    Fortnite is an overrated game that should have never been. There are... "microtransactions" *shudders* and, well, i don't care enough to list all the bad stuff. i'm just giving it a 1 because the zombie campaign was "okay" before 2017.

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

    One of the most overhyped games of this gaming generation. Controls layout is awful for a console game, game is filled with mictrotransactions, helped pushed out the mediocre battle royale craze, etc. The only good thing this game has done is help create Epic Store (thereby ending Steam's monopoly), emote dances and memes.

All they want to hear are positive news about their game. There is no will in improving or making better.

    I bought the Founders Edition deluxe, with a copy for my daughter. So I spent 90 € on this game. And first, especially if you see videos everything is so exciting and new. The gameplay is smooth, the characters are fine, the loot is overwhelming (at first).

    But if you are into the game for a few hours, you recognize it is a big cash maschine. The only way to loot and lvl your gear up is through llamas. And the normal llamas, as well as the rare llamas are containing a lot of trash.

    I opened, thanks to the Founders deluxe editions hundres of llamas. So far not one single legendary character or weapon. Just normal stuff.

    The biggest problem of this game is, that there is no sense in doing all that. The zombies don't drop loot. The treasures in the world are only for the next games, no chance to find any schematics. You do the same over and over again for nothing. This game is, with this state of play, a total waste of time and money.

    They just want, you put more and more money into that game for a really boring early access. I played hundreds of games in my life. But this game so far is the first game I regret spending money on.

    The behavior and the goals of the developers are really something you should be aware of!    … Expand

    Avoid this like the plague. The game almost seems to capitalise on anger. I could feel myself getting angry at the game and wanting to go back for more, but then I asked myself what the point was when I could be playing much better games. One major gripe I have is with loading times - ridiculous in number and length!

    If your kid is playing, take some responsibility and make sure they're not addicted and get them some decent games instead.    … Expand

    Not going to waste a bunch of time writing a long review. Simply put, Fortnite is fun for the first few hours, then becomes stale. The game starts to feel repetitive after a while, and you end up feeling like there's not much more to do other than what's already been done. There's a great basis for an amazing game, I just feel like the execution isn't there.

    Game does not encourage co-op play. Tons of grinding. Boring core game loop that's heavily gated by F2P and SLOW mission progression. Prepare to be standing in front of a wall and holding down RT the majority of your time. DO NOT PURCHASE!

    This game is not as good as what people say it is. I get some fun out of it for the first hour, but after a bit it gets kind of boring. There are micro transactions galore, and I understand that's the business model of F2P games, and that's no excuse. After a bit, it becomes the same old, same old. It has it's good parts, but it's mostly trash.

    It's a fine and dandy game, if you think a blatant rip-off of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds is dandy. the gunplay is akin to Overwatch (meaning... yet another plaigarization, surprise!) and the mechanics of a battle royale game are moot because you can build anything, anywhere, to break the fun of an enviroment-reliant shooter.

    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.

    Biggest pile of garbage ever. Weapons are overpowered and unbalanced. Takes an hour to reload and fall from sky when you jump out of bus. No enemy tracking, so they show up behind you and one shot you with an overpowered shotgun. Seems like its geared towards hardcore players and builders. Not a fun or good gaming experience.

    One of the most obnoxious games I have ever played. You spend 25 minutes gather garbage weapons and materials, then some loser who doesn't do anything with their lives, snipes you from across the level and you're dead. Good idea, bad execution.

    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.
