PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Reviews
It is obvious that the 1.0 release does not mean an end to content for the game, as creator Brendan Greene has said in interviews that the plan is to use this patch to build off of in future, potentially bringing modding support as well as fleshing out the custom games feature. One thing is for sure, as we look to the future for this powerhouse of a game, the sky is the limit.
A fun game without new ideas.

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.
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.
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
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. They're bugs that make you laugh at best and curse under your breath and reboot the game at worst. You hope they get better. But, you know that, with each game, at the very least, you are.
Poor performance, controls, and interface design. Oh, and loot boxes.
The wait is over for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) on PS4, but perhaps that wait was too long, as it wasn't totally worth it.
Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds is a superb example of adapting the battle royale gameplay model. This is a true phenomenon and an event of the year but it’s much too soon to call it “game of the year”. PUBG is more of a late early access – tons of things got better over time but that’s only the beginning.

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.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a great primer into the world of Last Man Standing. Those hearing the name “Battle Royale” and expecting a bloodbath of dramatic proportions might want to temper their expectations and try it out first.
Along with the publishing of 1.0 version, we also get a new desert map, a very practical playback function and many other updates. The completion of PUBG is now higher than ever. However, the connection quality is still bad sometime, and the cheaters are still everywhere in this game. PUBG has a long distance to go before it can be praised as perfect.

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.
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.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one of the most compelling video game experiences to come out in years.
PUBG is a fun game for PS4 players looking for a break from Fortnite but they'll have to deal with a lot of technical issues in order to get the most out of it.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds airdrops onto PlayStation 4 as a technically messy port, but its brand of tense and tactical battle royale gameplay remains addictive as ever.
Some technical hiccups aside, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can provide some of the most intense and exciting moments multiplayer gaming has to offer thanks to a clever game mode that supports varied play-styles, and provides a unique self-contained adventure every round.
PlayerUknown's Battleground offers an experience like no other multiplayer shooter. While it may not have fully delivered on its potential, it's certainly getting there.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has a fresh idea, especially among FPS games. in this game we experience the struggle of 100 players for the victory. even though there are some technical problems, but we mustn't forget that PUBG is a cult game and that's why I love it.
