    Being the first battle royale game may have been enough a few years ago, but in the current market where Fortnite is the biggest thing in the world, it takes greater ambition than “ugly but functional” to stand out. The best thing I can say about H1Z1 is that it’s free, but even so, I still can’t recommend it when its biggest competition is also free and offers a far better version of this same premise.

They should have waited until more of the critical bugs were dealt with because there are a ton of game breaking bugs at the moment. Network errors and matchmaking problems when playing with friends all the time. Guns and car hitboxes are all over the place. Player characters and environments unfinished. My friends and I already gave up after 2 days of playing this game. Moving on to better games.… Full Review »

    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.    … Full Review »
