Gone are the days when mobile users played simple and addictive games such as Fruit Ninja and Temple Run. Sure, similar games exist today, but more serious gamers can now enjoy playing big-scale, console titles such as PUBG.
The core battle royale loop
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a battle royale shooter, where up to 100 players dive onto a large map with nothing but their fists to fight with! The main goal is to gather enough equipment, such as guns, a durable helmet, first aid equipment, and a large backpack, before you go on to fight literally everyone you encounter. The large map shrinks over time, so make sure you stay inside the safe circle!Teaming up for survival
The game supports modes where you can play in teams consisting of up to four players, which is definitely the best way to play, as playing solo is quite difficult. Finding a friend or two to play with shouldn't be difficult as the player base is massive!Performance on older hardware
The game is well optimized for most mobile devices, but you still need a newer smartphone with plenty of free space for the download. We tested the game on a variety of older budget smartphones, and the game is surprisingly playable even on medium settings. It is definitely one of the most entertaining mobile games of all time, but it's not a casual pick-up-and-play title.Touch controls and communication bugs
Shooting via touch screen is also difficult sometimes. You often end up shooting instead of dragging your camera, which is both annoying and lets enemies know if you are nearby. Also, voice chat is somewhat buggy and we noticed that players can barely understand each other, even on quality internet connections.
