On that last point, PUBG is by no means the "best" game from this year. On a technical level, it's still riddled with bugs and in dire need of fine-tuned optimization on PC (and on Xbox One as well, given the reports of its significant technical performance issues).

Whatever nagging issues and growing pains that PUBG still has from its Early Access launch, there's still tons to enjoy from the multiplayer-only experience, thanks in large part to its addictive and intense gameplay. PUBG seems to have skyrocketed at the right place and time (especially given its perfect concept for streaming), and while the overall game has some significant work ahead to improve the experience, the core of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is one that, I think, will be the foundat...

A large portion of that can be attributed to its incredible popularity with streamers on YouTube and Twitch , but even more of that can be given to the fact that, linked web-site even in its Early Access state, Battlegrounds is an incredibly-nuanced multiplayer experience worth playing, even if survival/Early Access games aren't necessarily your thing. Take that recommendation from someone who - prior to Battlegrounds - wasn't exactly a fan of the rising "survival sim" genre (particularly on St...

But for as many flaws as PUBG has, both subtle and incredibly noticeable, it's also the game I've just wanted to keep coming back to month after month after month.
