Overview
Daniel returned to playing Fortnite after a hiatus of approximately two years, having initially approached the game with skepticism before playing daily in 2018 across smartphones, the Nintendo Switch, and a laptop.
Critiques of Fortnite centered on time wasted in lobbies, during the bus drop, and when restarting after early deaths without loot, balanced by praise for the game being free and featuring additions such as drivable cars, trucks, helicopters, fishing, charged shotguns, and healing food.
Daniel shifted between primary games, moving across Mario Kart and Mortal Kombat before returning to Fortnite, and expressed a desire for a Grand Theft Auto release on the Nintendo Switch.
