DayZ is far less a game and more an open toolkit to make a unique but unpredictable adventure.
DayZ is a harsh open-world survival game set in the post-apocalyptic region of Chernarus, where up to 60 players must scavenge, cooperate, or compete to survive. With permanent death, every decision matters as you face infected and other survivors. Manage resources, build bases, and navigate a complex player-driven landscape in this unforgiving, sandbox experience.

Critic Reviews
DayZ (PS4) REVIEW – Too Many DayZ Gone
Dated, buggy, and irredeemably wearisome, DayZ on PS4 offers an experience as empty and uninteresting as Chernarus itself that was certainly not worth waiting nearly half a decade for.

Just about every aspect of DayZ is in dire need of some degree of polish, however, if you persist (and you should) a deep and ultimately ingenious title lay underneath that places a premium on player-made stories. All the same be aware that in its current state, it will take a remarkable degree of patience to get that most from DayZ - such quantities that more than a few folk simply won't have.

DayZ is a complete and utter disaster on PS4. Not only is it profoundly outdated in 2019, it’s also technically inept. A horrendous frame rate brings the experience to a standstill on a worryingly consistent basis, while numerous bugs and glitches are a bewilderment. After taking five years to release, we can’t help but feel like this was an outright waste of everyone’s time.
