DayZ, The early access game, released 16th December 2013, after a good year and a couple of months, the game is slowly but steadily developing, many people dislike it due to the slow development, it is fantastic, for those of you who don't know, DayZ is a large open world survival horror game, only available on PC to Steam users, It is a fantastic game to play, and since the release, has actually developed more than most people anticipate, new guns, cars, new islands, locations, after selling 3 million copies worldwide, I can safely say, one of the most addictive and best games I have ever played, there is so much to do, the battle for survival, finding your loot, travelling to the military bases, airfields on the 50 player servers, sniping with your mosin, finding the crashed heli-sites in hope of an M4A1.
As the game is in alpha development, they're is many glitches, slowly but surely they are being patched up, you may experience many glitch deaths, come across a few hackers, but it is that enjoyable, you can restart your character again after your death and carry on.
The Cheranus map is extremely large, meaning you will have some long runs, unless you go and find a truck and it shortens the journey, even running for a couple of hours, it's fun, the scenery is amazing, the towns are also, so many advantages for this game and only a few disadvantages, for example, you do need a very good computer to run the game at good FPS, I have a HP Envy laptop with an AMD A10-5750M APU & Radeon HD Graphics 2.50 GHz, also 8.00gb RAM, and mine runs okay, pretty laggy sometimes so I have all my quality settings, vsync, etc down to the lowest, disabling clouds & shadows etc, and it only just runs, but then again, most people these days have very good computers, overall, DayZ is a fantastic game, and I am very proud to say I am an owner of the game, having played 300 hours of it, I can honestly say it's probably been the most enjoyable game I have ever played.
As a personal opinion, I rate DayZ a 9/10, mainly due to the specifications needed to run the game well, and also the glitches, but overall, it is a fantastic game.
