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.

App Trigger
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is the most immersive, intense, adrenaline-pumping, winner-take-all shooter of its time. Ushering forth a new era of Battle Royale gameplay, its technical qualms are the only thing standing in the way of the path to near perfection in its gunplay and survival-first gameplay.

PUBG lives up to its monstrously large reputation. [Issue#197, p.74]
PUBG has managed to create experiences you can't find anywhere else (or at least, you couldn't). It needs to improve some aspects and polish some things to become a legend, but the foundations are already very, very good.
The Games Machine
For the time being, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds won - pun intended - the battle royale of battle royales. This new "gold rush" spawned a good number of decent titles, but the one created by Brendan Greene if by far the best and funniest to play (even if there's still room for improvement).
Whether you play solo or in a group, successfully executing adaptive tactics to win intense, high-stakes firefights makes for an incredibly rewarding experience. Every player has unique stories of their most memorable matches, and even after hundreds of hours, PUBG continues to inspire rousing tales of victory and defeat.
I have faith that with such a large following (and cash flow) the PUBG team will eventually get things squared away, but for now, this game still feels like it's in early access. However, 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.

Although this game still have bad optimization and server lag issues, It's getting better at every patch and even some bugs make my gameplay experience so fun.
New desert map with parkour system on the test server is also amazing. Fancy graphic, better optimization, better game design.
This game was great example of early access. And from today, this game is great example of new age multiplay shooting game.… Expand

It's especially funPUBG has become a huge hit and has topped the charts of the most played game. The game itself is thrilling and exciting. It's especially fun when playing with friends in a party. In spite of this, the game needs many improvements. There are just too many game breaking bugs. Some mechanics need to be fixed to make the gaming experience better. Despite the mediocre graphics quality, it can have annoying lag spikes even on high end PCs. You will also experience the occasional team-killers and hackers.
PUBG is still at its early stage. With some improvements, the game will undoubtedly be the top of its class. For now, I'm just eager to see what it has in store for us!… Expand

It is updated often but I can't get past the fact that it's only popular because a bunch of streamers caught on to it. It's more of a fad game that will fade away and not be remembered. I ended up refunding this game after a few hours of playing.… Expand
