PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) vs Radical Heights
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.
Radical Heights
Radical Heights is a brand-new, over-the-top, free-to-play battle royale game with a funky 80s theme. Featuring a premise that mimics that of The Culling, the game is set in a domed "fake city" constructed solely for the high-stakes game show that you are a participant in. In this game show, participants will need to battle each other for access to better weapons, gadgets, awesome cosmetics, and, of course, cash while trying to avoid dying in the process. If you survived to the very end, you'll be declared the winner of the game show and will be showered with virtual fame and fortune.In addition to its fiery third-person gunplay, players will also get to travel around the map and battle their rivals on epic BMX bikes. However, unlike Fortnite Battle Royale, you can't build stuff in this game.
Granted that Radical Heights is still in its VERY early access and hence, there is still plenty of stuff that needs to be tweaked and fixed, you can still get a pretty good idea of the game's potential in being one of the better battle royale games on PC. You can also get involved in the game's development and give the developers feedback as you play.
