Playerunkown's Battle Royale 0.6

The western video game industry has had eras. When it first began, it was the era where they rushed out games and oversaturated the market before killing it off momentarily. Then it was the renaissance era, where genres were defined and even innovated upon. Then it was the FPS era, where Halo and Call of Duty reigned supreme and everyone tried to steal their audience. And now, with the release of Playerunknown's Battle Royale, we are in the Battle Royale era.

To install Playerunknown's Battle Royale, make sure you have Arma 3 installed. Once that's done, just unzip the archive into the base game folder. 

This game plays like a rougher version of its successor, as it's limited by its origins as a mod. However, the gameplay loop is all there. You drop down from a plane, land on the ground below, and scavenge for weapons to kill the other players all while a kill circle forces everybody to get closer and closer.

Inventory management is very clunky if you're used to its successor, as it uses ARMA 3's inventory system instead of the more specialized, streamlined one. The gunplay also feels slightly different due to being set in the ARMA 3 engine. However, outside of that, the same highs and lows are there. When you ambush somebody without their knowledge and kill them without any chance of them reacting, it feels as satisfying as it ever has.

All in all, if you want to see where PUBG came from, then you should give Playerunknown's Battle Royale a download.
