Paladins vs PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
Paladins
Paladins is a breakout MMO hero shooter game that offers a smooth mix of objective-based matches and arcade-styled, first-person shooting. In addition to an amazing lineup of champions of varying skills and abilities to play as, the game also incorporates a unique card-based loadout system where you'll need to adapt to the random cards that you get as you play. The matches themselves are team-oriented and fast-paced as well. Best yet, the game is going to launch its new battle royale game mode soon, which guarantees to put a twist to the conventional genre.Paladins: Champions of the Realm is a great alternative to games like Team Fortress 2, Dirty Bomb and Overwatch. Both competitive and casual players will definitely enjoy this game!
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.
