Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) (colloquially known as pub-gee) lit the world on fire last year. It sold millions before it even left Early Access on Steam, and kicked off the battle royale gaming craze we’re experiencing right now. Now this FPS juggernaut is on mobile.
In PUBG you play as a mercenary who parachutes, along with up to 99 other players, onto an island. Once they land, players scavenge for weapons, ammo, armor, and other supplies in a last-man-standing death match. The game’s map starts large, but quickly shrinks as the electrical storm around the island collapses into progressively smaller circles, forcing players together as the game goes on.
It’s a simple concept with tons of room for complexity. You land on an island with 99 other people and only your fists. Find a gun and stay in the circle. Last one standing wins. Is it worth playing? That’s what we aim to find out in this PUBG Mobile review.
The Mobile version of PUBG has pretty much all the features of its PC counterpart, with a few exceptions. The game only offers PUBG’s original map, Erangel — an abandoned, vaguely Eastern European 8 km x 8 km island. Everything from the PC version of this map — from the abandoned military base to the burned out nuclear power plant — has made it to the Mobile version of the game.
All the weapons, gear, and vehicles available when PUBG first exited Early Access are here too. The guns it’s added since are absent, as is the game’s second map, Miramar.
The game is completely free. You can login as either a guest or with Facebook to play. Gameplay and daily login rewards will earn your account experience and battle points, which can be spent on crates which contain a random piece of clothing for your character. Unlike in the PC version, you don’t start with any available clothing, but getting at least a pair of pants doesn’t take too long.
The graphics and sound effects for the mobile version is pretty well since it's adjustable for mid-range and low range phones. Important sounds such as footsteps are very clear and apt.
The game also provides an in-game voice chat so that gaming strategies can be planned.
But there are some trivial issues players have reported with the mobile version. The stability of the game for mid-range and below mid-range phones could be improved so that the players can enjoy a smooth and uninterrupted gaming experience. Alongside this, bugs and glitches in the game should be investigated and fixed as soon as possible.
Since there has been no major issues with the concept and complexity of the game, I give rate PUBG Mobile a 10/10.
♤ On a side note, let me take this opportunity to tell the video game lovers that to enjoy the true gaming experience, it's best if you play it on Xbox or PC, which will set you back a mere $30.
