Played this for the first time last night. The game has come up a few times in recent reading (including the news that Unreal Engine and its independent version for Fortnite will be merged into a single engine for UE6), so it’s been on my mind. I didn’t know much about it apart from what I’ve (inevitably) absorbed through cultural osmosis.
Without much thought, I booted it up on the PS5 and jumped into the Star Wars-themed ‘Droid Tycoon’. After a little while, my wife joined in on her iPad. Hours flew by. I can see how this becomes addictive… The tone and aesthetics have never appealed to me, but when playing with someone you know, it can be unexpectedly amusing (in a gleefully cringeworthy sort of way).
Although I’m not particularly interested in Battle Royale, I should give it a try at some point, if only to know what it’s all about.
