5 Incredible Games to Enjoy This Weekend

Available on platforms like PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch, the current challenge in Fortnite invites players to face Godzilla and live to tell the tale!

Lately, I have mixed feelings about Fortnite. It’s not the same game I fell in love with during its incredible first year. Back then, every match was a whirlwind of chaos, comedy, and occasional triumphs, with real players going head-to-head. Today, things feel different. The vibrant spontaneity has been watered down, leaving a lot of bots who simply go through the motions of combat, making it feel as though they’re just there for you to notch up easy wins. The enigmatic and open-to-interpretation storylines have also faded away, replaced by MMORPG-like quests and chatterbox characters that spoon-feed standard gaming narratives. New characters from well-known franchises constantly make their way into the store, which, unfortunately, dilutes what used to be Fortnite’s unique character, making it feel more like a commercial theme park straight out of a Ready Player One-esque world.

Despite all this, Fortnite still draws me in. The tactile sensation of navigating its landscapes never fails to impress: running, sliding, jumping, and climbing is a joy. On rough days, I still find solace in logging in, breezing through daily quests to rack up some quick XP—a distraction I can lose myself in. And there’s no denying the game still knows how to stage an epic spectacle. Right now, it’s bigger than ever with Godzilla taking center stage. Watching a clip of the almighty titan in action, I was struck by the impressive sense of scale and power he brings. This weekend, I can already tell I’m going to be spending more time than usual in Fortnite, eager to glimpse that colossal menace from the vantage point of a tiny human, heart pounding as I flee from something genuinely terrifying. So, if you’re roaming around Fortnite and you happen across me while you’re stomping around as Godzilla, spare me a thought. I’m just a humble player trying to enjoy the thrill—you know, no harm intended! — Carolyn Petit
