Potentially unpopular opinion: I much preferred the zombie apocalypse objective game that Fortnite was in early access. Now it's just a generic battle royale.

  It’s only generic if you just look at screenshots, beneath the surface it’s not generic at all! There’s really no competitive game like it, where you build your own battlefield in real-time. Each player acts like a level designer, trying to structure the level to give advantages to themselves and disadvantages to their enemies. The fact that Fortnite is popular with kids has blinded most people to the fact that it’s the most strategically interesting competitive game to arrive in ages.

    This was not my experience at all. Building in Fortnite is a race and the gameplay is too frenetic to "design" anything. It's just a matter of building higher, quicker (or farther if you're rushing). After a while you just go through the motions. There is no strategic depth to it and it really detracts from the strategic positioning and obstacle navigation that other BRs have, so IMO it's a net loss.

      I’ll agree. As a somewhat terrible ocational player, some people can build way to fast and they aren’t fun to play against. Fortunately I play squads and that can even the score against these architects.. it’s fun, a little silly and they keep iterating on the game to keep it from going stale .
