Bog-standard Fortnite.

A couple cool new skins, more very okay skins. Two new, pretty POIs. Medallions got fleshed out or ruined depending on who you ask. And that's... about it.

Oh, they also removed cosmetic item rarities to obfuscate the pricing scale and locked Aang behind a terrible mini-pass to make him more expensive. I guess the machine printing their unlimited money wasn't printing fast enough.

The last time I seriously played Fortnite was before the release of COD: BO4. Since then, I've played a few matches from time to time, but I never fully immersed myself to completing the battle pass and doing all the challenges. My friends and mainly recent girlfriend have convinced me to hop on once more. I played Fortnite for the whole weekend and I got to say, I had a lot of fun. I've poured more hours in just one weekend than the last 5+ years combined. Game is so different from 2018 that it feels totally fresh and new.

I used to shit talk about Fortnite because I'm hipster like that, but now I'm one of the suckers who bought the battlepass and is aiming to do all the challenges. Oh how times have changed.

The elemental bending powers from Avatar are super fun to play with.

I'm removing a point because as cool as it is to fight gods and acquire their power, it's not the most original idea. Overwatch 2 had this theme in its second season.

Lastly, I want to mention how I feel bad for killing people in this game. Most people feel this way in GTA, but for me it's Fortnite. Reason is because I know a lot of kids play this and they're not exactly skilled. They're pretty awful actually and that's fine. I would be concerned if a kid played like Ninja. The reason I feel bad is because I know these kids want to play for fun and probably don't play often due to their parents. Having someone like me, someone who has been playing shooting games for about 15 years, absolutely molly wop them feels wrong. Oh well, blame Epic Games for poor matchmaking I guess.
