5. Seamless Open World

Like God of War, Days Gone will feature a seamless open world free of load times. This means players can travel between the interior of buildings within having to endure a load screen. This will keep the player engaged as this buildings house valuable supplies and judging from the recently released 1-bullet trailer you're going to need every advantage.

4. Complete Side Events

Days Gone's story is expected, according to the developers, to be around 30 hours long. More if you want to complete everything. During the adventure, you'll come across survivor camps. These are not good people and you'll need to clear them out if you want to establish fast travel points within the game.

In addition, dynamic events will occur that range from helping survivors to ambush attacks from hostile humans and Freakers.

3. Take Care of Your Bike

Unlike most survival titles protagonist Deacon does have access to a vehicle. His motorbike is one of the most essential tools available to the player. It can be used for escaping enemies, storing ammo, respawn point, and even cover. But it's not invulnerable.

The bike can be damaged and run out of gas. This means raiding camps and occasionally making repairs. You can customize the bike ranging from cosmetic to performance. Keep your bike functional, the last thing you want is to be stranded.

2. Be Smart, Craft Items, Power Deacon

Days Gone may look like a third-person action but you'll need to use those survival-horror skills. This means locating items and material for specialized tools and weapons. Deacon can also upgrade himself by clearing NERO checkpoints. These served as safe areas before the infection overwhelmed everyone can house the best items. They are also the most heavily guarded.

1. Smart Freakers

Unlike traditional zombies which wander around looking for uninfected the creatures within Days Gone are a bit more intelligent. They've been seen drinking, eat, sleep, and will act differently based on the time of day. You can the basic Swarmers, Screamers which attract more Freakers, infected children known as Newts that are very territorial, and the Breakers which are giant body-builder like creatures that will smash your head in.

The Freakers are not limited to just altered humans, with wildlife also getting infected. We've seen wolves, crows, and bears succumb to the infection. 

Freakers usually travel in packs and they'll charge you in mass. Simply shooting won't work and you'll have to act smart. Placing traps, having a way out, and never back yourself in a corner. You can use Freakers to your advantage, luring them into enemy camps but be smart about it. They'll attack any noninfected. 

Days Gone launches for PS4 this April 26th. Pre-order and obtain the Drifter crossbow early unlock, nitrous upgrade #1, gas tank upgrade #1, shroud upgrade #1
