Mar 1, 2018the market is over saturated with mediocre multiplayer games, like this one, and this is going to be the end of the industry. mark my words....
-
Jan 16, 2018I didn't understood the hype but I gave it a try anyway. Played it for a while and couldn't warp my head around it. It gets boring really fast and you just doing the same thing over and over again. There's no variety of things to do. It just feels like a mode, not a full game.

Jan 22, 2018this game had a shot at greatness 20 million hope for the best. chinese hackers, armys of no recoil bots. and the dev playing the race card for region lock.
play anything else -
Apr 8, 20181 - Manage the hackers or BLOCK CHINA REGION!
2 - STOP putting more and more useless crap in the game, and making new (bad) maps before you fix IMPORTANT stuff!
3- PLEASE! -

Dec 11, 2020The idea is good, but the implementation is very poor. You play as if against bots, a lot of bugs, in short the game is not worth the money.

Nov 19, 2021The 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

May 31, 2022Неинтересная онлайн игра с графикой 2006 года, ее бы потянул первый Xbox
Почему вокруг этого убожества такой мегахайп? -
Dec 21, 2017Overrated and over-hyped thrash. Cancer of gaming industry and gaming subculture. This game doesn't deserve it's accidental success.
-
Dec 23, 2017General Idea of this game is extremely fresh and great. This will be a new Genre of Games, but PUBG will not be on the forfront of this Genre. The developers cant handle this game.
1.0 Release and still a lot of Bugs, Crashes and Server Problems.
EU Servers even went out for 6 hours, its a mess. -
Dec 30, 2017Most bugged and unfinished game i have ever played. the netcode is so bad, the gameplay is terrible too. it is more a walking simulator than anthing else. and this game is so much overhyped by paid streamers to promote this very poor made game.

Dec 22, 2017This 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 **** -
Dec 20, 2017This game mechanic belongs better to 2001. than 2017. It's silly how much people play this game. This industry is in big trouble when games like that are most popular ones!
-
Dec 31, 2017Game is ruined by Chinese cheat creators collaborating with the developers to avoid cheat detection for a share in profits. 95% of games are filled with Chinese hackers no matter what server you play on.

Jan 3, 2018on paper this game is good... the reality is if you want to die from an heart attack because you were looting a building and opened a bathroom door to then find a guy camping in the bath and shotgun you and scare the **** out of you then this is the game for you and also walking simulator 2017
-
Jul 4, 2018A literal pile of sh*t. Do not recommend. A shame to the gaming industry that just wants to milk the money out of you. The devs don't give a sh*t about the community. Really hope this game dies soon.
-
Dec 22, 2017¿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.
-
Dec 22, 2017This is simply overhyped peace of ugly textures and buggy code that can't be called GAME.

Apr 14, 2018Most overrated game of history.
Bugghy as hell, super poorly optimized and that game is most about luck (~80%) then skill.
Idiocrazy is the only logical reason I find for its gigantic success. -
May 3, 2018No playable at this momment. WTF? Dudes with milions of dollars doesn't know how to optimize the game?

Dec 23, 2017This game attracts the same people that play Call of Duty so see PUBG as an Island that keeps those players out of our good games and keeps them out of our vision. I'm grateful for that. As for the game; the score should tell you everything you need to know; it's a giant pile of crap making horrible Western devs rich.
-
Dec 20, 2017Well, the game concept is interesting and fresh. Optimization is poor and terrible! Developers are greedy and tricky. Hype is monstrous. I think this game deserves 6-6.5 in it's current state. But I want to balance pre-payed "official" reviews with zero and to slow down a hype-train. Maybe Ill change my mind later if the game become better optimized and polished.

