How to make a molotov explosion without a molotov? Now you're thinking.

Days Gone just gets better the more you play it.

Though it makes a pretty horrible first impression, and the first couple of hours don't do much to hook you into either the story or the gameplay, it eventually shrugs off its open-world baggage and begins to forge its own identity. From there, Sony Bend's game is an absolute blast, with its stealth-action gameplay finally coalescing and its haunting, dystopian story delivering one of the bleakest post-apocalyptic tales you can find on console.

What remains constant throughout, however, is the challenge. The world of Days Gone is punishing at every level, whether you're being ambushed by bandits, overwhelmed by Freakers or breaking down in the middle of nowhere with the next gas station being miles away (and, most likely, surrounded by Freakers and bandits). The substantial upgrades and skill trees do help ease the pain a little bit, but at no point do you ever feel fully on top of any situation, always just a couple of hits away from death.

However, to compliment a whole bunch of tips and tricks we discussed at launch, there are a bunch of helpful gameplay secrets to discover that will make surviving in Oregon that little easier.
