“Game for 85-88 points”: the former head of Blizzard advises buying Days Gone and strongly disagrees with the release ratings

You may remember Days Gone, the open-world survival action game developed by Bend Studios. She was recently praised by a former Xbox and Blizzard executive. The same person who a few weeks ago praised The Last of Us: Part 1 and called on Naughty Dog to port the second part. He did the same with Horizon Forbidden West, while praising PlayStation's strategy for releasing games for PC.

Mike Ibarra wrote in his X microblog that Days Gone at least deserves 85 points. According to Mike, the creators of the game managed to perfectly create a wild environment, convey the whole atmosphere of brotherhood, and the overall tone of the game does not leave anyone indifferent. In conclusion, Mike completely recommended buying the game. In the comments to the post, many people wrote that they also think Days Gone is a great game.

The former head of Blizzard refers to the ratings that the game received upon release. The PS4 version currently has an average rating of 71 on Metacritic. The PC version received 76 points. This is in stark contrast to what PC gamers think. On Steam, Days Gone has 92% positive reviews, and on the PS Store - 4.6 stars out of 5.

Bend Studio released the post-apocalyptic Days Gone in 2019, but the fate of the game was not the best. Then critics rated the project only 70 points, while usually games from Sony score at least 80. Perhaps because of this, we will never see a continuation, despite the fact that at one time players even created a petition asking release a sequel. By the way, the petition has already collected more than 200 thousand signatures.
