While I do get the arguments in all the negative reviews - this game is incredibly fun. And incredibly addicting. More than any other I can think of that came out in the last decade or so. I had a blast when I was playing it on a laptop with 20 FPS, and I'm having a blast now after I've upgraded to a 8700k and a 1080Ti which CAN run it at 200 FPS if you're using 1080p res.

The "eSports ready" meme exists for a reason, and I honestly don't see Bluehole ever fixing it to the point where it will become competitively viable. But as a casual game? Something to play with friends and ♥♥♥♥ around? Something to play after a long day? It just may be perfect, even with all its issues.
If you're all about winning and improving and such, well, CS:GO and Quake Champions will cater to your needs. If not, give PUBG a try, it absolutely is worth it.


The ingame crates paid for the game in like a month, and in ~150 hours I even made a handy little profit from it. Pretty satisfied with my purchase overall.

EDIT: well, 2 years later and 2000 hours later - I think it's safe to say it was indeed a good purchase. :)

5 years and 4000 hours later - best game in the genre, nothing quite like it. It's the Counter-Strike of the Battle Royale genre, accept no substitutes.
