James Martin of GameGrin previews Fear The Wolves, writing: "I think we can all agree at this point that battle royale has had a massive impact on the gaming industry. Fortnite and PUBG still see many hundred thousand online at any one time, with numbers only slowly dwindling. Not being a huge fan of the cartoony style of Fortnite, and wanting a bit more variety from PUBG, I got quite excited when I heard about Fear The Wolves. A S.T.A.L.K.E.R inspired setting from Vostok Games, with actual wolves hunting you down? Alright then, let’s have a pop."
The battle royale genre has benefitted from an incredible run of form, but there's more than a few games that have died along the way.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games have greatly influenced the Eastern European games that came later. In this, the second of a two-part miniseries exploring these influences, we investigate the gameplay mechanics that make "Stalkerlikes" what they are.
Shaun M Jooste writes: "Fear the Wolves takes you into the heart of irradiated Chernobyl, battling the elements, other players and wolves in Battle Royale mode. The concept of the game is fantastic, but poorly executed."
