Fortnite: What's the big deal anyway?

If you are wondering why such a fuss is being made on the videogame, Fortnite, that your kids are probably begging you to play, you've come to the right place!

Fortnite is an amazing game, created by Epic Games in 2017. This videogame took the world by storm, especially in 2018. With 6 incredible seasons of content, Fortnite is constantly updating it's gameplay.

Fortnite is a shooter game, however, the gameplay is PlayerVsPlayer, and unlike the 17+ rated games you get for Xbox, Fortnite gameplay is treated as if it's a paintball game. Why?

• The word 'kill' is not in it's vocabulary.
• There is no blood, and death (or, as the game calls it, elimination) is not drawn out. Instead, players go back to their lobbies in a flash of blue light.
• Guns are pretty sci-fi looking.

Fortnite is entirely free on Xbox One, PS4, Mobile, PC and Mac. However, in-app purchases enhance the players looks, and mining weapons.
