    For me, the game on the switch feels way better than on ps4 because I can hit Zr for example and place stairs instead of scrolling with L1 and R1 and scroll to stairs then place R2.

    能把这样的游戏在SWITCH上优化到这种程度,牛逼。顺滑。

    It's fun for a little game with your friends or so, and can be quite engaging, but it's mostly so full of microtransactions and promotions it just feels pushy. The community is also pretty toxic. I can see the vision that Epic Games had for Fortnite, but it's just gone down the wrong road.

    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!

    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.

    When I first played this game, I was bored out of my mind the whole time, as I felt that barely anything was happening. However, As I continued to play, I actually began to have some fun with this title. Now, I can say that this game is actually not that bad. It's not fully my cup of tea and certainly not something I'd play everyday, but I can understand why so many people genuinely enjoy this.

    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.

    Un gioco molto bello, un battle royale molto azzeccato; visto i numeri di download che ha guadagnato.
    In queste nuove season futuristiche, è molto apprezzato da certi utenti e disprezzato da altri. Oggi hanno anche aggiunto la modalità creativa 2.0 ed è tutto magnifico.
    L'unica pecca è che la grafica e la dinamica del gioco sono cambiate molto ed io reputo che le season precedenti erano

    Fortnite has definitely lost it's charm over the years and while wining brings some satisfaction you are constantly being yelled at your teammates and being placed against players better than you frequently so while it's a good game the community brings this game way down.

    Worst game of all time. The only good thing about this games is that kids will be able to use guns easly alfter they turn 18. Love AMERKIA, not this bullsh*t!

    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.
