Fortnite

Fortnite is a multiplayer survival and battle royale game that features powerful weapons, wacky items, and tons of popular characters. By being one of the first battle royale games, Fortnite gained a lot of popularity early on and has managed to keep that success rolling with subsequent updates and patches. Whether you're defending your base in the underrated story mode or taking on other squads in the 100-player battle royale mode, Fortnite is perfect for some fun with friends or solo stress relief. If you haven't tried out Fortnite yet, you're missing out!

Main Game Features

• Survive against endless hordes of enemies
• Fight for victory in addictive battle royale
• Create your own experiences and levels

Story

Fortnite's main story mode is called “Save the World”, and in it, you and up to three other friends battle against hordes of mindless husks that threaten the planet. After a giant storm spreads over the Earth and causes most of the world population to disappear, it's up to you and your pals to defend your home and discover the truth about the storm while slowly building up supplies and weaponry. There are a variety of missions to complete, often giving you a few minutes to prepare your defenses before enemies rush in. Unfortunately, the Save the World mode hasn't received many updates since it was originally released, so the gameplay feels a bit less refined than in the battle royale mode. However, Save the World is still a fun time for those players who would rather work together than fight against other teams.

Gameplay

The big star of Fortnite is its battle royale mode, which pits 100 players against each other on a massive island that changes every few months. Like in other battle royale games like PLAYERUNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS and Apex Legends, players land on the island with no weapons except for their pickaxe, and must gather items and resources before taking on any opponents. There are often dozens of unique areas to explore, ranging from cities and suburbs to ancient temples and mysterious bunkers. As you gather building materials, you can quickly construct small structures for protection or tactical advantage, with tons of depth to the building mechanics. Every week, the game is updated, often bringing new weapons, locations, and items to use. Battle Royale is playable in solo, duos, trios, and squads modes, letting you customize the size of your team.

If you're more interested in expressing your creativity than eliminating enemies, there's also an expansive Creative mode that lets players craft their own modes and maps. With a bustling community of creators, there are tons of custom creations to play with, including puzzle maps, cooperative adventures, and obstacle courses. Even if you're not interested in the core third-person shooting mechanics, there's probably a custom Fortnite experience you'll enjoy.

Conclusion

Overall, Fortnite is one of the best multiplayer games available right now, thanks to its constant updates, the vast assortment of customization options, and solid third-person gameplay. The inclusion of building mechanics sets the game apart, while the rotating arsenal of guns and items always keeps the game fresh.
