A hard to review game since it's always changing - but that might be one of its greatest strengths. A genuinely fun experience that constantly changes and evolves not just in the Battle Royale department, but across other modes as well.
It might have popularized the Battle Pass trend, which has become tired across numerous titles, but its pass has remained the best. 8 full cosmetic sets plus 1500 vbucks (500 more than it costs to aquire, meaning that a single purchase of the pass could set you for life) is quite a deal.
The gameplay of Battle Royale hardly gets old, and with cross platform play for every modern gaming system, it's the perfect game to play with friends. Whether you just want to goof off with the lighthearted and at times silly nature of the game, or genuinely try to win it will often offer a very good time. Getting a "Victory Royale" is always a hype moment regardless of how many times you've done it before.
The only complaint I could muster is that it, like many live service games, is very reliant on FOMO. Battle pass items are season exclusive, and many people have that one thing they missed out on. The item shop also employs FOMO, with some items not returning for over a thousand days which prompts people to purchase rarer items the moment they return. Not the biggest deal, but certainly one that keeps the game from perfection.
