Mavericks: Proving Grounds vs PUBG Mobile
Mavericks: Proving Grounds
Mavericks: Proving Grounds is an ambitious, 400-player battle royale game that includes some form of virtual world game elements to make it more social. What do we mean by that? Well, basically, there's a central, social hub where you can meet, chat and interact with other players. Similar to a virtual world game or an MMORPG, there are shops manned by NPCs here along with a nice selection of mini-games for you to enjoy during your downtimes outside of the "Proving Grounds". There's even a shooting range for you to test your skills.In terms of gameplay, Mavericks: Proving Grounds provides a massive 16km x 16km-sized map, which is dubbed as the Isle of Dern, that's filled with immaculate details like buildings, forests and the like. You'll then search these locations for chests or boxes containing the weapons or tools you need Considering the vastness of the map, there are vehicles you can drive around too.
Admittedly, it's pretty much similar to PUBG in many ways, but what truly makes this game unique is its physically-sound destructible environments. For instance, let's say an enemy is taking pot-shots at you from a forest but you can't see where he is... all you need to do is light the entire place on fire and smoke him out. There are also special specialist hardware that are powerful to use but can be really hard to find. These items will give you more strategic opportunities to get at your opponents.
The game has a bit of RPG in it mainly due to its emphasis on narrative and how every battle you fight in may determine the fate of the world. Through a unique reputation system, you can fight for the faction of your choice, either The Capital or one of The Factions, by completing achievements or simply by performing well in-game. Naturally, each faction provides you with their own sets of benefits.
Mavericks will be free-to-play once it is officially released, but it will also offer a premium, citizenship program. Likely a subscription program, having a citizenship will grant you some perks, allowing you to say earn more in-game currency and prestige, access to premium cosmetics and more.

PUBG Mobile
PUBG Mobile is the mobile port of the insanely popular battle royale game, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Featuring the same intense gameplay as the original (PC/console) version, you'll be pitted against 100 other players a.k.a. survivors on a remote but vast island in a massive showdown of wits and skill, all done in the hopes of being the last person standing and winning that goshdarn delicious "chicken dinner".This port is as perfect as it can get without compromising on quality, though there have been some rumors going around that the game is rigged, at the beginning at least, so you'd play against bots rather than an all-humasn ensemble of players. This is actually a pretty great idea to ease new players into a highly competitive game. The best part about all of this, however, is the fact that the game is free-to-play. Of course, the game still retains its principle of fairness so you won't see spenders with overpowered weaponry right from the start in this game.
So, if you have always wanted to try "the battle royale game that started it all", this is your chance! PUBG Mobile is as close to the real thing as it gets and well, you can play this for free!
