Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground vs PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground is the blocky version of a potentially fun, mobile-based MMO battle royale game. Despite being a work-in-progress, the game already has really impressive features such as a massive map where vehicles (and by extension, vehicular combat) become necessary, a vast arsenal of weapons to find and skins to collect, a live chatting system for team-based fights, and a fun pixel shooter gameplay that employs auto-shooting so all you just need to do is to aim.Not to mention, being a battle royale game, the map will gradually shrink after some time, with the outer dead zones closing in rapidly on the safe zones. This will force players to the center of the map where gunfights will then break out more frequently as players vie for the ultimate spot - to become the victor royale!
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground still has its fair share of flaws and bugs since it is, after all, still under development. However, with time and feedback, this game may just end up being one of the best block-like battle royale games on mobile.
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.
