PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS game preview

PUBG

Maybe the battle royale genre wouldn’t have become so popular if it weren’t for the launch of this title. Featuring a more detailed, realistic look, weapons that are accurate to their real-life counterparts as well as the ability to drive vehicles that need to actually have gas, PUBG also receives consistent updates in an effort to keep things fresh. While there’s no building system like in Fortnite, PUBG also offers intense albeit slower-paced 100-player battles on beautiful maps, so if you’re looking for a more military-ish modern-themed title then you might like PUBG.

This action-packed battle royale also has you worry about oxygen, forcing you to keep an eye on any oxygen tanks in your surroundings. Unlike most or all battle royales, rounds in this game end differently - after some time a helicopter arrives, which can rescue 4 survivors with the most oxygen but also reveals everyone’s location.
Darwin Project game preview

Darwin Project

The map in the Darwin Project is a lot smaller compared to Fortnite, and the total amount of players a match can have is also a lot smaller. There are 10 players placed into a snowy map, and all you start off with is a bow and axe.

So how does this title force players closer to intense battles? Well, this game employs a unique feature: each 10-player match has an 11th player, who acts as the Show Director. This player has the role of controlling the tempo of the match, doing things such as choosing which zone to close to keep things going. Even those watching the match can have an influence over the choices of the
