Minute to minute, this is about as gruelling as survival games get. If this all sounds a bit miserable, it is.
The map, Chernarus, is a former Soviet republic, and dripping in misery Veteran players will remember the agony of climbing a ladder and ending up inexplicably dead at the bottom of it. At least those damn ladders have finally been sorted out. And the chances that you’ll be killed by some unseen sniper, usually seconds after you finally find something good, is always high. You can scour an entire town for supplies only to find one dirty jacket, a tin opener, and no tins. The zombies still get stuck in walls or just completely fail to notice you at all. You still have to run for miles to meet up with friends. For better or worse, it’s the game I remember. But honestly, I wasn’t expecting much else. It’s kinda absurd that, in a 1.0 release, there are still problems that have been stubbornly lingering since the alpha days. There’s something comforting about the fact that DayZ is still DayZ, with its clunky controls, buggy zombies, and commitment to making surviving as hard as possible. Five years later and DayZ, having gone through an extended Early Access period, is finally out.
