Обзор Fortnite: Save The World

Советую

I tried Battle Royale just to be in the know about what other people are going all mad about. Mind that I am not a fan of shooters, I can hardly say that I have any favorites in the genre. I've spent less than 2 hours with Fortnite, so don't take this review too seriously. If you want a general overview of what Fornite is about, you might see the video below.

First, the things I liked about Fortnite. It has a wacky cartoonish style and ridiculously goofy environment. It looks interesting and reminds me of the Worms franchise with all these strange-looking weapons and junk-filled maps.

There are a bunch of interesting mechanics that were new to me. Like building shelters or entire buildings on the go and collecting resources.  Or starting a match with no firearm. There are also other small things, which, when combined, make Fortnite a fresh experience. 

Then, it's a third-person shooter, and I tend to like third-person action games more because it usually means you have a different field of vision and perspective leading to small changes in tactics and the manner of playing. In fact, while I was writing this review, I learned that Epic explicitly told that it was not going to bring a first-person mode, unlike its competitors PUBG or H1Z1. All in all, I prefer third-person games, and this was a good thing for me.

Finally, it is overwhelmingly popular, so I waited a match to start for a minute just once. Usually it was all very quick. Definitely a good thing, if you want to just casually play a couple of matches.

As for the things I didn't like. Well, I guess they are the same for me for all online shooters, so I won't whine about lagging servers, annoying other players, etc. Also matches are too long for me (there are 100 players and the map is relatively big). But Fortnite is fun, trust me. I'll hardly play it again, but I recommend anybody to try it.
