I hate battle royale games. Every time I play them i get anxious and nervous, I cant take it anymore

I have played Apex Legends since it came out and I have about 900h between both steam and origin (mostly played during covid).

Since I stopped playing this rage games I feel much better

Tell me what you think of battle royale games in the comments if you want

I think BRs are fine, I'm just glad that the market has moved away from the BR mania that it was once in. BRs intrinsically need a large player base to succeed and it was exhausting hearing about this "sick new BR" only for it to shut down 6-8 months later

I am curious to see if the BR trend now repeats itself with the extraction genre. I think COD and Battlefield already adapted the mode but I do not know how that went and whether they are still going, but now the first wave of larger standalone "Tarkov-likes" is coming in so maybe there is a new hype forming.

What games are you talking about?

Only ones I can think of would be firestorm and that shitty Ubisoft one, but I don't think those had that much hype tbh

Realm Royale, Battlerite Royale, Ring of Elysium, Islands of Nyne, there's been a ton that have launched and either lost critical mass or been shut down.

Really enjoyed RoE

I've played it a bit this year. It's still decent, but just a bucketload of bots, and some new performance issues like ultra-slow-loading and massive pop-in when you initially load into the map (gameplay impacting).

Spellbreak, Realm Royale (although it looks like that one got revived), that one BR that was game show themed, there's plenty more that came and went that i just don't remember the name of
