Fast delivery. Very good game.

Good survival game. A game that runs perfectly on PS5.

A classic video game. Superb game, a gift for my little brother. Time will fly by… Not for casual gamers (super realistic and very difficult for beginners), do your research before buying.

This game is among my all-time favorites; it has been around for many years with an active dev team regularly updating and staying involved in the game's improvement + development; seeing new patches, updates and even new maps added to the console port (version) of the game! (With another new map, teased, for console in the future!).Originally it was a modded version of the military simulation (Milsim) PC game 'Arma 2' created by a fan whom then later began working with the developers to create a standalone version with a new engine designed specifically to run the game in 2013 – 5 years later, after years of early access, they finally released the first console port on the Xbox one and then the following year PS4.(It is an Online Multiplayer Survival game only, with no offline modes).Although the PC version has MANY different available maps, the console version has tried to supply us with official maps over the years with notable success…It had it's initial map, 'Chernarus' a staggering 225km-squared, based on real eastern-European landscapes (Czech-Republic) and then later added the map 'Livonia' (163km-squared) and offers rich, dense forest biomes with many abandoned towns, villages, camps, hunting grounds, quarries, military bases, airports, etc…Sakhal is it's newest map (83km-squared land) that is a challenging, extremely harsh & dangerous environment that is set in an ice-laden, snowy & volcanic region that presents new dangers and survival mechanics.DayZ actually stands for 'Day Zero' and has establishes a grounded lore over the development of an official version; you begin as a survivor whom has an immunity to the 'infected' that harbor a deadly virus that has wiped out the population.You begin with only a t-shirt, shorts & a pair of shoes, you also have only x1 bandage + a piece of fruit (no fruit on Livonia + on Sakhal a 'damaged' knife to help you get a fire started before you freeze to death).You must survive by suitable clothing, food, water, weapons + equipment as you will have to defend yourself from a dangerous environment that will kill you; there are infected everywhere and hostile players whom will kill you on sight for your loot & the chance to live themselves!You roll the dice by trusting other people as they can, at any time, betray you, even after many hours together – so you must stay vigilant!There are many survival mechanics involved that need to be consciously tended to – you need to keep hydrated & well fed, which can be a challenge in itself as food is scared and if you manage to find & kill an animal, skin it, and make a fire to cook the meat, you are alerting other players to your location via rising smoke + light from the fire!You can make (or find) a fishing rod and fish, or make and set different animal + fish traps or hunt with weapons to procure food.You will get diseases from certain foods + if you decided to handle food with bloodied hands after skinning an animal – human meat will give you brain Prion disease (Kuru) and your character will uncontrollably shake & laugh (which can only be treated with a bullet to the head!).Water, if not properly sterilized, will give you diseases and make you sick, thus rendering you more dehydrated and will slowly kill you.Find a water pump and a clean bottle – but beware, other players will be trying to do the same thing as there are limited pumps! And some camp out these sites for easy kills/loot.If you get too hot you will sweat and wipe your head a lot and if you get too cold, you will audibly shiver, chatter teeth loudly & slowly die + become dehydrated & hungry quicker.Finding the right clothing, keeping cool, staying warming, building fires, staying out of the rain/water, keeping dry…Clothing, when wet, will weigh you down (decrease your stamina) manually and you will have to manually 'wring' the items of clothing out (from: Drenched, to Soaked, to Wet, to Damp) and then either let them dry-off over time or quickly remove all your clothes and dry them by a fire (you will be exposed/vulnerable though). You can make a serious amount of different items, from: makeshift clothing, traps, weapons, gear, cooking tools, fireplaces + upgraded stone fireplaces, bases, among a plethora of other useful items to aid in your survival adventure!..If you interact with other players whom have a disease, without a mask on, you will contract their illness or vice versa and pass it on.Combat is VERY realistic in the sense that you do NOT have magical reloads like in every shooter game, you will have to manually detach your magazine (if you have one) and reload each individual round (bullet/slug/flare/grenade) and then re-attach it and cock the weapon (+ expel the previous shell from a fired round in a bolt-action or break-action firearm).Firearms will become damaged over time (if not already when found) and cause the weapon to 'jam' – which needs to be manually dislodged/unjammed…Bullet-drop needs to be accounted for and nearly every weapon can be manually 'zeroed-in' at differing distances. Weapon attachments can be found like: sights, scopes, flashlights, silencers, bayonets, ghillie wraps, etc…(You can create mundane silencers that break after a few shots).Literally anything that you can pick up can be used as a weapon, whether it be a knife, bat, shovel, frying pan, crowbar, sledgehammer, spanner, screwdriver, piece of fruit/veg, literally everything!..