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 for me, the main frustration is the way those games are structured. You run around for a few minutes and when you finally have decent equipment, someone shoots you out of nowhere and you get kicked out, have to requeue and start over again.

    On the other hand, when I die in Overwatch, Valorant, Counter Strike, Quake, Unreal Tournament (yes, I’m old…) I know that I’ll be back in the action in a few seconds, I didn’t lose much progress and I can still win this.

          They literally stopped developing it to work on Fortnite instead when the battle royale mode started getting popular. Absolutely shameful, especially since they stopped developing what the main Fortnite was supposed to be (Save the World) as well, which a lot of people were looking forward to and paid for

      Check out Isonzo. It’s a WWI trench warfare game that is PvP (some games may have bots). But it’s objective based on offensive and defensive. You respawn really quick. It’s not like arena since it’s generally one shot kills and you’re further away but it’s a lot of fun.

      Well I did have to spend minutes gathering armor or grabbing the wanted weapon sometimes in Quake II CTF or Quake 3. But yeah at least when you die you just respawn, no requeue.

      Have you looked at Hunt Showdown? Extraction royale set in the late 1800s bayou. You choose your gear before the start of the match, and you can extract at any time, with or without bounty tokens (the thing that brings all players to the same spot and earns you ingame cash, with which you buy your gear).
