    Decent game, not playing it for too long.
    Not really like battle royals.
    But pretty good game, just a sad community and kinda overrated

    It's really annoying trying to play this on Pc than Ps4 and the Switch because there's like 30 keys and have to use like 20. Really hard to hit the buttons from one side to the other and I don't want to spend like 20 minutes in the settings.

    Fortnite is a good old school shooter( the feel and dynamics of the guns is less modern) it also has a fresh minecraftey build mode which can take some skill and time to master. To dismiss it as a child's game is beyond missing the point - its a good 3ps in it's own right with some nice extra dynamics – but please dont judge it as a good game - there are some other aspects that cannotFortnite is a good old school shooter( the feel and dynamics of the guns is less modern) it also has a fresh minecraftey build mode which can take some skill and time to master. To dismiss it as a child's game is beyond missing the point - its a good 3ps in it's own right with some nice extra dynamics – but please dont judge it as a good game - there are some other aspects that cannot be passed by with this game. It could be a 7/10 easily – maybe 8 - , but it has numerous nuances...

    Why is this then? :

    On one side, Fortnite is easy to play at -least initially (as an 3ps is)-and is worth while and fun with tense gun play/combat. The map is good and content comes in droves. On the other side, it will take time to master, especially in regard to building in combat. Combat is tense and fast paced - it's good and I think it's reasonably balanced MOST OF THE TIME.

    However, I don't believe some of the guns ARE balanced particularly well – unfortunately this applies to all the new gear...

    It does have it's own look, but some of the standard 'free-to-play' skins are UGLY. The general look of it is good, but you can tell it is getting old.

    On the other hand, I don't like alot of the design of the game, especially the UI design, as well as the feel of the controls - often they jitter into other commands and behaviours and it is very sloppy or it just plain obstructs the player.

    The word for much of the game quality is SLOPPY . It does works OK as a game though - mostly. I find this is inexcusable given this is a popular game developed by a company that is one of the god-fathers to the genre of FPS - though I don't think they can't afford it and are not capable... there are other reasons - learn who they are...

    For a start consider this : I also don't like that it forces you to see tonnes of rubbish that some people have paid for, and EPIC - W O N T - give you access to most of it unless you are on battle pass i.e. giving money PER season - YET they make you watch how many 'Battlestars' you've collected at the end of each match (which is ONLY spendable WITH Battlepass) - which is effectively a slap in the face. So as far as I am concerned, if you are playing this 'free to play' game without giving them money, then they are going to punish you.

    Bare this in mind when you can't change your own skin, it will choose one for you(when not on battlepass) and some of those standard skins are ugly.

    The missions thing generally means you need to spend alot of effort to go to places, which often is contrary to: A, survival and B, what your team mates will want.

    So I would conclude you need to play the game to complete missions seperately rather than to competing at the same time - which is just a gotcha to most of us who already have other commitments. However Missions are an avenue to get skins and cosmetics incase you cant buy battlepass ( and have time to spend and kill).    … Expand

    Prior to the establishment of buildless-mode, the game was a mish-mash or noobs, mid and hardcore players, with running into a hardcore player always resulting in death. That being said, if you've the friends to play it mindlessly on the background while chatting, its actually a fairly-decent third person shooter battle royale.

    not too bad right now but the quality is all over the place depending on the season/chapter, but not gonna lie the game has basically just turned into a giant crossover game which can really give people mixed feelings on the thing, personally I used to hate it but I don't mind it now, It's fun and usually the characters they add would canonically use guns.

    And, of course. Loot boxes. Goddamn loot boxes.

    If there weren’t custom games being made by the community, this would’ve been significantly bumped down to a 3, or a 2. But, A for effort, I guess.

    I don’t recommend this game, but that’s just my opinion. Play this game, if you really want to.    … Expand

    Chapter 4 is pretty good, but I feel like it's missing the charm it used to have. The new graphics are a mix of CH1 and CH2, which I actually sort of like. I do think that the GUI could be better and less populated with other gamemodes. I wish they would bring back some locations though, that would be awesome.

    Fortnite is a fun game, ruined by it's terrible optimization and marketing. First off, almost every season in chapter 2 was **** always held by some type of collaboration with a show or movie the community has never watched. Secondly, the optimization is pretty bad.

    The rating is definitely higher than before due to the addition of a no-building mode. Epic knows how to make skins and dances for your production, which makes it hard not to buy them, but then you get into the game and ask yourself why you did it.

    Played the battle royal game mode when it released back in 2017 on my ps4, the game has definitely changed a lot since back then and not always in a good way.

The game introduced new building methods for controller like builder pro and made editing easier with confirm edit on release. I started playing this game competitively back in 2019 when I got a pc with a high refresh rate monitor. Around the same time my friends who weren't so keen about the game and just played casually on console started quitting and moving on to other things, I don't blame them. 2019-ish was when people started getting really good at the game and more and more people took competitive gaming seriously. This massive skill gap made casual players not want to play as expected so epic made some really **** decisions to balance this skill gap such as mechs which were really over powered robots that anyone could use not matter how bad they were to kill even the best of the best. Anyways I give this game a solid 7 because it was a fundamental game that shaped e-sports and battle royal games. The state of the game today is confusing because, even though I believe its in of of its best states in recent months I still don't think its worth it for casuals to play it. As it currently stands Fortnite is an esports title and I still have some fun playing it because of that. And I completely understand, not everyone has the money to buy a gaming pc with a 240hz monitor, a good controller/keyboard and mouse or time to play this game hours and hours a day.) Well, that is my review for Fortnite and its current state.… Expand

    Aspectos rescatables: tras el comienzo del nuevo capitulo estuve con mucha ilusión de nuevas mecánicas y Fortnite no decepcionó en ese aspecto con una nueva mecánica que permite deslizarse en pendientes para aumentar la velocidad, el sonido de los rifles de francotirador es muy bueno y la verdad me encanta, aspecto grafico bien optimizado para mi pc y buen soporte para las pc de bajos requisitos, no me presenta ningún crasheo (sincronización vertical excelente), realismo balístico decente, iluminación y sonido (radio de automóviles muy buena).
    Conclusión: Buen Battle Royal para jugar con amigos y pasar un buen rato, que puede ser sustituible si no se pone pilas fortnite y agrega cosas buenas.

    Fortnite is an ever-shifting entity, but strong footing has solidified it as a verified phenomenon with fast, fun gameplay and ubiquitous reach. Anyone can play it and have a great time, and although Save the World might get grindy and shotgun climb-and-dives might get a little tiresome, there’s real magic here along with the promise of more in the months and years to come.
