    Everyone is hacking / cheating to ruin the experience for everyone else and the majority of them don't get banned. If all the cheaters were banned, half the playerbase would be banned. You can just do a quick google search and bam, tons of premium hacks available that you can buy, that don't run on your computer, the makers say, run a VPN and connect to our server, you'll never be banned.Everyone is hacking / cheating to ruin the experience for everyone else and the majority of them don't get banned.

I believe them, and I'm disappointed in the incompetence of the game's anti-cheat. Every single match ends with, someone knowing exactly where I'm going to be and lining up a head-shot minutes in advance, because they see every player position on the damn map with their hack. This is the single worst thing I've ever bought in my life. Expand

    Как и любую другую он-лайн игру, портят читеры. Здесь они полным ходом набирают обороты. Игра хорошая, графика, все мне нравится. Только анти чит работает отвратительно! Уже в наглую на ютуб видео с читами выкладывают.

    Hi! Everyone, this is Owen. Today, I am going to make a review of the new game – the Mobile PUBG. The PC PUBG is one of most the popular computer games in the world so Tencent made a mobile one for us so that we can play the game more easily.

    Hi! Everyone, this is Owen. Today, I am going to make a review of the new game – the Mobile PUBG. The PC PUBG is one of most the popular computer games in the world so Tencent made a mobile one for us so that we can play the game more easily.
    Let’s start! First I am going to enter it. I can choose my game character’s gender and appearance. It is just like the PC one. After choosing that, I finally begin our game. In the waiting hall, I can choose 1-player, 2-players or 4-players mode. Let’s try the 1-player mode and see how the game works!
    It’s very quick to enter the map! That’s not laggy at all! The game offers different graphics and although I am using the highest graphics, the game is still running smooth. Alright, I am going to jump. I would like to land at school! I am sure there will be a lot of people so I could check whether the control is good. Let me pick up a SCAR. Oops, I was shot! Somebody behind me must have found me. I turn around and find him. “Bambam”, I killed him! The control is fine because the sensitivity is great. The game’s sound system is also awesome! It feels like I am in the battle, the sound of footsteps, bullets, and cars all make the game more exciting and real. I got 23rd out of 100 in the end. I think Mobile PUBG is really an interesting game and I’d like to play it in my free time!

    Sehr kompetetiv, jedoch von Bugs übersäht und in den teilweise riesigen Patches werden Sachen eingeführt die niemand braucht. Die Grafik ist toll sowie auch der generelle Druck der auf einem Spieler lastet da man nie weiß ob man sicher ist.

    This game has way too much lag and server issues. It is updated often but I can't get past the fact that it's only popular because a bunch of streamers caught on to it. It's more of a fad game that will fade away and not be remembered. I ended up refunding this game after a few hours of playing.

    Alright, so I've bought this game for 18$ (regional prices and all that), and by selling every lootcrate i get for three months, i got the whole price for the game back on my steam account. So I guess it is fun enough to keep me grinding for ingame coins to get lootcrates, and sometimes you die because of lag.

    Boring and pointless glorified CoD or CS:GO.

    PUBG is not bad as first person shooter, however the only incentives to play it are to get a chicken dinner and unlock loot boxes that give lame clothing.

I personally always found it quite boring to watch and hopefully so will the rest of the gaming community.

    it's plagued with cheaters and bugs, it's poorly optimised and running on awful servers. And on top of all that, you spend more time looking for vehicles and chasing the play area boundary than actually fighting other players. I understand the need for the shrinking play area, but it's poorly executed and results in players dying just because they can't find a vehicle. Meanwhile the players lucky enough to be in the play area to start with can camp and pick off weakened players as they desperately try to stay in the game.

    The concept is great.
    The atmosphere is amazing.
    The gun play is good enough.
    The bugs are rampant.
    There are hackers.
    The server tick rate is abysmal.
    Players get an advantage by playing on the lowest settings, no grass to hide in...

    In the end i still enjoyed myself, but if you're like me, pick this up on sale and only if you have friends to play with.

    Waste of time and money. Non stop lagging servers and it's full of cheating people taking advantage of third party software like zero recoil macros.

