Since the game's inception in 2016, the main purpose of the game has always been to be a Battle Royale . As such, most of the game modes in the game still follow that same formula, although they are spread out over several different mo

There is a first-person and third-person mode available, and you can play as a solo, in a duo, or with a four-person squad. Custom game modes are now available in PUBG as well, including a Zombies mode and a Team Deathmatch Mode . With all these fancy modes it's still the classic solo gameplay that gives you the best PUBG Updates experience in 2

Not only did I play Dark Souls III this year, but I also finally played Dark Souls Remastered after it came to PS4 and I dug that a whole bunch as well. While it took me somewhat longer to get to than many others, I'm glad I finally experienced most of this franchise for myself. Even if it's maybe referenced a bit too much, Dark Souls really is as important as it's made out to be and I'm now a FromSoftware fanboy. Bring it on, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice .

School has long been a favorite among players. The fact that famous streamers like Shroud used to drop here very often contributed significantly to its popularity while also demonstrating its importance. This three-story building is not a spot for players wanting to take their time while looting for a perfect se

Furthermore, I became obsessed with the League of Legends pro scene this year to the point that I was waking up at 4:00 AM nearly every day in October to watch the World Championship live as it happened in Korea. League of Legends has turned me into someone that I don't really recognize, but I'm kind of okay with it. I'm curious to see if I remain as obsessed with League as we move through 2019, but as for this year, it stands as the game that captured my time and attention the most.

PUBG is nothing short of a phenomenon. The Battle Royale game kickstarted the genre that is now incredibly popular the world over. The game is in its tenth season and continues to receive updates to keep the game fresh and balanced. After the PC version of the game received version 10.3 at the start of the month, the PUBG console update 10.3 will be live today, February 23. Here are all the times and patch notes you need to know ab

You can leave a Ranked Match up to 5 minutes after (but not before) the plane has taken off without losing reputation, in situations where matchmaking has provided you with a random teammate who has then exited the ma

New water and air vehicles have definitely changed up the way PUBG is played. The Aquarail is a much faster, and arguably safer, way of traveling over water, and the Motor Glider is a lot of fun, although an easy target. Old school fans of PUBG will be happy to hear that getting killed while jumping out of a moving vehicle is still very much a thing in 2

Having mastered some parachuting skills, you will be able to land in your desired spot, far away from the initial chaos. You certainly have a higher chance of winning the game once you have looted your desired ite

Shadow of the Colossus remains such a special game thirteen years after its original release on PS2, and it's a game that I think everyone needs to play for themselves before they die. I'll likely continue to revisit this gem every year or two and I hope that other remakes on the horizon can live up to the standard that was set here. I'm looking at you, Resident Evil 2 .

Another important factor is the position of this spot on the map. It doesn't possess the advantage that School and Pochinki have. It is far south of the map, and you should think about ways of traveling to the next zo

Microtransactions have been a thing in PUBG for a couple of years now. It all works with a rotating crate system . Players can unlock crates with BP. These cost real cash . The locked crate system was phased out back in 2019. You can get various cosmetics from crates, primarily clothing items and gun sk

God of War 's masterful storytelling, combined with some of the best action gameplay I've seen in years, makes for an experience that I've been dying to play. Even though I love games like The Last of Us and Uncharted , I've always found that the gameplay in those examples was never able to match their masterful storytelling. God of War , on the other hand, finally proved to me that just because you place story at the forefront of the gaming experience doesn't mean it has to come at the cost of enticing, fluid combat mechanics. This marriage of gameplay and narrative delivery I think is the greatest achievement that we saw in gaming in 2018 and makes for the best all-around experience of the year -- as seen with our Game of the Year honors .

PUBG is a game of patience , and of hiding, most of the time. Best to give it a minute or so after securing your kill to begin looting. Sometimes the box will be somewhere that's relatively safe so you can go ahead and loot freely. Alternatively, drop a smoke grenade on the box, or perfect your side-to-side looting str
