There is of course PUBG and other games that have adopted BR style mechanics.

And culturally there are lots of examples of the Survival Thriller/Horror.

1. Battle Royale (Film/Manga)
2. Hunger Games
3. Maze Runner
4. Highlander (Film)
5. Most Zombie Movies/TV
6. The Belko Experiment (Film)
7. Most Apocalyptic/Distopian Films.

To name a few.

Do BR mechanics push for a more Hollywood plot line?

The player is:

• Dropped into a strange version of reality.
• They have to survive and equip themselves for survival.
• They are pushed into a big confrontation to survive, overcome and escape their predicament.

Are there more interesting and diverse versions of the Genre that could be made into a game?
