    Currently free as of today, its basically PUBG but more refined and cartoony, was playing it with 2 of my mates for about 3 hours there its mad addictive, would recommend it to anyone!

    I was tempted but i can't really go shooters where its all cartoony. Battle royale games are meant to be dead intense and i think it would probably lose a lot of the tension if folk are running around boinking each other on the head with comically oversized hammers and cracking daft one liners.

    Genuinely enjoying this so much, the on the fly crafting and structure building adds a whole new layer to it.

    Try and play it with your mates!

    Had a shot last night, enjoyed it.

    It just sucks when you get killed early on then it takes ages to get back in to a new game

    Yeah you can invite your friends or join a random squad before you go in and play the game as a team!

    Enjoying this one and can only improve with time as it's still early access. Never tried building anything yet as I feel it leaves you open to attack. Won a match on Squad mode, the other 2 on my team where a class act, they gave me a sniper rifle and brought me back to life a few times. Also been teamed up with absolute clowns who don't watch your back and get into unecessary fights.

    Only won it once was playing with 2 of my mates the day it came out, mate got knocked down so and the guy went in for the kill so it gave me the perfect oppourtunity to pop up and win the match.

    Gotten down to 3 a few times, always seems to be just you against a sqaud of 2 so unless you have a rocket launcher yer fairly *.

    The building is great man, get some resources and as the circle gets smaller get some high ground and fortify around you and build a sniping platform, easy to pick people off!

    I usually jump out the bus last to get away from the large crowds, it's best to avoid firefights untill it's down too the last few.

    Does chat work in the squads?

    Every time I'm in a random squad no * talks.

    Got down to like the last 10 there and stupidly killed someone then went to pick up their * and accidentally dropped my medkit then in the hassle of trying to pick up my medkit again some * blasted me

    Duno if you have to add them in as a party on the psn menu or not, might be an chat invite system in the options

    * snappin i just came 2nd, such a good opportunity i snook around and saw the * crouched behind a rock, should of used my grenade launcher but wasn't sure id hit him so went with the rifle, he had 100% armor and health so wasnt enough and he got me.

    Love how * tense it gets:giggle1:

    DoNaL-CtN if anyone wants a game on ps4 at some point, going out now though.

    Watching a twitch streamer playing this it actually looks pretty good. Might give it a download.

    I like the look of the crafting and building yourself ramps and cover on the fly.

    I'll get involved if you's are playing on ps4 lads, have it downloaded and want to give it a go. Is it hard to pick up?
