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.

        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

          I can understand that, but for me at least the genre does not really work when it is not “Hardcore” enough. What I mean by that is that I played The Cycle and the game is just not deep enough to justify the effort you need to put in for the extraction loop to work. Games like Dark&Darker would just not work if they were not as finicky and lethal. But I am also very curious what marathon will turn out to be. I was already thinking about playing the old marathon games because the lore seems very cool, but until now they just seemed to old for that.
