Top 5 Battle Royale Games to Play During Lockdown

Battle Royale games are all the rage everywhere you look.
Something about the concept just gets everyone licking their lips.
Some like the ensuing chaos of a rain of bullets while others like to
camp in a secluded spot until most are buried in the ground. I play it
to ward off loneliness; what better way to win the battle against
loneliness than to jump into a map with hundreds of others…and
start killing them off one by one? I think home quarantine might be
getting to me.

Battle Royale to Battle your Boredom

Jokes aside, you give battle Royale titles a go once, and you just
keep going back to it. Most of us cannot wait to get our heads on
that first victory. Once you do, though, you go back for even more.
To rank as the winner from a pool of hundreds of players is,
unsurprisingly, quite enticing and addictive.
Most of us are forced to stay indoors as humanity fights the COVID-
19 pandemic. If you haven’t tried your hand at a title from this
genre, now is as good a time as any.

To help you out, we decided to list out our Top 5 Battle Royale
games here. If you have a problem with my list, I will accept a
challenge from you in my favorite BR title. But wait, that won’t work;
I’ll be long dead before you ever find me on the map.

5. Cuisine Royale
Most games in this list are serious and carefully cultured to make a
strategic BR game. Cuisine Royale is all about fun. If you’re looking
for some BR action but also pure fun and chaos, look no further.
In most BR games there is an introductory phase where players
jump out of airplanes or something to that effect. you make plans
with your squad as to where you want to land on the map, where
you’ll find the best loot and all such gameplans. In Cuisine Royale,
you simply spawn on the ground, and all hell breaks loose instantly.

You can use common household items to your advantage(and

disadvantage) too. Hold a lit cigar in your mouth to give yourself a
bit of extra health, but beware the smoke will give away your
position to your enemies. Grab a frying pan that deflects bullets, and
use it to swat players’ heads too.

It’s a riot all right, and the best thing is, you don’t have to wait
around for long to get started on a game. 30 players are enough for
a game to kick-start too.

4. Fortnite Battle Royale

Fortnite Battle Royale did not take long to become a modern-day
icon. It blurred the lines between gaming and mainstream
entertainment. If PUBG was the pioneer of the BR genre, Fortnite
took it to unprecedented heights. If this list’s primary metric was
popularity, Fortnite would easily sit right on top.
It took the fundamentals of PUBG and made some quirky and
innovative additions that simply catapulted it beyond even its
inspiration.
Featuring building mechanics, players can gather resources from the
surrounding environment to allow them to build structures. You can
build these structures to give yourself some protection, help your
fallen comrades to recover, gain a vantage point, or simply just build
for the fun of it! Not without its share of issues in recent times, Epic
Games has faced the ire of many of its fans.
however, it has also made some grand strides in the community to
keep itself very much relevant in this fast-paced world.
Just take a look at the recently concluded virtual concert by Travis
Scott ‘Astronomical.’
3. Apex Legends
Respawn Entertainment, the developers who brought us Titanfall,
dropped a huge surprise on everyone when they launched Apex
Legends in 2019. A free Battle Royale title, it took a different route
than most other previous games in the genre. AL features a band of
“Legends” with predetermined abilities that allow you to mix and
match strengths with your other two squadmates(also features
duos). Some really interesting abilities and characters hold your
interest and determination.
Respawn keeps things fresh with the seasonal formula, bringing in
new content with every passing season. With new legends, content,
cosmetics, background stories, Apex Legends certainly keeps you
interested.

Try it out, it is free to play and certainly worth your time.

2. Call of Duty Warzone

The most recent mainstream entry into the genre, Warzone was an
instant and massive hit. It garnered over 50 million players within
the first month of release. Other than the dedicated and loyal CoD
fans, it also attracted many others because of what it offered- an
arcade-style FPS Battle Royale.
The massive map and 150 player battleground make for a chaotic
warzone indeed. Managing a win is an absolute dream every player
is chasing, and it does not come easy at all. Infinity Ward’s maiden
venture into the genre also has some unique features like Gulag and
Bounty Contracts that simply add to the fun.
It will be a task to play the game if you don’t already have CoD
Modern Warfare since it will require up to 100 GB of HDD without
the parent game. However, it is definitely worth it. You jump into the
warzone, and you’ll be hooked before you know it.

the developers have struggled to keep with the demands and

expectations of its users at times, but one thing is for sure- they’re
listening and are determined to do what they can to make the
experience enjoyable. Sadly, for unskilled novices like me, hackers
are a huge problem; and there’s no shortage of those in Warzone.

1. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, or simply PUBG, has to figure on
the top spot when you’re listing out the Top 5 Battle Royale games.
A game that relies more on a more realistic nature and mechanics
than most others, it compels squads to strategize and survive until
the end. If you do, you get the chicken dinner, and who doesn’t want
that?

Unfortunately, an overwhelming influx of hackers and issues has

taken away from the brilliance of the title. Developers have been lax
in recent times too.

Admittedly, it is no longer the joy-fest it was a while back, but it still

remains the most influential title in the genre. Despite some of its
very glaring issues, it still ranks as one of the most popular BR titles
too.

But numbers aside, PUBG influenced an entire industry of Battle

Royale games even though it was not really the first Battle Royale
game. You could say it was the pioneer in what is today a billion-
dollar industry.

So there you go, our list of Top 5 battle Royale titles for you to enjoy
during your stay at home. No doubt we have missed titles that rank
among your favorites, but the sheer number of titles under this
genre makes it impossible to cater to everyone. It doesn’t mean we
won’t love to hear from you and reconsider. Make a compelling
enough argument and my editors will probably raise their eyebrows
at me.

Until then, I’ll be knee-deep in a warzone, striving towards that

elusive maiden victory.