(Holding your breath when firing takes up stamina).You will have to watch your stamina as the more you carry/wear, the less stamina (and speed) you will have – you can only carry as much as each item of clothing/backpack/accessory will carry (which is not a lot) so you have to be mindful as this will get you killed!You can switch between first + third person and fire from the hip or scoped + hit people/infected with your firearm/bayonet.Ammo is scarce/hard to find the specific ammunition you may need as there are so many different types of firearms that require different calibers! And the firearms are not easy to acquire – they need regular maintenance which require 'Gun Cleaning Kits' that are really hard to find + take up a lot of carrying space.Bullet cracks + Shots from your firearms, whether silenced or not, are hyper-realistic and can be heard from hundreds of meters away that will attract hostile players (sometimes groups of people and/or multiple people) to your location + unsilenced shots will attract zombies like flies to sheet! (Silenced shots will only attract zombies if the shot misses flesh and collides with solid objects that will alert them to the impact zone). knocked-out will be dropped to the floor) – you can also tie people up with things like: barbed wire, wire, rope, duct tape, handcuffs… to be able to take their loot/clothing or take them hostage (can be done when the player is unaware of you behind them) but they can break-out of each method with varying times if not 'punched'/struck to stop their attempts.You can jump, climb, walk, jog, sprint, crouch, crouch-run, go prone and crawl + barrel-roll and also lie on your side & back with firearms.There are things like frag grenades, flashbangs, smoke grenades, flares, mines, claymores, bear traps, home-made traps, etc. that can be found around military sites, amongst some of the better weapons, attachments and military gear/clothing… but other players are trying to get the same items as well.On some maps there are different secret bunkers/areas that require keycards/specific items to enter and offer more valuable/rare military gear…If you get an injury, you must treat your wounds/ailments; if it is a cut, you must bandage it, with sterilized bandages/cloth/sewing kit to prevent blood-loss + infections; if you get one of MANY illnesses/diseases, you must try to identify which one and find/use the appropriate treatment (which will take time depending on the severity/stage of the ailments + what kind) – some can only be treated with Tetracycline RARELY found at hospitals + medical tents (military) if it progresses to the later stages (usually after 45 minutes of loud coughing, blurry vision, shakiness etc…).Some symptoms of illness/disease will cause you to black-out, vomit, slowly die, shiver, lose stamina, etc…If you break one of your legs, you will black-out (fall unconscious) from the pain if you try to walk on it, so your only option is to crawl, on the floor, to a bush, chop down/snap off some sticks + either cut up your clothes or use a bandage to make a splint that you have to put on your broken leg to be able to walk slowly and heal faster (15 minutes from 30 minutes without); usually done by falling from height, gunshot to the leg, walking on a landmine, stepping in a bear trap, etc…You can find EXTREMELY RARE car spawns but you would have to find: a car battery, car radiator, spark plug, wheels, gasoline, bottles of water (for radiator) + a jerry can or cooking pots to fill with water and hope that none of these are damaged (EVERYTHING in the game has 5 levels of condition: Pristine, Worn, Damaged, Badly Damaged & Ruined – if something is 'Ruined', it can NOT be repaired or used! There are many different ways to repair each item that would take forever to explain!). (You can play for years before every getting a fully running car!).Among the different & special types of infected + hostile players, there are: packs of wolves + bears that will hunt you down and kill you!If you die, that is it! You will respawn as a different person and can try to find where you died and hope that your loot has not been taken by someone else but most likely, you will die from starvation, dehydration, illness or murder before getting there!There are not easy ways to navigate! There are compasses and maps that you can find (rarely) that are just basic maps of the whole area, plus some small notice-board/billboard-style maps in some places that tell you where you are (but not what way you are facing). Receiver + batteries, put batteries in it then turn it on and that will give you your coordinates but you will have to divide the takes the immersion/fun out of playing a hyper-realistic, hardcore survival game!The DayZ community is still exceptionally vast and diverse, worldwide, with regular daily players ranging up to 1 million (average 500,000 daily players)!.Official & Community (Player-Owned) Servers (that refresh [connections] every few hours to remain at peak performance – you won't lose anything you build, drop or have, see or know is somewhere, it is just a technical event).The Official Servers are run by the developers and offer the original gameplay experience, mechanics + values.The Community