PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Reviews
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.
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.
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.
In the same way that Counter-Strike‘s early days led to it dominating the competitive scene and Minecraft‘s years of beta access led to it becoming a game that defined a generation, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds isn't necessarily the first “battle royale” game out there, but it is the one that's leading the charge on making players fight to survive, and it's thrilling in every way.
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.

PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS, the game that popularized the Battle Royale genre, has finally arrived on PlayStation 4. It's definitely fun, but the technical issues hamper the experience a bit. If you don't mind those, you won't be disappointed.

PUBG is one of the best multiplayer experiences of the generation, and as technically flawed as this Xbox One version currently is that fact still shines through.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is an absolute blast to play and has a broad appeal that few other games can match. As long as you temper your expectations (and make sure you have a decent PC), then this is one of the top games of 2017 to check out.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on the PlayStation 4 is a port of a bad version of a great concept.
A fun game without new ideas.

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 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.
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.

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.
With the technical errors in the game and utilizing PS4 Power, players expects this experience is very bad and not playable but it is quite the opposite and it is as enjoyable as it was on PC and mobile phones, and still the screen that shows you when you win the best and most fun, it is worth to invest your time in learning and learning its secrets

Overall, PUBG is a fun battle royale that uses tension and planning to its advantage. This can often lead to long stretches of monotony, which will make even the most patient man squirm, but it feels worth it when you finally get towards the end of a round.
In a time where Battle Royale is all the craze, raking in all that money and not bothering to try to keep up with your competition seems like a stupid idea. Considering PUBG creators sued Epic Games over Fortnite over plagiarism, it becomes pretty apparent that the suit wasn’t over losing money, but out of spite that someone else was making a better version of your game.
You just might have to have an abnormally high tolerance for bugs to fully enjoy it.
