Fortnite: Battle Royale

I have 127days 13hours and 25 minutes of pure playtime in Fortnite: Battle Royale and there's a couple of reasons why. Firstly it may be tough to learn as a newbie, but after some time you will manage to win duells and it's a lot of fun to try to improve one's skills. The weapons may handle a little bit to far on the arcade side, especially if you are used to the Battlefield gunplay. Nevertheless the gunplay is for me one of the best parts of the game as it's skillbased (even though the recoil system can't be "learned") and the time to kill is quite short which makes combat more intense than you would expect from the cartoonish look of the game. To balance the short time to kill Fortnite has the famous building mechanic which is surprisingly easy to learn and hard to master. I am not really good at building, so I just use the buildiung to get on mountains or to somehow get an clear view on an opponent. This brings a bit of tactical depth to the genre as you have to look after your supply of materials to be able to build and you have to think of where you should build to not waste your materials. Finding a match is no problem you will always find one within a couple of seconds and you are put together with guys that are about as good as you through skillbased matchmaking. If you like the graphics depends on your personal taste, but they fit the arcade focus of the game. All textures are sharp and the models are pretty. There are also little details you find out about after you played the game for some time. If you gather materials by pickaxing a tree, a blue circle will appear; hitting that circle will double your damage on the tree and the materials you get for this hit as the circle shows you a vulnerable point of the tree. Every couple of weeks seasons change in Fortnite. Every season has a general theme and fitting battle pass rewards. The theme of the season is related through fortnite's ongoing story which is told through ingame-events. The sounds are just perfekt. You can tell where you find chests to loot if an opponent is nearby,what he does, etc. just be hearing the sound. New content is delivered in a two week cycle sometimes more sometimes less but in the end there is a good amount of new content every once in a while. The last point I want to point out are the ingame purchases you can make. As Fortnite is a Free2Play game it offers an item shop in which you can buy skins, gliders,emotes and other cosmetics for V-Bucks which you buy with real money. Playing fortnite without a skin or the Battle Pass is possible without any restrictions or Pay2win so in my opinion selling cosmetics is fair. There are some restrictions when it comes to challenges. There are (at the time I write this) challenges that run as long as the season lasts, which are done without particular effort (walk ... metres, swim ... metres), then there are three daily challenges, if you completed one of them you get a new one which will give you less XP. A third type of challenges are the battle pass weekly challenges which are renewed every week (on thursday) give a lot of XP and allow you to unlock special styles of the battle pass skins. These challenges are harder but more creative than the other challenges (find a certain point on the map,solve a riddle,...). As a verdict I can say that this game is really good and you should give it a try as it won't cost you anything.

Fortnite is an expanding and fun game. I recommend you play this game because it will relax your brain and your muscles in your brain. It offers a lot of different cosmetics (skins, back bling, glider, contrail, etc.)It is a 100 payer battle royale and there is also creative. Creative lets you designed you own map and play with your friends without getting oofed. Coming to Fortnite is also a build your own game function just like Roblox and it will be fun and amazing for many.I recommend you to play this game you will really enjoy it!👍👍😇😄 Jeff

oct. 4, 2020 - This game Fortnite has its ups and downs, a lot of creators have left Fortnite and many have stayed. I still love this game but I have one huge problem with it. The developers used to listen to the community and tell the community everything in every new update. Now they aren't as connected, they don't tell us about their new updates, or listen. That's the main problem, also the game used to change a lot before chapter 2, EVERY new season it was like the whole game would change and it was crazy fun; Now all's their is every new season is a new battlepass and maybe a couple small changes. But the game is still really fun and I still really enjoy playing it. So for these reasons I'm going to have to give the game a 3.5 stars until the developers start listening and connecting with us again, because right now the game is starting to get boring with nothing new really getting added to the game.
