But which ones are actually worth your time? With such a remarkably lengthy catalog of battle royale titles looking to cash in on the fad, the sheer number of options can be just a little overwhelming. Just dive into the list below to see the top five battle royale games that are definitely worth checking out (if you haven't already), alongside five that should be avoided at all co
After severe backlash over The Culling 2 and its following closure, developer Xavient would attempt to reboot The Culling as The Culling: Origins , billing it as a free to play title in 2018. By then, the market had been taken over by immensely popular titles such as Fortnite and PUBG , and it would announce its impending cancellation in March of 2
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may be one of the most dominant multiplayer releases of the past few years, but its shortcomings have come to eclipse the title’s once-sterling reputation. While the community circa March 2017 was optimistic and largely agreed that the game had quite a lot of potential, things seem on the verge of unraveling just two years later. When news came in late September last year that developer Bluehole would be axing the option to switch regions and gating certain players’ access to servers depending on ping, PUBG fans rejoiced. However, nearly six months have gone by since these features were implemented in Update 22, and the game’s multiplayer functionalities are still in a state of ch
Over the past few months in particular, the word banned has become common in gaming headlines. While many bans are related to content creators, game companies and even governments have also jumped on the banning bandwa
This initial charm wore thin quick on the obviously unfinished product, with the player base tanking by a hurtful 80% within two weeks. Developer Boss Key Productions would shutter a mere month later, setting the game adrift. Another studio has claimed the rights to the title, but for now, Radical Heights is totally d
Every new update to PUBG comes with a slew of patch notes, gameplay fixes, and minute changes to the way weapon damage, item handling, and other invisible game mechanics are handled. While there are already many guides on the best weapons in PUBG's Season 7 , what follows below is a detailed explanation of some of the best locations in PUBG's updated version of Vikendi for dropping into, be it for loot or for tactical advant
However, that's also precisely why Firestorm doesn't climb higher on the list. While it fits into the Battlefield series perfectly, it fails to really push the envelope in terms of gameplay. There's not a whole lot Firestorm does that other battle royale games aren't doing, outside of providing much more fulfilling vehicular gameplay than most of t
The new and improved Dinoland is a much, much more interesting version of the original Vikendi's Dino Park, and it has only become a hotter destination now that it looks less like a reject from Fallout New Vegas' Novac and more like a miniature version of Jurassic Park . Featuring a large greenhouse, a food court, an archaeological museum, and multiple areas players can use to climb either up or down to get an advantage on their opponents, Vikendi's new Dinoland area is perfect for dropping into and exploring, but don't expect to find the best loot th
A Chinese redditor recently posted an attempt at explaining the culture surrounding gaming in their home country, and they seem to suggest that, for many of their peers, the ends justify the means when it comes to online gaming. While most Western gamers are apt to feel that a victory is meaningless if they cheated their way to The Callisto Protocol top, a significant number of gamers in China don’t share those same qua
In the example above, most of the settings are very low, but the view distance and AA are set to max. That's because both these features are directly related to the overall visibility of objects in the game. Playing on lower settings means better reflexes and quicker response time, both of which are critical for a stable multiplayer experie
Whether it's loved or hated, it can't be said that this record-setting battle royale title doesn't wield an absolutely titanic amount of influence on the industry. With more than a quarter billion players registered as of March 2019, to say Fortnite is still going strong would be a massive understatem
When PUBG was breaking records left and right and boasting player counts that gave Valve’s Dota 2 a run for its money, Bluehole seemed content to rest on their laurels and sporadically introduce updates while refusing to respond to player criticisms. The battle royale boom of early-to-mid 2018 saw them making money hand-over-fist, and a major reason for that was due to their popularity in the Chinese gaming space. As a result, the developer wasn’t all that keen on doing anything to harm an extremely profitable economy despite the fact that it came at the behest of Western play
