    Favorite battle royale.
    I wish they'd put more effort into quality updates, like fixing audio, fixing mirage decoys not dying over a pebble. I wish the prices weren't that high and there was a marketplace.

    Combines the team and class nature of Overwatch, the gunplay of COD and PUBG, and the skins/emotes/loot from Fortnite. Absolutely no pay-to-win, as all of the rewards are cosmetic. The guns feel superb, maybe a bit more arcadey than COD (the guns are pretty tight and remind me more of Halo).

    Great features: jumping together as a team so the loner doesn't ruin your time. Pinging the map from the game (not the map screen) is an amazing feature than every game now needs. The mods auto-equipping if they are better than what you have and if you have the spot open on your weapon is just such a great feature. And when you switch weapons, it will auto-switch the mods.

    Bad features: honestly almost none. Maybe the reload time is a bit too long? (but that just encourages you to pursue extended clips and rewards those who do) And yeah, the elephant in the room is that EA owns Respawn, but they seem to have their hands out of this one unlike Anthem, which already appears to be a full-priced game with microtransactions. This game does the MTs just like Fortnite, which is totally ok in my book. You can play the game perfectly well with them and enjoy them if you get them.    … Expand

I only see one cheater once every 5 days. Overall the game is much more balanced now but there are still many frustrating issues with the game. The servers are very inconsistent from night to night. One night my squad will have constant lag/stutter/hitreg issues and other nights it will be tolerable. No other recent games I've played (Overwatch, Siege) have this issue. Footsteps sounds will still occasionally cut out making you wonder how the hell a whole squad suddenly appeared next to you. The hitbox for pathfinder and wattson are still bad, better than before but still bad. This game could be a 9.5/10 if the servers were better. It will be sad to see this game die once COD Modern Warfare comes out.… Expand

    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.

    Already kinda don't have a reason to play it after 5 hours. I play with friends only

    It's very polished, but I believe it'll suffer the same fate as realm royale and blackout. There just isn't as much replay value as fortnite or pubg

    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

    Apex Legends is a new approach to battle royale shooters, and one that delivers nicely with their named heroes, phenomenal pinging system, simplified inventory management, gunplay, balancing and map design. Unfortunately, the game has disappointing amount of content, unimpressive visuals and even more frustrating matchmaking and stability, which might take away the fun for some.

    A strange mix between Overwatch, CoD, a bit of Warframe with a Titanfall background. It comes with fresh ideas in battle royal concept, mixing games styles as we are seeing with Realms Royale or CoD. The free-to-play game offers a good character evolution, asking for your real money only for skins stuff, everything being accessible with gaming time.

    Showing the power of the Source Engine, this game is beautiful and far from the "cheap toy style" of the similar proposal coming from CoD. This only makes me imagine how amazing can be a battle royal with Frosbite in Battlefield. Gungame feelings are perfect, as they were in the Titanfall saga.

    BUT this game is not for those who are seeking something more realistic, calmed and pure real war strategy. This is pure action with magic, instant regeneration, weird magical movements like Overwatch, avoiding any realistic battle strategy possibility where dead is not even definitive anymore.

    After the first good vibes, this game goes far in the exploration of this new game style... but still not enough groundbreaking to offer something really interesting and too unrealistic for me. I will have to wait for a real successor of the buggy PUBG...    … Expand

    Battle Royale is a oversaturated genre with way too many failures from radical heights to the culling.
    Apex legends offers a fresh spin with a unique ping system and legends instead of bland army soldiers, as each of them has their own 'unique' abilities.

    For graphics, it looks.. decent but I wouldn't praise it for taking it up a notch and the map looks like the beta version of anthem's map, both being set in a jungle.

    The abilities are unique to the battle royale genre as no one except for realm royale has tried it but we all know how that turned out :/ However, I can start drawing many similarities with rainbow 6 siege in terms of abilities.
    Gibraltar has a shield when aiming down on his gun, similar to Blackbeard who can mount a rifle shield on his gun.
    Bloodhound can track other enemy's footsteps much like jackal from rainbow 6, caustic can place gas traps similar to smoke and mirage has clones which marks enemies who shoot it like alibi who can place 3 projections which tags enemies that shoot it. So their abilities aren't that unique but ill let slide.

    One thing I love is the movement, it all feels so smooth from the gun play and being able to traverse the map through ziplines which help the pacing of the game, filling me up with adrenaline and it was a bummer when wall run wasn't present although it takes place within the titanfall universe.

    The fact that there was only one map despite it being out for 2 months is starting to show and having a disappointing battlepass and it seems EA was focusing on skins more than actual content which I would say is a necessary evil for a game that seemed to pop out of no where.

    Something i'm sure no one asked for is political correctness. I'm sure this is just a pet peeve but we did not need to know that Gibraltar is gay and that despite we did not know where bloodhound was from or his species and real name, we apparently know he's non-binary? we've seen this with battlefield V and it is clearly to pander to the left. I am fine with this as long as it does not affect gameplay but the fact that this is even here seems unnecessary.

    Tl:dr: Fun battle royale with amazing gameplay but map feels sparse and bland, seems rushed to latch on the latest trend but is good for a free game and would recommend a try
