Fortnite
SCORE: 70
We normally do not review video games in Early Access. Fortnite may
never get out of Early Access though. While on Christmas Break I decided
to learn and play some Fortnite on the Playstation 4. The modes except
Save the World are free. There are one hundred man battle royals, and
rotating modes. Epic Games keeps changing the modes that are available
for teams. Fortnite also has Duos, Squads and Creative. Creative is a
great mode to practice and get better.
One of the Fortnite videos I did is already online. The other one will
be online after this review publishes. I have also written multiple news
articles about Fortnite now. This game can be very addicting as players
try to win matches. I have ranked number two in multiple one hundred man
matches. I have come close to winning but have not won one. I am also
probably done playing Fortnite.
The match making in Fortnite in my opinion is not very good. I was in
way over my head from the beginning. I had to learn how to collect
resources, craft, and more. Collecting weapons and ammo is really easy.
Learning the massive map is not so easy. By the way that map is changing
in the different seasons. Fortnite can be very addicting as players want
to win so they try over and over again.
There are all kinds of daily missions to complete in Fortnite. If you
can win you can get V-Bucks which will allow you cosmetic changes to
your characters skin. V-Bucks can also be purchased for real money which
is why Epic is rolling in the cash. Guns do not auto target so you must
line up your shot. Smart players jump all around to make themselves a
harder target. Imagine jumping around and trying to target another
player. I lost those skills many years ago.
Save the World is a different mode where you collect resources and
defend against zombies. However you play this third person shooter know
there is violence. A plethora of weapons can be used to make other
players vanish. If you are hurt then you might find yourself crawling on
all fours. You will most likely get finished off by another player. If
you are in some team mode then a team mate can revive you.
The loading can take awhile in Fortnite. There are almost always matches
that players can get into quickly. I see why people enjoy playing
Fortnite. The match making needs to improve for newbie players to win
some and learn the skills to victory. Building is important, and so is
siting the weapons. I learned hiding could get me in the top ten quite
often. A strategy that some players do not appreciate.
