PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

PUBG is so good. It looks bad on a normal PlayStation 4 and playing with a controller is not the best way to enjoy PUBG, but a year later this is still a very strong game.

PUBG arrives of PlayStation 4 with the best console version avaliable, but the same control issues.

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.

The game that started it all is now on PS4 with a very solid version that allows us to enjoy its excellent gameplay. It could be a little bit more polished on the graphical side, but overall works very well.

The game offers a great experience with an intense concept. The input mapping is hard to handle at first but offers, with a controller, everything you can do with keyboard and mouse. Sadly, the game suffers from technical issues, especially clipping and framerate capping.

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.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a game many consider as the catalyst for skyrocketing battle royale from a fun mod to a full on genre. They've had a slow start to catch up to rivals but after spending significant time with the PS4 release, they're on the right track.

Despite some technical issues, PUBG is still one of the best battle royale games out there. This console version is not as polished as the PC original, and controls need some "training", but is is fun and delivers some epic moments.

It may be late and it may not be the best looking game of the year, but PUGB is still an enjoyable battle royale, that enriches the PS4 catalogue.

While PUBG is struggling against the recent competition of Fortnite and Black Ops 4’s Blackout, it still offers up a different challenge on a huge map that relies more on simple gameplay mechanics than gimmicks (no one needs to dance that much). While the latter Battle Royale games are certainly more improved and up to date when compared to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, PUBG is still a solid Battle Royale experience on the PlayStation 4 with room to grow, especially graphically.

Tense battle for survival that suffers from technical shortcomings compared to the PC version.

If you can overlook the mediocre graphics and unintuitive controls, you'll find PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to be quite the pleasant experience on PS4. Battle Royale at its finest.

Compared to the Xbox One version, however, does not suffer from the same problems that have afflicted the debut on console, in December last year. In this sense, the fan base of the PlayStation players was able to benefit from the expertise and the improvements gained during these months.
