    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a stupid piece of **** my PC meets the system requirements, but it just doesn't start the game. This **** needs instructions that my processor doesn't support. I read about it on the Internet and it turned out that this was not there before, but appeared only after the update. The question is, WHY ?!… Expand

    December 2021 update: Numerous improvements have been made. I have not come across any players that I suspected were cheating since I've revisited the game within the past two months. Great game now, although I would like to be able to play all the maps available not just a selected 2 or 3.

I have not come across any players that I suspected were cheating since I've revisited the game within the past two months. Great game now, although I would like to be able to play all the maps available not just a selected 2 or 3.
    I had to give Apex Legends a try. It is, after all, free to play. I've been having a lot of fun with it. It is a challenging multiplayer game. Gun fights are exhilarating, and the mechanics and feel of the game is quite responsive. Player hit boxes are appropriately sized. I've not experienced any latency issues. The graphics look great. The game runs smoothly on my GTX 1060 at highest settings. The map (only 1 thus far), is superb, there are some very cool environments (zones) all packed into a single map.

    I only have a few criticisms.
    -A number of the characters seem like they were ripped from Borderlands (Siren, Maniac (Octane)) and Overwatch. Three of the 'legends' require a lot of time playing to unlock or can be purchased with real money. though they are not needed to enjoy the game as it is quite balanced.
    -There are a number of cheaters playing. While it took a while until I identified a cheater with aim bots, I did find 2 within only an hour of playing during one evening. One was my random team-mate and then another that i suspected and spectated to see that indeed the player was using an aim bot. Apex Legends is a successful free to play multiplayer game, and thus, cheats are to be expected. I just hope it doesn't get any worse and the developers stay on top of it.
    -There is only one map.    … Expand

    Best game from the worst shooter genre

    Pros:
    Fluid movement
    Good gunplay
    Lots of innovation (e.g ping system)

    Cons:
    Trash servers
    Several bugs
    Braindead meta
    No competitive integrity
    **** ranked system
    Boring public matches
    Arenas is pointless to play
    Developers don't care
    Massive lack of content

    Best Battle Royale game. The only one that feels different. Has the best gunplay and movement in FPS games right now. Has the best innovations like the creative ping system, the first BR with the respawn concept, ziplines, vaults, etc. Lastly, it is currently the only BR with multiple maps.

    Sadly that is it. The server management is horrible. 60 ping in 1 game then 200 ping for the    Best Battle Royale game. The only one that feels different. Has the best gunplay and movement in FPS games right now. Has the best innovations like the creative ping system, the first BR with the respawn concept, ziplines, vaults, etc. Lastly, it is currently the only BR with multiple maps.

    Sadly that is it. The server management is horrible. 60 ping in 1 game then 200 ping for the next. Its gameplay (especially in Ass Canyon and Openlympus) is either:

    1. Find nobody until 10 squads left then after you find and fight 1, the 3rd 4th 5th 69th party comes for your necks
    2. You drop hot and die early game (if you survive the hot drop it would be the same as 1, that is the peak experience for the game)

    I am so tired of the game right now that I moved to a game that prioritizes winning over getting high kills (Valorant). The game is too casual right now (its just for the kills) unlike Valorant which is probably the FPS game with the highest competitive integrity right now. I am new to the game right now and there is no agent that you can play properly without some mastery unlike in Apex a lot of legends (Octane (especially with Revenant), Bloodhound, Seer, Caustic, and Gibraltar just to name a few) are too noob friendly and also the guns (L-Star, Rampage, Charge Rifle, Devotion (especially with Turbocharger) and R301 just to name a few also). Also, there are some annoying braindead legend combinations like the infamous RevTane (its nerfed now but still braindead)

    I also don't like the ranked system. There should be no "freebie rank" in any competitive game but in Apex the real ranked experience starts at Platinum. The consequence at losing in Bronze, Silver, and Gold is just not punishing. You can troll 5 straight games hotdrop and die first then on your 6th game you win the game and every "punishment" you had gets erased. On mid elo and high elo a lot of players just hide for RP until they can get an actual good game - making the system "grind over skill". A player who rats a lot and has horrendous aim and gamesense could get to Plat while a player who has decent aim and decent gamesense could be hardstuck gold because they take fights a lot and get 3rd partied a lot in the process. The ranked system doesn't promote playing smartly. You either rat, grief others while giving up your positioning, or be the one griefed.

    Lastly, the lack of content. Dry af. At this pace, the game is gonna die.

    This game was my favorite FPS at one point but it just stinks right now. I no longer grind it. There is just no reason to. I just play it casually and occasionally. Oh about Arenas. I forgot about it just like the majority of the playerbase.

    TL;DR = Probably has the worst servers in any multiplayer game right now. Ranked system is ass. Meta is braindead. Olympus and Kings Canyon are bad maps. Worlds Edge is good for ranked but also ass for pubs. Storm Point is boring af. Best BR? Yes. By far. Best FPS? No. By far    … Expand

    Best battle royal out there the character choices are really fun and are always being balanced keeping the meta varied over the years, you can easily play for hours and not get bored. Seasons can be come stangnent about half way through due to un-interesting events every so often. Seems well optimsed since everyone I know can run the game.

    The game is disgusting. technical implementation at the level of a school project. problems with optimization, servers, cheaters - that's what the game is made of. this game is one big problem. the developers are unable to fix old bugs from the time of the game release, and technical support does not work at all. Every new update only brings more bugs and problems to the game.

    What an incredible game, its one of the best shooters ever made just because they reused Titanfall 2 assets. One small complaint is that if it wasn't a battle royale it would be much better.

    As for the gaming experience, this has too be my favorite FPS game, everything feels so smooth and nice and gun play is enjoyable. Movement is very exploitable, lots of hard strafing and crouch spamming as well as tap strafing. Unfortunately most of the casual crowd is starting to abandon this game for newer FPS games and those who remain are extremely good at the game and makes for a really poor experience when you're a newer player being put in the same lobby as the top 2% of players.

    This game was so great it's first year but really needs a complete revamp or a sequel to be made.    … Expand

    the battleroyale mode isn't fun enough, you spend a lot of time finding random gear that may or maynot help you in fights, so there is a big down time where you re just going from one point to another trying to find better gear.

    Absolutely horrible Halloween event of 2021. 40 packs by 400 coins, you need a looooot of money to get the skins you wanna (or have a lot of luck). No music pack, new loading screen is just in-game screenshot instead of some good-looking banner.

    It's such a shame EA and Respawn cannot solve the bugs and problems that have plagued this game since its release, and with every patch that adds 10 new things, they simultaneously find ways to break 100 others. The game right now as of the Rampart collection event has serious code errors and unstable servers with people losing RP with added "abandonment" penalties, completely beyond their control.

    Apex Legends is an utter **** show in terms of stability, reliability and performance, and not representative of a billion dollar company that is making money hand over fist with insanely high priced cosmetics and predatory FOMO tactics to make you spend more. This game has terrible matchmaking, broken sound, is littered with game breaking bugs, and plagued with cheaters that EA / Respawn have demonstrated they cannot stop and have no real control over.

    I've spent more money and time on this game than I care to admit, defended it on all socials for years, but after 2 years I cannot defend this game anymore. They do not deserve your money, and it is only a matter of time before a better game with stable servers, cleaner code, and better anti cheat comes out and utterly displaces Apex Legends.    … Expand
