After playing battle royales for 6+ years, I never thought I'd be hooked as strongly as I was when I first started Naraka. What makes this game unique when comparing to other BR's is the traditional style of melee combat you get when playing. Aside from the combat, Naraka's most gameplay-defining feature is its fast-paced movement, thanks to its plentiful dashes and grappling hooks. I've always been addicted to FPS's, with there being a few exceptions, namely H1Z1 and Fortnite. I feel as if I'm predisposed to favoring FPSs so I was surprised when I became so addicted to one that wasn't. Highly recommend trying this one out. I'm giving naraka a 8.5/10 due to the mega OP bloodrippers weapon that don't always spawn and the late-late game intensity isn't as high when the circle simply closes. Maybe they can try introducing new concepts into the game such as a moving zone, when it gets to a certain size? One thing I hope to see changed is that this BR is $19.99. I believe they need to hop on the free game with micro transactions wave. CoD, Battlefield, Halo, and more have already done this. If anything, you could purchase it and refund within 2 hours of playtime if you dislike it. My second favourite BR, and the highest skill ceiling title within the genre.
