The runaway success that is the Battle Royale genre continues to dominate 2017 in every respect. Over a million concurrent players are sneaking up on one another as I type this, yet until PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) makes its way to consoles, you can expect the world to remain nonplussed.

Enter Fortnite, Epic Games' other 100 player survivalist deathmatch where you drop out of an overhead vehicle, choose a spot to land, and then scavenge to survive.

Both games create this really unique sensation of almost enacting your 'zombie plan' to survive. What would you try and do to ensure you live for another second? Do you actively engage others or try to hide? Stick to the outskirts and scavenge to get the best gear? Both games feature a constantly-shrinking energy wall that forces players together at regular intervals, ensuring that making it to the top 10, 5, 2 and 1 is one of the most intense experiences in gaming.
