I thought I'd be chilling in the wilderness, making a fire, cooking beans and maybe chatting up the occasional survivor. Yeah no. About five minutes in I'm crouched in a pitch-black building holding a knife like it's Excalibur while some zombie horde claw at the door like I owe them money. The scenery? Beautiful. The atmosphere? Immersive. The game? Pure panic disguised as survival. I love it and hate it in equal measure - half the time I'm sneaking around like a terrified racoon jumping at every twig snap, the other half I'm jumped by other players and wondering why I thought I'd make it out alive. So here's the catch: don't get attached to anything. Not your character, not your stuff or the friendly stranger you split beans with. Honestly, I've learned to say goodbye the moment I spawn.

Official servers are sadly a joke, LOADED with hackers. Dayz needs to take this MUCH more seriously, buy hacks online and then reverse engineer them to defeat the hacks. Otherwise a terrific game to play solo or with a small group.

> Negotiate indentured servitude with a fresh spawn > Handcuff him and make him clear buildings for me > Slow drip him equipment for doing a good job > Set him free > Adventure together for an hour > He kills me with a rock > Run into him again (he has my gun now) > Now i'm the slave :( 10/10 they grow up so fast
