    Avoid, much better FPS available. I've also seen some offensive ID's, doesn't seem like devs are doing much about that either

    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.

    4. Only reason it's hot is because streamers and rappers bandwagon

    This game is trash, my pump does 9 damage. there's only 1 map, boring gameplay. You run around for 50 years and then you fight for 2 minutes and you die.

    I feel like Fortnite does not deserve as much popularity as it has right now simply because it's just so lacking for me.

    First of all, this game is all gameplay and no story (I say 'no story' because as of right now it's just generic zombie infestation story #420 at this point), and that is fine, but that is also not good if there are people who don't really like the game play (such as    I feel like Fortnite does not deserve as much popularity as it has right now simply because it's just so lacking for me.

There is also no such thing as Training mode or something like that which further dooms anyone who has never played a shooter in their life (or some people at least) and really only applying to those who have played BO3 or some other shooters. This also means that if you feel like it's too much of a hassle trying to learn how to get the best headshots or the best IG plays then it's practically over, since Fortnite's main (and only) appeal is the game play. For instance, I can not like the game play of Persona 5, but I can have the story, characters, and lore of each Persona to enjoy, Fortnite is the opposite of that, only having game play as its excelling trait (unless making OCs of Fortnite skins is your thing), which makes it a bit more niche in my opinion.

    As for it being "P2W", I didn't find it an issue, as everything appeared to be just cosmetic, which to me seemed to be one of the few saving graces with this game, the other ones being frequent updates and game modes.

    Fortnite is not a bad game, it's a bad game to me, and to other people probably for different reasons.
    Also this is not really meant to be a review to help people consider buying the game, this is just my irrelevant opinion that will be overruled by the many people that think Fortnite is 'the best game ever'.    … Expand

FORTnite...FORT... fort are useless in this game; the most that anyone does is a tall rectangle. That's it.

    Graphics: Subpar at best. Character polygons are CLEARLY visible, and graphical glitches occur often. That said, it is fairly nice looking of a game.

    Micro Transactions: Tis a sad day in gaming where we must deal with micro transactions. It's there, and they suck.... highly overpriced skins that give disadvantages.

    Let me say this: I do NOT play PUBG and i'm NOT just a buttsore noob. I've played a coupled hundred match and won a decent amount.

    Verdict: 2/10
    Average gunplay
    Horrid building

This doesn’t mean that Fortnite can’t be enjoyed, but there are quite a few nuances that tend to really add up after you notice them. These things can range from repetitive gameplay and pay to win style mechanics, non consistent pvp, and all around feeding people’s addictive personalities. First, I would like to talk about the repetitive game-play. Now in a world where words like grind y and repetitive are tossed around a lot Fortnite really fits the checklist on this one. You kinda know what your getting into in the beginning of most of these types of games because it always starts out with rarity. The moment you turn the game on and see some form of rarity system to your weapons or in this case everything you know your going to be doing the same thing over and over. This game is no exception and as a matter of fact it really amplifies this aspect. Games like Borderlands, World of Warcraft, and Diablo have done this in the past successfully, but how many times are we going to see this. Thinking about how games like Diablo and such have done it better I believe it boils down to when they did it, it didn’t feel so cheap. When you can just pay for your lamas to get different rarity of items, what makes getting different items and rarity unique. Other games you have to grind, but when you finally get what you want the pay off feels a lot more a rewarding. When you add a loot crate system with pay to win then you become just as bad, if not worse, as companies like EA or Bungie. Sure you can grind missions and get your own lamas to unlock different characters and weapons, but why does it matter. You can do the same missions over and over to try to get better stuff and make your character better or you can just buy lamas. There’s no end to the game and there looks to be no completion anytime soon, all the missions range from building and defending to building and defending, the rarity of items don’t make that much of a difference and the gaming environment is toxic. Almost all the missions can be done with leveled up ranged weapon, melee weapon and a trap. If you can get the basics of the game it doesn’t matter what ranged, melee, or trap you use. Going back to the toxic environment, I can’t even load up the game without first seeing that a person is a scammer or how people want to trade just to comeback and complain about being scammed. Trading in this game is useless and I truly don’t understand why people are trading to begin with. You want stuff, go get it yourself. You can literally jump into a game and get almost anything you need from searching the map. I guess I wouldn’t be so bitter if I wasn’t exposed to whining all the time and for the fact that you can choose any map and mission you want to get what you need. If your not being annoyed by the trading environment then get ready because you get to experience a whole range of crappy teammates. Crappy teammates can range from the person that joins your game just to hide somewhere and get your teams rewards, people trying to trap you to trade with you or constantly harass you to trade with them or give them free stuff, and people who join to get what they want and then just abandon the match. Let's talk about pvp for a second. Now we all know by now that Battle Royal’s are the big thing and they will be for the next year most part, but what makes this game stand out is the building aspect. Ok, cool, it’s still a Battle Royal. There is no method to the madness when it comes to this type of gameplay and that can be quite exhausting as well. There is a charming aspect at first trying to be the best, but there are so many things that can come up that cause you to die that it really is just a gamble everytime you jump into the game. You can learn from your mistakes and get practice to get better, but I have got into plenty of fights and landed shots just to see the person was barely unscathed. I really wonder about the mechanics of the pvp when that happens. I’ve seen youtube videos of people laying into other players that have no shield and still get killed. You grab a legendary thinking it’s going to make the difference just to be killed by a random with a gray tactical or green pump. You turn a corner to get one shot knowing that if you tried that you would be in a fight for your life. I would like to admit that the building aspect brings out a chess esce feel to the match when it comes down to it, but there are so many negative qualities to the combat that it almost seems like a wool over the eyes to make it seem like it’s purely skill. All this is blanketed by the fact that if you are somewhat good at pvp each match can take up to 20 minutes just to get killed. There is more i would like to add, but the basics is that it's a grind y phone app.… Expand

