    H1Z1 has some cool modes that give it some extra oomph, but the field of battle royales already has some excellent choices. H1Z1 has a solid foundation of scavenging, shooting, and surviving, but it needs a little more vim and vigor to really compete in the battle royale free-for-all.

    H1Z1 may well have been inspired by the original version of PUBG, and it shows, but in Auto Royale it provides one of the most fun battle royale modes out there.

    The game is very fun and can be played alone or in a team of 2 or 5 members. The goal is to survive until the end. Over 100 players start allThe game is very fun and can be played alone or in a team of 2 or 5 members. The goal is to survive until the end. Over 100 players start all over the map. After certain time intervals the map is made smaller and wrapped with lethal gas. All over the map are for example houses and campsites you can loot.

    Pro:
    - There are enough players so it will be exciting.
    - Animations and player controls work fine and smooth.
    - The map is well designed and provides almost everywhere loot places. Even if you end up somewhere away from cities you can find good equipment.

    Cons:
    - There are not enough weapons. Every round you try to loot an AR or AK and a shotgun. There is no greater selection.
    - The rewards are not valuable and worth barely. The most valuable thing you win at the first places are two different bags. These bags contain 1 of only 5 skins. After a few conquer you unlocked everything.
    - While playing you get randomly crates which can be opened by a key. But these keys are only available in H1Z1 Store and costs around 2.50 Euros.

    Conclusion: Its really a funny game with normal graphics. If you are looking for fun alone or with friends, this game is perfect for in between. But if you're looking for a game where you want to achieve something (like a level), you are definitely wrong. I'm wondering what next updates would bring, because this game is still expandable.    … Full Review »

    H1Z1 is for me the father of the Battle Royale, but unfortunately the game has lost its way in so many ways.
    A game that I bought and played    H1Z1 is for me the father of the Battle Royale, but unfortunately the game has lost its way in so many ways.
    A game that I bought and played in early access but, when the final product came, it became part free, is something that obviously annoyed me, and the feeling is the same throughout the community.
    Of course the game split into two, H1Z1 free, PVP Battle Royal only, and Just Survive was cancelled and the servers were closed past October.

    I cannot in good faith recommend the game because I do not feel valued as a player who blindly invested in early access and had no real reward. But I cannot recommend it either because of the game itself. There are already much better alternatives in the battle royale genre, and this was a "father" that never understand how to adapt.

    Anyway it is free and for anyone who has the opportunity and willingness to test, go for it. The servers are not always full but the experience is acceptable.    … Full Review »
