Days Gone
Days Gone, développé par Bend Studio et édité par Sony Interactive Entertainment, est un jeu d'action-aventure en monde ouvert sorti le 26 avril 2019 sur PlayStation 4, puis sur PC en mai 2021 et sur PlayStation 5. L'histoire place le joueur dans la peau de Deacon St. John, un ancien motard hors-la-loi devenu chasseur de primes, qui erre dans le Nord-Ouest Pacifique deux ans après une pandémie mondiale ayant transformé une partie de l'humanité en créatures violentes appelées Freakers. Animé par l'espoir que sa femme Sarah soit encore en vie, le personnage affronte factions hostiles et menaces de la région tout en cherchant un sens à sa survie.
Le gameplay repose sur l'exploration, le combat et la survie, avec l'usage d'armes, la fabrication d'objets et la moto de Deacon comme moyen de transport indispensable dans un environnement vaste et hostile marqué par un cycle jour/nuit et des conditions climatiques changeantes. Le titre propose un récit narratif mêlé à un monde ouvert peuplé d'événements dynamiques, de camps ennemis et de défis environnementaux, avec des décors allant des forêts aux plaines enneigées et zones volcaniques. La durée de la campagne principale est estimée à environ trente-six heures et demie, et à soixante-cinq heures et demie pour une approche complétiste.
Disponible au prix de 39,99 euros, Days Gone a reçu un score de 76 sur Metacritic et de 72 sur OpenCritic, pour une note agrégée de 75,05. La presse a salué un combat contre les zombies soigné et un gameplay à moto bien intégré à un récit bien rythmé, tandis que certains joueurs sur Steam ont exprimé leur enthousiasme pour les cinématiques et l'ambiance, tout en relevant quelques micro-freezes, et d'autres ont jugé le jeu sous-estimé une fois les bugs corrigés.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Superb zombie-slaying combat and enjoyable motorcycle gameplay are integrated perfectly with a well-paced story. But the game’s major highlights are the terrifying zombie hordes which are unlike anything seen in a videogame so far. »
« There is a lot to Days Gone, and it is a larger game than people might expect. »
« Bend Studio delivered a great narrative game, innovative mechanics, addictive gameplay, a very well-considered progression curve, great audio design, stunning graphics, and it's very fun to play. The hordes of the game are something that we've never seen and are simply amazing, an impressive technological display that's not just surprising but a lot of fun. Days Gone is a very welcome addition to the PlayStation classics library. »
« I can’t think of many other open world games that pack in as much character, as much wonderfully crafted narrative that Days Gone does. Sure, it’s a story about a world overrun with a deadly virus. But it’s also a story about people, about hope, about survival. It's at times uplifting, others heartbreaking. Couple that with Days Gone's beautiful setting and a varied array of well-designed story missions, and you're left with something pretty special. »
« Days Gone checks all the boxes of a proverbial PlayStation exclusive, but never feels like it’s stepping on anyone else’s toes. Despite the games, film, and TV that you can easily draw comparisons too, Days Gone handles it all in such a way that it has its own unique identity. The more I played it, the more I loved it, until finally finishing the long journey and not wanting the adventure to end. Sam Witwer is brilliant as Deacon St. John, and his journey of survival, humanity, and self-discovery through a deadly world via motorcycle is a memorable one that shouldn’t be missed. »
« A huge open-world horror, stealth-action, adventure melting pot that manages to tap into everything we love about Sony’s games while finding its own voice buried beneath the horde of ideas. Days Gone has been worth the wait. [Issue#162, p.74] »
« Days Gone is an exceptionally refined and gorgeous open-world action adventure game. It doesn't bring a whole lot new to the table but what it does offer is hours upon hours of exciting gameplay and a layered (albeit often overly verbose) narrative. »
« Days Gone has an astonishing and rich open world with great characters and a lot of quests to accomplish. Bend Studio is finally becoming great. Sony must be proud. »

« Great game. Just finished playing it for a second time. I'd love to see a sequel. »
« I gave it a 2 star review.. the game was actually really special and entertaining but I can’t handle the absolute disgusting decisions made so many time by the main character.. the absolute worst was skisso.. I would and tried to kill him by the caves on that one mission.. I hated that .. someone made a good game and like his stupid nephew who he hired made the characters decisions so unfortunately absurd »

« The game is heavily inspired by "The Last of Us" series, but it expands on the idea and the series' combat mechanics. Nothing like going on a ride in a world collapsing on itself. Would recommend. »
« Muy buen juego. Historia entretenida, conducción satisfactoria y mecánicas de combate fluidas. Las hordas una gozada y el protagonista carismático. Quizás le sobre alguna horilla al final. »
