    Un juego sobrevalorado que en lugar de aportar empeora la industria el hecho de tener online y personalización no lo hace el mejor juego del mundo pero eso muy poca gente lo entiende

    Personalmente uno de los mejores batlle royal de la historia muy divertido y a todos nos a hecho pasar momentos inolvidables con tus amigos pero si que es verdad que con el tiempo ha ido apareciendo una comunidad muy toxica y al final el juego se hace muy repetitivo. Lo mejor de todo es que es gratis.

    It's a well optimized battle royal game with a twist the twist is that you can build you can even play it on a potato though the map is a bit repetitive

    I want to express my dissatisfaction, because the developers are not interested in changing the gameplay, the developer is only interested in making money. I want to encourage people to underestimate the game, because only in this way can action be taken from the developers about the problems of the game

    Content creators ruin this game and make it suck, toxicity from the community and overwhelming skill gap, no skill based matchmaking in public, no point based matchmaking in arena anymore. Basically just a playable advertisement at this point. Don't play if you like being happy,

    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.

    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.

    I would love to give this game a 10 due to the great memories I had playing this game, especially during the first chapter and when they added the webslingers. However, the game changed too fast for it's own good and it's community became unbearable. Still great to hop back in from time to time, its undeniable that Fortnite seasons 2-5 was peak gaming.

    I very much enjoy the gameplay in this game. I have spent a little bit of money to get a skin that I like and don't feel the need to spend any more than that. All money to spend in this game is for visual elements, no pay to win.

Alot of Cars and trucks to use and other ways to get around, the game is simple yet very fun with a lot of weapons at your disposal your objective is to survive and fight until its a 1v1 between you and another person!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a review for the Save the World mode of Fortnite, because in my opinion it is very hard to actually rate battle royale, due to its ever changing seasons and constant high and low points.

    I want to first start off with the things I liked about this game. The characters were great and well written, the intro cutscene was great at setting the scene, and the overall gameplay loop is pretty fun starting out, and the story is in my opinion very good. That's about all I have to say that is positive about this game. So after that opening cutscene, you are thrown into the first mission of the game, and I instantly noticed something. This game is so unnecessarily LOOOOOONNNGG. There are 3 main story zones in this game, the first zone, Stonewood, each story mission is about 20 minutes long, in the second zone that goes up to around 30 minutes per mission, and in the final zone it goes to around 45. At its core this game is just a zombie Co-Op tower defense, and there is no reason for the missions to be as long as they are. My second main complaint is that if you lose at any point in the game, you get absolutely NOTHING. So say you are playing the game's main tower defense mode, survive 5 of the 6 needed hordes of zombies, and complete a quest where you need to kill 300 zombies with just a shotgun, using tons of in-game resources and spending around 30 minutes on it. If you lose, even at the very end, you get literally zero items and maybe a miniscule amount of exp, and all quests you completed entirely reset, meaning you have to do it all over again. This will happen to you at least a few times, and it is SO demotivating to do over again. My third complaint is how needlessly long the entire game is. In total, there are about 135 mandatory story missions, which took me over 100 hours to "finish", but could definitely be beaten a bit quicker if you have some friends to play co-op with. What makes this even worse is that most of the maps are reused, and there are only a few mission types you are doing over and over that entire time. Speaking of that length, the story and characters are at least interesting. You have a few robot companions who I really liked, as well as a few human characters that leave to do other things throughout the campaign. As for the story itself, an acid storm has taken over the world, turning over 80% of people into different types of zombies called "husks” that try to take down your defenses and ultimately make the storm fully engulf the world. Later on, you learn about a scientist/inventor named Dr. Vinderman who made the previously mentioned robots, and all the storm defenses you came across. Towards the end of the campaign, you discover his house and an AI he recorded some voice lines to. It talks about A possible way to implode the storm from the eye, but it would require someone to go down with it to make sure it goes okay. In one of the final missions of the 100 hour campaign, you fight a boss that resides in the eye of the storm called the Storm King, in what was honestly a very fun fight. After you defeat him, a human character that worked with Dr Vinderman named Desiree sacrifices herself in what was honestly a pretty emotional moment for me. It is then revealed on the second to final mission THAT IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING, AND THAT IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ACTUALLY. The Vinderman Ai then slowly starts to lose power, leaving only your main sidekick robot, Ray. She then looks up and sees a satellite that can save everything for real or something (I honestly stopped paying attention after that **** sacrifice conclusion) And then it ends. You get a cutscene that had no audio for me that was just compiled trailer footage, and you get a lobby music track. That's it. That's all you get for completing this entire game. No conclusive ending, no achievement or special banner, just lobby music that you can just look up on youtube. Shortly after making this "ending" Epic Games announced that they would no longer make updates for save the world. What a **** joke. I bought this game after the update that released the final campaign mission in 2019 for around $40, but nowadays they're just bundling it in for free with certain Battle Royale skins. I wanted to love this game and thought I would, but ended up beyond disappointed. All this game is ever used for now is just grinding the currency known as V-bucks which you can use to buy skins in battle royale. This game is a joke, and you should not play it, even if you get it for free. It's a total waste of time with no definitive conclusion, and ended up being one of if not my least favorite game of all time. **** this game. Do not play it.    … Expand

    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.
