I have never thought about it like that. I don't like Battle Royale games, but when I jump on a game with quick and infinite respawns I do get bored pretty quickly.

I really enjoy The Finals. And ticks all the boxes I think of, great guns, mobility, destruction and small teams with clear objectives. But in Cashout(or ranked) you have limited respawn coins, or if team wiped a fairly long respawn timer. Paired with revives from teammates.

It is nice to pin point something else to consider when looking at other games.
