Is fortnite overrated?
Yes
No, it's rated (E for children). I'm not a big fan of what it became or how inaccurate weapons were but it did offer something new to shooters when it came out with the construction mechanics and it has plenty of skill expression.
The more damning indictment is that something in the industry hasn't displaced it, but it's not like it's any worse than a yearly Modern Warfare or FIFA release.
I'd say an even more damning indictment is that HellDivers gained the popularity it did.
That grind simulator game fucking sucks and is clunky and ugly, but it found success because the market is a trash desert.
