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

Fortnite on the other hand reeks of personality, so much so that they were even able to thread a story through all of it's themes. Despite not having reality breaking graphics, it's still just such a fun game to look at and play, and that's a testament to the st

PUBG has massive maps, so vehicles are often necessary to cross the map faster. This would be good enough with one or two types of vehicle, but PUBG has several. The vehicles range from vans to motorbikes and even buggies. They are also realistic, in stark contrast to the vehicles in Fortnite —like the shopping cart, golf cart and hamster b

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

**PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** quickly changed the game industry substantially after releasing in early access in March 2017. It took all the learnings (and namesake) of Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene's previous works - where he crafted battle royale modes within ARMA 2's DayZ mod and consulted on Sony Online Entertainment's H1Z1 - and brought forth the large-scale and gritty battle royale experience together with Korean developer Bluehole, Inc. for which Greene serves as Creative Direc

PUBG is also rich with various weapons that make each match a joy. This can be something huge like a sniper rifle, or even something simple like a frying pan—which apparently one-hit-kills opponents. However gamers prefer to play, the loot in PUBG allows them to play how they l

It would be challenging to mention Call of Duty: Mobile without noting its console-based cousin, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout. Whether you prefer the mobile version or the other, both games are exceptional in their own ri

Even if we compare the OG maps from these two games it's a bit of a toss up as to which is the winner. Sure Fortnite has Tilted Towers, but PUBG has School; and in case you don't play the latter, Virtual camaraderie School is a place where half of the lobby's players drop resulting in a massacre that leaves only one or two survivors who are barely clinging to life. But that's just the OG maps, PUBG now has four unique maps, all of which are just as good as the original in their own rights. Fortnite is finally making an alteration to it's original map, so there's not much competition h

There isn’t much to say about AWM except it has by far the highest damage in the game. A single headshot from AWM is capable enough to knock out a player with level 3 Helmet. The gun is incredible in every possible way and is air-drop exclusive, rightfully so. AWM deals maximum damage up to the range of 150 meters after which, its damage starts to fall till the range of 679 met

Fortnite might have flashier loot, but looting in PUBG is more complicated. Players encounter a wide variety of loot that they can use to customize their weapons however they wish. So, if they feel they need faster aiming or better recoil, they can easily get this with the right l

As fun as both games are, there is one fundamental difference between them: PUBG cares a lot about realism while Fortnite doesn’t pay much attention to it. In PUBG , the outfits are grounded, the weapons are realistic, and the physics try their best to feel real. Fortnite , however, lets players build walls out of thin air then demolish them with a pickaxe. The characters are excessively colorful, the weapons are sometimes silly—and pretty colorful too—and the developers didn’t pay too much attention to phys

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 also adds new skins and dance moves constantly, so there is always something to entice players to go back to the game. The seasons also wrap up pretty fast compared to other esports games, and each new season brings its own challenges and features. In short, Fortnite is a game that is always evolving and getting bet

Late to the game but certainly well worth the wait is Electronic Arts' Apex Legends . Apex Legends released in early 2019, a few years after PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It utilizes character classes called 'Legends.' Each Legend is either offensive, defensive, support, or recon and plays a vital role in the success of a t
