While the game definitely needs some optimization (Coming in just a few weeks per the developers), it is an absolute RIOT. I haven't had this much fun with a shooter in a long time. IMO, this game takes everything H1Z1:KOTK does to the next level.

Pros
+Gunplay is awesome. ADS is a real thing.. Your hits are registered clientside and the registration feels really good.
+Intensity is great. You can't beat the adrenaline when you're surrounded or when that circle is closing in on you fast.
+Feel. The slightly more tactical feel/pace of this game is just so superior to KOTK imo. It just feels right.
+Guns... All of them feel like they have a place and can get kills. Theres many different guns too.. unlike KOTK where you have 2 AR's, 1 Hunting Rifle and a Shotgun. Off the top of my head there are 4 AR's, 4 Sniper Rifles, 3 Shotguns, and several pistols. They all are good in their own areas.
+Gun Mods... Gun mods offer a bit of customization in the game. You'll find different sights (red dot, holographic, 4x acog, 8x scope, 15x scope) and other things such as Extended Mags, Stocks, Compensators and even Silencers. And let me tell you... unless you are really close to someone with a silencer, you won't have a damn clue where you're getting shot from. They work FANTASTIC and add another aspect to the game that causes you to play even more tactical.
+Leaderboards... They exist.... and they work really well!
+Crates... Completely bought by in game currency that at this time cannot be purchased (at least not that i've found). Items are purely cosmetic. You do not need to buy a key to open the crates.
+Map... I like the map! It has all kinds of diversity when it comes to different areas to play in. Obviously you're constrained a bit to where the circles end up, but learning the spots that you like fighting in best makes the begging jump that much better.
+Jumping From Plane... Skydiver simulator 2017 is well done. You have good control over your parachute and you get to decide when you jump.
+Devs... Devs are actively patching all the time. They have been very responsive and have outlined future patch plans. Optimization is their biggest focus right now.

Cons
-Like I said, the game needs to be better optimized. That being said, I get 70-110 FPS on low unless im in a very large city (then I usually see around 30). It's definitely playable, but the game looks gorgeous on the higher graphics settings. It would be awesome to play on those settings and get good performance. Optimization is coming a couple weeks into April, so I'm excited for that.
-Server Lag/Desync. It happens. Fairly often. That being said, its usually at the very beginning of a game (and not every game. I'd say probably half). After a chunk of people have died, its usually pretty smooth for the rest of the game. They have been making updates to this on a very regular basis and I am confident they will get it resolved. It does ruin a game every once in a while, but for the most part the fun of this game far outweighs this issue.


If you have a decent computer and can handle running the game on the lowest settings right now, get the game. Its a BLAST. If that doesn't sound like you, wait until mid april until they have some of the big FPS optimizations in and then pick it up. WARNING.... this games super addicting. Forcing myself to go to bed at night has become a tough task. Thats the sign of a great game.
