Hands on!
So far, I have been extremely impressed with Fortnite, and it's hooked me far more than I initially thought.
A big reason for why I love it so much is just how well it's produced. It looks and feels like an AAA console game — and that's hard to do on mobile. In addition, Epic Games took its time to really think about how mobile gamers play games, then built the game with on-the-go experiences in mind. I love that.
