Fortnite Review (2024)

Fortnite reviewed by Charlie Wacholz on Xbox Series X, also available on Xbox One, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Mobile. No matter which version of Fortnite’s battle royale shooter you prefer, Epic Games makes sure that there’s always something on the horizon waiting for you, both in or out of a match. Whether it’s the enticing glow and heavenly hum of a treasure chest full of loot, the faraway glint of an opponent’s sniper scope on a ridge, a sports car in your favorite color, or an exciting quest to complete, you’d have to try to get bored while playing. Epic’s dedication and support have made Fortnite one of the best-maintained ongoing multiplayer games out there as well – even when a new weapon or seasonal direction occasionally feels like a dud, there’s usually something great around the corner to even it out. It’s rare to see a game on this scale constantly experiment, take risks, and have so much fun with itself. And while its goofy, over-the-top crossovers with beloved games, movies, and TV shows more often bring a whiff of corporate synergy with them, it’s undeniably cool to squad up with friends as your favorite characters and compete for that sweet Victory Royale. #IGN #Gaming #Fortnite
