    I played it because it was free. Now I am an addict. Take Call of Duty meets Minecraft meets Minecraft meets Lego meets Second life and you have an amazing game the family can play. Did you read the part where I said it was free? No gimmicks. Pure 100% free.

    I used to be a Fortnite hater until I played about a dozen 4man squad rounds and I really love it and find non building battle royales a lot less dynamic than Fortnite. I hope someone else takes this and builds on it!

    Been playing this quite a lot lately at home but also played it several times on my Switch @ a local coffee shop. This is the most versatile version ever of Fortnite. Even with a phone, there's no joycons, meaning that in portable or tabletop mode you can finally play this game decently and with some excellent graphics.10/10

    Fortnite on a Handheld console is great. Ive been wanting this port for ages and its finally here! A few things that need to be fixed, but i'm sure it will be fixed in updates in the future.

    Best game on the switch. I love enabling hotspot on my iPhone and playing Fortnite wherever I go. I always make sure to bring my Pro Controller with me. The game is excellent.

    Fortnite is already a great game on PC, and when they announced the switch port, I was OVERJOYED to play it (but I didn't have a switch until now). And from what I can tell, it's GREAT. I'm not that guy that really cares about graphics and frame-rate that much, but at 720p and 30 fps, its basically the bare minimum I can take (I would prefer 60 fps but still its THE BEST WAY TO PLAYFortnite is already a great game on PC, and when they announced the switch port, I was OVERJOYED to play it (but I didn't have a switch until now).

I'm not that guy that really cares about graphics and frame-rate that much, but at 720p and 30 fps, its basically the bare minimum I can take (I would prefer 60 fps but still its THE BEST WAY TO PLAY FORTNITE ON THE MOVE). Everything from the PC game (all controls, full HUD). are on the Switch, However there is one thing that isn't on the Switch and I really don't know why is the Weapon Specifications. See, on the PC version of the game you would get the DPS, Damage per 1 bullet, Bullets fired per seconds, Number of bullets available to hold in the weapon, and reload time. On the Switch port it only shows the DPS of the weapon, which is kind of a drag because those other stats can really help me know the weapon stats better instead of looking it up online or if its a new weapon I read the patch notes. However I will still rate this a 10/10 because look at the user score!It's a 6.7! It should be at least an 8.0! (but still this version of Fortnite does have the highest user score and is the only version in the mixed of average range). So i'm doing this to help raise the user score. The 6.7 is mostly from unaware idiots and in most of their reviews say how some controls are missing (which is entirely FAKE NEWS), how the graphics are bad (ITS THE FREAKING SWITCH ITS NOT PERFECT BE GRATEFUL ITS HD) and how playing on the joycons is horrible (really, it's not that bad and you can get used to it pretty quickly, I prefer Combat Pro, its best for shooting and good for building).

    P.S. I kind of wish this game will never die because it holds a special place in my heart.    … Expand

    The very best multiplayer game on Switch. I didn't think that is possible to port Fortnite on Switch. It seems the console is powerful enough

    As a first time player of Fortnite due to South East Asia PS Store not having it, I downloaded this FREE game as it launched. It runs superbly on the Nintendo and is great fun. Very little time waiting to enter the battles which was really surprising after the time it takes to matchmake on Rocket League.

    Fortnite does not force you to pay for anything, as the in-game currency which can be purchased is good for aesthetics only and doesn’t make any difference to performance.
    Again it’s Free, so if you don’t like it, don’t worry, it’s cost you nothing. For me it’s a must-have entry on the Switch.    … Expand

    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.
