The usual wall of electricity/gas/storm that tightens around players to shrink the island's safe zone is here a monumentally large wall which contracts through vast posts slamming down then growing outwards to connect. Silly physics make your character flail their arms as they spin around, cars are weird, powerful guns have such kick that they'll knock you back a few feet, press G and you'll hold guns sideways while beatboxing ('gangsta', yeah? yeah.), and the physics-driven technoguts driving it all cause for all sorts of other silliness.Īt the same time, it does have some interesting ideas. Landfall Games, who you might know for Clustertruck, started this as an April Fool's joke and yup, it shows. But it does have a singleplayer shooting range map to try out guns, shoot scarecrows, and generally lark about.

It doesn't have the squillion players of Fortnite or Plunkbat that let them start rounds in seconds, see. In reality, wait times for a round start are so long that you'll have to wait ages. Collect guns, collect attachments for guns, fire guns, murder death kill.

You must know the basics by now: loads of players are trying to murder each other to stand triumphant at the end, starting by dropping out the skies then looting and shooting across the island as the circle of safe space shrinks. are currently suing Epic Games for supposedly infringing its copyright, but here we are. It's bold to so clearly riff on Battlegrounds, considering developersPUBG Corp. It's also one of the few games containing my three favourite FPS features: mixed-weapon dual wielding seeing your own legs and body when you look down and physics so goofy that you can boost yourself by jumping then firing at the ground. It's janky, wait times for a round are huge, and it won't replace Plunkbat in my heart, but it's free its first few days so hey, you may as well grab it before it costs $5. Take the open-world loot-o-murderhiking of Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, add wacky physics, then sprinkle over a few actually quite good ideas, and you might have something like Totally Accurate Battlegrounds, a game I've been enjoying more than I'd expected.
