   Great start for an open beta! Really easy to be critical of the game but when people slate it for being not complete given its in beta thenGreat start for an open beta! Really easy to be critical of the game but when people slate it for being not complete given its in beta then that is a bit ridiculous.
   
   The gameplay is great. The look and feel is post apocolyptic which is what they are going for and generally there are very few bugs for a beta. Its great to play a battle royale game on PS4 without being blinded by childish cartoon characters and having to build tree houses to win. As for the critics who claim "its nothing on PubG", really.... because the original H1Z1 king of the hill was created by the PubG creator. They are essentially the same game.
   
   Great start.… Expand

   What I like:
   -fast paced
   -cars drive well -yes, there is fall damage -aiming down sights -interesting emotes -kneel/prone option -gunsWhat I like:
   -fast paced
   -cars drive well
   -yes, there is fall damage
   -aiming down sights
   -interesting emotes
   -kneel/prone option
   -guns / shooting distance seem fairly accurate for the most part
   -looks as good as PC version
   -simplified inventory
   -don't have to build anything!
   -not many latency issues so far
   
   What I don't like:
   -the drop into the map (let us at least choose a quadrant)
   -While i like the simplified inventory, switching weapons in the middle of a gunfight is horrific, -switching weapons in general is horrific
   -car damage physics on your own and opponents cars is laughably bad.
   -still a big fan of attaching my own stuff to guns, that is not an option here
   -as far as i can tell, car on car damage is not present so its too easy for people to hide behind their own car
   -shotguns still have too much range
   -no duos yet??
   -some game changing bugs/glitches, which I am sure will be fixed over time
   -it is free, so there are gonna be cheaters---
   
   Overall, I really do enjoy this game...it's sort of a PUBG Lite...much easier controls. I purchased the pre-order bundle and I will continue to support these devs. This imo is a pretty underrated game.… Expand

   First off, the game's map is very, very ugly to look at, and I am someone who doesn't think that graphics is everything, but I don't think a PS4 game should look like an Late PS2 - Early PS3 title.
   Another thing that needs to be put in consideration when reviewing games is gameplay, and there are 3 main things that make up the core of H1Z1.
   1) Weapons (Guns and grenades primarily)
   2) Vehicles
   3) The Gas
   The gas is fine, it functions like it should do and it doesn't bug out or anything like that as far as I've noticed except. The only complaint I have of the gas/zone system will be addressed later.
   The Vehicles are clunky but function okay. They certainly aren't the worse vehicles in games, and if I had to pick between using the shopping carts in Fortnite (which is a game i very much enjoy and I believe is a much better game btw) or the police cars or jeeps in H1Z1, i'd have to pick the Police cars or Jeeps.
   The main issue in gameplay is the guns. Oh my god I hate these guns. They are incredibly clunky and not at all fun to use. They all feel very generic and unoriginal. They are a chore to use in matches and people will often run instead of fight because they don't want to get into gun fights.
   Another issue is something that the game advertises itself with and I disagree with. The first line on the PS4 store page for the game is "H1Z1: Battle Royale is a pure, fast-paced battle royale shooter re-imagined and built for console". While a majority of that statement is true, I cannot disagree more with the fact that it says "fast-paced". This game is anything but fast-paced. The issue is that it drops you off in a random, player-less area with basic loot and, if you're lucky, a crappy buggie that flips over every 5 seconds. It's super slow-paced, and you can go through early and mid-game without even hearing a gunshot. It's super dull.
   While you can go through early to mid game without any action, you are sure to find some in the late game, which is 20> players still alive. So is this any better, well yes, until you get to the later zones. These zones are often just overlapping a small part of a random forest, which the only cover is trees. And this is not good as you cannot make your own cover and destroy cover, so you are pinned down for 5 minutes, often for it to end with someone getting shot in the back with a shotgun, which isn't satisfying for both the winner and the loser, and the latter will get most likely angry at the shoddy gameplay and it doesn't encourage the player to load into another game.
   The servers aren't that great, but most main titles servers are often crappy. I'd even argue that H1Z1 servers are better than the likes of Fortnite.
   Overall, this game is not enjoyable. The guns are clunky and unoriginal. The game looks like an Late PS2/ Early PS3 title and the game, although advertised to be a fast paced experience, is quite the contrary. The Zone is okay except for really late game (around 5 people left) and vehicles (except for buggies) are fine, but these aren't enough to paper over the cracks. If you want to get into a free to play experience and you are considering H1Z1 over the massively popular and addicting game Fortnite because it is more realistic, don't. Fortnite is a fun game, which has it's issues, sure. But the game is fun and addictive.… Expand

The textures look like sh*t. The driving is super buggy. There is not a lot of customization nor weapon variety. It's simply a cash grab capitalizing in the Battle Royale popularity that doesn't really do anything new or interesting.
   
   It can be fun with a couple of friends but still super frustrating due to terrible execution and bugs.… Expand
