Transfiguring Adoption’s Overview:
The most common type of game play that you will see everyone play is called Battle Royale, which is a 3rd person shooter, and in this mode you can choose to team up with up to 3 other players or play as a single player in a world PVP (Person Vs. Person) match. Now, if you are on a team, then you cannot hurt the other players on your team and with the different mechanics of the game, it offers a creative solution to bonding. This game does also have violence in it, so be prepared to discuss this with your child and make sure before anything else they are not triggered by physical fighting with weapons, guns, and death.
Fortnite is definitely a team game which requires a reasonable amount of communication for your team, no matter which console you decide to use. This helps children who have trauma build up their confidence, social skills, hand-eye coordination, and even offers a creative solution to bond with their new foster or forever families. There is no age limit for this game, nor should there be as it is designed to be stimulating and interesting (which to be honest is why so many families play together).
Fortnite is available on all consoles, computers, and now even on mobile devices, which makes for easy access, and this means as a family you have many different ways to sit down and connect with your children, and trust, me even if you ask a bunch of questions, they will normally be happy to answer. If you have a second video game console or computer, ask them to show you how to play and compliment their outfits they have earned. This would be a great first step for a teenager or a child who just loves to play video games. Fortnite is, and I believe, will continue to be one of the top free to play games in the world for a long time to come.
