Besides being my favourite game ever, The Culling was the first truly successfull battle royale. It is worthy of being playable despite the issues the game had because of their developers.
There are so many moments in this game worth remembering for the rest of my life: the first time you win a match, the first time you kill someone with a Man Tracker to the dome, the first time you kill Rainshifter and listen to him scream and rage and call you bad. All of these were amazing; and they never stopped being satisfying no matter how many times it happens.
This is a unique, beloved, and DIRECT game that deserves to see the light of day; I implore you if you see this, and you haven't voted, choose to resurrect the Culling. I'll see you out in the jungle! (but you won't see me...)
the best battle royale imo, perfect perk system perfect balancing, only melee focused br genuinely 10/10 raaaaaagh bring it back raaaaaagh watch any gameplay and u know its 10/10 the mechanics were so smooth i hate xaviant for changing the game 8 times then killing it how did they consistently make the wrong decision every single time truly blows my mind!!!!!!!!!
I remember saving up money doing surveys online for hours just to play with my friends on Xbox. After finally getting the game I was super frustrated at the difficulty and was mad at my friends for making me buy it. I eventually grinded and fell in love with the game and my first win brought so much excitement I had to leave my friend a voice message on Xbox. I still listen to it every now and again, it's a great memory. Along with many long nights playing the game and trying to get wins with my friend. I would love the opportunity to do it again someday, I hope we can bring it back.
The Culling wasn’t just a game—it was an experience. A raw, pulse-pounding battle for survival where every fight felt personal, every victory hard-earned. It was brutal, it was intense, and for those of us who played, it was unforgettable. But now, it’s gone. Torn apart by bad decisions, abandoned by its creators, and left to rot in gaming’s graveyard.
And worst of all? Michael McMain is missing.
Where is he? The man who gave us The Culling—the first true battle royale, the game that set the stage for an entire genre—has vanished. We don’t know where he went, but we do know one thing: we need him back. We need him to fix this, to bring it home, to undo the mistakes that buried a masterpiece.
Michael, if you’re out there, hear us. The Culling deserves another chance. We deserve another chance. Bring it back.
There is no game, let alone a game in the Battle Royale genre, with combat and gameplay systems as fluid and adrenaline-inducing as this game had, yet the developers saw absolutely no problem tearing all of that down in the hopes of keeping up with 2016-2018 era battle royales. I love this game with all of my heart, but it pains me that it's entirely unplayable.
I don't know if releasing this game on GOG will fix any of its problems, but I can live in hope.
Xaviant, if you ever read this, fix up the game's bugs, give us an option to disable bots in matches and let what little dedicated community there still is keep your game alive.
(There really is a dedicated community, I promise. It's not much, but it's there.)
This is an amazing game with huge potential. There are streamers like Anthony Kongphan that will play this day in and day out. Bring it back! There is nothing like it on the market. Keep it raw like the original game and map.
I don't care much about The Culling since it's just a silly battle royale game with cool melee mechanics, but I just want others to experience the game, it has issues, yes, but does that ruin the gameplay experience? No, not really, infact, it makes it better because you don't know what to expect

Grand Theft Auto AdvanceGrand Theft Auto Advance is a handheld console game developed by Digital Eclipse, published by Rockstar Games, and released on October 26, 2004 for the Game Boy Advance. It is the only Grand Theft Auto game to not be developed by a Rockstar studio (formerly DMA Design).
The game is played from a top-down perspective; this view angle was seen on the first two games in the series, Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 2, but vehicle-based side-missions (such as "Vigilante" and "Paramedic"), the heads-up display and a large majority of the weapons, first introduced in the three-dimensional counterparts, have also been included. Unlike previous top-down Grand Theft Auto games, vehicles can now flip over. It is the first game from the Grand Theft Auto series which got a 16+ rating from PEGI and an M rating (recommended for mature audiences though any age is still allowed access) from the Australian Classification Board. The game was released on the same day as the North American release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.Open world Action Sandbox
