Cheat players
Fantastic enjoyment although frustrating at times
A solid early access game that has ultimately spawned a number of competitors in the genre.

Whilst this game is by no means the inventor of battle royale style games it has delivered a fun and compelling game that has proven extremely popular.


Having only recently come out of early access the game has just realeased a second map both of which are large with open areas, hill ranges, towns, schools, prisons and more that contain a wide variety of weapons and equipment to arm yourself with.


The game is certainly challenging to win but is top fun win or lose.


The biggest issues with this game currently are the FPS drops and lagging which can be extremely frustrating. The game also suffers with random bugs which sometimes can be funny and other times cause you to die which can also be incredibly irritating. There is also issues with hackers on the game with the developer already banning a considerable number of accounts.


All in all this is a great game that should only get better as the developers continue working on it to improve it and add additional content.

A Soldier's Sketchbook: The Illustrated First World War Diary of R.H. Rabjohn by John Wilson is a fascinating glimpse into the actual sketchbook/diary of a soldier who served in World War I. It follows Russell Rabjohn from 1916 to 1919 during his time in World War I. Russell was a trained artist, so his superiors directed him to make technical drawings and maps. Constantly having pen and paper available enabled Russell to freely sketch his experiences on the frontlines. The drawings are a unique peek into the past.

The selected diary entries are interspersed with clearly marked context. The black-and-white pencil drawings are impressive and the sketches that show the horrors of war are respectfully rendered. What impacted me most in the beginning was the innocence of the young man from Toronto going out into the world for the first time.

I appreciated this chance to get to know a little more about World War I from the life of a Canadian soldier. It was a pleasure to get to know Private Rabjohn. I am grateful to him for his commitment to documentation. Historian and author John Wilson did a great job providing context and compiling the information into an engaging and beautifully formatted book. This book can be appreciated by older children and adults.

I received an advanced readers copy from Penguin Random House Canada and Tundra Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
