    A decent game but in its current state unplayable for me, there is now way of separating players based on either skill or time played , cheaters abound, players who have been playing this non stop will kill in a second, maybe when of if they introduce a solo mode or a 2 v 2 then maybe i will give this another go, but as it stands its a cash grab and a fail!

    Every update makes something worse but doesn't fix core problems. Almost three years into the cycle and no patches for post 500 game loot and progression while asking players to pay mostly for every new skin (which are often reskins with paint). This has to end.    … Expand

    Too many kids play it that don't shut up. And you are forced to play with them on your team. There is no solo mode. So you got another Overwatch game.

    Apex Legends это батл рояль, который считаю лучшим из существующих, даже не смотря на такую низкую оценку, которую я ставлю.
    Так почему же только "5"?

    Так почему же только "5"?
    Минусы:
    1) Текстуры в игре выглядят не такими уж и крутыми, однако каким-то образом они становятся проблемой для слабых пк, а на средних приходится долго возится с настройками графики, чтобы в важный момент, у вас внезапно не появились фризы.
    2) Почему обновления выходят так редко? Большая часть из добавленного оружия просто взята из другой игры, а новые герои не выглядят так, как будто их днями и ночами допиливали до идеального состояния, мне вообще из всех добавленных после релиза героев по геймплею и полезности понравилось только 2.
    3) Звуки. Если вы зайдете в настройки аудио, то увидите 2 параметра: "Общая громкость" и "Громкость музыки". Вы можете выкрутить звук на полную, чтоб при каждом выстреле звук было слышно на весь населенный пункт, но вы все равно не услышите ШАГОВ. Вы целитесь куда то с винтовки - и тут внезапно вас убивает враг, стоящий в 3 метрах.
    4) Помню лишь один раз, когда был режим для одного игрока. Мне он понравился больше всех и я наиграл там игр 100 минимум. Очень неприятно играть в рейтинг или просто в быструю с рандомами: они забирают нужные тебе вещи, могут просто умереть за секунду и ливнуть, писать всякие гадости и орать в войсе (ну пендосы всегда были обделены интеллектом, че с них взять), но к счастью последнее можно отключить. В общем лишь мешаются под ногами у таких, как я. Вот в чем проблема: разработчики не просто убрали режим для одного игрока, так еще и сделали режим для 3 игроков основным, рейтинговым - полный бред и признак маразма у создателей ( ну пендосы, опять же ).
    5) Сервера. Не важно, насколько хороший у вас интернет, всегда есть шанс, что вы внезапно вылетите из игры или у вас будут тормоза в опасный момент. Разработчики спустя 1,5 года добавили возможность переподключится после вылета, спасибо.....
    Плюсы:
    1) Стрельба похуже чем в Call of Duty Warzone, но плохой она от этого не становится.
    2) В последнее время почти не вижу читеров
    3) Герои со своими уникальными способностями, которых может купить каждый ( хоть большинство героев по факту бесполезны)
    4) Нерфы или изменения имбового оружия, абилок героев (очень долго ждать обновлений, но это происходит)
    5) Разнообразие: на картах можно увидеть много разных локаций (но домов лишь парочка и они копи пастятся), герои придают геймплею изюминки
    6) Не детская (для таких игр она не слишком подходит), человеческая графика
    Итог:
    Есть минусы, которые сильно ухудшают игру, но играть можно. Батл рояль стоит своего внимания и до сих пор продолжает меняться, никто не знает что даст следующее обновление и когда будет последнее.    … Expand

The game experience is crap while new players get matched to 2000 and above kills players and the way they kill you in 2 seconds is just unnatural.

    You can't differentiate hackers out of these experienced players because they just kill you in the same amount of time. People just kept reporting those who killed them because of that and it just makes the game not fun.

    While you might think that since the gun damages are so low, you might die slower? No, they just shoot you like their crosshair snapped to your body and they land 70%+ of their shots from either short or long ranges; high or low places; whether you are running or idle. I believe the shooting experience is one of the main causes that made this game lost so many players after the first few months.

    Now I only play when my friends invited me to play and I have to control myself not to rage quit after a few matches because of this unbelievably bad game experience that just got worse and worse after time.

