Sank in alot of hours during it's early release and being one of the first Battle royales to go big, it had a great charm for the first being very popular in it's genre (not looking at h1z1 here), it's now outperformed by countless other Battle Royales that play much better and much more fun than this game, they never fixed the input lag (PUBG seemingly has no hardware input, which is an absolute MUST for FPS), cheaters are still abundant and overall the movement feels clunky although the latter may be a design choice for it being based off of Arma, surprise surprise I don't like movement in Arma either.

If you feel like getting buttraped by chinese hacking squads and people who like torturing themselves with half assed shooter games that has no hardware input (come on, it's 2019, people did this right in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2004) and have become good at it, then this might be your thing.

For Battle Royales there are much better alternatives out there;

Apex
Fortnite << Hate to admit this one, but I'd take this game many times over PUBG because HARDWARE INPUT.
Call of Duty: BlackOut
Ring of Elysium

I've just sunk in my last 2 hours and that'll be it for eternity, sad to say but PUBG nowadays is all but a husk of it's former glory.

EVE Online,

I've sank so many hours into this game that one would deem me a "professional" but even then I still learn alot from day to day, this game is so incredibly complex that you'll never run out of stuff to learn or find out about new things you can do.

I've been playing this game on and off for almost a decade now and I can tell you that this is the worst game in existance with the best community.

Why worst game?
It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dull, you target someone, you hit your modules and you shoot him and hope for the better, or is it?

There's alot of mechanics that come into play when you fight, which you will learn over the course of many fights if you do get into this game, mechanics I can't just explain, they come with experience.

Same goes for alot of activity like Planetary Interaction, Mining and the likes, the action you're undertaking is very, VERY boring (especially in high sec), but it's the suspense of someone being able to come out of nowhere and take your shiny ship to the abyss that keeps you going, a small bit of adrenaline, but then you finally settle down and go, yeah things are okay now, BOOM, hotdrop, 100s of players in system and your shiny 300m mining ship goes up in flames.


Enough of the anecdotes.

I can't stress enough how complicated this game is, not as in HARD, but it has alot of things you can do inside the game, and each activity has a whole encyclopedia on how you can do it better, what items you can get, etc. etc. etc. There's alot of depth to it.

My experience comes solely from pvp and a small bit of industry, things like this:

Just like that stream above, the guy got killed by me, I did not know him before but he made my day by just giving me the finger on his own stream after I killed him (he told me he was streaming after the kill).

People are really people in this game, not like your average cod player that joins your lobby to whom you will never see again, any player has a history, a circle of friends and networks, everything you do leads to another, there really is a butterfly effect in this game.

Whenever you are in a system and you see a person in local, if you look at his history, all the clans (corporations) and alliances he's been part of, all those people still know him, still remember him, still fly or talk with him occasionally.
The whole community is intwined with each other throughout the game because the community management tools inside the game are perfect, people can dictate whom they like or not and literally implement politics, this game has propaganda going on the web and thousands of stories from alot of players alike.

Even though for it's nice stories and events, the game has an argueable amount of active players (45k as writing this review) a day, make note that all these players are all playing on the same server, there's only a sheer amount of people who become interested in this game and their interest is literally limitless, the active gaming community of EVE is one of the most hardcore, but if not the most friendly community out there in any mmo, new players can expect ships and lots of ingame money to come their way and win their hearts over to join the evevets group.

To draw a conclusion about my review;

Pros:

- Game has alot of depth (playing for 10 years, still feel like a new player)
- Near limitless activities to do.
- Very active and friendly community though alot of trolling aka salt mining is abundant throughout the game.
- Sandbox (you decide what you want to do)
- Beautiful space scenery and ships
- Has a pretty good F2P option, people saying you can't do much with a F2P account should shut their prejudice mouth, I wish I had this option 10 years ago, I would've played at least 6 years with all the F2P ships that they can fly.
- The game has alot of IT playing in it, if you have computer problems and you mention it in corp/alliance chat there's at least everyone replying a solution to your computer problem, don't do it too often, you'll lose their interest in solving your problems.

Cons:

- Game pace is slow, for some this can be quite a turnoff.
- Game is very harsh, if you die you lose your ♥♥♥♥, no refunds unless you have an alliance backing you with a ship replacement program, some might view this as a pro.
- Game is dull, as I mentioned before, the actions you take may seem boring, mining is just sitting at an asteroid and shooting lasers at it for hours, it's where talking with your friends or doing your real life administration while watching local/intel is coming into place here.
- May take a long time to get "in" to, the game is complex and requires alot of patience and common sense, something that 70% of the of the human population on the planet Earth lacks.
- Sandbox (some people like linear goals, referring to the con above this one) people might not know what to do and get bored and just leave.

If you are looking for a horror game that will scare you endlessly, you've come to the right address.

Mind you this game is nothing like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, if you want to compare this game to something, don't compare it to that, this game is a monster compared to Amnesia.

This was my mindset after 45 minutes in both games:

Amnesia:

Hmm, I seem to get the hang of this, there's a pattern and the guys don't frighten me as much anymore.
As long as I hide and be careful nothing can go wrong in this game.


Outlast:

I saw someone have sex with a dead body and he called me crazy for watching him, this game is the real de- WHAT IS AROUND THIS CORNER, I DON'T DARE GOING THERE.


As you can see, my focus in Amnesia was just to complete it, in Outlast my insticts were seriously meddling with me while playing this game, I was in a constant state of focus documenting and reading everything < forgetting it in an instant due to a constant state of stress.
This game is seriously not for the lighthearted, on a scale of being scary, I give it a 9 out of 10. (Amensia got a 7 out of 10).

Kind of makes you wonder how crazy the developer must be to produce such a scary and mind numbing environment.

The mechanics in this game.. I love them.

Being able to conquer planets and literally obliterate my enemies made me like this game.

Recommended for people who are into strategic games, not recommended for stupid people :)

For a very simple game it's very catchy and addictive.

I couldn't stop playing until I got that very last level done, and still today I try to advance in the "god" stage.

Recommended for anyone with patience and dedication.
I do NOT recommend it for anyone with a short temper or aggressive tendecies towards hardware after failing consecutive times in this game.

This game is very nice to show at parties how good you are, people will be generally impressed if you manage to stay in the game for more than 30 seconds in the hexagoner stage, 9 out of 10 people I've introduced this game to at parties are now spending weeks to try to beat me, hehehe.

I've been playing this game since the closed beta and it's never ceased to amaze me how well everyone works together to obtain objectives, it's really thrilling to be part of a large scale war.

Semi-good made multiplayer, very addictive singleplayer environment, it's an okay game. Not worth the price though.

This is a very interesting FREE game which is based on DoTa, from warcraft, for those not familliar with the mod, it's basically a custom kind of RP in a RTS, whereas you are supposed to destroy the opponents base while leveling your character ingame.

This game is incredibly fun to play, especially since it's ABSOLUTELY FREE!
