    Solid is the word I would use to describe H1Z1: Battle Royale on PlayStation 4. It’s not the prettiest of games or the most clever, but it does what it does really well and it is a great alternative for those who find all the tree chopping and base building in Fortnite very tiresome. H1Z1 is off to a great start on PlayStation 4.

    It's not particularly meaty yet and it needs a fair bit of work done on its visual side, but H1Z1 Battle Royale is a fine alternative to Fortnite for PS4 players. The redesign of the game for consoles has gone pretty well, and there's more joy and cohesion in squad games compared to its PS4 competition. At the grand old price of free, it deserves a chance if you're seeking something a little more grounded for your Battle Royale buck.

    H1Z1 gameplay fit perfectly between Player Unknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite with some new mechanics for this console version that makes the game faster to play. It's not a revolution for the genre but a solid game that provides lot of fun for everyone.

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 »
