Black Survival vs PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
Black Survival
Black Survival is a battle royale/survival game that will bring to mind games like PUBG and movies like the Hunger Games. However, as opposed to having plenty of players in a single game, Black Survival only houses up to 10 players on a deserted island. The island itself is segmented into 22 areas, each of which will gradually become "restricted areas" that drastically drain your health if you insist on staying in that area. It's also great that the game has a crafting aspect, allowing you to create hundreds of different weapons, tools and food items.Best yet, the game has an amazing myriad of characters for you to play as, each of them have their own backstories for you to discover. Characters are not all free, though you can literally play all of them by patiently waiting for the game's free character rotation. And of course, it also happens to be an anime-themed game... how many anime-themed battle royale games have you seen so far? (The answer is none except this one, by the way)
So, to sum up, Black Survival may have come out at just the right moment when the Battle Royale hype is at its peak thanks to popular games like PUBG and Fortnite Battle Royale, but it managed to innovate the genre and provide players with a fresh new perspective to the genre. You can even play this game for free while you're on the go!
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is a battle royale game that features a vast open world island filled with plenty of resources to scavenge. Being a battle royale game, everyone will start off on an equal playing field. Through clever scavenging and picking the correct fights will you end up with the last few survivors to battle it out for the winning spot as the map will gradually shrink, pushing survivors closer and closer together.In some way, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds reminds me of Hunger Games, albeit a much more brutal Hunger Games that you can actually play in, and I'd actually like that.
However, the game is still pretty poorly optimized long after its release as an early access game, and well, the game has drawn plenty of flak since the devs have started banning anybody who killed a streamer who cries foul due to this thing called "Stream sniping", giving rise to a pretty bad and toxic atmosphere where streamers are players whom you literally can't kill in fear of being banned for no reason other than getting the upper hand on a streamer. Worst thing is the game's not exactly a free-to-play, so if you do get banned, that's literally money down the drain.
So, even if the game is as epic a battle royale game as it is, you should keep these downsides in mind going in. Gameplay-wise, the game is amazing, but you will need to be wary of its increasingly toxic community (both players and the team managing the PR side of the game).
Its developer, BlueHole, has recently (as of March 2018) released the mobile versions of the game, PUBG Mobile. The mobile version of PUBG is available on both Android and iOS.
