PUBG: Blindspot may be a shameless Rainbow Six Siege clone, but that doesn't stop it being extremely fun
Ian Higton takes a look at PUBG: Blindspot, a new, top down, tactical shooter spin-off that liberally lifts its gameplay from Rainbow Six Siege.
Watch on YouTube One of the most interesting things about Blindspot is how its developer, Arc Team, has managed to bring the speed and accuracy of a first- or third-person shooter to a visual style that's more suited to slow-paced, squad-focused, turn-based, tactical sims. It's a mode that really rewards planning and teamwork, and I wouldn't be surprised if it became the popular pick due to the fact that it can still deliver the same heart-in-your-mouth intensity as a round of Siege, all while feeling much more accessible to newcomers and casuals thanks to its isometric visuals. There might not be that much classic PUBG in there but it has all the tension and suspense that you'd want from a great Rainbow Six style game, which might feel like a nice change to Battlegrounds fans who are a bit burnt out after eight long years of nothing but battle royale.
