My 12 year old son LOVES Fortnite. We let him play because he enjoys connecting and playing with classmates (like a virtual playdate). What could be wrong? A lot.It is horribly addictive - more so than many other games.

We found ourselves in constant battles with our child because he couldn't just turn it off when his screen time was up (he was always in the middle of a battle). So we limited Fortnite to Saturdays only, but he was always sneaking off to play. So, we changed all the passwords. My son figured out the new password and we found him on the computer at 4am.Of course kids want more screen time, but there is something different about Fortnite.
My son is acting like a drug addict-sneaking onto my phone to see if he can find where I stored the password.getting up in the middle of the night to play. It's absolutely awful.Even if you are okay with your child(ren) having unlimited screen time, I would still caution against Fortnite. Kids can communicate with complete strangers, and it is easy for someone to earn a child's trust by trading equipment or giving desired items.Finally, the in app purchases are so tempting to kids. I let my son use my credit card to purchase the game and, without realizing it, he had soon charged additional 'emotes' and 'skins' to my card. I had to ask my credit card company to block any charges to this merchant to ensure it doesn't happen again.This game might be fun for kids, but it creates too many issues. I wish we had never allowed him to play it in the first place, and I would caution parents against letting their kids have access.
Although this game is cartoonish and doesn't have gore it does encourage people to shoot other innocent people. You can shoot them in the head. The goal is to 'kill' all the people on the other team. You can partner with your friends but you are still killing other people just like you. To say that it's ok for any kid under 18 to spend long periods of time strategizing how they will kill others around them is not a great statement. I have kids from 6-15 who have played this game on and off and all ages spend most of their time talking about it off line as well. While teaching Latin camp I had a class full of kids who while creating skits, centered them around the killing and attacks in this game.
It was sad to see such smart kids waste their creativity on killing their friends. I really want to encourage you not to be fooled into thinking this is a harmless game. Hey there, gamers, parents, and other people in dout, im a middle schooler, and I would like to share my opinion. And give all those parents out there a HEADS UP about what to do.If you are a GAMER, you probably think that i'm writing a review because i'm 'mad' that I haven't gotten a 'victory royal' and writing to complain. Thats not what i'm doing.For PARENTS, I myself, used to be a fortnite player (big mistake). It made my parents crazy and my little brother started asking for guns and if he could play it too. You may think it is a great way for your children to make connections with other kids and to learn to be more their age but the truth is, it is rated 13 years up and older for a reason.
If your child is not on SOLO, people around the world will be able to speak to him and use bad words. Everyone I know that plays this game, is more of a swearer than ever before. I myself noticed that I started to use a variety of swear words.
You can prevent this behavior by not letting them play fortnite. Another thing is that this game creates major addictions and temper. My best friend, plays fortnite to this day. We used to do outside things and now when I go over, all he does is fortnight. He yells and screams when he dies and I know that a lot of players do this as well.Yes, your child may talk you into playing it and convince you that it is a good thing but you will regret it.
The game also includes a series of different guns. NOT FICTIONAL GUNS!! Semi autos, AR15's, and so many more.If you want your child to be more interactive with the world by games, I recommend Roblox, and Minecraft. They can safely connect with other kids without the worry of guns and swearing.:). This game is what others say it is, it is guns, no blood, cartoonish. But it is highly addictive.
It is like other games designed that way. We have to regulate our 17 yr old son's time spent on thos garbage. Otherwise, he would play for hours on end. If I thought I had a case, I would sue the developers of this garbage for the strife it causes in our household and for the time that is wasted on this game. Do not allow your child to start playing this game.
You will see first hand how addictive it becomes for kids of all ages. Tonight for the second time since I heard this game out there I walked in my sons room to find him highly upset. When i questioned him about it he had told me that the kids in his group were telling him to go kill himself and hang his self. Now keep in mind that these other kids are no older then 10-12 playing. I got on his ear piece and could hear these children cussing and calling names to my son.
I then interviened on the conversation letting them know that wasnt acceptable language foe kids much less to speak to anyone. So these little kids begain to call me the b word and other obscene language.
So basically this tells me that their parents dont monitor what they play or how they speak to any person. These little imp of children thought they were cool enough to speak to an adult and cyber bully another child. So i dont recommend this game to other younger kids especially ones who think violence is an awesome thing. If your child is a kid who acts out and show violent tenancy then i dont recommend this for them. I would agree with others about the age range - 13-14+ is right in my opinion.
