PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Reviews
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.
Despite os some technical issues, PUBG is still one of the best battle royale games out there. Console version is not as polished as the PC original, and controls need some "training", but is is fun and delivers some epic moments.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds isn't a perfect game, but it does battle royale right with a tactical style and few titles provide this addicting of an atmosphere.
PUBG has introduced the Battle Royale mode to revolutionize the world of multiplayer games, but what next?!

The king of battle royale has fallen victim to regicide.
PUBG v1.0 on Xbox One runs smoothly, features three vastly different maps, and includes a ton of weapons, gear, and items to use in the deadliest online game. Its unique brand of tense, realistic shooting mixed with slow-paced tactical combat manages to stay fresh and exciting even after hundreds of matches. It makes coming back for another attempt at a "chicken dinner" victory hard to resist.
Despite its innumerable technical problems and its complex control, PUBG on Xbox One continues to provide the same unpredictable PC experience, now also with all the available content.

PUBG 1.0 might have been released a bit too early and this choice hasn't paid off when it comes to optimization. Anyway, for what matters content, this release has a more mature structure that the developers will now be able to enrich from time to time thanks to the events and the live component.

While PUBG's Xbox version is still a far cry from perfection, it's a competent port that encapsulates the same Battle Royale experience BlueHole has been providing on PC for a while. Despite the console version still not being quite up to the standard that I'd hope for at the 1.0 update, the experience carries over well and the game is certainly playable if you aren't picky about its performance. If the standard of the PC version of the game is anything to go by, let's just say that the Xbox port could be a hell of a lot worse.
PUBG is admittedly a game that's poorly designed in many ways and sometimes even non-functional. It's also admittedly one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had in my entire life.
We gave this version a delay of six months for patches, but even now PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for Xbox One is a terrible and broken game. If you want to try PUBG, play it on PC.

While it's nice to see Battle Royale games on mobile, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds doesn't translate well to a mobile experience due to its poor touch controls and lack of optimization.
The enormity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' success will have surprised even its developers. This is a shooter that didn't invent the Battle Royale genre in gaming, but which certainly perfected it to the point that it found a massive, massive audience. With more than 30 million copies sold, PUBG is a bona fide phenomenon with an influence that will be felt in the industry for years to come.
PUBG on Xbox is a shambles, but I utterly adore it. It's strategic, messy, strange, and hilarious. Consider this a hearty recommendation delivered with several huge caveats.
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.
A revelatory combination of the online PvP survival and competitive shooter genres, well deserving of being labelled as a phenomenon. As an added bonus, you don't have to be pro gamer to enjoy some level of success online.
PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS tells us that the Battle Royale genre has finally matured. Its addicting and rewarding gameplay has attracted a huge audience and despite its minor issues, it's a worthy addition to your gaming library.

PUBG takes the tradition of big-map survival games like DayZ and compresses it into digestible, 3-to-30-minute sprints that are reliably scary and low-key.
As a multiplayer game, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is pure and also one of the best choices for those who are fond of multiplayer games. If you want to adventure with your friends, this game can create great moments and new experiences for you. Play PUBG, yet don’t expect a phenomenon!
