The verdict
Ring of Elysium was a fondly remembered battle royale with snowboards, gliders and a helicopter finale, but the servers were shut down in 2023 and it can't be played. Don't expect to play it.
Great for
Nostalgic fans reminiscing about the 2018 snow-map era; nobody can actually play it now
Main risk
The servers are shut down and the game is delisted, so it cannot be played at all
