If you’re like me, you might have though Fortnite was a game that only kids play. It’s full of “sweaty” players who randomly run around causing chaos and acting like…well, like a bunch of children with ADHD. And a lot of them are kids.

But a lot of them are not children. A lot of them are like me. Adults looking for a way to calm the inner brain demons. Adults looking for a safe place to get rid of daily frustrations. Adults looking for a place to make connections with people by playing as a team, when they have a hard time doing so in real life.

This is not to say that Fortnite (or any kind of gaming) is a substitute for reality. It’s not. But it can be a safe and enjoyable space to spend some time.

There’s a lot to love about Fortnite.
