    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.

For now it doesn't have the best optimization, but Bluehole is working hard to make this game better and better (you should also consider that Bluehole it's a pretty small team), and they already did major changes like there are so much less cheaters (actually i never met one, i'm playing in EU), and also they optimized it a a bit, and they are planing doings so again. It's also a complex shooter, because there is a variety of weapons and mods that will be bigger in the future. Also it provides big maps which is a great feature and they are planning on adding a third map in 2018. It's also nice that you can drive a variety of cars that will also get bigger with further updates. It's also great that we can play both Third Person and First Person and we can always change the servers.
    With that being said, i highly encourage you to support PUBG and look into the future plans of this game and give some trust to Bluehole, which is a small team trying to rise with this great game, that is surely intense, realistic and fun!

    Let's see… after reading the negative reviews I think that many people are basing their reviews on the beta version, which is unfair, they were warned that it was a early access game, and still act like little children who yell at their parents when they can’t get a pistachio ice cream at McDonalds.

Anyway, here are my pros and cons:

    -Pros:
    The game itself is really good, the shooting mechanics are quite realistic and the learning curve is quite steep, this usually annoys casual gamers and kiddies (the cancer of the gaming industry if you ask me - just look at BF1), as well it is a game that it’s not all action, there is time when you have to be patient and just wait around, but for me this is great, because it builds up expectation and when there is a fight after the long wait, well it is just great, it reminds me a little bit of poker.

    There is a lot of strategy involved, the game rewards patience and proper aggressiveness, and when playing in duos or squad, good communication and coordinated attacks result in winning firefights, I just love that. If you play rambo, while solo or with friends you are guaranteed to loose.

    When I started playing, with a GTX 1070, I saw FPS at 40-50, now it stands at 100+, there has been improvement, but there is still room for more. The graphics are good, not amazing, but with a map this big, and sometimes firefights of up to 500m, higher textures would need very powerful rigs. And believe me, the gameplay really compensates.

    Lastly, since I began playing (6 months now), by selling all of the loot crates, I have paid for the game price and even made a profit

    -Cons:
    As of now, there are quite a few cheaters, which if not addressed, would bring this game to its knees, but I am confident that they will find a way. With the new implementation of the kill cam, I have seen a reduction of these little coward basterds.

    Optimization has still a long run to go, so if the devs, as we say in Spanish: “no se ponen vergas”, the game could suffer from it, although there have been good improvements.

    It’s not a game for everyone, but I love that the devs took a chance and made something different than the EA crap found on the kiddie gaming market

    Hope it helps! And take my word for it, once you taste that delicious chicken dinner, you will be keep coming back for more!!    … Expand

    Voters here must be trolling or tripping. It might have some bugs, but the gameplay is rather unique. Best shooter out there with great tension build up, not the hasty childish CS go.

    PUBG was the hottest game of 2017 that came out of nowhere and took everyone by surprise. It revolutionized the online shooter genre by its battle royale mechanics and rapidly claimed the crown of most popular video game which it holds to this date.

It revolutionized the online shooter genre by its battle royale mechanics and rapidly claimed the crown of most popular video game which it holds to this date.

    In PUBG, you and 98 other players jump to any desired spot in a massive map (as solo or a team of up to 4) and fight your way to become the last person standing. You need to find good gear to increase your chances of survival, but at the same time stay within a circle which continually gets smaller towards a random spot on the map, whether it is open terrain or a building. These unpredictable variables make your every action significant and creates an infinite number of possibilities every time you play the game. In PUBG, each game is unique.

    I can consider myself a video game veteran and have been playing shooters since the genre was invented. In no other game, I felt the same sense of excitement and achievement when I kill a player. The main reason for this is knowing the effort your opponent has wasted until the time of confrontation and the pleasure of sending that player back to menu screen after making the kill, plus getting all the loot. The weapons feel great and the game, despite a common false opinion that PUBG depends on luck, rewards skilled players who know how to use their weapons, observe their surroundings and pay attention to every sound. You are always on your toes while playing PUBG (to the extent that many players who play before going to bed are having PUBG dreams at night), which results in a very tense but satisfying game.

    Contrary to the experience many reviewers have, I haven’t come across many cheaters and in my opinion, PUBG has a much smaller problem of cheaters than CS: GO. On the other hand, it should be noted that I play on the North American servers most of the time, so other servers may indeed be different.

    PUBG is a milestone for first person shooter genre and while it is not very casual friendly, it definitely is a game everyone should check out.    … Expand

    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.
