Initially, Spellbreak should seem instantly familiar to anyone who has played a battle royale. So how did Spellbreak, a game whose whole hook is being a fantasy battle royale, become one of my favorite PC game surprises of the year? Ironically, by using the creative potential of the fantasy genre, it breathes new life into the tired battle royale formula. Whether it’s the realism of PUBG or the wackiness of Fortnite, I find games where you compete to be the last one standing more boring than tense.
Game of Thrones? Lord of the Rings? World of Warcraft? Nope, not for me.