First, lets look at the developer: A social justice warrior snowflake that cries about being bullied and then blames users as being racist because they inquire about region locks to keep out the Chinese hackers (which the game is infested with). So, you have that sort of brow-beating lecturing crap from the headshed right off the bat. Performance wise, you have a tic-rate of no more than 17 causing horrendous server performance because, guess what, they developed it on the Unreal 4 engine with too large of a player base for it to handle. That being said, Fortnite runs the same engine and same player numbers and is at least able to run a stable 18 tic rate. When I said 17, I meant you'll basically cross that threshold, re-cross it, and then cross it again in what will amount to a graph looking like the skyline of the Himalayan mountain range. Instability. But oh man, you finally got that one game that runs alright, and things are finally looking up! Oh but the loot crate hoarder from Asia with a 400ms ping speedhacks up to you, kills you with a recoil hack, and then speeds away with your loot. Even when your buddies shoot at him to avenge your death, the client-side only hit detection gives him the advantage with a high-ping and they can't hit him either. "Git good bro" is the SJW's recommendation. You report SpeedyHackerino to the SJW, and your report is looked at 5 months later, as you notice the email is finally sent to you notifying you of such. A 3 day ban is awarded, and SpeedyBingBing is back at it. Hardware bans are racist says the SJW as he laughs while shopping for a new **** on Amazon with your money, soon after coming over here to MetaCritic to pay for that artificial reviewer score of 85.
    I'll give this game one point for concept. I'll give it another for potential, and even another for the small glimpses of actual fun that can occur when you're not being plagued with server performance issues, hackers/cheaters, or hearing the developer run his mouth about how your opinions are morally wrong in between forging one-eyed purple headed warriors with his chocolate starfish.

    The idea of the game is good, there's definitetly playability and fun things about the game. However, this game was RELEASED as a paid game to the public in a very ALPHA state.

    The shooting mechanics are broken and if you're coming from ANY real shooter you'll be frustrated that bullet registering is non existent. The net code is very bad, and you'll frequently die from lagging thru the terrain or unable to pick up anything from the ground. You'll warp and rubber band around.

    If you do manage to survive, odds are you'll be killed by someone with a string of random numbers for a name that aimed at you across 10km and instant headshotted you. They don't do anything to prevent hackers like any real competitive game.

    Overall, its fun at first, but then you'll grow to quickly resent the game when you spend 15 minutes just picking up items just to die and do it again because of game engine problems.

    What's worse is that the developers have made it clear they arent focused on fixing any issues. They will not introduce region locking and the North American server is just all Chinese players which completely defeats the purpose of having a team game (can't communicate with any players). Also, lag favors the person lagging since hit registration etc is client side, so the same overseas people intentionally choosing a bad server for them will kill you before you can even see them on your screen. Besides this, the developers have already been forcing paid loot boxes down our throats before fixing ANY issues.

    Don't waste your money on this game, support developers who actually work for a living.

Possibly because this game was made by modders instead of some body like EA or Nintendo. although i dont think EA would want to make another game, because there **** and only want money. Like any other game with a multiplayer experience, you can legit see your friends get **** by strangers on the internet. Either it being them getting **** over by people with max luck in fallout 4 because they found the best gun in the game, or them tea bagging there dead corpse. I dont see why they think they can sue anyone who makes a battle royal game. If that was the case then they wouldn't exist either. But hey, at least there not sueing a kid for cheating. Honestly if you like the game and already bought it good for you, if your just looking for a game to play with your friends that's cool, but if your looking for a good game then i think you should go some where else Expand

    From when I first started playing, the game has improved. It's getting a lot of flack for performance issues, but those are not as bad as they used to be. Rubber banding rarely happens, lag isn't noticeable if you have a halfway decent PC, and overall the game's controls seem to have been smoothed out. Regardless of all this, the game just is not fun.

    The map is huge and most of my games end within the first few minutes or I spend 20 minutes running not being able to find anyone, being picked off by someone who had their eye on me. There is so much downtime if you "play the game safe" that it makes me wonder why I'm playing. I realize the appeal for some, and in theory, the game is a great idea that is just poorly executed.

