Player Unknown's Battlegrounds just got released on console (Xbox and Ps) yesterday. Got a couple good hours of play time under my belt, including in a squad. Hit 7th solo, and hit 2nd twice in our squad.
First impressions:
Pretty buggy. It's pretty much a beta release from what I can tell.
Entertaining as a solo player, but the real gem is playing in a 4 person squad.
Menus are a little tough to figure out, there's no tutorial. Google ends up being your friend until you figure it out.
Gunfights get intense, especially in a squad on squad situation.
What really makes this game stand out is that unlike a lot of fps or shooter type games, players don't "stand out". For instance, someone in the shadow of a tree a long ways a way isn't obvious unless they're backlit by the sun etc. You can easily take fire and have no idea where it's coming from besides the sound.
Headphones are a must to play this game well.
So far, I like it a ton.
