    It may not be the first battle royale game, and it certainly won’t be the last, but Fortnite sets itself apart from the crowd by giving you the freedom and tools to express your own personal playstyle.

    Regardless of its flaws, Fortnite is a seriously fun co-op experience that most will want to spend hours playing. There’s plenty of content, the gunplay is satisfying, and it runs well on the hardware as long as you’re comfortable playing at 30 FPS. I would love to see models added to the first-person viewpoint in the future, but even without that you’re still left with an impressive and expansive game comparable to the Horde mode from Gears of War that I’ve always loved. Based on this alone, I’d say Fortnite is well worth your time.

    Whether we're talking aesthetics or the accessibility of its gameplay, all is good for Fortnite, which provides a beautiful vision of what Battle Royale should be.

    A funny and entertaining mix of different genres, spanning from third person action-shooter to RPG to crafting/building mechanics. It's already got lots of contents even if in early access, but it's a bit too heavy in the farming/grinding side, with players that often ignore the action for tens of minutes to go harvesting materials.

    If you have friends to play with and want to devote a good chunk of time into it, Fortnite can showcase a lot of entertaining times with some great teamwork and cooperative builds. As it stands right now though, I think gamers should wait a little while and see what gets added, changed and tweaked. Maybe by then there will be some more variety added to spruce up the tired repetitive gameplay and it will be more of a game that will make a more positive impression on those who play it.

    I will bet that most of the bad reviews for this game are either because they don't win or because they haven't played all of Fortnite...I will bet that most of the bad reviews for this game are either because they don't win or because they haven't played all of Fortnite... Battle Royale is simply half of the game and I played Save the World months before I played Battle Royale.

    I think this game is addictive for a reason...
    Pros
    - The art style is cartoony, cut and playful.
    - There are constant update and fixes to keep the game stable.
    - The map is ever changing and reacts to real life events.
    - The game is influenced by popular media, for example dances and memes.
    - Creative storyline with fun characters.
    - Design wise it is impressive and high level for animation.
    - Interactive and ever changing.

    Cons
    - Their is a divide in story between Battle Royale and Save the World, I wanted their to be a connected between the two or a subtle mention in Save the World about a battle island.
    - Always bugs when a patch comes out
    - Weapon balance issues
    - Aim is a little off and sometimes no where near the target.
    - Needs more LTMs
    - Not solo player friendly in Save the World or Battle Royale

    Overall the game is great and I really enjoy it, epic support has also been really great every time I have had a personal issues... I may have a rare case, but it is a case of what has happened and I do enjoy it.    … Expand

    Fun for a little while
    Fortnite is an online 4 player co-op tower defense game all about collect materials and building bases…
    I was a huge fan of this game during my first 5 hours with it
    here you choose a hero out of a possible 4 different classes, all with their own bonuses and special cool down attack and weapons are shared by all… you start your mission of finding the objective spot on the map, collecting materials with your pick axe.. using those materials to build a base and traps… and starting when you feel you’re read to defend
    and you can defend just using your base and relying on the material of your walls to hold up or you can hop right in and melee or shoot these zombies trying to destroy the item you’re protecting…
    this tower defending is thrilling at first…
    it’s fun to explore collect and craft new weapons…
    getting better chests based on you and your teams performance
    inside of these chests are xp chips, items, skill points, and llamas…
    llamas are also loot items that you break open for survivors, heroes, weapon schematics, and xp chips as well…
    these chips go into leveling your favorite heroes and survivors up that you assign to your squads and bases for support, as well as leveling up weapon schematics…
    you can also earn xp by retiring duplicates or weaker heroes and survivors as well as recycling unneeded weapons…
    and skill points obviously go into a skill tree…
    it’s fun getting all of this loot at first and the game gives it to you at a very generous pace.. Keeping the initial few hours with this game addictive...
    sadly the gameplay itself isn’t interesting enough to keep this great loot system intriguing for long…
    it’s the same thing over and over and over..
    the developers couldn’t even be bothered with giving you a change of scenery
    you’re either back at your base, in some random woods, or town that all look and play exactly the same…
    some just have more materials for bullets than others…
    it’s just the same repetitive boring grind of collect build defend as the game slowly introduces new enemies to you
    the game never makes you think of your surrounding or change your strategy…
    its repetitive…
    I made it half way through the game and this is when the game starts forcing you to replay missions multiple times to move forward and I just couldn’t do it anymore..
    It’s a shame because I did love my first initial hours with this game...
    it just doesn’t do enough to stay fun…
    it makes you impatient and starts to feel as though its matches drag on forever…
    while you won’t hate your time with fortine..
    As again I loved my first few hours
    I’d be surprised if it keeps you entertained longer than a weekend…

    Short: Save your money!

    This game has Potential but it is not used due to ignorant developers. The main parte of the game is grinding, but    Short: Save your money!

    This game has Potential but it is not used due to ignorant developers. The main parte of the game is grinding, but this grinding doesn't lead to any schematics. Husks or zombies dont drop anything. Only way to get forward in this game is by farming llamas.

    I bought the deluxe founders pack and opened around 150 llamas so far. Not one Single legendary hero and/or weapon. This is redicilous.

    If they implement drop rates with the husks, then this game can get a good one. But like this is is Really up to you,, to spend Hundes of Dollars to get forward. It is really a pure pay2win (-progress) title.

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