    If you have friends, you might have more fun than someone who plays alone. I was able to play with a couple of friends over the holidays and I actually enjoyed myself. Games either turn from hilarious clown fiestas or intense 4v4s. Playing with friends is the only reason why I'm giving this game a 4 which would have otherwise been lower.

    The graphics are another issue, which at first I thought was an indie game being developed by a few designers, but for this review, I checked my facts and it is actually being developed by a team of 70 people at this point. While the graphics are not terrible, but being that it is not 2018, the graphics fall far from the expectation tree. While other players don't blend into the environments like in the Call of Duty franchise, they certainly don't pop out and are easy to see. Some could argue this is done intentionally, but the map is already too large and I do not think it adds much of any strategy to the game.

    Overall I regret buying this game. I bought into the hype and this time it did not pay off. I'm shocked to see critiques raving about this game and while reading their reviews, I think to myself did I even play the same game? Like most games, your taste will weigh heavily on a million different things. I prefer Fortnite, it's free and the map is way smaller, giving you more action and a bigger scene of urgency.

    If I were to make any recommendations to improve the game itself, they would be to make a smaller map, change character models to pop out even just a little bit and reward different kinds of play styles (Though I'm not sure how you'd achieve this last one.) Maybe try and improve the graphics while we're at it (At least they're working on this one!)

    -Brendan Greene only cares about money and will not implement a server region lock between Asia and the North American/ European servers because its 'Xenophobic to do so".
    -Brendan Green also defends Chinese cheaters becasue it's "More acceptable to cheat in China".

    All in all, PUBG is a fun game to play. It could do without the hackers, Chinese and weird damage values, but it is definitely worth getting if you have friends to play with. I am giving this game a negative review because of the fact that the developers are slow to fix issues even though they definitely have the funding to fix them. It could also do without an awful lead dev who will call his North American player base Xenophobes and defend cheaters for ridiculous reasons.

    The only way to enjoy this game is with a team of friends in first person. You can play it in a team of randoms, but the average player is 9 years old so I wouldn't recommend it.

You can play it in a team of randoms, but the average player is 9 years old so I wouldn't recommend it. With a team engagements are more tactical and someone from the team will always be able to spot an enemy team, so reflexes, aim and angle of engagement become important. It's also easier to find high power scopes and lvl 3 armor with 4 people looting, which are extremely important to survive, and the best strategy is being very aggressive. That's a good thing.

    Solo, it's a nightmare. Luck plays a bigger part while looting, and camping is the only viable option, due to the absolutely massive advantage of being able to hear anyone that sprints in like a 50 meter radious while being locked in a room 3 buildings away, which is complete nonsense. You just blow up anyone that gets too close, they have no chance, and the same will happen to you once you have to relocate. Every match ends with a faceoff between the people who randomly camped at the place closest to the last circle area and didn't have to relocate too much, where they just run into the last circle area, usually in a field somewhere, and the guy with the biggest scope on his Kar98 wins. It is a complete waste of time.

    So yeah, if you have a team of friends and can coordinate your play times, the game is worth picking up. Between servers lagging, different things breaking on different days due to how the servers are behaving that day, and people crashing randomly, you might eventually get a 20 minute match that is uninterrupted and smooth for everyone. That one match will be fun. In any other case, stay away from the game.

Now the game freezes, lags, rubber-bands and has various other bugs you would expect from a beta version not a game that just rolled out from months of beta testing.

    I just started playing and of course, since everything is still pretty new, it's still FUN!
    No bad lag, no real issues with the game so far for me.

    I do know that eventually that fun will fade in time but the feeling I had playing PUBG so far is something I haven't found for years before!
    The last game that gave me this kind of feeling was Counter-Strike like 15 years ago!

    That feeling of sheer fun, the feeling of playing a game cause I'm having a REAL good time and not just to progress, learn skills, perks, gain more life, better loots etc...
    When a game ends, I'm getting into another, just cause I'm pretty close to unlock that something but beceause I just WANT MORE of it!

