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

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

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.

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.

I think extraction shooters are going to be the new "thing" for the future. I enjoyed my time with Tarkov but it was just a tad too hardcore for me. I'm excited to see what Bungie does with the genre when Marathon comes out
