Remember Days Gone, the thrilling open-world survival game from Bend Studios? Recently, it received high praise from the former heads of Xbox and Blizzard. This same individual had previously lauded The Last of Us: Part 1 and encouraged Naughty Dog to bring the sequel to PC. They also commended Horizon Forbidden West, highlighting PlayStation’s strategy of expanding game releases to PC.
Mike Ybarra took to X to express that Days Gone deserves a minimum of 85 points. He applauded the developers for crafting a rich wilderness environment, capturing the essence of brotherhood, and maintaining a captivating overall tone. Mike even went as far as recommending the game for purchase. The comments section was filled with others echoing the sentiment that Days Gone is truly exceptional.
In my view, this game easily merits a score between 85-88. It’s unjust to give it a lower rating based on some reviews. The attention to detail in creating the wilderness backdrop, the theme of brotherhood, and the overall atmosphere are commendable. If you haven’t already, consider picking it up on Steam – it’s a worthwhile investment.
The former Blizzard executive was referencing the initial ratings Days Gone received. Presently, the PS4 version holds a Metacritic average of 71, while the PC version stands at 76. Interestingly, PC gamers have a much more favorable opinion. Days Gone boasts a 92% positive rating on Steam and a solid 4.6 stars out of 5 on the PS Store.
Released in 2019 by Bend Studio, the post-apocalyptic Days Gone faced a mixed reception. Critics initially rated it at 70 points, falling below Sony’s usual standards of 80 or above. This lukewarm response may impact the possibility of a sequel, despite a petition from fans garnering over 200,000 signatures. The future of Days Gone remains uncertain.
