Fortnite - PlayStation 4

This game is currently in Open Beta...ish. It is a weird model that Epic Games is working with; In 2018 this game will be Free to Play, right now they are offering paid Beta Access which are also Founders Packs and offer some unique and pretty powerful weapons and heroes to play with. You can purchase the base game at $29.99 and upgrade from within the game and receive some neat DLC and even extra digital copies for friends.ABOUT THE GAMEIt's a very playable/replayable game that is essential Plants Vs Zombies mixed with some Minecraft and Left 4 Dead. You build up your mean headquarters and battle an onslaught of zombies while also completing missions in the world and harvesting resources to rebuild and expand your homebase. If you like building and gunning down zombies this game is for you. I will admit it gets tedious with the harvesting and building structures for every mission, but overall its not a bad game. Might be a bad model to get into though.The learning curve is fairly high as level up heroes, survivors, weapons, traps, and your account will be overwhelming at first but with some help from friendly players, online guides, and taking the time to really understand the game you'll be on your way to crushing skulls in no time. There are plenty of weapons to craft and utilize to complete your missions and various heroes to unlock through Loot Llamas that can be earned ingame or purchased with real money.The real con here is that it is in Beta and there are going to be glitches, bugs, and monetization that people dont agree with. If you are still skeptical about this game I highly suggest watching videos on the gameplay and read Fortnites Forums and Reddit to really grasp the community and vision this game has to offer. Its not really a mess as it is a building block that requires more peoples' feedback on what type of game this will become.

I have read a lot of misleading reviews about not being able to progress in the game due the their being microtransactions. The game, right now, is in an unfinished early access. There are aspects of the game that could be better explained and in time those explanations will likely be implemented. The microtransactiona are better thought of as a "pay to progress faster." You will not be blasting through every mission as quickly as possible, and will not "beat" the game as it is in an unfinished early access right now. The gameplay as it stands is smooth and the graphics are gorgeous. It is not flawless, but there is more to like about the game than there is to dislike. The user interface can be quirky at times and Epic will likely trim some of the fat off of the edges as time goes on and more people play. The early access is worth paying for the game right now rather than waiting for it go to free to play, if you are willing to work through the minor kinks it currently comes with.Edit: I have changed my rating from 4 star to 5 star. I have nothing but good feelings for the future of this game with the patching, updates, and developer updates on a regular basis. I believe it has a brighter future than originally anticipated.

Got this game as it was said to be 4 players and wanted a game to play as a family. Its not. 4player online only, not even 2 players local. Good game play, some difficulty figuring out crafting, pretty fun to play just not what w were wanting.

Yes, the game is still in Beta.Yes, I'm aware I paid $59.99 for a game that will eventually be free.Yes, I can't put this game down.It's a bit of Orcs Must Die, a bit of Dungeon Defenders and a bit of Minecraft. Harvest loot, build weapons, set traps and murder hordes of Husks bent on eating your face.

Fortnite is not finished. Not only is it not finished, it's very difficult to tell that if you buy the retail copy of this game, you're getting an unfinished game. I had no idea it was an "early access" game until I installed a 7GB update file on my PS4 and started playing it. This is a beta being sold at full price. What's worse, when the game comes out it'll be free-to-play. That means that even though I bought a retail copy, I'm going to have to deal with micro-transactions.If their marketing material (or even their page on Amazon.com) made it clear that this is just a packaged beta of a game slotted to officially release next year, I would not have bought it. I feel duped. I feel like I got swindled.