The violence is less of an issue for than the constant in-app purchase lures the game uses to suck money out of kids (let’s face it, most of the players are kids). My sons are both showing signs of addiction to it, willing to forgo many other previously enjoyed activities in order to play. They will beg and plead for money for skins (new outfits) that don’t give any play benefits other than being cool with their friends.The social aspects are the only redeeming feature as my sons do have fun chats with their friends while playing. But the overall “cost” makes me rue the day we let this into our house. We are now strategizing how to get rid of it. My advice, don’t let it in your house.
My kids have basically stopped playing all their other games.Also, the specialization of female characters should have no place in a modern game and certainly not one being played by teens and preteens. You’d think the game designers would grow up and see the society we live in now.
A Child can unknowingly spend hundreds of dollars on this 'free' game that is designed to be addicting and pull as much money out of you and your child as possible. This is all from a partially completed game. Expect more theft when the game is complete. Many other logical parents have stressed the dangers of children being exposed to violence and other players verbally abusing your children. So, all in all, you should keep this video game from your children and protect them from evils like this.(This review is satire and is a representation of the reviews that can be commonly found on this website. While it is true that cases such as the ones said in the review do happen, they are more so a product of children stealing their parent's credit card information or the parent giving it to their irresponsible children.).
This is a violent game. 100 players on an island until all are killed. Many Negative Effects on children and players. Harmful for developing social and emotional well-being. Desensitizes violence. Develops an egotistic view to eliminate all but self. Increases crying and tantrums.
Designed to be addictive and fun to play with friends, dances, build forts while killing people. Free Internet game available to any age. Beware: Is your kid doing homework or sleeping. Playing FortNite? A safe community is important to us delete this game asap!
My kid raved about a game called Fornite and convinced us to let him have it and play. Shortly after allowing him, we realized his behavior changed to him being really angry, upset, defiant and rude. Not to mention, he became disobedient.
A friend later asked me to check what World Health Organization had to say about it and yes Fornite could lead to Gaming Disorder as per WHO.The World Health Organisation (WHO) has, for the first time, recognised “gaming disorder” – compulsive and obsessive playing of video games – as a diagnosable condition. It's funny how people are so quick to condemn games that involve guns because it's apparently inappropriate for children yet you encourage them to choose what sex they want to be before they're even old enough to know what the hell is going on!
Worry less about what YOU want your child to be or how YOU want them to act and focus more on what is RIGHT for them. Let them have fun!
Teach them right from wrong and stop relying on society to do it for you and your problem is solved. My son has played games like halo and titanfall since he was 2. That's right he started at 2. And he is the kindest most considerate kid I have ever met. Why is that you ask?
Because I teach him what is right and wrong. Maybe you guys should try that sometime. Unless of course your too busy to properly raise your own childeren. The game has cartoonish violence and the female characters are sexualized but my problem lies with the teens and adults who become so addicted to this sad excuse for a game that they literally have NO life outside of the darned game.
This game is themed to the chase sequence from Thomas and the Magic Railroad. Blocksworld thomas and the magic railroad.

My fiance's nephew who is 19 years old stays holed up in his room 24/7 playing this on his XBox One and even lost his job because he would rather play this than socialize with people. He was living independently but due to losing his job and his boyfriend kicking him out (he is bi) he moved back in with his mother and plays Fortnite all day and all night only stopping to eat or take bathroom breaks but he's gotten really scrawny because he would rather play it than eat. Because of witnessing the regression of a 19 year old I can't recommend this one at all. And this is coming from a woman who doesn't mind videogames and actually enjoys playing games as long as it doesn't interfere with living a healthy life and maintaining healthy relationships and work. This game can and most likely WILL become so addicting that your child or teen won't have a life outside of the game. Let them play some other game, anything else but this. Go old school and get Resident Evil where there's actual zombies, limited multi player, and actual substance or if you want something less gory just do Roblox, Minecraft, Pokemon Quest, or Animal Crossing Pocket Camp.
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.
