Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds
For all of the popularity Fortnite may enjoy as the go-to battle royale title, Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds will always be the influential game that kicked the craze off.
Even in its rougher early build, people were drawn to the experience PUBG offered. Surrounded by an ever-narrowing boundary ring, they’d need to use their wits and any weapons they could find to survive.
This led to everything from climactic final showdowns between heavily-armed survivors to a crafty competitor emerging victorious after hiding the entire game.
To make things even better, the game continued to be expanded upon and honed with each new wave of players it saw. New maps, equipment, and gameplay elements were added regularly,
As a result, most every round had the potential to feel fresh, tense and, by its conclusion, invigorating.
Even with its competitors now surpassing it in some areas, it remains the herald of things to come and a title that won’t soon be forgotten by those who experienced its influence first hand.
