STILL PLAYING

Fortnite Switch The new Soaring 50s mode makes for a refreshing change for the necessarily clunky Fortnite. While the 50v50 setup ensures the real fight begins quickly, the ‘soaring’ component means rounds play out like cartoonish Titanfall skirmishes. The sense of momentum is uncharacteristically sublime, as we chain grapples, bounces and glides to fling ourselves in and out of danger at speed, elusive as a buttered stoat. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp iOS With 2019’s Switch instalment miles off, we return to find Nintendo’s maligned iOS excursion has come along quite nicely since launch. There’s a garden to tend, and fishing tournaments to participate in. Even the animals feel less like soulless material-vending machines, referencing real-world events such as the Harvest Moon appearing in the sky. The new fortune cookie system is odious, though, a masterpiece of crooked RNG and sky-high premium Leaf Ticket price tags. Crazy Redd would be proud. Destiny 2: Forsaken PS4 What do you mean, we can’t write about a game in this bit when the review appears in the same issue? Destiny is back, which means Still Playing is about to get a bit boring again. Apologies in advance.
