Days Gone Still Has A Long Way To Go

COULD SONY’S RUN OF QUALITY EXCLUSIVES BE HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD?

We’ve been pretty spoiled by Sony this generation. Barring the occasional stumble here (Knack)and there (The Order: 1886), the quality of games arriving on the PlayStation 4 as platform exclusives has been pretty excellent across the board. It’s been so impressive that, truth be told, it’s set a standard of expected quality and ingenuity that is effectively impossible for all but Sony’s most trusted and battle-hardened first-party studios to match. That perception of pristine presentation can, of course, bring with it its own share of pitfalls – one of which SIE Bend Studio is stumbling over itself to avoid.
