Early Access Review
Still a little buggy, although highly addictive!

This game is still being developed, so I was prepared for the occasional client crash and other related problems, but its intuitive gameplay and addictive feeling barely make it worth your money.

You're injected with a rush of adrenalin from the moment you step your feet on the ground and run to the nearest house, hoping you find some weapon that may allow you to survive the first in-game seconds. You're constantly suspicious of every house, every tree every sound... It makes a 30 minutes game go by like you've only been playing for a couple of minutes, and after you die, you just want to play it once more.

The gameplay could be improved. Specially, the interface used to pick up items and use vehicles.

In the end, it all comes around playability, and the server (the EU one, at least) is way too laggy at the moment for you to enjoy a nice game. I died countless times without even realizing I was under fire until I got shot like 3 times, because of imense and consistent lag. I frequently last until the last 15 or 10 players, but every fire-fight I'm in, I'll most probably die because of the game lagging the moment I'm shooting the other player...

Barely worth the 30$ as it is right now. Devs will be in a real trouble if the hype for this game runs out before they optimize it...

EDIT: The dedicated EU servers are currently overflown with asian players (apparently, because of their own overflown servers), resulting in even more lag than before, despite the devs efforts to optimize the game. This, combined with the recent rising number of cheating players (last night, died 3 times in a row to cheating players), makes the game almost unplayable for me... I'm guessing this is the beggining of the end for PUBG...

EDIT 2: My frustration in being killed endlessly because of lag led me to this tweaks page (http://forums.playbattlegrounds.com/topic/12299-great-tutorial-on-how-to-improve-performance-in-pubg/) that improved the game's performance drastically. I'm serious, it's a whole new game in terms of playability!
