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

All the given tips will transform an aspiring novice to an elite level player in PUBG . Without practice though, they are simply obsolete tips. So be sure to practice and master these tips and you will be on the path to elite level play before l

The utility behind this maneuver is extremely practical and can be an excellent feather in a player's cap. This technique can allow for quick vehicular dismounts from otherwise lethal situations or it can be an extremely potent diversion tactic. Either way, this is a maneuver that should be practiced and implemented into any aspiring player's reperto

File this one under "could have been multiplayer game of the year just a few years ago." Ubisoft's For Honor takes multiplayer combat to the extreme, featuring one of the most nuanced and complicated battle systems in the genre, coupled with an eye for historical accuracy that rivals even the Assassin's Creed series. For Honor 's single-player campaign is worth mentioning as well, as it houses some of the best writing and level design in the multiplayer genre and should be a blueprint for those who come after it in 2

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

Warner Bros. Interactive was perhaps feeling a little relieved that EA caught the most flack for loot boxes in 2017. After all, Middle-Earth: Shadow of War was also rife with loot boxes and subpar microtransactions, and although the game certainly was criticized for it, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 was the title that represented the business model in the eyes of m

Given the many titles that could have been compelling additions to our Best Multiplayer Games of 2017 list, it should come as no surprise that we believe this may have been the best year in multiplayer gaming since the release of Halo: Combat Evolved . Did we miss any that you would've placed here? Any games you think might surpass the ones on this list in 2018? Let us know in the comments be

Counter-Strike is synonymous with highly competitive, close quarters gunfights between two small opposing teams, a fact that is well showcased by this attempt to break it out of the mold. Beyond how incredibly awkward the whole thing feels, it's also limited to a scant eighteen players per ma

Some of the publisher's releases towards the end of the year didn't quite live up to scratch, either. The Quiet Man was one of the surprises of E3, but the final game was abysmal , while Just Cause 4 proved to be more of the same. At least Octopath Traveler lived up to the h

Houser would attempt to clarify the situation by explaining that he was specifically talking about the senior team, and that across Rockstar such overtime was optional, but the community was still a little skeptical. This was especially true after an anonymous insider revealed that strenuous overtime at Rockstar was not optional , and more eyes will be on Rockstar going forw

Fortnite has a smaller map, which should make it more intense. However, that honor goes to PUBG , whose maps are nearly twice as large as Fortnite’s. As a result, matches in PUBG last longer than the ones in Fortnite . But that doesn’t mean they are boring. PUBG gives players tools to hide, so it’s not uncommon for a player to traverse slowly only to get taken out by a sniper or try to get across the map faster by driving an attention-drawing J

The issue stems from the fact that Bluehole has by-and-large done nothing to quell complaints of Chinese-based hackers invading North American and European servers. While the lag introduced by linking players across such a great distance would be enough to make the average match borderline intolerable, this major influx of dishonest players has tarnished the game’s playability in the eyes of most f

Destiny 2 's launch saw the game praised for mitigating some of the shortcomings of its predecessor, and few console games on mobile this year did a better job of uniting communities—either in praise or in criticism—than the second run 'round the galaxy for Guardians. With more content scheduled for 2018 and a reworked game system that has made Destiny 2 even more accessible , there's cause for optimism from Ghosts and Guardians alike headed into the new y

All of this has been a serious problem for Bethesda. The publisher has had to issue an apology for the state of Fallout 76 and its communication , but that's unlikely to be enough to make fans forget any time soon. In the meantime, there's the rumblings of a class action lawsuit that the company will have to contend w

Crouch-Jumping is an advanced maneuver that allows players to maneuver through tight spaces rapidly and smoothly. This is performed by jumping into or onto windows or fences and then crouching in order to avoid the vaulting animation, to quickly get through the given sp