    Skilled players might still enjoy it, I'm not and I turned to play some other type of hardcore games like Hunt: Showdown and Escape From Tarkov that looks made for that kind of experience, not this 'cartoonish', unbalanced, extremely reaction speed-based game that's going downwards.    … Expand

    When you already have 500 lvl and you still don't have normal skins for old characters, it's worth considering whether you need to play something that doesn't reward you for many years of loyalty

    From someone that has 500-600 hours in this game on Origin, what i can tell you from my experience is that playing this game solo will probably ruin your mental health if you play too much. It's even worse then CS and his cheaters problems. Almost unplayable if you don't have a group of friends.
    Also Respawn and EA don't care about player's experience or time invested in game and they    From someone that has 500-600 hours in this game on Origin, what i can tell you from my experience is that playing this game solo will probably ruin your mental health if you play too much. It's even worse then CS and his cheaters problems. Almost unplayable if you don't have a group of friends.
    Also Respawn and EA don't care about player's experience or time invested in game and they never did something about this even if players are complaining from season 1(now its season 12).
    I would not advise to invest money in this game until you played some hours otherwise you may be disappointed and with no chance on getting money back.
    Game idea is ok and i think better then other BRs, maps and legends concept are ok but that's it, everything else sucks in this game.
    So many weapons available in game, only 2 or 3 are decent, rest are either bugged or useless.
    Most of legends have not that great abilities so you will see that everybody plays 4-5 legends all the time, currently there are 20 legends available but most of them are not even picked by players.
    There are also some bugs in this game and they will repair them only if its a matter of money(they repaired a bugged skin in some days but 2 weapons that ruined players experience for months were fixed when a lot of pro players complained about it and this is only one example).
    For BR, there are ranked and unranked options, both bad from my point of view. Unranked it's really unbalanced and frustrating. 80 to 90% of the time if you play solo you will get worst players in the game in your team and top players as adversaries(if you play solo you will also get matched against sweat premades that will melt you in seconds all the time).
    Ranked it supposed to be skill based but as playerbase it's not that big and a lot of players are really weak and clueless, you will get matched against pro players that will melt you when you get to higher ranks.
    Cheaters, another big problem of the game, mostly in ranked, where if you don't get matched against pro players then you get matched against cheaters, they have 1 man that it's banning cheaters, that's how much they care about player experience.
    All they care is money, that's it, don't care about player experience, don't care if you invested money in this game.
    They make a lot of money from skins but they have 1 man to ban cheaters(they said that now, after 11 seasons, have a team to ban cheaters but who knows if it's true), cheaters are getting banned after a long period of time and after that make another new account and cheat again.
    People are falsely getting banned for no reason while cheaters can play, there are a lot of cases like this if you read the forum of Apex from EA. They don't care if you invested a lot of money in the game, they will ban you for no reason and after that you need to make an appeal to their team to get you account back. Guess what, almost all their costumer support are bots that will give you same mail responses over and over again with no information on why you got banned. If you are lucky or know someone maybe you can get your account back in some days, if not you will wait months to get you account back even if you didn't do anything wrong.
    Playerbase, one of the worst experience that i had in gaming in years. As game it's not that easy as others and playerbase is not that big, you will get teammates that are terrible at this game and matched against sweats that will melt you in seconds if you play solo, maybe with premade is better, i tried but for me it was the same, i don't know. And no there is no option to play 1v1, you can go and play 1v2 or 1v3 but who wants that? They refuse to implement a 1v1 in the game, reason told by them would be that playerbase would be too divided, of course, nobody wants to play 2v2 or 3v3 with players that are clueless and of course nobody would play this modes and would play only solos if it were available in the game.
    Content, compared to other games, not too much, you have BR and arenas, 4 maps in 3 years, a lot of legends that nobody plays with, and once per season if we are lucky we get a lame event that is available for some days, there were seasons with no new maps or events, if you want new content, yeah, try something else, Apex doesn't have that.
    Between season 11 and 12 a lot of developers and employees from Respawn left the company and season 11 i think was one of the worst seasons, with less new content and no events, only boring and old staff that nobody played. Probably devs were sick of how EA and Respawn handle things and just left. Devs are not the ones to blame, i want to thank them for what they did over the years in this game, i think EA which is notorious for milking their playerbase from money with dlcs and all the gambling they have in their games(if you want some event skins you need to buy a lot of packs that are expensive and have random chance to give you what skin you really want) are the ones to blame.    … Expand

    Technically it feels very similar to the old Timesplitters which is already ancient game by now. It's like TItanfall 2 didn't teach developers anything about why people love it so much. Weapon control, grappling hook, jump'n slide, wall running etc. made it unique among other fps games. I can't really understand their explanations that wall running wouldn't work in a battle royale game.