How to do a video board game right
A short preface to the ratings to explain what you're doing here:
In Battle Hunter, four people have been hired to go into a dangerous dungeon to get a target item. Several boxes are scattered about the dungeon when you start - go and grab them, any loot you get is either the target item (in which case you get paid for it and it's removed from your inventory) or something you can sell for profit. There is also a randomly-placed exit: step on that without the item and you'll get transported to a different random point in the dungeon, but if you do have the target item the round is over. Getting the target item doesn't necessarily make you the winner, there are also bonuses for moving around, collecting flags, fighting things and getting other items (though they're 1/5 as valuable, point-wise).
Graphics: 6/10
The graphics are nothing special, but they get the job done. Not a whole lot else to say except that it would have been nice for enemies to have monsters with some depiction on the map aside from green diamonds (regular) or an orange diamond (the dreaded GON).
Sound: 10/10
I actually went and found the soundtrack for this online so I could listen to the music when I wasn't playing. Yes, I like it that much. If you play this game, make sure that at least once you leave it on the starting menu so you can listen - once the strange sizzle-hiss goes away, it really is some pretty nice music. The sound effects are serviceable, but the music is really, really good.
Addictiveness: 10/10
Ever played Settlers of Catan? Perhaps Monopoly? This is kind of like that - if you enjoy it, then you'll keep coming back to it over and over again. Either single player or with friends, I played this a *lot*.. it has procedurally generated levels so you never have to do exactly the same thing twice, and you can design a new character - more on that in the Depth section.
Story: 5/10
There is a story to this game. It progresses approximately whenever you increase your character's stats.. which is to say, not really often. It's an okay story, played out as a series of conversations, but the missions you do to collect things kind of fit in so it isn't too bad. Primarily this is a board game, so having any story is kind of impressive.
Depth: 9/10
This is what makes the game so interesting, considering it's a low-budget board game for the PS1. You actually get to assign stat points yourself - 3 points for movement bonus, 1 per attack, 2 per defense and 1 for 3 HP. If you could keep gaining stat points for a while, or indefinitely, I'd rate it 10/10 because it would be neat to see how different builds do as they progress.. but you only get something like 12 or 13 points to spend after character creation. You can also hang onto items you pick up in the dungeon, which will limit how much loot you can carry but in some cases the bonuses are worthwhile - a +3 attack gun, for instance. One other thing keeping me from giving this full credit - the amulet that removes 1 and 2 from the 'dice' rolls. Someone with that kills the fun of multiplayer. Of lesser importance than the overarching progression, but still nice to have, there is the card system and the random monster spawn, both of which help keep the game from getting too lopsided and letting someone who gets ahead stay there all the time. Orange cards will boost your attack, yellow your defense (in combat, if used when moving they *may* negate traps), blue cards boost movement or escape chance if running in battle, and green cards set traps. Setting an 'L' or leg damage trap where someone with a high movement bonus will have to pass can be an extremely effective way to keep them from just escaping. The other traps are 'E', which empties the victim's hand, 'D' to deal damage and 'S' to stun. Just be careful, when all cards have been drawn and someone needs to draw one, GON appears.. it will stop at nothing in its attempt to kill whoever has the target item, and if that happens everyone loses. Other monsters are a slime, a little cleaning bot kind of thing and a security droid, and they will randomly spawn adjacent to a character as they finish moving.
Difficulty: 6/10
The controls can take a bit of getting used to since the view is twisted 45 degrees, but the harder part is that some missions are outright impossible due to the procedural generation putting someone else right next to the target item. That isn't really too bad.. unless it's a story-critical mission. Make sure you save before each of those, you don't want to lose a bunch of progress when the guy you were sent to save gets grabbed and killed on the third turn, sending you to the game over screen.
There are a few tips that may be useful to new players who don't have the manual: the 'rest' option heals some damage and gives you two cards if you can hold them. If you get yourself killed you'll take semi-permanent damage - this is healed at the hospital, until you get that done your maximum HP will be lowered. The price to heal and identify items (necessary to sell or use them) goes up when you gain levels, so if you want to ID some more things you may want to wait.. and if you think you're getting kind of near the end of the story, definitely wait until you think you can gain enough levels all at once for whatever you plan to increase. Then, save and try to get the upgrade, and if you can't get enough points load and assign the point(s) elsewhere! Good luck out there, Hunters. Try not to die too often.

This is a really badass game, shame the max level is only 15 though. You could play this with four people with one controller.

I really REALLY wish this game was on here. I'm super depressed that it's not :'(
