    As in its PC and console-based big brother, you’ll be attempting to kill 99 other hopefuls on an island with an ever-shrinking play area. And, like Fortnite, the most surprising thing about PUBG’s trip to the small screen is that it works so well, with the controls and environment holding together magnificently even on older phones. There’s been a little bit of server instability in its opening few days, but given how solid the rest of the experience is that’s likely to be nixed in short order, making this pretty much the best month ever for battle royale fans.

    PUBG Mobile is a remarkable technical achievement and deserves commendation for being a fully playable, feature-packed, and stable iteration of a demanding PC and console game. Touchscreen controls can be finicky and it will never be as accurate as playing with a mouse or gamepad on a PC or console, but the portability and accessibility of PUBG Mobile more than make up for it.

    PUBG Mobile is a good port from what PUBG offers on Xbox One and PC. The smart use of the touchscreen and its freemium economic model fit really well and make this game an absolute must-have on any mobile device.

    The application is stable and usable, with a good mapping of the commands and a progression system designed to perfection to entice users to return with a certain constancy. Of course, nothing can replace a mouse, keyboard or pad, but for some "on the go" games, PUBG Mobile does its full duty.

    In the fire fight, PUBG Mobile works: the aim is precise, the effectiveness changes depending on the equipped weapon.

    Whether you’re dead-set or on the fence about picking it up, it only takes a stable WiFi connection and the tap of a button, so you may as well give it a go. Don’t blame me if you get addicted, though.

    Despite some shortcomings, PUBG is still an incredibly compelling experience on mobile.

    PUBG Mobile is awesome, but your smartphone battery will suffer like hell.

    While it’s nice to see Battle Royale games on mobile, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds doesn’t translate well to a mobile experience due to its poor touch controls and lack of optimization.

    Never would I have thought that PUBG of all games would be coming to mobile, and it is surprisingly good! The game actually feels like PUBGNever would I have thought that PUBG of all games would be coming to mobile, and it is surprisingly good! The game actually feels like PUBG and the controls for me, have worked pretty good. There are some differences between mobile and PC or Console, as to be expected from a mobile port, first off there are TONS of bots to try and fill the 100 players slot with the currently low population. You will be running get shot in the leg seemingly out of nowhere only to turn around and see a guy standing just staring at you these are the bots... they work as more of a free kill and loot system as I never finish a game with under 7 kills. Another difference is that loot has been seriously boosted, and for good reason, a SCAR or M416 is basically a guarantee. Overall it is exactly what is advertised, PUBG on mobile devices, that somehow runs smoother than the Xbox version, hopefully the devs get it more widely advertised so brainless bots can be a thing of the past.… Full Review »
