    Addictive and accessible, PUBG is a great game for PS4.

    PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds manages to differentiate itself from its battle royale progeny with its more tactical spin on the formula, even with its obvious lack of presentational prowess. While its grounded approach can be brutal at first, if you take the time to immerse yourself in its stress inducing battles, you’ll find yourself involved in epic engagements that will have you sharing your successes – and failures – with anyone willing to listen. It may not be the king anymore, but PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds still more than deserves a place at the top table.

    In the face of quicker, louder rivals, PUBG offers a slow and meditative experience. It’s not, I would imagine, unlike sitting in a deer blind waiting for an unlucky whitetail to pass below. While PUBG’s technical issues are ever-present, they rarely spoil this core experience. This is a buggy game, but they aren’t game breaking bugs.

    Though ironically beaten to the punch by the likes of H1Z1 and Call of Duty, and tarnished by a handful of shortcomings, PUBG nonetheless remains a commendably inventive and expansive shooter that deftly embodies the Battle Royale genre.

    There is a whole generation of PS4 owners who are probably way too deep into Fortnite, with that game being their first exposure to the genre. While I wouldn’t count myself amongst them, I cannot imagine that any of those people would choose this $30 experience, with little promise to grow and improve, over triple-A titles that have since leapfrogged over PUBG.

    A no-thrills PlayStation 4 port that has most of what you’d want from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds but in a much uglier, watered down package.
  7. 50
    At its core, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds relies on the unpredictability of players to help provide the variety, and that is not a bad way to go. Still, I would really like to see the technical issues smoothed out and more variety in the form of maps added to help make PUBG's a better overall experience.

Technical and slow-paced, it takes time to get used to your survival mechanics. But after the first victory you can't stop playing. Technically fulfilled but not the best. Its gameplay is a recycling of several market shooter. What makes the game really special is the feeling of the cat and the mouse in the games which makes it the best Battle royale on the market.

    Played for around a month and it still has me hooked. I play solo, duos and squads and find the game be very enjoyable. I have had no crashesPlayed for around a month and it still has me hooked. I play solo, duos and squads and find the game be very enjoyable. I have had no crashes or problems except once I did fall through the map. But I can forgive that. PUBG in my honest opinion, is the most realistic and enjoyable battle royal out. I tried Blackout on call of duty and did not find it to be anywhere near as enjoyable as this. Expand

    Absolutely trash, 100% will not be your number one played game. Matchmaking is broken, takes about 10 minutes to find a match. Recoil isAbsolutely trash, 100% will not be your number one played game. Matchmaking is broken, takes about 10 minutes to find a match. Recoil is impossible. Controls and their sensitivity is all **** up. They say it’s realistic but the way your character moves is so fake lol. The game is completely broken, the graphics suck, the lag is insane, and most pro and noob players cam/snake and give you no footsteps so you can’t hear them and there’s no way to see them on your map so you literally die to a snake almost every match. In September when I get the new Halo I’m uninstalling this game. Expand

    This game is horrible. Besides the terrible graphics, the game itself is incredibly boring and repetitive.
