Parent reviews for Fortnite

I am A Parent and I am Also a gamer, so this will not be a biased review,

Yes the game is good, its cartoony and not too violent, This game comes from the same company who brought you unrealt tournament a game notorious for turning your opponent into red chunk pieces of meat and scattering them all over the map,

They have done well to appeal to an age bracket, i will say 13+ because any child younger than this is going to have a serious rage complex,

To parents, if you dont want to suffer in the future moderate your childs time on the game, Also do some research into making their profile private and also into blocking voice communications if you are afraid of grooming, do not be nieve over this, there is swearing from the voice comms, dont be an idiot, research into protecting your child online, moderate their time on the game, dont use it as a baby sitter.

Do not let your kid rob your bank account for skins on the game its not worth it and they can be earned through loot boxes.

It’s a game that does have guns and grenades etc but done in a very cartoonish style with no blood or gore. Building and strategy elements are great and bottom line it’s fun and funny. Just make sure to turn off chat and it’s perfect.

I wasted my money buying skins and in game items that I’m not going to get to use anymore because they banned my controller setup from being used and I get kicked out of every single match I join in. So not only am I out money for my gaming mouse, keyboard and Max one shooter but I’m also out all the money I’ve spent on this and don’t get to play anymore. They told me no refunds on anything.

Your child will get addicted easily if you don’t limit their time. I say from 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes.

This game is family friendly and fun. At first I was hesitant to let my son play this game but now I realize it is completely harmless. The game is a bit complicated but is relatively simple once you get hang of the controls for building and playing. The only reason I say this should be 8 and up is the mild cartoon violence and the difficulty of play. The skills needed to succeed in this game is accuracy, quick thinking, and the ability to accept defeat.

Great game for children maybe 9+. There is violence, but it is cartoon violence, and there is no blood or gore involved! There is nothing wrong about it, and is a great game to play. One quick word of advice, though, it is EXTREMELY addictive.

Fortnite has 2 modes, save the world which is PvE and battle royale which is PvP. But if your child is saying that he or she wants fortnite they most likely mean battle royale. Many parents say they despise the game considering it involves guns,but that’s not what’s effecting the kids. The problem is the game is so addictive. When a kid plays fortnite they get an adrenaline rush and this rush makes them focused. Then it’s time to get off and then they don’t seem to find anything to give them that rush, so it’s all boring until they get back on fortnite. Then again fortnite is a great game for friends to play together and just have fun surviving and winning. So if you don’t like the guns, be glad your child isn’t begging you for a game that’s much worse like GTA or Wolfenstein.

My 11 year old nephew loves to play this game, he'll burn consoles for it. It's very addictive and you can battle with people from all over the world, as long as children don't give out ANY contact information. The game though seems to inspire a mischievous or impatient nature. And you're mainly shooting things and I'm concerned whether it's possibly engaging an intoxicating emotional drive that could thrill young ones into an obnoxious or worse violent nature. Thats what i think. It's something to keep an eye on in a child. Also they may want to binge watch the Fortnite Youtubers who tend to swear.

Look, this game IS a shooting game, but it is a toned down version. No gore, no cursing. The way many other parents describe this game are stupid. Some parents describe it as “a game where you are going around shooting others with a realistic gun in hope that you win.” Describing it like that makes it seem as if the game is 18+ but it’s not, it’s 12+. To prove my point, let me describe Minecraft (I have nothing wrong with the game but I’m making a point) : You are a person who walks around destroying the environment, slaughtering animals for your own needs and slicing through other players with a sword.

See? Minecraft is a 7+ game yet the way I described it makes it seem like an 18+ game. Also Roblox. In Roblox you play multiple different games. There are horror games, shooting games, slicing games, murder games, and when you are sliced or shot at, your body explodes into several pieces! A great game for kids!

Fortnite’s original game is the “Save the World PVE Campaign” which you have to buy because it’s the original game. Battle Royale is merely just an online version of the game. There was a review that said that there was a €150 version of this game but that isn’t the exact truth. In return for your €150, you get the original €30 game and many in game items along with v-bucks (the currency of the game). If you hadn’t paid €150 and instead paid the normal €30, all those items you didn’t buy will cost extra. The €150 is a deal, NOT a version.

I think that many parents don’t understand the concepts of games so they look to in debt into the game and end up describing it as a game that isn’t for children. Games are not meant to be looked incredibly far into.

So Fortnite is a great game. I respect others opinions but I think they word them differently and try to understand the game more.
