    A refinement of battle royale, Apex Legends is great fun — but there's still room for improvement.

    All I know is, the game asks for my best. And as it becomes itself, I want to live up to wherever it’s going.

    It’s also not too hard to find the right balance between quality visuals and consistent FPS. Solely talking about graphics, it’d be slightly below Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V. However, it definitely ranks higher than Fortnite, PUBG, and a dozen other battle royale titles out there. I’d consider this a fairly smooth launch for a game that completely came as a surprise.

    The very concept of becoming the last combatant standing is a core tenet of battle royale games, but it has also kept the genre intimidating for rookies. Even with a significantly smaller number of players per session in Apex Legends, the game features a steep learning curve, while its tutorial level is a tad inadequate in familiarizing newcomers with the game. Yet Apex Legends’ astute take on squad cohesion and its brilliant communication system have made it enormously playable not just for veterans, but newcomers too.
  4. This is the best battle royale game we’re going to see for a long, long time. [RPS Bestest Bests]

    The game itself seems fine, though I am finding it impossible to enjoy it without a solo mode available. Being forced into teams sucks.
