CurtisBuilds – Lego Fortnite vs Minecraft!

Hello and welcome back to the channel so could Lego fortnite be the new Minecraft I think it actually could this game came out a few days ago and what better company to make this game than epic themselves they are without a doubt one of the best game devs and Publishers out

There they always make good quality gaming content now many of you already know my love for survival sandbox games and any game that has creative building in general it is literally my jam so naturally I do enjoy Minecraft it’s a game I haven’t played in a while now and

I used to do videos for Minecraft back in the day but this game honestly I think it is a lot better than Minecraft the only difference is Minecraft has more content for now so epic decided to delve into the Minecraft sandbox style world of gaming with Lego fortnite and

Boy is this game an absolute treat to start things off you have to build a village and place a village marker down where new NPCs can turn up and want to live in your village to which you need to build them houses and give them their

Own bed to stay in and once an NPC becomes a resident you can give them jobs to do and send them off to farm materials for you which is great because you can essentially set them up to supply your village with materials or get them to run things in your village

While you’re off farming and exploring you have to upgrade your village marker as you progress through the game and this unlocks more stuff to build with more items to make more tools standard stuff really so let’s talk about exploring the biomes and the map are absolutely gorgeous and farming in this

Game is as you’d expect punching things picking things up from the ground Gathering from resource nodes with tools again all the standard stuff and as you progress through the game you need to upgrade tools to farm better resources exploring the caves is awesome you have a good mix of materials to farm enemies

To fight and things to find for example there are chests scattered around and hidden in the caves and you have to work out how to get to them either by free building to reach them or work out ways around the environment which are sometimes blocked and require a higher

Grade tool to break down the caves themselves are just Fant fantastic I wasn’t expecting much to be honest with you especially in the early level caves I thought when you reach the higher level caves is when it’ll be like massive and loads to do but even the

Lower level caves they’re huge me and my friend are still exploring some of the previous caves we’ve visited already and there’s just so much to do in there let’s talk about combat the combat in this game is actually really fun the feedback from the game is great and

There are some really hard mobs that you can encounter again me and my friend came across this poison lizard Godzilla looking thing that beat us up so the mobs definitely get harder and we haven’t seen the hardest mobs yet cuz there’s probably way harder in the different biomes and caves but it will

Require you to have better weapons as you progress through the game it’s very similar to Minecraft and the fact that at night which looks absolutely beautiful by the way all the skeletons and nasty start coming out I haven’t seen any zombies yet but I’m sure there

Will be or they’ll be added to the game in a future update but overall the combat is 10 out of 10 it’s very fluid the feedback is great and I like the weapons in the game let’s talk about building the building in this game is hands down

10 out of 10 it’s very fun and there is multiple options when building firstly you can build pre-built blueprints of which there are a decent amount to choose from and you unlock more as you progress through the game upgrading your village level secondly you can freebuild your own structures with all the parts

Available in the game when building with blueprints you simply snap the items to their area in stages and the snap in great as well and at the final step you have a complete build ready for interior decoration and Furnishing when freeb building you can build and attach to pre-built structures allowing for more

Creativity or just build something new from scratch something which I plan to do and make content of for this channel so subscribe and stay tuned for that also free building is really helpful especially when you’re in the caves or exploring to get to hard to reach places so just placing like Foundation blocks

Down and jumping all the way up and the things you’ll be able to build in this game with free build are Limitless at this point the only thing that we’re going to have to wait for is for them to add more content to the game in terms of building materials with you know

Different color options different variety of blocks all that good stuff quite exciting to think about actually let’s talk about crafting crafting in this game is again pretty standard you need to build your typical workbenches and lumber Mills Etc you then go on to farm raw materials and convert said materials into other

Materials which then allow you to craft items and tools that you need to improve your gear your weapons and the village overall the crafting system is very easy to use and follow so it’s very beginner friendly and as standard you can then upgrade all the crafting benches further

Which then unlock better items better tools better weapons so it’s all one big grindy progress system really which again is typical in sandbox survival games but the crafting system works really well and I can’t wait to see what future updates hold for this and what else they’ve got in store for us so

Finally let’s talk about the survival aspects of the game naturally you have health and you have to eat due to hunger the elements are against you so rain can make you cold and damage you and I’ve even seen thunderstorms and the lightning strike in the ground and you

Best hope it don’t hit you cuz that stuff can one shot nighttime is dangerous as explained before but the survival aspects of this game are your typical stox style and very similar to Minecraft the animals in the game give you items but you need to pet them first

Then you can kill them after for the meat you don’t tame animals in this game you have to lure them to your farm with food but my animals keep disappearing when I log back into the game so potentially there’s a bug there also there are no mounts like horses yet but

I’m confident that features like this like having livestar and mounts will all come to this game very soon it’s very early days at the moment but I think there is a lot that needs to come to the game and will come to the game and as I

Said before I’m just really excited to see where this game goes because as it stands I think this could be the new Minecraft it’s a very very fun game and everything just feels so much better when compared comparing it to Minecraft we just need to start seeing the content

Drop and potentially a road map of what’s to come with the game but overall this game is 10 out of 10 I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as what it is but if you like sandbox survival style games and you like Minecraft and Roblox you’ll love this game I originally

Thought it was going to be fortnite but just Lego style and it’s the complete opposite it’s literally Minecraft anyways thanks for watching this video let me know in the comments if you’re playing this game already and what you like about it and what you want to see

Added to the game I’m definitely going to be doing a lot of content on this with a lot of free build content so stay tuned for some crazy builds and talking to staying tuned hit that subscribe button like and share this video and I’ll see you next time bye-bye
