I am playing Free Fire from around 2-3 years and honestly it is one of my most used apps in mobile. For me it is not only a game but also kind of stress relief. The matches are short and fast so even if I have 10 minutes free, I can play one round. That is one big reason I prefer Free Fire over other battle royale games.
The game runs smooth in my Xiaomi 12 5G, no big lag mostly, and the controls are also very simple. I like that there are many guns, skins and characters. They keep updating events so every month there is something new. Playing with friends is most enjoyable, talking on mic and planning together.
But Free Fire is also not perfect. Sometimes hackers spoil the match and it feels irritating. Also, diamonds are too costly, many skins and outfits cannot be taken without spending real money which is hard for students like me. If I play too much, my phone starts heating and battery drains faster also.
Still I will say Free Fire is best for students who want quick fun game, specially those who don’t have high end device. It is addictive but enjoyable, and even with small problems I still play daily.