    Just like in CS, everyone starts with the same chances of winning, it relies on a couple of very simple facts like timing, reflexes and PUBG even add a little luck in it cause your initial scavengings can pretty much dictate how the game will go.

    That and the fact that the game mechanics allows for different gameplay types!
    I managed to get to the final 4 survivors, having only 1 kill.
    You CAN play camper a bit and no one would whine about it cause after a little while, you will be FORCED to move!

    I see a lot of people complaining about the need of more maps.
    Honestly? The maps are so damn HUGE that it's as if the only two maps in-game are worth 50 COD maps.
    The circle always shrinking to different random places makes the game feel "new" and fights taking places at different places.
    So far I don't feel like it's growing old despite there's only 2 maps.

    The fact that every game is different is a blast to me.
    As I said, I know that "passion" will fade a bit but I think that pretty much like CS, it'll be a game I'll keep installed and come back to every now and then!

    At 30$ you CAN'T go wrong with this as we've all paid full-fledged price for half-assed games before.

    It's fun and refreshing to grab a game where you can actually LEARN to get better instead of just leveling up / Getting drops / Perks to get OP.
    This simple game is about skills and smarts!

    This game is OK. It feels and plays like a beta version. All of the assets appear to be from the unity store. The game is very poorly optimized and needs a decent bit of hardware to run well consistently.

    Much of the game play is avoiding other players which can be fun... if you ever run into any, the maps are WAY too large for how many people are on the map.

    This game still needs work. Why is it at times i can empty a clip into some ones head they turn around and hit me once and kill me. Sometimes its hard to pick up guns and other things i have to keep walking back and forth over them to pick them up. Lot of glitches in scenery and game play. And its not my PC its way more than good enough to play this or any game.

    The concept of the game is fantastic. The reality of the concept is inefficient to say the least. Gameplay is very mundane. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. This is the cycle of PUBG gameplay. The game is highly based on chance or luck when it comes to weapon spawns. Also other players have the upper hand if they are able to get situated a few seconds ahead of someone else.

This is the cycle of PUBG gameplay. The game is highly based on chance or luck when it comes to weapon spawns. Also other players have the upper hand if they are able to get situated a few seconds ahead of someone else. This is a game of chance and quick initiation in the gaming environment. What a horrible mess which lacks any creativity! I had high hopes for the game but ended up being severally disappointed.

    This game is made for those who want to play in an environment with few deciding factors in one's success or failure. Master the few variables that need to be mastered along with a decent amount of luck to start off with and you would do fine. That is if you like that kind of style of gaming. There is no viable reward system, so if you are looking for upgrades through kills or leveling up, you will be disappointed. Gameplay can be very, very slow. It can be filled with running from house to house in search of better gear, driving or running long distances without ever seeing someone until the end when the circle gets smaller.

    Probably one of the worst shooter games I have ever played in my entire life. Lacks creativity, content, proper skillful gameplay. You want to play a game made for stupid people? Buy this. You will lose a few extra hundred thousand brain cells in the process.

This rotten, lag fest is barely functional, despite being in alpha for ages and having incredible amounts of money thrown at it. version 1.0 is somehow less stable than its own test servers were 2 weeks before during alpha, and it was never stable then.It's a shame that such a fun concept landed in the hands of what must be the worst developer team for FPS games of the 21st century.

    If you're lucky enough that the game actually loads (or the menu for that matter), you will spend the first 10 minutes rubber banding around so badly that you might as well be playing on a 56k dial up modem. If you somehow survive to where the 16 tick rate server starts to recover, a hacker will find and kill you instantly, possibly through a wall.

    How is it acceptable that a competitive FPS game has so many bugs, glitches, poor servers and hackers? But the critics say it's wonderful - WTF?

    It's flawed, but it's so exhilirating. With technical improvements and some more refined gunplay, this could be a fantastic game. I have a great PC, so it I rarely have performance issues, but I know that it's poorly optimized. It's mostly the technical that keeps this from being a 9/10.

    This game is VERY hard to give a score to, so as of the 'official release' of PUBG (coming out of early access a.k.a PC version 1.0) this is my review.

