    As a CS player I like this as an adrenaline pumped clutch simulator - I've only played solo First Person mode, and really enjoyed the thrill it brings. But: you HAVE to play it as a SURVIVAL game, not a plain shooter, otherwise it will be boring.

Do not jump to the most crowded places all the time, like some of the idiots shouting "Potchinki" at the beginning of the match. If you find a nice industrial hall somewhere, you might get good enough equipment to survive the last battles. Trying out different tactics is fun. Of course not all games are entertaining if a sniper kills you with a silenced headshot from 200 meters, but more than half of games are enjoyable.

    Unlike some of the players claim, it is not infested with cheaters and it is not buggy right now. I play in EU north.

    This game plays like a jagged and buggy mess. It clearly isn't optimized and the progression system is loot box based and absolutely non-existant. I could see some people getting into this due to the innovative and addicting concept of Battle Royale. However, the stiffness and rigid gameplay is a no from me dog.

    Not a bad game by any means, but the loot distribution is horrible and relies on luck when you first start a match. It has clunky controls that you'd see in a game like Arma 2 or DayZ that puts even seasoned gamers like myself through a loop.

    A game that looks nice on the surface until you realise that in at least 50% of games you will just die to some hacker who a. knows where you are b. can hit you with every single bullet and c. has no recoil. The game runs fine and I have no issue with lag at all. It's just worthless because its not at all fair.

    Basically 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.

    I played it a couple of times and I can say that the game is very repetitive and there is not too much interaction with the players if we compare it with other games of the same genre.

    Played the game since the first early access release on Steam - back during that times, me and many others would forget all the flaws the game had, the mediocre looks while also having very bad performance, terrible car physics, terrible buggy parachute, desync and million other small things that one would expect to be fixed in the upcoming months.

    Sadly, 2 years later, the game is still in a terrible state and only thing that really improved at least a little bit is performance. The game is now long past its "1.0" release and still feels like the alpha version i originally bought.
    I feel like the game is not gonna live for much longer as its being overshadowed by better alternatives like Fortnite and soon to be released Call of Duty Black Ops 4.

    This 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.

    I bought this during early access while Pewds was playing. It was fun and challenging while everyone was a newb. Today the group loads take longer to get to 100, you are mixed in with pros (so you die quickly), and it's full of cheaters. In short, not fun anymore.

Now you only face people who spend thousands of hours dedicated to mastering hand-eye coordination and perfecting game play strategies. Normal people don't have time for that. Battle Royale is a great concept, but they fail at controlling the cheaters and balancing skill sets. Expand

    Ugly optimization. There is no way to see the ping to the server on which you are playing. You are thrown into your region, but by feeling, ping 400-500. You shoot close 2 times from the saiga, you see the blood, but the enemy kills you, because he has a better ping. You run into the wall, you run around 2 buildings and you die. the enemy shot at the place where I was 2 seconds ago. IUgly optimization.

    No, this game isn't buggy anymore, but there is some cheating still going on.... go figure... Lots of camping in solo, body armor teir 2 and up doesn't even slow bullet damage at all, There is so much server lag it infuriates me, wished I never purchased the game.

You can't really tell where the foot step sounds are coming from. Can't tell the direction your getting hit from. Time the second wave comes, over half the 100 people are down to 50 or less. Only way to do decently in this game is to play duo's or squads or else you not gonna make it very far. PUBG mobile for phone is the the better version of this game with better support and better servers. If you can stand how the graphics look they have a tencent gaming buddy emulator that lets you play it on pc. Its a lot more fun, You can actually get competitive it. Best thing about the mobile one its free!!!! Expand

    It used to be a good game but not now. It's now full of micro transactions, servers are bad and I myself feel the lack of MMR. Also with 1070, sometimes the frame rate drops to 50. I do not recommend you to buy this game now. Maybe they fix it later.

    During the release of this game was a great hype and everyone played it, but now that hype over - number of players falls and the game dying at a high pace. The main disadvantages of the game are ban trade and "awesome" optimization.

Yani oyunda geliştmek için kesinlikle para harcamanız gerekmiyor. Son gelen Sanhok güncellemesinde bir adet DLC var ve bu DLC'yi alırsanız daha hızlı level atlayabiliyorsunuz fakat bu Level'in de yine oynanışa hiçbir katkısı yok yani sadece kozmetik. Bu konuyu açığa kavuşturduktan sonra oyanışa gelelim. Her silahın kendine özgü tepkileri ve gücü var, arabalar sürerken zaman zaman buglara denk gelsek de sürüş hissiyatı böyle bir oyun için oldukça yeterli, mapler oldukça güzel örneğin son gelen map biraz daha çatışma odaklıyken diğer mapler daha çok taktik ve planlama gerektiriyor. Bu açıdan da 2 tür oyuncuya da hitap ediyor. Son yıllarda çıkmış en iyi oyunlardan bir tanesi olduğunu düşünüyorum. Oyunu ön yargılarınızı bir tarafa bırakıp tarafsız olarak oynarsanız gerçekten iyi bir oyun olduğunu göreceksiniz. Expand

    Immersive, intense, action packed and gives you a sense of hope that this will be something great

    Woods update behind Mansion location on Erangel was awesome! Sanok is beautiful and fast paced! Miramar is a nice change of scenery.

    Guns 'look' genuine!

    ANTI-CHEAT seems to be working great!

    --------------------------------

    CONS:
    Ruggered, rough, frustrating, unoptimized that feeling of hope slowly diminishing after major and annoyingly obvious issues are still present each week. Another sad case of devs seem more concerned about quick $ than creating a true masterpeice that would naturally generate $$$ for along time. Get your A into G bluehole.

    Should not of left BETA. The PRE-CHRISTMAS cash grab for xbox was unsavoury, distasteful and disgusting!

    Not a whole lot of uniqueness around the map seemingly most of it is copy & paste especially Erangel so much unused and repetative buildings/spaces/environments.

    Not alot of arsenal/attachment options/diversity for wepons and especially armor.

    SKINS: Utilizes a gambling type system that feeds on losers, incredibly inappreciable chance of getting the unique skins while shoving colossal amounts of the same s**t into your inventory.

    --------------------

    HOPES:

    Would L0VE a HARDCORE FP mode, No UI, no player kill confirm/count/killfeed, increased bullet damage, stamina and magazine management.

    Pretty please make VSS spawn with either a PSO-1 scope (sniping) or a OKP-7 (CQB combat)

    Hopes night matches will not be broken. Attachable flashlights/laser designator to guns? Night vision in crates? (night vision goggles give off a green glow faintly seen by other players paying attention so they wouldnt be OP)

    Hopes campaign/story and zombie modes being refreshing and different.

    --------------------

    Game is definitely worth buying almost endless fun/frustration.

    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.
