The Real Review

This open-world survival roguelike from PLAYERUNKNOWN Productions is getting a very mixed reception, with the bad often outweighing the good. While the core idea of a fresh, procedurally generated wilderness to explore has its fans, the execution is rough. Gameplay feels undercooked and unsatisfying for many, and the game's performance on PC is a major, widely-reported problem, plagued with technical issues. For most, it's currently not worth the price.
