Fortnite Vs. PUBG - Which Game Is Better?

8. Map Quality/Density & Variety Of Biomes

Up until recently, both games were locked to a specific map - Fortnite's nameless expanse of greenery, peppered with the occasional township, dockyard or smattering of houses, and PUBG's Erangel, an eastern European warzone that feels like a Google Map screen grab brought to life.

In 2018, Epic saw fit to bolster Fortnite's offering with additional details - though they were "plugged in" to the existing map. Things like a towering cityscape goes some way into innovating genre-wise by forcing players into applying tactics to a vertical plane, but it's nothing on PUBG's Miramar: A sprawling, mostly open-air desert that rewards slow-crawl gameplay, sniper rifles and relentless usage of cover.

Biome-wise, Fortnite will see you go from forests to industrial factories, cities to underground mines - but there's not enough of it. No individual section of the map feels especially well thought out - not in the sense of how a multiplayer team would design an online play-space, anyway.

PUBG certainly has the same issue to some degree, but simply because its gameplay is more precise, contemplative and methodical, the majority of buildings interspersed with the occasional standout location (like either map's schools or the Hacienda del Patron) feel like they compliment gameplay, rather than restrict it.

Fortnite's biome assortment is more varied across a smaller space, but it falls short of anything close to "good level design".
