    There doesn't appear to be any sort of Skill-Based Matchmaking. This is fine for Xbox and PS4, where the console standardization and Aim-Assist levels the playing field a but the skill-range on the PC tends to be much larger. Battle Royales make this problem worse by giving experienced players more practice than new players.

Battle Royales make this problem worse by giving experienced players more practice than new players.

    The first few days of the release were very fun, but things fell out of balance very quickly. It's very common for new players to be matched with Level 50+ players who carry them. This actually has create some backward incentive, where you're more likely to progress further with random teammates than a squad of friends of similar skill. In my personal experience, that has been the case. Unless New players have the opportunity to play apart from the experienced ones, a lot of people will eventually become discouraged and move on to other games.

    TL:DR: Ranked Matchmaking is needed so Apex doesn't become an Elite Soldier Slug Fest that turns off newcomers.    … Expand

To me, these games feel like cheap mobile games and not really something worth investing much time in to. My friends recommended Apex Legends because they though t was "so different than the others". Now I tried it and they have tried it for a couple weeks, we still end up playing old and bellowed Titanfall 2.

    Visually the game looks interesting, but it feels like it wants to be cool like Borderlands, but ends up looking cheap kids game. Maybe it was made for 12-year-olds, who knows?

    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. I think that a Titanfall 2 with large maps, with titans and wall running, might actually make Battle Royale fun even for me.    … Expand

    I'd say it's a good game, if it were not for every 10 games, the 10 party sluts, this crashing **** game. Not only is the work they are doing disgusting, but also the support is terribly horrible, they give pain to others.
    It is not possible that having an i7 8700k next to an RTX 2080Ti and 32gb ram, this crap slut crashee.

    Yet another battle royale game that's built around micro transactions and does little to make it more interesting. It also seems to be making a political statement by having the only straight white male character behind an unlock and they named him Caustic which is close to Toxic. Pass.

    it's a good a game and i'm curios about the back story of each character and i hope we see something about them even if it's an animated short like overwatch

    The loot box system introduced with the new update is just messed up and extremely predatory. Stay away from this one untill it's fix. If it's not fixed... well... there are plenty of other games with more ethical business models.

    The gun play is solid, however there is a serious lack of recoil. That is something that EVERY shooter game needs. This game has been out for a significant amount of time and stutters, freezes, and crashes still occur on a regular basis. Overall the game play itself is about a 7.5 to 8, however EA getting their grubby hands in this game every chance they get ruins the experience.

Locking content behind Loot Boxes and timed exclusives as well as capping the grind for rewards at Level 100 is a serious problem. It is also the focal point of the development team instead of QOL improvement, as is evident by the state of the game. It shows true potential as a Battle Royale game, but EA has shown us yet again that they do NOT care about the consumer. Stay far, FAR away from this game… Expand

    no me habia gustado ningún battle royal e hasta que jugué apex legends. no es el mejor juego pero si es uno de los juegos en los que he invertido mas tiempo.
    es un juego rápido y vertiginoso, que se hace mas disfrutable si lo juegas con amigos ya que en los modos competitivos el nivel es muy alto y se requiere sincronización con todo el equipo.

    Но большой минус за дорогущий донат и сезонные пропуска.

    you wander around for ten minutes, hit a guy five times with a sniper rifle, and get killed by him. there are daily challenges you can do for rewards, but it gives you challenges specific to legends you don't own. the gunplay seems fun, but the main issue is that whether I live or die is entirely up to chance, and that chance is 1 in 100.

    it`s mostly about luck , if you can get a high damage gun you can get a kill if not you are stuck with a pee shooter gun who can`t kill after you land 6 bullets in to the enemy. And like every br game it`s a camp fest. No recoil weapons , sniper 40 dmg , no match history .

    It is one of the best Free2Play Games and the BEST Battle Royale, but it has a hughe Cheater Problem like the most other games. So i should not recommend it, but in lack of alternatives of the same quality, this is in my opinion the best BR game.

    A review from someone experienced in FPS, TPS as well as MMOs but new to the Battle Royale genre:

    As others pointed out - Apex is fast-paced. And also very luck-based - there's a lot of RNGs involved. Unless you team with your friends - you'll be thrown into a squad with 2 random people. The jumpmaster who picks where on the island the team lands will be picked at random, too. There's a    A review from someone experienced in FPS, TPS as well as MMOs but new to the Battle Royale genre:

    As others pointed out - Apex is fast-paced. And also very luck-based - there's a lot of RNGs involved. Unless you team with your friends - you'll be thrown into a squad with 2 random people. The jumpmaster who picks where on the island the team lands will be picked at random, too. There's a chance (~5-10%) that you won't even get to play your desired Legend (character class of sorts) because someone's turn to pick theirs came before, and Apex doesn't allow 2 identical Legends in a team. Oh and if you're really outta luck - your team might end up being just 2 players instead of 3. Happens rarely though. And in fact odds of surviving to the top-5 as a team of 2 are almost as good because first 2/3 of the round can be survived through by just avoiding combat rather than winning. If you survive to the end that's when the the shrinking playable area forces the few remaining teams to fight each other by .

    When you drop somewhere - you grab whatever weapons are available at that location (hello RNG). You kinda need to become good at using any weapon you happen to find - which is common for battle royale games, I guess. There are only 20 or so firearm weapon types, plus a few grenade types in Apex so it's manageable. Plus half a dozen types of defensive gear and items.

    The only single-player you get is the "shooting range" map which is effectively a small sandbox with every type of item there is ingame layed out for you to try.

    The ingame voice works OK, which is nice and needed for cooperating with strangers.

    The game is certainly NOT p2w because I haven't found anything in the store whatsoever which would give any performance benefit. Everything paid in this game is purely cosmetic except for the 7 legends which are initially locked - but even those are not strictly better than the 8 which are available from the start. The 7 "paid" ones are just _different_. They cost about $7.50 each to unlock and can be unlocked with ingame currency eventually. I've unlocked two of them just to find that I still prefer one of the "free-from-the-start" ones.

    There only bug I've found is that teammates' banners often don't draw properly.

    Can't vouch for cheaters in Apex, but I have found that sometimes I attack someone first, from the back, with a fairly powerful weapon - only to have then turn around (after starting to take damange) and take me out almost instantly, even though I'm at full health and have some lvl-2 armor. Maybe I just suck at this game, or maybe they are using some sort of aim bot which gives them a near-100% headshot rate from an SMG while running, IDK.

    Overall - I'd say there's nothing particularly wrong with this game, and if you like fast-paced shooter games, entirely skill-based games (there is no character "progression" here, the lvls are purely for ranking and do not affect your characters stats in ANY way) - and don't mind a lot of RNGs everywhere - go for it.
    Personally - I find that it lacks strategic depth, diversity (1-st game and 10'001-th will have same characters, same gear, same map) and control over what happens with you. Although playing with 2 friends who play at a similar skill level and communicate well - would likely be significantly better than playing alone and relying on Apex's RNG for everything.    … Expand
