Play Overview
DayZ (2019)is a post-apocalyptic open-world survival game. The population are infected with an unknown virus and you play as one of the few who are immune. You fight other survivors for limited resources and weapons. However, If you die there are no extra lives and you have to start over.
Some compelling features of the game include dynamic weather, day and night cycle, the infected and animal predators, hunting and crafting, injury stimulation, and the ability to build and improve bases and drive vehicles for travel and material transport.
The game offers a sandbox world where players can use their skills and knowledge of the game to survive using different strategies. There are guns and fighting but this has to be carefully weighed against risk and cost.
