Critic Reviews for Fortnite: Battle Royale
Thanks to the freedom of its outstanding building mechanic, Fortnite Battle Royale isn't just a great battle royale game – it's one of the best multiplayer games in recent history.
Fortnite is the ultimate video game playground – with a rich world to explore, snappy third-person shooting, fun crossover content, and a wealth of cool side missions and objectives, it’s nearly impossible to get bored playing Epic’s definitive Battle Royale.
Nobody thought Fortnite would still be popular this late on, but it's continued to adapt and fight for its spot at the top of the battle royale ladder.
Playable, watchable, understandable, and enjoyable by just about anyone with a pulse, Fortnite is an absolute blast
Fortnite: Battle Royale offers lots of depth with a fun and unique take on the last-person-standing premise.
Fortnite wants to cover more than it can. Its three pillars of action, construction and management are too independent. To make matters worse, it feels too focused on opening piñatas (chests) and pay-to-continue.

Nothing offers the lighthearted, fun for all ages battle royale that Fortnite does.
Fortnite on PS5 is an improvement with a lovely 4K resolution and useful and accurate haptic feedback. Activity Cards help players get to the Battle Royale mode they want easily, jumping in quickly without wasting a moment. Adaptive Triggers disadvantage you in Battle Royale but are a nice addition in Save The World. Fortnite is still the same game, albeit with some nice quality of life changes on Sony's new console.
