    Super Addictive Game. Played more than 20 Hours now and its a fantastic loot, craft, build, zombie and shooting Game. If you have some friends grab them and give Fortnite a try. Much worth the 40 bucks.

    Fortnite is a fun and addicting game. Building brings innovation to the crowded genre in which it resides. Combat is exciting and displays much depth in building ability despite limited options.

Combat is exciting and displays much depth in building ability despite limited options. Despite what some think, Fortnite is not pay to win. Any payments you make gain you cosmetic items only and no advantages in combat. With new challenges every week, Epic Games is able to keep you playing their game. Flaws lie within combat and levelling up. In combat, certain weapons are much stronger than others leading to only certain weapons being ideal for a victory and this becomes very apparent in live streams, as most players use only certain weapons in the endgame. Levelling up is also strange as completing challenges is the main way of levelling up rather than performance. This means that opening up ammo boxes will usually give you an equivalent amount of experience as compared to winning. Otherwise, the game is extremely exciting, either going in solo, or with your friends. Fortnite is a great experience.

This game also has insane replay-ability with the all consuming desire for a "victory royale"! The only reason I did not give this a 10 is because as fun as it is it can be very frustrating. And not because you don't always win (that's a given), it's because it can at times be very unbalanced or feel broken. When the game doesn't work right and it results in your death that can be very infuriating. Nevertheless this game is an incredible play and deserves all the hype it's been getting.… Expand

    I have been playing Fortnite Battle Royale since it came out. The game gives you a new take on the Battle Royale genre by introducing the new build mechanics. You want to get on top of the mountain, build yourself a stairway, are you getting shot at, build yourself some cover during the fight. The developers are always on their toes, adding new content every week and fixing bugs. YouI have been playing Fortnite Battle Royale since it came out.

The developers are always on their toes, adding new content every week and fixing bugs. You always have something new to do every week and the best part, is that it's free.

    Unfortunately, there are flaws. The one problem I have with this game is that the combat part mostly relies on luck. Fortnite introduces RNG- a random number generator, it’s basically the chances of getting an item drop. You are not shooting and hitting your target because you are good, you just roughly aim towards the area of your enemy and you might hit him, but with my luck, I never hit. Fortunately, this can be countered by building, which is why I love this game.

    Fortnite is one of the few games that is unique and fun . I would definitely give this a try if I were you.    … Expand

    This odd combination of a third-person shooter battle royal with platforming elements and a Minecraft like building meta can be a silly yet addicting source of abnormal video game fun.

The non-realistic graphics of the weapons and cartoon-like feel to Fortnite makes this game very user-friendly to all ages. Just childish enough to include all the young ones, and enough of a competitiveness to entertain large scales of audiences across the globe. There is a very low barrier to entry as well, considering the BR mode of Fortnite is free on almost all available platforms, so this game has excelled at drawing in such a large community. Hands-on, this game feels very smooth and runs with mind-blowing fluidity. Games can start and end all in the same minute, or you can chase a victory royal all the way into the 25th minute. The best part about a game such as this is the amount of work the developers, Epic Games, is constantly putting into it to make the best possible experience for the players. Every single day there is something new added or amended in the game, whether it be a new skin or dance added to the shop, or a giant low-gravity cube that puzzles everyone as it inches its way across the map. Whatever it is you are looking for in a battle royal game, Fortnite has it. The building mechanics come second to none and the game-play manages to always keep you engaged whether you're behind the controller, or behind a screen watching your favorite streamer. There is no doubt in my mind that Fortnite will be remembered forever in gaming history as one of the best games to ever enter the hands of us very lucky gamers. Go check out Fortnite for yourself and try to be the last one standing, nothing feels quite as satisfying as a well-deserved victory royal.… Expand

    Only gripe I have is that after a while the game gets a bit grindy, the random loot boxes are random and that there's no sandbox base you can build together with your friends, like a guild or team base.    … Expand

The gameplay is very fluid, and the choice to use a stylized look (what I like to call Western Anime) is the reason this game plays so well even on the aging PS4 (non-pro version). Underneath the simple art design style is quite a deep progression system, with a huge variety of builds that one can work towards for each hero.

    The gameplay is very satisfying, from building structures, strategizing trap mazes for the zombie hordes to the tight 3rd person shooter controls.

    The biggest cons for the game at this point are that many of the systems and UI are quite confusing, and there isn't enough information in game to actually understand it properly. Much of the "pay to win" whining about this game has to do with players that do not understand the game design systems (not their fault AT ALL), or are looking to basically have beaten this entire game in the one week its been available.

    Another con is that there are not enough game modes available, though I'm pretty confident Epic is already working on this, and they have spent considerable time and effort constantly reaching out the community, explaining the road ahead for the game.

    Overall, this gamble of a video game (part shooter, part minecraft, part tower defense, part Diablo-esque gear progression) pays off. It is really fun. If you are skeptical, you don't have to worry about dropping any money as the game will be free to play in 2018. You should keep it on your radar though.    … Expand

It's one of the more fun and interesting games of the genre I've had to chance to play. The booster packs do give an edge to those who desire instant satisfaction but decent weapons and gear come fairly easily simply by playing the game and that the game is heavy reliant on cooperation rather than hardcore competition (though I suppose some will be willing to put down hundreds of $ on boosters just so they can see their end match stats being shinier than their teammates). Overall a solid title that I hope continues to be improved on with future content and hopefully more weapons, maps, and game modes.… Expand

Pecca sotto alcuni punti di vista: manca una specie di obiettivo: al di là del pass battaglia, il gioco è fine a sè stesso. Inoltre le armi non sono sempre bilanciate benissimo e la modalità "Salva il Mondo" resta ancora a pagamento. Credo che per fare il passo definitivo e non perdere troppo pubblico gli sviluppatori dovrebbero rendere gratuita la modalità Salva il Mondo e creare collegamenti tra questa e la modalità Battle Royale.    … Expand

    Fortnite is simply pure fun. The combination of a great setting, immersive gameplay, and a rewarding unlock system make this game very hard to put down. With the ability to listen and engage with fans better than most companies, its media team and developers however are the heart and strength of the game.

Also the fact that upon buying the game from the main website, I had a free download on my Ps4, which my progress is carried over on both devices. I leave the rating at 9/10 because it is early access and even though it is packed with content, I want more! And I mean content I'd be willing to pay for. This is not a 5-10 hour game you complete after a while, it is a grind game that is the first game since WoW to have actually got me in the morning before work logging in just to check my daily loot Llama. I created a metacritic account just so I can write this. IGNORE NEGATIVE REVIEWS! At least if you dont mind putting either some time or money into the game. Dont get the game if you dont want to give up your time or money depending on your playstyle. This game is a long term investment… Expand

The gameplay is fast and the combat is still entertaining 40+ hours on. Personally, I find this game to be a perfect mix of elements with pick up groups usually yielding good results. Sometimes you will get players who are farming while you are are trying to complete a mission but many missions can be completed by 2-3 competent people (or if you level up your squad a bit first). If you are looking for perfect groups all the time, like literally any other game, you will have to form your own from your friends list or meet good players in game. Personally I have only had a few bad pick up groups. If you're into speed runs, you will want to form your own group. On the pay model, yes there are loot boxes (llamas) you can buy to get a chance at premium cards, and that will be a part of all F2P models. After release there will undoubtedly be sales etc. and those will be the times to pick up the nice cards (one you have a good blueprint you can make unlimited weapons from it, the resources are fairly easy to farm at this point).… Expand
