 /100

Days Gone is primarily an open-world action-adventure with survival elements; horror imagery and suspense exist (Freakers, post-apocalyptic dread), but the core experience emphasizes exploration, combat, and story. Fear is present but not fundamental to the core identity, so horror centrality sits in the mid-range.
