I too enjoyed Fornite right from launch until season 7-8 when it felt like the same over and over.
I still play it and more so recently because of the amazing star wars event it had including the release of iconic character skins and emotes š Being Kylo Ren in there with a Lightsaber is something I never thought would happen.
Apex provides me with the joy and excitement I need in fast pace games with the addition of being able to use my skill to show off how good I am. Taking down a whole squad while your teammates touch eachother in a corner gives me a good feeling, until I continue to do it over and over and eventually hop off.
Both games are awesome but only in certain areas. Apexs is fun to jump in and overall just play and enjoy but lacks cosmetics that I wish it had more of, the release of new finishers would help a lot or allowing the purchase of common items through the free currency we earn.
Fornites cosmetics and emotes blows it outta the park but the gameplay itself is still the same since when I stopped playing. The difference now is more players know how to utilize it vs just building a wall to stop a few bullets. Going up against someone who sweats at the first shot is not appealing to me.
