    Gameplay
    The gameplay of Fortnite is very boring and easy. You have to control one character who can run, jump, build, and shoot. You have to survive against 99 other players who are trying to kill you. Sometimes you have to find weapons, sometimes you have to find resources, and sometimes you have to find a safe zone. The controls are very simple and basic, and the camera is very smooth    Gameplay
    The gameplay of Fortnite is very boring and easy. You have to control one character who can run, jump, build, and shoot. You have to survive against 99 other players who are trying to kill you. Sometimes you have to find weapons, sometimes you have to find resources, and sometimes you have to find a safe zone. The controls are very simple and basic, and the camera is very smooth and stable. Sometimes you win, or lose, or quit. It’s not fun at all. It makes me want to yawn and roll my eyes.

    Story
    The story of Fortnite is very vague and pointless. It’s about a storm that creates zombies and a bus that drops people into a map. But then there’s also a lot of random events and characters that have nothing to do with anything. And then there’s also a lot of skins and dances that you can buy or unlock. And then there’s also a lot of challenges and quests that you can do or ignore. It’s very hard to care and it doesn’t make any sense. It makes me want to skip and ignore.

    Graphics
    The graphics of Fortnite are very ugly and childish. The characters look very cartoonish and unrealistic, especially their faces and their bodies. The environments look very bland and generic, especially the grass and the trees. The cutscenes look very silly and stupid, especially the dances and the emotes. The graphics are the only bad thing about this game. They make me want to puke and cry.

    Sound
    The sound of Fortnite is very quiet and boring. The music is very dull and forgettable, especially the lobby music. The sound effects are very weak and lame, especially the gunshots and the explosions. The voice acting is very rare and irrelevant, especially the announcer’s voice and the character’s voice. The sound is very bad for my mood. It makes me want to sleep and snore.

    Overall
    Fortnite has also made the world a worse place. It has corrupted the youth and the culture. It has promoted violence and addiction among young people, who become obsessed with the game and neglect their education and social life. It has also stolen dances and songs from other artists without giving them credit or compensation. It has also influenced other media and celebrities to pander to the Fortnite audience, such as Marvel movies or Ninja.

    Fortnite is a cancer on society and culture. It should be banned and erased from existence. It is a threat to humanity and civilization. It makes me scared and disgusted. I give it negative infinity stars out of ten.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Don’t play this game. Play something else instead. Like Minecraft or Roblox . Those are good games that I like. They have creativity and originality in them. And they’re funny and fun! Play those games instead! Trust me, you’ll thank me later!    … Expand

    This game is laggy which will get you killed in game quickly since its cross play the people on better consoles easily destroy everyone on switch, and then the way overpriced microtransactions are insane 10 to 15 dolars for a single skin is stupid.

    This game is the worst thing ever. It has characters that are making kids think Fortnite invented them. On top of that, kids have gotten so desperate for vbucks that they steal their parent's credit cards. Why does anyone like this game?

    Fortnite is nothing but a masterpiece
    This game changed my life forever as it is just so fun and cool
    The game is great to play with friends and honestly is okay to spend money on (just not too much) as all you need is to buy vbucks once and then as long as you complete the battle pass will be gifted with even more profits each season.

    while technically playable on switch you should play it ANYWHERE else for a much better experience. frame rate and resolution is very bad here.

    the item shop is a rip off you can't get anything unless you get the battle pass i mean at least its not pay to win wrong its pay to not get bullied because people will attack you if you're a default which is stupid because those two year old's are just bragging about their money pretty much its hard to get good at and its no fun if you play with people better than you only play if youthe item shop is a rip off you can't get anything unless you get the battle pass i mean at least its not pay to win wrong its pay to not get bullied because people will attack you if you're a default which is stupid because those two year old's are just bragging about their money pretty much its hard to get good at and its no fun if you play with people better than you only play if you plan to play it for a long time other than that avoid and play a different game… Expand

    I just found out there is gay pop in the game 0/10. I hate the gay so this revew is based. I am the giga chad of revewers I said the thing everyone is thinking but none wanted to admit it. The fact there is a LGBTQ event is just stupid. No one cares about your stupid sexualaty. This may look like a rant about LGBTQ because it is , I just dont care about you

    For one, Save the World is not available on the Switch port of Fortnite. Two, ever since 2018, the game has increasingly gotten harder to run. Used to be a really smooth experience, now it's just a laggy mess being matched up with players better than you on different platforms.

    Another lackluster port. Get ready for 10-20 FPS every time there's a decent amount of people on screen.

    Good game, but absolutely unplayable on the Switch due to performance issues. You're better off playing on any other platform.

    This is super low quality for a switch game, to be honest. Sure, not every game can be pushed to its limit, sure, but I just don't like it.

    Creators with permissions will find the Matchmaking Portal in the Device Gallery and two new Matchmaking settings in the My Island Game Settings screen.

    Fortnite brings a lot to the table with season 5, and while it is certainly worth your time and money, I just wish it could be a tad bit smoother before calling it “perfect”.

    Fortnite Battle Royale delivers a perfect balance in gunplay, progression and sandbox elements. No wonder it may be 2018's gaming phenomenon. We even like the way microtransactions allow players to enter new challenges and earn cosmetics for the game, but don´t alter the core mechanics.