Servers are run by third-party hosts that mod/change the layout of the map/s, it's values + mechanics, to suit different types of gameplay/play-styles – whether you want small PvP-based deathmatches, Vanilla gameplay, PvE-dedicated servers where it is easier (increase loot values, reduced survival/disease mechanics, unlimited stamina, less time spent 'un-con', less infected, etc…) or PvPvE (Player vs Player vs Enemy (NPC infected)… Or if you don't have hours & hours to play each day, you can play on a server that is more suitable for the 'working man' as you can play, collect loot, build a base, mods that include traders/shops, scheduled weekend [base] raids, military spawns, custom map that displays your current location, etc… there are various different servers for you to play on that offer different styles of gameplay (I much prefer the original, Official DayZ experience on it's own dedicated servers and sometimes, on the odd occasion, play for a short time on deathmatch servers – a good way to improve/hone your combat/firearm skills and practice)…There are measures in place for when you join an Official server, [Timers] if you leave (takes 15 seconds – so find a good hiding spot so you're not exposed/vulnerable – your character will sit down for the duration of the countdown as it eliminates rage-quitting/combat-logging) – beware, your character will REMAIN in the location that you logged-out for another 30 seconds afterwards, this is to prevent combat logging.You can re-join the same server at ANY time and you will respawn in the EXACT same location with the same gear (takes 1 minute 15 seconds) – but if you join another [Official] server, you will have to wait 90 seconds (1 minute 30 seconds – extra 15 seconds (‘Timer Prolonged due to Server Change’). . .(Community Servers are different, they take about 3 seconds to join as they are customized).Everything you do, makes a difference; each item has a different sound-rating that will make your footstep louder (very loud in general) so be aware as other layers can hear you equipping items + guns (unique, distinctive sounds), your footsteps are prominent and with your rucksack + clothing choice, will make you very 'loud' when moving (has it's own mechanics that also alert infected, which in turn will alert other infected + players). is exhilarating, exciting & will give you rushes of adrenaline when you encounter other players and engage in firefights/combat as you add more value to your character's life when you spend hours, sometimes (if you're lucky) days, weeks, months, risking your life at every second, just to be able to lose it all in a flash – all it takes is one wrong move and you will be dead; a stray (or precise) bullet to the head, a swarm of infected, groups of players, a single player waiting to ambush you, a deadly disease, the weather… so many ways to die yet so addictive to play! hardcore, hyper-REALISTIC survival experience (the most realistic survival game in the world!!) – I genuinely love this game so much and the graphics/textures are pretty good too!Hard to get into at first as it is extremely difficult due to there being NO tutorial/easy mode, it is a serious hardcore game that is so unforgiving that you will become addicted to it's mechanics and get YEARS & YEARS of gameplay out of it + the new desert map that they made a teaser trailer for and will be released in the near future!!This game is a leviathan of a title!

Excellent game. 👌 I knew about this game several years ago, but not being a PC gamer, I hadn't paid much attention to it. However, I recently learned that it had also been released on consoles. I immediately looked into its features, possibilities, and so on. The game blew me away, so I ordered it, and today I finally got to play it. The problem is that all the videos I saw, whether in English, French, etc., were made on PC, and when I tried playing on console, I was completely lost. To give you an idea, the inventory menu was so different that it took me about an hour to figure out how to light a fire. On PC, they just throw everything into the middle of the inventory and create things. On console, it's different. You have to pick up the item, put it in your hand, and then choose what you want to combine it with in the inventory using the O button (PS5). Then you create it, and... Picking things up off the ground (yeah, because at first I'd leave without my bark and bits of wood I'd cut/makeshift matches, etc., ending up like an idiot in front of the fireplace with nothing to put in it) etc. etc. etc… Anyway, it was complicated. Even reloading weapons is a real pain. I haven't found the key to cock the rifle yet, so every time I have to put the magazine in my inventory before putting it back in the weapon so it triggers the animation that it's cocked. Otherwise, you risk ending up facing some guy with a full magazine and not being able to fire a single shot. So yeah, that's complicated too, but oh well. After several hours, I got used to it, and now it's better. I'm not quite at the point of building tents, chests, or a base with a flag, etc., but I'm getting there, which is cool. I recommend the game; it's good. However, on servers with 50+ players, it's tough; there are a lot of bugs, but oh well, for me... The new 1.23 update came out, so it's normal. Besides, just to get the hang of the game, it's better to play on smaller servers. Anyway, who cares, get it, it's cool. Bye. 👋
