    DayZ, a perfect example of why Early Acces is a bad thing.

    By nitroxis | Review Date: Apr 10, 2014 | PC

    After playing DayZ for 12 hours straight now, I must say that I am extremely disappointed. I like the idea of this game itself, but it is so poorly designed. It becomes boring after some time, and the game probably nee... Read Full Review
