    In my opinion the worst of the biggest BRs on the market. Comparing it to Fortnite, Apex and Warzone PUBG simply dies on the vine.

    The first issue you'll run into is the optimization. It hasn't improved much since the launch of the game. It's horrible although the game looks like stitched up Unity assets. Thank god this game is free now and not like it used to be. My second point is

    My second point is the gameplay. The recoil feels terrible and FP camera looks quite clunky when compared to TP point of view. The movement is really strange. Sometimes it feels like you're sliding on the floor and sometimes your character can barely move. While the unforgiving aspect of the game can be really adrenaline pumping in the moments where there's nothing happening the game can feel like a walking simulator. Yes that aspect also extends to other BR games but in PUBG because of the size of the maps it really shows. Along with it's unforgiving nature it creates really unfun situations in which you're often killed before you even have a time to react.

    Along with it comes lots of controversies the game and dev team had through it's lifespan like for example releasing an unfinished and broken port of a game for consoles when the game itself hasn't been fully finished.

    Overall the PUBG in the bigger scale may not seem that bad but when compared to it's competition it has nothing to offer apart from unforgiving gameplay and semi-realistic weapon systems. If you really want to play a battle royale you've got a ton of better, free and more fleshed out options.

    Too much **** players that proning in the blue zone and wait until sombody cross their pass. Non sense non fun gameplay. Pubg should change its priciples about blue zone. People picking up a huge amount of meds and jammer pack and camping in the blue. It must got a faster movement that campers cannot one shot players

    PUBG: Battlegrounds is not really free-to-play, but rather a demo version, it is possible to download PUBG for free. But there is a catch. You cannot play Ranked and Custom mode for free. If you can get by with Normal or Training mode and Team Deathmatch, there is nothing to worry about, which is limited to only a few matches and then you are out of luck.

In addition, you will also get some skins and 1300 G-Coins. 1 map all the way around. Expand

    What "PUBG" stands for is below:
    Plagues the players with tons of Chinese and hackers
    Unoptimized as hell even "decent" rigs can never keep up Ballsuck teamers and team-killers everywhere to ruin your fun Garbage, the total garbage nobody should even look at The devs are all brain-dead, money-bagging, fraudulent scammers. They have no idea about making the game better or "FIXED",

    The devs are all brain-dead, money-bagging, fraudulent scammers. They have no idea about making the game better or "FIXED", they won't do something with infesting cheats, but all they do is money milking. With no doubt, it is the worst game ever, the most toxic cancer in the entire gaming industry. We can never see why that ****ness still exists, while there are quite a lot of BR followers which are definitely better than that. All we need is the DEATH of the game and the bodies of the entire dev team, including that PlayerUnknown guy.

    And for what reason does this game refuse to run? Just a flight without explanation. Probably I have something licensed, what is IT swearing at all the time? Strange, but how does he let cheaters into the game then? I'm already silent about the horse update system, where each patch weighs like half a game.

    I gladly tried the game out on a HEAVY discount, quickly refunded, was a couple months ago and glad my intuition was correct on refunding because now it's a free to play garbage of a mess.

    why should i play against NPCS like 6h when i just want to play, this game wasting my time 0/10 i didn't see the game at all, only 10 IQ NPCS around 3h, oh and low FPS
    Игра тупо не дала мне нормально поиграть так-как прежде чем попасть к обычным игрокам я должен был от играть 10 матчей с NPC а это где-то 6 часов. Разрабы издеваются? Низкий ФПС и не стабильный фреймрейт

    It was at the right place at the right time to explode with the rise of BRs. It's fallen far, far, far from the heights of 2016-2017. It was a great time when it lasted but it's miserable to play nowadays.

    The fact that the game has a 85 metascore is really amazing to me. The game is not good name any other BR and it's probably more worth your time than this game. Fortnite? Warzone? Apex? go play any of them

    Really slow. Weapons and hit-reg are so bad. Walking, running, driving, shooting and everything else is slow and feels so bad. You will keep walking and walking to find some action, and when you do, you realize it's for nothing. You can't hit the enemy because hitbox or hit-reg is a failure. This game is probably made for 80-year-old people that cannot reach the speed of new games.

    The whole madness around PUBG is well-deserved. This is the best possible praise for this great battle-royale-genre shooter. What a pity there are so many bugs, mad vehicle physics and occasional cheaters, but it bothers you only for a while. When you frantically get into the hectic, slightly frightening struggle for life and death you’ll forget anything else.

    PUBG’s version 1.0 not only brings a new map, but primarily introduces numerous crucial gameplay improvements to a game which was already hard to resist. [02/2018, p.28]
