Free Fire - Battlegrounds vs PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
Free Fire - Battlegrounds
Free Fire - Battlegrounds is a 30-man battle royale game that is set on a remote, open-world island in the middle of nowhere. Featuring an intense and competitive, third-person survival gameplay that may remind you of PlayerUnknown's Battleground, this game will have you do whatever it takes to be the last man standing. This include scavenging buildings for weapons, ammo, and other supplies, or simply killing other players for their stuff.The map in this game is also vast and incredibly detailed, providing players with plenty of places to set up ambushes or to hide from danger. Due to its size, players will be able to travel across it in vehicles, if they can find a functional one. That aside, despite being a mobile game, Free Fire does have some responsive and easy-to-use controls, making it easier for you to dominate the battlefield. The huge arsenal of weapons and their attachments at your disposal helps a lot as well.
It's not surprising to see that more and more PUBG-like battle royale games, like Free Fire - Battlegrounds, start to hit the mobile platform. After all, the hype over this genre is as solid as what MOBA had experienced a few years back. So, if you fancy playing a good battle royale game on your tablet or phone, you definitely have to try this game out!
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.
