As a die-hard RPG fan, I've always been more at home managing inventory screens and character stats than engaging in frantic shootouts. "Fortnite,"" with its bright colors and frenetic mechanics, had never quite clicked for me. I'd dipped my toes in occasionally, but always found myself drifting back to more familiar gaming territories.
Once constantly played, my Nintendo Switch had begun to gather dust. The call of sprawling open worlds and turn-based combat on other platforms had lured me away from Nintendo's hybrid console. Little did I know that an unexpected update to a game I'd all but written off would not only bring my Switch back to life, but also challenge my preconceptions about what Fortnite could be.
