Ranked: The 5 Best Battle Royale Games (& 5 Worst)

You know, I think there's a time and a place for all things. I think TV and movies... When the sun goes down, and because of daylight savings it gets dark early, we've got time inside the house. So then it's like, okay, let's go on Apple TV and pick a movie, and all of the family sits down and watch that. But let's not sit in front of the television and watch, you know, brainlessly until we fall asleep or enter a vegetative state! (Laughs) So we try to find other forms of entertainment. We also play a lot of board games as a family, we play a lot of... One of the big games we play, especially during breakfast and dinner, we try to all sit around the table together and play the animal guessing g

In addition to its hero-shooter elements, Apex brought a lot of new tricks that were quickly emulated by its competitors, namely Fortnite . If Fortnite has seen fit to take notes, well, it should be clear that Apex is doing it ri

To be perfectly clear, Nuclear Winter is a great thing in the context of Fallout 76 . It manages to breathe a little bit of life into a title that most gamers had given up for dead after its perfectly disastrous launch, and it's fun in its own, incredibly strange, signature Bethesda brand of utter lun

One of the biggest competitive battle royale experiences available, PUBG _ _p rovides a more realistic approach to the genre providing a brutally accurate simulation of a first-person shooter. Being one of The Bird That Drinks Tears Video Game first entries into the ever-growing genre , PUBG has amassed a die-hard fan base that vouches for the technically sound shooter. With a constant stream of new content, there has never been a better time to get into the acclaimed game like now. One of the biggest aspects of learning and mastering the battle royale giant is to understand each weapon in the game and how it functions, alongside its intricacies. The first and most common, weapon to learn about is the versatile assault ri

The vehicles in PUBG are as essential to the game as players running through the fields swinging frying pans and getting sniped by Shroud. Let's see what we have here -- Minivans full of squads slamming into buildings and going up in flames, motorcyclists flipping through the skies only to get their best friend killed as they run into a tree -- ah, the list goes on. It's all so much good fun, and while Fortnite does have some great vehicles as of today, they're mostly meant for playing around with. They just aren't the craziness that can be found with the vehicles in P

There are so many corporations that are unregulated and they're just destroying the environment, literally as we speak, and they're making so much money. How do you fight something like that? How do you change their minds? How do we reverse this self-destruct course that humanity is

We didn't even get this as much as we wanted in the last entry, but Fortnite is fast. Good luck trying to get your dad into the game because if you're not on your P's and Q's you're going to get pwned by some 8-year-old wearing a snap-back sideways within minutes of dropping off the battle bus. PUBG however, is more in line with the game play of a classic shooter. It's slow, almost empty at times and getting kills in it usually requires a much more patient, methodical approach. Sure the best players can run-n-gun like it's nobodies business, but if you play the game slow you have a good chance of making it

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 top, a significant number of gamers in China don’t share those same qua

Radical Heights is offline as of the writing of this article, so that should go a long way towards to explaining why it rates as the absolute worst. This '80s nostalgia-themed spin saw some initial promise when it released into early access on Steam, with gamers charmed by its neon-retro aesthetic and gimmicky game show presentat

Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, better known as PUBG, are the two biggest battle royales to date. As of March 2019, the most recent data, Fortnite has a registered player count of 250 million users, blowing PUBG on PC's player count of 500,000 users out of the wa

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.