    What did they do right?
    In the grand scheme of things, Bluehole did a PHENOMENAL job in marketing by incorporating Twitch (much better than H1Z1) and the viewablity of this game makes this excellent for streamers and therefore free advertising for their game hence why it is the most played game on steam in less than 10 months. The gameplay (when it works) is also VERY nice to play with and losing a game doesn't feel as bad as you can just hop back into a game within a minute and get right back into the action. It is addicting, but they shouldn't excuse of them of...

    What is wrong with the game?
    This should of NEVER left early access at this state, this game is still a unpolished disaster that has a ridiculous amount of bugs and glitches for a out of early access game. Without a doubt they did this so they could fulfill their promise of coming out of early access within the year. The game is littered with cheaters but they have banned many of them so credit where credit is due.

    In conclusion, this game is fun, hell it's addicting as hell BUT lack of paying attention to game breaking bugs and them STILL being there in the 'released' out of early access version is horrid. If they can improve this game by optimizing it as well as paying attention to game breaking bugs, PUBG can go VERY far in terms of popularity within the community.

    This game is a fun concept ruined by amateur and immature creators.

    This most recent update has utterly broken the already tenuous netcode. It's so un-optimised it makes DayZ look polished.

    To top it all off it's just not fun to play. Run around hoping the RNG gives you some good loot and then die 20 mins later to someone you had no chance of spotting then do it all again.

    Do not buy.

    PUBG is a great game with few big cons.
    If you want to play comfortably you need really good computer with good GPU.
    optimization sucks. Seriously even good PC might fall below 60 fps. Also is not much content in game, so if you don't like basic game there is nothing else to do. Another con i see is randomness. It doesn't have to be con for you, but for me its a bit too random,

    Note: I did get this game for free. I got it for free because I took part in the Pre-Alpha that happened (I think) in July of 2016. Getting the game for free doesn’t affect my review at all (it gets nit and gritty towards the end).

    --- For those wondering, why is this so familiar? - Well, because the person behind this game is PLAYERUNKNOWN (as stated in the title of the game).

    ---

    For those wondering, why is this so familiar?

    - Well, because the person behind this game is PLAYERUNKNOWN (as stated in the title of the game). It’s his standalone game. He first started his Battle Royale work in Arma 2/3 as Mods. Than Daybreak licensed Battle Royale gamemode from him and they implemented that his game mode in their game called ‘H1Z1,’ later on they saw the potential of Battle Royale and they split the game into 2 games with one game that only has the Battle Royale game mode called H1Z1.

    What does BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG) feel like?

    - It’s a mixture of Arma 3 and H1Z1, but more or less it feels like Arma (but not clunky) since it’s not arcadey like H1Z1 and it actually takes skill to learn. It’s not just about getting kills. It’s about surviving. If you like tactical’ness, outsmarting your opponent, a non-clucky engine like Arma 3 and just an overall fun time. This is the game for you. In Arma 3, it’s slow pace and walking everywhere, sometimes taking a vehicle. In H1Z1, almost everyone is in a car and if you get near someone they jump out (while the car is going full speed) and they try to shoot you. In this game, it’s medium pace, the vehicles in BATTLEGROUNDS will get you killed if you randomly jump out to kill someone at full or half speed.

    In BATTLEGROUNDS, you have servers where you can go Solo or find a teammate(s) in Duo and SQUAD, just like in H1Z1. Unlike in H1Z1, but like in Arma 3, if you team in Solo servers you will get banned. PLAYERUNKNOWN promised that Mod support would be coming at official release. But, Mod support is nowhere to be found in 1.0. They stated that Mod support to the point where you can create your own Battle Royale game mode (and publish it to the Steam Workshop), host it (maybe rent a server like in the Battlefield series) and have your own community or group of friends play it. Weapon-wise, all these weapons don’t have predicable weapon recoil, they’re all different, as well with the bullet drop/travel. Attachments like forgrips, compensators and more all can decrease the recoil and change the final outcome of the game when it comes down to that 1v1 at the end. You can’t use 3rd person shooting all the time, it’s not accurate as 1st person shooting (like in H1Z1, both 1st and 2nd can be used at medium/long).

