For the longest time, multiplayer gaming in India revolved around cyber cafes. A regular weekend plan (or weekday, if you decided not to attend class) would consist of you and your mates heading to the nearest LAN gaming parlor and spending the day playing Counter-Strike, DOTA 2, or whatever said parlor had installed. For most of the country, that was the extent of online gaming. There would be intermittent waves with games like League of Legends, but nothing took the mass population by storm quite like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, especially the mobile vers
To make it simpler, PUBG Mobile permeated into Indian pop-culture the same way Fornite did in the USA and other parts of the world. Before we understand why PUBG got so popular, there are a few things we need to understand about the country. India is a primarily mobile-based country with 97% of users running Android . The advent of budget smartphones like VIVO, OPPO, and MI has not only increased the accessibility to smartphones, but also widened the gap in Android’s fav
The consoles are a bit lower due to the less optimal controls but it’s still intimidating enough. PUBG Mobile, however, welcomes everyone with open arms and is easier to play because some of the players are not that serious or are just out to have fun. The FPS game reviews also sometimes uses bots to boost your confide
Revenant is a brutal being. This psychopathic synth has been terrorising the Outlands of Apex Legends for decades, and now he finds himself within the Apex Games , ready to wreak havoc and take some lives. We’ve already seen plenty from Revenant and his squabbles with fellow legend Loba , but if you haven’t spent a good amount of time playing with his unique abilities in battle then you probably still have a lot to le

With this in mind, games like Call of Duty: Warzone and Fortnite seem to have an edge in the battle royale market due to their free-to-play nature. While most battle royale games have adopted this free model, other games like Battlefield 5 and Fallout 76 added battle royale modes to full-priced games post-launch. Locking this mode behind a paywall didn’t seem to sit well with players and possibly limited its potential audience. So, battle roles with a free module supported by cosmetic progressions seem to be the baseline for the rec
This battle royale formula can be compared to following an online recipe in a lot of ways, however. Simply following the recipe line for line doesn’t always guarantee a tasty dish, and adding things to the recipe could make the meal worse if the cook has a different palette than those that are eating. Too much sugar in the recipe could leave diners satisfied temporarily, but still hungry for more within 20 minutes of finishing the meal, whereas too much salt could render the food so vile that someone may never want to return to an establishment ever again. In this sense, the ingredients for a battle royale game could help determine whether or not players come back for a second or even a third help
The battle royale games that manage to stick around past launch and stay in gamers’ daily conversations seem to do a great job of managing these ingredients. Developers could only be scratching the surface of how to be successful in the genre, however, and it will be interesting to see what new flavors could be added to the battle royale dishes of tomor
PUBG Mobile also lacks in the interior design aspect. There is little-to-no design inside houses, and a simple rug and shelf seems to be the only thing that decorates most interiors. Meanwhile, PUBG is much more detailed, with lots of additional decoration located around the walls and in the rooms. PUBG even adds extra small rooms like bathrooms or closet to fill empty space, whereas PUBG Mobile just leaves these spots o
For battle royale games, this idea can be compared to out of game progression. Apex Legends rewards players for playing matches with XP to level up their profile, earning both credits to use on the in-game store as well as Apex Packs, the game’s iteration of the loot box. Through this method, Apex Legends seemingly provides more value for players uninterested in engaging with microtransactions or a battle pass. This could be a factor that has helped Apex Legends continue to grow its incredibly large player ba
