Fortnite: Review- The Next Battlegrounds

Hey guys! Welcome back to another post of The Games Insiders! We are back with another review. Where today we are going to be talking about one of the newest game of 2017. Before we start this post, thank you so much for viewing our blog, and feel free to watch the rest of the blog. Without any other farther to do, let's start today's AMAZING post!!!!!!!!!


About

Fortnite is a co-op survival developed by Epic Games, and People Can Fly. It's paid early release was release in June 2017, and the full version is to be released in 2018. This game was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, PS4, and Xbox One. You can also fight the Battle Royale Mode and fight zombie-like creatures.

Gameplay

Fortnite is set on Earth, so no crazy alien battles or anything. One day there was a huge storm that caused 98% of the people in Earth to disappear. Then the Zombie-like creatures (no surprise), attacks the planet. This game is said to be a crossover between Minecraft and Left 4 Dead. Fortnite allows maximum of 4 people to cooperate in a randomly generated mission and a map. Your goal is to collect resources and built a defense shelter sort of team to help fight the storm and protect the survivors, and construct weapons and traps to fight in combats with these creatures, that tries to
destroy the objectives.

Players can also gain rewards through missions to improve their characters, support their team, and also get weapons. You can also use that to make traps, which can help as the missions get harder and harder. There are also currencys, which you can use to upgrade stuffs.

There's also something called the Battle Royale Mode, where it's sort of like Player Unkown Battlegrounds, where you have to land from the sky and loot guns and weapons from houses and things and fight. As the time goes the ring will get smaller and if you step into the outside of the ring, you will start losing health. It's pretty much a copy of Battlegrounds.


Story Plot

The story plot is quite simple. One day, 98% of Earth's population suddenly disappeared, and the remaining population found the skies covered in dense clouds, creating chaotic storms that dropped husks, humanoid zombie-like creatures, that attacked the living. The survivors found ways to construct "storm shields", a field that cleared the storm clouds from immediately overhead and
reduced the attacks from husks, and used these to set up survivor bases across the globe. The player is a commander of one of these bases charged with going out of the storm shield to find resources, survivors and other allies to help expand their storm shield and find a way to return Earth to it's normal state.

Weapons

There are many kinds of weapons. The weapons are color coded based on their rarity, and how strong they are.There are many weapons still getting added into the game. The most recent one was the mini gun. You can get weapons by looting chests, or you can also find them on the ground. Also, if you kill a player in the Battle Royale Mode, they will drop all of the person's items, and the player can take it.

You can divide the weapons into 5 different groups which are: Revolver, Sniper, Grenade Launcher, Shotgun, and the Rifle. They will be given a pickaxe as well, to protect themselves.

The chance of getting critical hit is 0%. It costs you 1 ammo to shoot once. However, there will be ammos everywhere, so there will be no worries looking for ammos around the maps. Depending on a gun, you could have more bullets in your guns.

Review

Overall Fortnite is an amazing game, where it's also kind of realistic. This is probably the best game Epic has ever made, and will probably rlead them to some big successes. The story is great, and I like everything about this game, except for the fact that it's a Battlegrounds ripoff. However, this game is not officially released yet, so anything can happen in between those times.

Common Sense Media- 4/5 stars

Metacritic- 72%

The Games Insiders- 9/10