    As I mentioned in the beginning, getting the game for free doesn’t affect my review at all. But because this is a review, I have to be unbiased and review all aspects of the game, even the company behind the game. I give the score what I gave it because of one issue. Due to the fact that the Community Manager/Community Team of the game, Sammie and FWG (go on my Twitter for that link/story). They were very disrespectful, closed minded and banned me on many platforms to censor me. I would have given this game a 9/10 if this situation didn’t happen/taken place.

    In the end, I’m glad PU made the Mod in Arma 2/3 and Daybreak licensed the Battle Royale mode from PLAYERUNKNOWN. He got rid of the clucky’ness from Arma and understood all of H1Z1 mistakes, downfalls, lack of communication/game updates and made his own game. And to be honest with you, this game is pretty bada** and worth the buy. I’m glad that I was able to see this game grow when when Pre-Alpha was going on. And let's face it, H1Z1 is still in Early Access just this upcoming January in 2018, it will be 3 years in Early Access... PUBG put H1Z1 in it's coffin.

    It’s one of those games that you will come back and play each day just because how fun it is, H1Z1 (or other BR related titles) can’t do this.

    Poor optimization. Unfinished product, bugs, poor performance with hi end PC, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is a promise of something, but they take money for a promise, not fair. A lot of missing contents for the most disappointing game of the year.

    Critics are fake, i can't believe this game have the same score of the witcher 3. Is plenty of bugs, not optimized and really frustrating. YES OFC this is NOT **** game but the same metascore of Divinity2 or the witcher 3? We are near to ridiculousness. My score is 1 Cause i want to low this critics cheats but the game deserve 5/6...

    Incredibly fun. With 100 people on a large map there can certainly be some jank, but it works well enough to fill many, many hours with great gameplay. The concept is one which naturally causes you to switch between defensive and offensive positions, adding just the right amount of randomness by forcing more skilled players to sometimes be at a disadvantage.

    I like the way that Polygon described the game: "Perfectly Imperfect". PUBG may not be the first Battle Royale style game, and the idea was obviously taken from the film, but it is the game that revolutionized and popularized the genre, much like DOTA and LoL for the MOBA genre.

    The premise is simple enough, and the maps are large enough that even though you're literally doing the same

    The premise is simple enough, and the maps are large enough that even though you're literally doing the same thing every game, there's plenty of variety. I think how much fun you have in this game depends on how you want to play it. Hot jumps can sometimes be fun, but I've enjoyed being tactical and playing the long game, crawling through the grass, trying to be stealthy. There's a lot of different play styles you can use, and you're forced to switch that up depending on where the circle takes you.

    The game has come a long way since it's early access release this past March. But a 1.0 release does not mean it's a completed product, which is why I'm taking off points. There are plenty of bugs, server issues, rubberbanding, etc that will keep this game from getting a perfect score. I hope those will be ironed out over time as we would hope for any game. But, in the mean time, I'm going to keep having a blast playing a game that has vastly improved since its launch.

    Playing with friends whether it's duos or teams adds a whole other layer to the game that has kept me entertained plenty a night. What it comes down to, for me, is if I'm having fun. I was having fun in March. I'm still having fun now.

    Don't trust any of the "critics", They all were very high when they wrote their reviews

    This game is straight up salty garbage.

    People are going nuts over the fact its 'come out of early access' but really it hasn't. It still runs like early access, it still looks like early access and it still crashes like early access.

    Avoid this ****

    This game is amazing, so addicting, you can play with friends, so much fun need more rounds to get good good at it. what makes it even more enjoyably is that you have to get in to it hiding from enemies or fighting them you are in dangers all the time. but don't forget to be the last man stand.

    ¿Esto es un videojuego? Más bien parece una demo técnica de 2006. Aburridísimo y carente de cualquier aspecto positivo imaginable. La mecánica de juego es tediosa. Un desastre sobrevalorado.

    Really complex and addictive, PUBG is going to change the vision of the online for the next months and weeks. The high amount of players is one of the probes.

    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]
