OG Fortnite Review

The Ups and Downs of OG Fortnite

The ups and downs of OG Fortnite

The long-awaited return of OG Fortnite is finally back for the second time, but this time, it
is here to stay. When the OG season left after the first return, fans started demanding for it to
come back as soon as possible, and thankfully it seems they got their wish. It is the ultimate
feeling of nostalgia going all the way back to the very beginning, to the creation of Fortnite in
2017, and so far it has not disappointed. While this return has brought a tremendous amount of
excitement to returning players, not everyone is feeling the same way.

The return of the OG season of Fortnite has brought back all of the older features that
players missed, and this time it actually went back even further before the game really took off.
This classic experience includes the beloved original map with fan-favorite POIs like Retail Row,
Greasy Grove and Salty Springs. Alongside the classic map, the loot pool has so many excited
players looking for the familiar favorites, the Scar and original Pump, to give them that edge to
win the game.

The pros of OG Fortnite’s return

The return of all of the familiar items, locations, and weapons is a trip down memory lane
for all players who started in Fortnite’s early season. The cherished memories alone are enough to bring an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia to any player returning for this season. OG
Fortnite is all about going back to the basics without any complicated features that could
confuse new players. This style appeals to both veteran and new players alike who want to
experience the very beginning of the rise of Fortnite. Player engagement has seen a jump as
well with the return of OG Fortnite due to the return of the old map and gameplay that we all
know and love. Streamers and influencers that left Fortnite have come flocking back to make
their original content of the classic experience and the ones that stayed the whole time are
having the time of their lives going back to where they found their passion for content creation.
The community response has been overwhelmingly positive, with so many players thankful for
the permanent return or for their first experience that they missed out on.

The cons of OG Fortnite’s return

While most of the reviews have been positive, not everyone feels the same way. Bringing back
older content in games can sometimes delay it from creating new and fresh ideas and feeling
repetitive. Without the creation of new content, players can get bored and start to look for other
games to play. In the current state of OG Fortnite, some players are saying it feels repetitive if
you were around for the original season and the OG Fortnite return last year and going back to
old loot and locations reduce how much fun they have. Many balance issues have also arisen
with this return, trying to mesh the older and newer playstyles into the new mechanics the
game has added over the years. Numerous players have complained about wanting everything
more original, stating they want the old movement and building system, as that is what the
original map had. Also, because of these newer mechanics, there is a very noticeable skill gap
between returning players and the players that never left, and the only fix Fortnite has for that is
the controversial addition of skill-based matchmaking. Then, there is also the problem of the
lack of decent loot in this current state of OG Fortnite. Most of the time finding any shields is
exceedingly rare, and without having shields, it is pretty much game over if you come up against
a competent player that happens to have a shield. The newer players are not used to this style
and try to reduce the skill gap by playing the Zero Build mode only to find out the map was not
made with Zero Build in mind, and the environment is extremely unforgiving if you find yourself
out of position. There are problems with any new addition to any game, but with Fortnite’s track
record, I am confident these issues will be resolved in the seasons to come in OG Fortnite

.
Conclusion

The return of OG Fortnite was long awaited, and so far it has delivered on the promise of
nostalgia and fun. There will be many pros and cons with any new content added, but I believe
Fortnite did what the players wanted, and they can continue to evolve and please both new and
returning players alike. What are your thoughts on the return of OG Fortnite? Did it deliver
everything you thought it would be, or is it time for it to stay a cherished memory and move on to
something new?
