Parent reviews for Fortnite

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.

After spending hours playing in Fortnite’s free to play battle royale mode, I realized this cartoonish type game has a very interesting design to it. As you explore this unique map, you can see bright green grass and unique characters from dark knights, angry gingerbread men, and happy elves fighting against each other trying to get to victory royale. While on your way trying to survive, to get to victory royale, you may also encounter lots of old bases from people fighting and lots of loot from people that died. Fortnite is a game that people who loves PVP(Player Vs Player) type games would really enjoy playing, and best of all it is free to play. Since Fortnite’s launch in 2011, it has had lots of mixed review, but the game has gotten much better in design and gameplay. A website known as Metacritic gave this game a rating of 74%. Most of the critics think that the free to play aspect of this game is the most interesting part of Fortnite. For people that don’t make a lot of money, this game offers a free to play mode battle royale. As a gamer myself, I have spent lots of money on video games that cost from $60 to $70 depending on what game it is. Based on Fortnite’s free to play battle royale mode, I would rate this game 90 out of 100. Fortnite makes you have a big adrenaline rush when you and someone who is really skilled like the black knight is up against each other to progress to the victory royale. Lots of things are going through your mind as you figure out a way to defeat him. You could take him out with stealth or you can rush and take him out with a rocket launcher or a shotgun. Fortnite has lots of action, and there are many things it offers you to make your gaming experience worthwhile, and really interesting. Another fun aspect about Fortnite is that it allows you to build, unlike other battle royale games like H1Z1 and PUBG. Fortnite’s building feature offers many things that you are able to do like building bases, bridges, stairs, also using it’s building feature to rush another team or player. This cartoonish game like this can be played by anyone of any age, also many parents likes this game because it’s not graphic like all of the other battle royale games are. Some people might think this game is not as good as everyone else thinks, but this game offers many things like a free mode battle royale that is really fun to play,06 so I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys battle royale games.

its not that violent

This game is okay for kids 10+ that is no blood just guns, that's okay I suppose

This game rely's 66% on communication which is extremely difficult to do with someone who is under 16 years of age not to mention the whole game being about killing. Long story short this game simply shouldnt be played by anyone under 16 let alone 8-9 years old as some people are saying.

Ridiculously addictive, children who play become rude and obnoxious.. feel like it controls children. My son very academic and the hold over him it has is worrying. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS PLAY!!!! Most parents from children’s schools and football agree!!!!

This is a fun and exciting game without blood, knives or anything scary. I have no worryes about my 10yearold playing it.

I don’t care what other people think. I think that this game is as harmless as Minecraft. It has very little violence and most of the game is collecting resources and building teamwork and how to work together. I don’t care what people think this game is fine.

For those who think this game is OK for the children under 13, I'm very concerned about the parents' thoughts as a psychologist. I prescreened this game for my boy who's turning 12 because many are already playing since 10 years old and continually asking my boy to join them on line. / I wonder if the parents who said this game is OK for any child under 13 actually watched the entire game with the child in order to see what it's about. / This game's whole purpose is "to find and kill" the others who're trying to LIVE. All of them are using the characters as their avatars which look exactly like human beings and all of them try so hard not to get killed. Though it's not bloody, it's the psychological concept that we, as parents must be concerned about. / 1. These are REAL people who're playing through the Avatars and they WANT TO LIVE. They try everything to survive, therefore, they hide, they fight, and they conceal themselves with their friends. Your child hunt these people down and open the door, dig the bushes to KILL. They're not a fake CPU playing or imaginary images like monsters or ghosts. These are actual people playing in real time with your child. Having NO feeling to shoot these people and slashing them with axes shouldn't be OK to your child, however, the parents say it's OK. Am I the only one concerned about this psychological aspect? 2. They kill you right in front of your face like 1 inch away you. Being killed after trying so hard to get away/hide, your child gets VERY angry. Who wouldn't?? It teaches the child to be bitter and resentful toward other people and the anger drives the child to play more and more, remembering the ID number of the opponent, so that they can kill the person next time. Is this really what we want to teach our children? Revenge and resentment? 3. Whoever made this game using the idea of being angry and resentful towards others who killed them, therefore the users will continually play has unhealthy, greedy drive and has NO concern for our children. They just want to make money using the psychological aspect, which is sickening and ill for our children./ Please think about the concept, not just the animated graphics that are meant to fool you, so that you'll let your child play. We're the parents who must protect our children from this kind of unhealthy psychological game.
