3) PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PC) – Metacritic Score: 86
Arguably the most popular game of 2017, PlayerUnknown’s Battleground (PUBG), hit insane concurrent player figures without even being a full release. Taking on players alone, or as part of a squad, players hunt for weapons and items that help them be the last one standing and get that Chicken Dinner. Finally, in December, version 1.0 released alongside the Xbox One preview version of the game, prompting critics to publish finalized reviews.
As it had been by fans throughout 2017, critics praised PUBG for its compelling gameplay loop. Whether you’re playing one game or binging tens of them, the game feels fresh due to the tactical variety and well-designed map. The possibilities for additions in terms of map and gameplay options are exciting and the popularity is a testament to how impressive of an experience it is. Hopefully, now that the game has reached full release, the developer will begin to smooth out the rough edges.
