WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! The beloved PC and Xbox One game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has made it to mobile! I have never played the game on PC or console but do enjoy certain multiplayer games even if I’m no good at it, this game is still lots of fun!
There are some differences between playing on PC to playing it on mobile. There are more sizable customization options on the mobile version, and the player can gain more XP as they continue to play! Similar to other FPS-like games, the screen has an analog stick for moving the player and a bullet for shooting.
When I played the game, I played the team match option (not knowing about other options). There is nothing scarier than diving out of an airplane in only a bra and panties, landing and expecting to survive with other players that can kill you as soon as you land. Surprisingly, I survived for some time while also collecting clothing and weapons but ended up past the Playzone where my character died.
The other options for matches are dual and solo. On my second play through, I decided to go solo because I prefer to rely on myself rather than someone else to get through a match. I collected items, drove various vehicles and killed 3 other players before getting killed for being out of the Playzone when it moved.
It’s hard to tell whether another player is a bot or a real person, but either way the game is still challenging and fun to go through. I connected my game with Facebook, so I could play with other friends on mobile if we wanted to do a team or dual match.
Depending on what kind of mobile device is being used, the graphics are decent. I played it on a Moto E4 Plus prepaid cellphone with no lag. The controls are very easy to use; before a match starts the player can run around and get a feel for the controls. The game is free on the iTunes store and the Google Play Store, but there are options to purchase items with real-time money.
My score: 4/5
