I know it's funny to make a review about fortnite about everything but I was inspired because I have a long history with this game. To being introduced through the now seemingly 2nd mode which was save the world (which I find to be an okay horde mode). I remember playing the game one day and idk what spurred the thought but I glanced at the other mode called "Battle Royale" and shit has not been the same since. I wanna say I played late into season 2 was when I played fortnite for the first time and man it has EVOLVED since then. To seeing the evolution of actual game mechanics that weren't building to the explosion it had on pop culture. While Fortnite isn't the first BR to do it I think it's the one that perfected the formula. Having a unique gimmick with building and eventually getting to a point of making it's own non build mode that plays more like traditional BR game. This is such a content rich BR experience that you will not get anywhere else. To the addition of all the creative maps (and especially the crazy shit you can now do with UEFN). I've been there for the start of warzone and apex and there is no question why Fortnite has stayed as relevant as it has for as long as it has. It is a game that actually changes and doesn't get comfortable, while for better or worse when it comes to certain season gimmicks it's your decision to make. I give this game as high of a rating because I think it truly is one of a kind game. Yes I think if you listed every IP in this game you probably get more pages then there is in the bible but also this game deserves it! Like the fever dream the game is nowadays is thanks to the fundamentals laid out years ago. To the amazing addition of a permanent No build mode that's balanced separately to build for helping get those that weren't so into building. Not everybody can crank 90s (I got older and stopped caring about trying to crank 90s and my fingers thank epic games for adding no build) and fortnite gives u the option to not be the cracked kids you see clips of. What an amazing casual experience and with the skill ceiling of a good competitive game Fortnite has it all. The industry was changed forever after this game and there is so little games you can say that about.
