This specifically is a review for Fortnite: Save the World's PC release.
I'm one of those people who have been around since 2017, and bought the game with a founder's package. I don't regret it at all. I've burned hundreds of hours on the PvE experience Save the World brings. Essentially, picture your favorite third person shooter with a tower defense. Sounds awesome, right?
Anyway, that concept was enough to get me hooked, but the sheer variety in hero and weapon builds, as well as the progression being simple but satisfying has kept me coming back.
As for the downsides, STW is a "dead" game that's very much neglected by its devs and is very frequently ridden by gameplay hindering bugs. Also, 90% of the random players you run into will be griefers, or just people who **** at the game so bad you might as well not have on your team. That hampers things quite a bit. But regardless, the aspects I love about this game have not been properly replicated by any PvE game on the market.
And in a market where a lot of mediocre games are $70, I think spending $18.50 to be able to play Save the World (As well as getting some vbucks and a skin to go with it) is a steal in today's day and age. Even without founders, I wouldn't blink to buy that package if you enjoy these kinds of PvE experiences.
Despite being dispersed across several places, my friend group has a particular spot in their hearts for Fortnite. Distance no longer exists between us because of this game, which has turned into our virtual hangout. We can easily connect thanks to its cross-platform play, which transforms our gaming sessions into times of companionship and laughing. Our connections have gained a special touch thanks to Fortnite, whether we're strategizing or exploring the vibrant in-game environment. It's more than simply a game; it's a place where we gather and create memories that help us forget the distance between us. Our connections have genuinely gotten stronger because of Fortnite, demonstrating the potent bonding effect of gaming across distance.
Fortnite's appeal lies in its dynamic blend of shooting mechanics and unique building features, allowing players to construct defenses and vantage points on the fly, adding a layer of strategy to the frenetic battles. The game's constant updates and events keep the experience fresh, ensuring there's always something new to discover. However, the proliferation of microtransactions, particularly for cosmetic items, can feel exploitative and detract from the immersion. Additionally, the skill gap between seasoned players and newcomers can be daunting, potentially discouraging new entrants. Nevertheless, Fortnite's vibrant art style, tight controls, and frequent collaborations with pop culture icons make it an engaging and often exhilarating multiplayer experience. For those willing to overlook its monetization model and steep learning curve, Fortnite offers a captivating and ever-evolving virtual arena where every match is an opportunity for triumph or defeat.
You know, I saw some guys review on this game and he's kinda right. This game **** more than people who can't follow directions. There have been several kids who have spammed the n word at me, even if they killed me. I hopped in one match hoping to get some kills and there was one kid, probably the age of 8 by the sound of his voice, constantly saying slurs at just about everything. If the community wasn't so trash, the game would most likely be better.
