The Cycle: Frontier preview – Fortnite via Hunt: Showdown and Destiny 2

The Cycle: Frontier feels like a game that’s been dropkicked through Google Trends, with its Fortnite aesthetic and Hunt: Showdown stakes. Survival, crafting, an evolving story that’s teased via environmental cues… You know the drill by now. But despite it all being more than a little derivative, its particular combination of influences works, and I can see it carving out its own dedicated audience among the battle royale and survival games elite.
