Every thing is in Spanish. And the package came smashed and bent.

Before buying this game, please bear in mind that it is a work in progress. To some this may be off putting but for those who know, it just means you can play the game as it grows and improves, quite like how 7 Days to Die is. There will be bugs, there will be glitches etc but these shouldn't make you completely disregard the game because it's fantastic.

The premise is simple - you pick to play as a solo player, as a duo or as a squad (maximum of 4) and are flown over a huge island where you jump out at a time of your choosing. With nothing but the clothes on your back, you parachute down, landing where you please, in search for gear, weapons and vehicles in order to compete against the 99 other players who, along with yourself, are out to kill each other until only one player/duo/squad is left standing. Players could just hide without killing anyone so the game would go on for hours BUT this isn't the case! There's a play area radius that, over a couple of decently timed intervals, gets smaller and smaller until there is only a small area for the remaining to battle and if you're outside of this play area you have to outrun the "blue wall of death" until you reach the new play area radius. Oh, and there's also random red circle radius' which gets bombed and your only saviour is running out of the radius or hiding inside a building (STAY AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS!)

So far I have played a dozen games in solo and duo with zero bugs or glitches occurring and only the slightest bit of lag on the very rare occasion. The graphics aren't the best but I'm a firm believer on gameplay enjoyability over how the game looks and this certainly delivers an enjoyable experience. One of the the only problems I have with this game is the controller layout, it's very weird and quite difficult to get used to a first but I found after a couple of games I was acquainted enough with the controller scheme to effectively play the game and navigate the inventory.

One of the plus points of a game like PUBG is that it's heavily influenced by community feedback, the developers are always looking to the forums for things that need improving and great ideas that could be implemented. Something you don't get with massive companies!

This game is set to only get better and better and I'm looking forward to many hours of playing with my friends and seeing what they do to this game in the future. I seriously recommend this for a group of friends who just want a game to have fun on and have a laugh!

Really pleased with this game! - 9/10

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 13, 2017

As soon as this was announced there was a horde of people slating it saying it wouldn't work, or that Fortnite is a better game. And although everyone is entitled to their own opinions I'm happy to say this game is great and I'm thrilled it is available on console.

As someone who does't have the time/money to invest in a high-end PC I was pleased when this game was announced as I was keen to have a go at it, the premise is simple enough, 100 players drop in 1 player/pair/team survive and win! The map itself is huge with plenty of areas to loot so you get a fair chance at the minimum, the game is slow-paced to start, but obviously picks up once the map forces you closer together, vehicles are available to cover large distances as the risk of exposing yourself due to the noise produced. You can honestly play how you prefer, go for kills and play aggressive, or avoid conflict until it's essential, there's no "right or wrong" way to play the game.

Obviously this game is still in it's early stages so do not expect a flawless experience right off the bat, the rendering/frame rate struggles when you first eject from the plane, and the movement is still a bit jaded when sprinting or vaulting, the aiming also seems indifferent at times so be prepared to be patient.

Also I'd recommend looking up the controls before jumping into a game, some buttons aren't what you'd expect them to be and it took me a few games to start to get to grips with them, again I'd just say be prepared to be a little bit patient.

Overall I'd simply say judge this game on it's own, comparisons to Fortnite just seems odd, I've played/love Fortnite but the only similarity is it's 100 PvP, everything else is different and I enjoy both games for their own reasons. If you wan't an online game that forces you to think a little bit more and takes time/effort to grow into, then this is the game for you!

It’s a game preview and it’s pretty awesome

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 12, 2017

Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: Game Preview EditionVerified Purchase

It’s a cardboard box with a code to download, download is pretty quick and once the game is up and loaded, it runs with a bit of lag as expected - me and my partner have played around 6 or 7 duo games and it crashed on us once, we were able to jump straight back in to our match no problem!
It’s a game preview so it’s not going to be perfect, the graphics aren’t great and I’m running a 2T Xbox one s but the game runs! The controls are a lot to get used to but I think it’ll be a great addition to the Xbox game family :)

Less Forgiving

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2018

Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: Game Preview EditionVerified Purchase

This game is for those who like the more unforgiving games such as Counterstrike, Dark Souls, etc. You are dropped on to an island with nothing but the clothes on your back. You find your weapons by scavenging them from buildings (although what sort of community leaves assault weapons laying around is anyone’s guess). Your goal is to be the last person standing. The game forces you towards the other players by using an ever-decreasing playing area. The game is more realistic than most & it is often very difficult to see your opponents at any great distance, which I suppose is true to real life. Get hit once or twice & you’re out of the game. You can drive almost all vehicles in the game but the noise exposes your location.

Compare this to Fortnite which has the same ‘Battle Royale’ format. This is more for your Team Fortress player that sees gaming as fun. You seem to bump into other players less often giving you the feeling of actually being able to survive. There is no driving vehicles, but you can build fortifications to protect yourself, & ramps to reach hard to get to places. There is a much more varied selection of weapons to choose from. Plus the game is free-to-play.

I personally like Fortnite best. It’s fun, easy to pick up, & therefore doesn’t depress you should you occasionally die in the first minute of the game. Battlegrounds is more for the player that sees themselves as an armchair survivalist that should society fall they know they would be okay.

Battlegrounds = Unforgiving, realistic, grind, a way of life that is often frustrating.
Fortnite = Fun, laid back, entertaining, play & forget sort of game.

Great game! Worth grabbing it for this great price.. come and have some chicken dinner!

Great game! Really surprised how well it runs for a game preview - excited for the game to be complete but for now I’ve not had any issues playing.

From what I’ve seen/heard the game will be a lower price during game preview and then around usual game price when full game is released - may as well grab this great game while it’s a low price.

Also, worth noting as at my time of purchase I didn’t see but this is a game code and doesn’t come with a disc - even better as no need to hunt through game cases to find it.

I ordered this on 03/12 and was “guaranteed” delivery on release date - I received this a day late.. not affected the overall gameplay obviously but rather annoyed to be told “Guaranteed” delivery.

The most fun I’ve had for any game in a while

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2018

Platform For Display: Xbox OneEdition: Game Preview EditionVerified Purchase

The most fun I’ve had for any game in a while, genuinely enjoy playing it solo and teaming up with my buddies, a magic I have found lost in most modern AAA games, which all seem monotonous and repetitive, this is and has been bringing something new to the table for a little while now on PC, and I can see exactly why it has such a large player base!

everyone seems to complain about the lag/graphics/rendering/crashing, but it’s a sub 30 quid “game preview” game, what ok earth was you moaners expecting?

Well worth the money IMO, and super enjoyable!
