PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a phenomenon, and one of the most talked about games of 2017 within and without GameSpot. Those who've taken the plunge into 100-player battle royale matches recount losses and victories with equal passion, because win or lose, the pervasive moment-to-moment tension is what makes PUBG so thrilling. One misstep or indecisive moment is all it takes for another player to end you. And as survivor counts and the boundaries of the playable area shrink, the final moments reach fever pitch as everyone vies for the ever elusive trophy--a hard-earned chicken dinner.