Dec 20, 2017Problème de latence, crash, popping, framerate au fraise.
Le jeu en lui même est bien, mais malheureusement la version Xbox One est vraiment à la ramasse.
C'est vraiment une hone de sortir un jeu en cet état. -
Dec 22, 2017Poor 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.
-
May 16, 2018Say NO to any Chinese products, games...
Nature of Chinese games is really bad. Most PUBG's players came from China. Global people don't like this game. -

Nov 2, 2018Bluenole is the worst developer in the world. It is a pity that Brendan entrusted the development to them.
-
Feb 1, 2018Just like Fortnite, the gameplay is very repetitive. I always feel like I;m playing the same thing over and over again. At least Fortnite is free, this was 30 bucks down the drain.
-
Sep 20, 2020I can't even be bothered to write anymore than this for this garbage.
Everyone that plays and enjoys this game is an Idiot. -
Apr 27, 2018Sorry, but the gunplay is bad, the graphics is a joke and there is absolutely no reason or mativation to Play this Thing.
It looks like a game from 15 years ago, and while I am not fixated on graphics, this is just too terrible to be played in 2018.
And the gunplay is very wobbly and outdated. -
Aug 16, 2020Ugh another multiplayer only game with no story mode to show for it..........don't care

Sep 25, 2018Basically a worse version of Fortnite, there's no reason you buy it to be sincerely honest.
It has everything you hate about Fortnite (Including the fanbase) and more. If you buy it, you are a pigeon. -
Dec 24, 2017Boring game. This game has nothing to do after death, it easily get bored. This genre will not last long.
-
Dec 30, 2017This terrible trash Day-Z-wanna-be game is toxic to the game community and should be banned.
-
Dec 20, 2017Devs cashed in before the word could get out...This game is trash do not waste your money on it. Supposedly out of early access yet still full of lag, desync, glitches, bugs, and oh man do they have a ton of cheaters, but don't worry they don't acknowledge the cheaters so they don't have to fix it. Hasn't made much progress from the Arma mod days if you take away the slight graphics upgrade.
-
Dec 21, 2017Awfully broken game. Don't trust the critics. Game critics obviously have a sponsorship with them. They are too scared to say anything real. Don't buy this piece of **** game.
-
Dec 22, 2017Unplayable **** Afte release 1.0 all game in desync & lags. What developers do it new UI. Great job.
-
Dec 22, 2017Don't trust any of the "critics", They all were very high when they wrote their reviews
-
Dec 22, 2017Critics 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...
-
Dec 24, 2017Fraudulent sale as is. Still poor optimization, laggy servers running on pentium 4, people forced to play poorly performed desert map 9/10 times, crashes, unable to get to lobby, rubber-banding, fps drops. It's still early alpha 0.1 version. Don't waste your time and money.
-
Dec 23, 2017Every game i lag like crazy. It stops for a minute and I crash. 0 point playing.
-
Dec 23, 2017This 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. -
Dec 31, 2017Lag, crash, no optimization, netcode like a sh*t. Does not deserve such hype.
-
Jan 4, 2018Not worth buying. Had a huge budget and their published a game which is bugged and has bad server. The game also has a lot of frame crashes.
-
Feb 23, 2018как можно расхваливать игру в которой столько читаков?
-
Jan 6, 2018Used to be very fun and exciting. 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. The worst part is the cheating and hacking. There is so much of it that the game is no longer fun. Avoid this game. Will be uninstalling.

Jan 23, 2018Waste 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.
Great idea worked out completely below average. Even an indy developer would be ashamed of such a poorly developed product. -
Feb 5, 2018Why does Metacritic hide the real comments by people who actually play the game?
When you click Games>PC you only see what the critics say. You have to hunt down the truth on this website.
$$$$$$$$$$$ -
Jan 31, 2018Developers cashed out and are no where to be seen.. are you guys even working on the game anymore ? do not waste your money on it, they say out of early access ?? yet still full of lag, glitches and bugs.. makes for some funny YouTube videos but impossible to play - congrats .. cant wait for the next update that gets us.. absolutely no where.

Aug 12, 2018Terrible game that's fundamentally flawed. Only popular due to intentionally addictive gameplay loop and lots of press/streamer coverage 'hype train'.
-
Sep 9, 2018This game is one of the best FPS games. Its mobile version was launched just few days ago. There are some issues regarding hackers and cheaters in the game which needs to be resolved. Otherwise, the game is quite impressive.

Too many hackers and Bluehole never ban them.

Apr 24, 2018The 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.
