You harvest them with a pick-axe (because why not?), which really only makes sense for the stone. The later come in three primary flavours: wood, stone, and metal. The over-the-shoulder third-person shooting is pretty slick, as is the movement – which is handy, as you’ll spend a lot of time gunning or slicing down husks and charging around the mission area looking for secrets, survivors, and gathering resources. The classes, militant Soldier, quick-building Constructor, stabby Ninja, and loot-happy Outlander, are all diverse enough to add lots of play options, especially when you consider that they also come in various sub-classes with different skills and stats. Sadly, it really is all the motivation we need – because Fortnite, once you pick apart its various mesh-like systems, is lots of fun. Instead we’re just told to keep them off the objective and kill them in their hundreds in the hope that this is all the motivation we need. As with many – many – modern zombie scenarios, we’re not given an awful lot of information about where the husks came from or what they want. Regardless, the only way to stop them is to build ever more elaborate forts with multiple levels and all manner of inventive booby traps designed to keep the husks at bay. But, look, if they touch you enough you die, and they walk around wearing their former faces as hoods so we know they’re to be avoided. Or possibly turn the unsuspecting into more husks. Since a devastating super-storm wiped out 98% of the Earth’s population, the survivors have been forced to band together to defeat the Husks, shambling zombies who emerge from the storm to eat the unsuspecting. Instead, it was a base-building, wave-based tower defence game featuring cartoonish visuals and co-op gameplay. Now it’s finally here, those eyebrows are no less arched, but at least we’ve got a better idea of what it is. From Epic and People Can Fly, here was another game that, inexplicably, was not Bulletstorm 2 (still waiting, peeps, still waiting). I remember when Fortnite was first announced a few years ago, and you could barely hear the hype for the sound of all those eyebrows cocking at once.
