10 Most Addictive Video Games Of 2017 (So Far)

10. Fortnite: Battle Royale

Being the only battle royale experience currently available on consoles, Fortnite's free-to-play side mode took off when it released earlier in 2017. Amassing a huge player base seemingly overnight, it took less than a couple of weeks for the game to hit 10 million users.

It's easy to see why, too. Dropping 100 players into an open world with nothing but an axe to their name and letting them duke it out until only one remains, Battle Royale's central premise was different enough to attract console multiplayer gamers looking for a unique experience.

It helped that Fornite's core combat was pretty good as well, being surprisingly weighty and impactful despite the cartoon aesthetic. Barebones at the moment though, the developers have constantly been tweaking the experience, letting players know that this already decent game can only improve going forward.

Consequently, despite lacking the content found in other battle royale games, Fortnite has provided players with a prosperous foundation that will be built upon in the months to come.
