Then came the monsters, wave after wave, night after night. Destroying everything in their path. But it's not all doom and gloom. In an abandoned missile silo, we've found one of our first weapons against the Storm you. We're looking for a few good commanders like you to help make a difference, push back the storm and protect those among us who are unable to protect themselves. Explore the world. Rescue survivors. Make hundreds of guns, swords, and things that go boom. Make impregnable forts. Tastefully decorate with sniper perches, poison gas traps, and jump pads. Take back the world. You know, the usual. And be sure to invite your friends. Welcome to Fortnite.… Expand

    Mastering Fortnite Battle Royale’s many systems is worth every second of investment. Whether you go it alone or queue up with a squad, even if you’re the first to die or you actually manage to earn the Victory Royale, Fortnite’s zany style and unique blend of shooting and building almost never offers anything less than an outstanding time. It may not be the first battle royale game, and it certainly won’t be the last, but Fortnite sets itself apart from the crowd by giving you the freedom and tools to express your own personal playstyle.

    If grinding for loot, shooting zombies, and building the coolest forts ever sounds like it’s up your alley, I can’t recommend Fortnite enough.

    Whether we're talking aesthetics or the accessibility of its gameplay, all is good for Fortnite, which provides a beautiful vision of what Battle Royale should be.

    Fortnite incorporates mechanics of survival, crafting and missions in waves. Everything is very well measured and addictive, but there are no surprises or innovation. The microtransactions come to break the balance, and you'll have to play too many hours to see your character really improve. It's better that you wait for the free-to-play version.

    The ultimate effort of the US home team is to combine the excellent experience of the third-person shooter with foundational elements of some of the most successful works of the last few years, in an effective and convincing manner, at least from the gambling point of view.

    Fortnite wants to cover more than it can. Its three pillars of action, construction and management are too independent. To make matters worse, it feels too focused on opening piñatas (chests) and pay-to-continue.

    Fortnite: Battle Royale is a fast-paced arcade alternative to PUBG, but it fails in the tension department. Its good fun when you play like you don’t only have one life, but that in and of itself makes it feel like an oddity that hasn’t quite found its identity yet.

    Fortnite has established itself as one of the most popular games in the world, offering a unique blend of battle royale gameplay and buildingFortnite has established itself as one of the most popular games in the world, offering a unique blend of battle royale gameplay and building mechanics but most importantly it has ONE of if not THE BEST apple representation in gaming HISTORY. Not only are there apples in the game but a multitude of unique and interesting apple challenges that rotate WEEKLY. Not only that but there are also MULTIPLE apple-themed mini locations that you can find around the map one of them being one of my favorite drop points of all time, The Orchard. This is a HUGE deal and I'm sure I'm, not the only apple lover who is extremely psyched that apple representation is finally being normalized especially by a HUGE corporation. Im both excited and eager to see what comes next.… Expand

I shouldn'tWhat can I say about Fortnite, it is extremely fun... for about a week. (Keep in mind that I am talking about the Battle Royale.) I shouldn't it becomes boring but the game becomes a lot more predictable and somewhat repetive even though it is multi player game. You either die when you land or you make it to the top ten. I still play the game, but it has lost that initial punch that kept me playing the game for hours on ends. If I am to play it now I may only play 2-5 rounds, whereas when I first got the game I would play 15-25 rounds (sounds pathetic, but it was really enjoyable) But seeing that the game is free it is impossible for me to give this game anywhere near a negative review. For the first week it is a 9 or 10 after that i would move it down to a 5 or 6. Its worth the play… Expand

    That's a game you can play with your friends, but in one week you already don't want to play anymore because it's the same thing.
