    Hay muchos survivals, pero ninguno como DayZ, a pesar de sus bugs y de los haters que no saben jugarlo.

    If you're interested in a survival game with a massive open map, random survivors popping out of places you'd never think of and the challenge of having to literally scour every building looking for resources, then this game is for you!

I'm not going to lie, this game is marmite. You'll love it, or you'll hate it. I myself find it to be close to the DayZ I used to play when it was just an Arma Mod on Steam. Yes I live in the hope that the producers will continue to develop the game to be more fluid & intuitive. I strongly believe that this game is worth the try before condemning it to the pile of 'never trieds'! Expand

    Definitely a Game that has its Issues but the Dev's are Constantly working on it & Updating it with New Content & Mechanics. The Game is also Still in Beta.

    The Game Doesn't Hold your Hand, It's a HardCore Survival Game which Requires High Skill Level & Patience to Play. (Most of the Bad Reviews are players that Don't understand how to Play the Game Properly & Cry Because They Die too

    (Most of the Bad Reviews are players that Don't understand how to Play the Game Properly & Cry Because They Die too Much & can't get out of the 1st Town they Spawn in.)

    The Map is Biggest Map I've ever played in a Game, The Terrain is Scanned From Real Life Russia & The DLC Map Livonia is Scanned from Real Life Poland.

    The Game is Not for Everyone but you can have an Experience in this Game that you cannot get anywhere else.

    If you're not used to Bohemia Interactive games then the level of difficulty to begin playing may surprise you. I come from an ARMA background and these games are design to be realistic. BI games often have extreamly mild bigs which add to the charm of the game. This game is truly amazing. You have to hunt, find food, cook, kill zombies, loot cities all while avoiding contacr eitg otger players.

    Für mich ein mega Spiel und das über 10 Jahre. Es hatte Höhen und Tiefen aber Spaß hat es immer gemacht.

    You know that feeling when you can’t wait to play something you’ve been so excited about, but you fast discover that it should have been left alone? I’ve just had that with DayZ on Xbox One.

    Those who are fans or like the theme of extreme survival and have time to play many hours, will find a good title beyond the bugs. However, those who don't enjoy many hours of play or just don't spend much time on a single game will find the title quite slow.

    DayZ is a game of constrast: you love it or you hate it, there is no middle ground. Bohemia Interactive have managed to improve the game, but they haven't in other aspects, especially in the technical part. However, as a survival game DayZ is extremely tense, exciting and hard. Playing with friends improve the experience, but is enjoyable standalone as well.
