Ep 3. Fortnite and Dusk

Zero Punctuation season 12 episode 3 features two games - Fortnite and Dusk. The episode starts with a review of Fortnite, a popular battle royale game. The host, Yahtzee, mentions that he has never played a battle royale game before and explains the basic concept of the game, where 100 players fight against each other until only one remains. He praises the game's smooth gameplay and mechanics, particularly the building aspect that allows players to construct structures for cover. However, he criticizes the game's cartoony graphics and the frequency of updates that tend to disrupt the game's balance.

Moving on to Dusk, a retro-style first-person shooter, Yahtzee lauds the game's impressive use of low-poly graphics and old-school gameplay. He explains the game's plot, which involves a cult that has taken over a remote town, and the player's objective of stopping them. He also approves of the game's level design and the use of secrets and hidden areas. However, he criticizes the game's difficulty level, which he finds too easy and lacking in replay value.

Yahtzee concludes the episode with a comparison between the two games, pointing out the contrasting styles and gameplay mechanics. He notes that while Fortnite may be more popular among the masses, Dusk may appeal more to the niche audience who appreciate retro aesthetics and challenging gameplay.

Throughout the review, Yahtzee injects his trademark humor and sarcastic wit, making the episode an enjoyable watch for both fans of the games and those unfamiliar with them. The review provides a balanced assessment of the pros and cons of each game and offers a fair comparison between the two.