The game is free to play but you can buy skins and stuff for real money. If your a parent and reading this NEVER let your children play this because if you do they will get obsessed and will nag you for money to buy the latest skins all the time. The cosmetics are overpriced , the game is unbalanced , it will turn any 7 year old into a annoying brat. DONT PLAY IT OR LET ANY KIDS PLAY IT!

    While Save the World is a lot of fun, Battle Royale is the main thing about the game and the fact is that you are essentially wasting your time playing this game, wasting your life! Save the world is the only thing that is enjoyable in this game, also its a rip-off of PUBG and The Japanese book of the same name

    I am slowly quitting this game. I have a lot of friends who still play therefore, I still play from time to time. My prediction is that Fortnite will go out in popularity just as fast as it came in.

So theyI am slowly quitting this game. I have a lot of friends who still play therefore, I still play from time to time. My prediction is that Fortnite will go out in popularity just as fast as it came in. The problem with the game is that Epic doesn't want to scare away new players because they need new players to stick around and buy some skins, harvesting tools and new dance moves. So they keep the new players around by introducing massive amounts of luck, via randomness, into the game. Here are just a few examples:

    1. Shotgun blast radius is overly large allowing players who aren't good shots to "pray and spray" and have a good chance at winning.

    2. Shotgun damage is obscenely unbalanced. The pellets can sometimes miss and do only 9 points of damage or sometimes land a direct hit and do over 200 points of damage. So even if you are full health and full shield you can die immediately by a one shot from a shotgun. Why even have shields in the game if you can be dropped to zero health with one shot even though you are fully shielded and at 100 health? Epic needs to bring consistency to the shotgun by making the damage more reasonable in the 40 to 80 range. They can still have some space for randomness but 9 damage is dumb and 200+ damage is really dumb.

    3. AR bloom is the worst I've seen in any game. You can have your sights lined up perfectly and not hit anything. Again, Epic is catering to the new player here because if the AR bloom were more realistic skilled players would be winning more battles consistently.

    4. RPG "splash" damage works similar to the shotgun where sometimes the splash will only do a bit of damage and other times it will one shot an opponent. Again, the RPG is one of the easiest weapons in the game to utilize which makes it a perfect weapon for new players to take out a skilled player via luck. The blast radius should be reduced and the damage should be more consistent.

    5. SMG's and pistols need to be buffed. Epic buffed SMG's during the patch prior to this last one and the SMG felt viable as a weapon for the first time. Then after this most recent patch the SMG feels extremely weak again and unusable. When you get into a close quarters battle and you are holding a blue or purple SMG or pistol and your opponent is rocking a shotgun of any color you are going to lose 9 times out of 10 even if you land all your shots with the SMG or pistol because of the ease of use of the shotgun (large blast radius) and the massive amount of damage you can do with a shotgun with one shot (upwards 200+). Stop bringing more weapons into the game Epic before you balance the weapons you already have.

    6. You can't shoot through leaves on trees nor can you build through wooden guard rails. The geniuses at Epic have made it so that you can't shoot through tiny leaves that are hanging down even when it's literally one single leaf. Epic came out with a patch that made it so that whenever you build your build will go through trees, structures, dumpsters and other objects but for some reason if you try to build over a wooden guard rail it won't let you. And there are a lot of wooden guardrails in the game. This has gotten me killed countless times.

    7. Bugs, errors, glitches and bad servers. Epic has no problem coming out with a new skin every other day for you to spend money on but for some reason it takes them months to fix bugs, errors, glitches and server lag that greatly affect the playability of the game. Epic is putting the cart before the horse and their sales will drop dramatically because of their inability to keep Fortnite running in optimal shape. When their servers were down for the entire day last week they lost millions.    … Expand

    It's nothing more than a rip-off of other Battle Royale games. The only new thing Fortnite does, is adding a new layer of more intense, unrealistic gameplay. The game offers its own cartoony style, which looks incredibly cool, but behind its joyful and friendly interface, a huge cashmachine begs for your money. I wish they just asked fourty dollars for this game and left their shop-system out.

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.
