Another difference is that in Hunger Games and Battle Royale it's young people who are made to fight to the death, in Squid Game the contestants are adults of all ages, including an old man who ends up pretty important to the plot. That alone makes it pretty original.

Exactly, they aren't forced, except by their own desperation for money, which is essentially how coercion works in "free" capitalist societies (in contrast to the direct coercion in places like North Korea - interestingly enough, one of the characters is an escaped North Korean). You aren't forced to do anything, it's just that if you don't comply and don't work at that exploitative job, you won't have money to live.
