I was sceptical of this one. LEGO Fortnite launched as a mode inside Fortnite and I expected it to feel like a bolt-on rather than its own game. It is more developed than that. The shared world survival loop, gathering materials, building shelters, pushing into harder biomes together, is genuinely engaging and accessible in a way that most survival games are not. My kids can play it, which tells you something about the onboarding. The Switch version does show some strain in busier areas, and the live-service structure means you are depending on ongoing support, but as a free starting point for co-op survival exploration on Switch, it is hard to argue with the price.
