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

    A fantasticly fun game, that makes playing with strangers not only not frustraiting and hatefull, but even fun. Great Mechanics and flow to the gameplay. In short everything thats good about the Battle Royal Genre, but nearly all the negatives fixed or removed.

    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

We will have the battlepass soon, which will be a one-time fee for that season's content, also purely cosmetic items.

    We're just at the one-month marker of this game being released, but the gameplay, squad mechanics, communication via pinging or voice chat, has made this the most enjoyable battle royale I've played to date, I go as far back as the beta for the H1Z1: King of the Kill mode before PUBG.

    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.

    Com'on people! this game deserves more then 6.5! This is battle royal done right. For a free to play title this game is polished and very few bugs! its faster pace compare to PUBG, and the different character's abilities actually make a difference. if you like battle royal mode but cant stand Fortnite like me, this is the game for you!

    Here are some points I personally really like:
    Many guns are hitscan, or at least they feel like it. I haven't tested it fuily but it's nice to have some actual you-hit-what-you-clicked action going on, specially fun to play with the Wingman, a 6-Round Revolver that does pretty high damage.
    Also: There seems to be no falloff damage, at least with many weapons. This combined with the high precision makes for a really skillbased shooter.

    There's also no jumping fall damage. you can jump down a cliff it wouldn't hurt you.

    Now the abilities: Many of those remind me of similar abilities from Overwatch. There's a character that has a grappling hook, there's one that sets up a healing station, there's one that can fade away and is also able to create a teleporter that can be used to hop between two spots by your whole team. Then there's a guy who can place a shield bubble.

    It's nice to have some meta in this game instead of everyone can do nothing. At first at least. I know Realm Royale tried to do just that but failed. It might have had other reasons though.

    I hope this game gets some continued support so it can outgrow the abomination that is fortnite.

    Last thing about the p2w-Elements:
    After playing this game today for roughly 5 hours I'm around 2/5 on my way to unlocking one of the two unlockable heroes only with the ingame currency. I think you get around 600 coins per game and a bit more for actually winning and one of those heroes costs 12000 coins.    … Expand

    However, technical perfection does not make a great game, at least in my book. I appreciate the tension and stress level that PUBG provides, despite “technically” being a game infested with bugs. I like how the shooting feels; I enjoy the excitement I get when I kill an enemy. Apex Legends, on the other hand, takes a much more casual approach to gameplay and that is simply not what I am looking for in a battle royale.

    Apex Legends has very good graphics and a cool setting. It offers some neat features (majority of which maybe taken from Overwatch) and interesting ideas to improve the cooperation between team members. There is not much to complain about and I understand why it is praised by game critics. On the other hand, I am a gamer and I judge video games based on my personal experience with them. Apex Legends is not my cup of tea, but there is no reason why you shouldn’t give it a go and decide for yourself…    … Expand

Essentially every character can shoot guns the same, so there are no balancing issues, but they all have their unique features to make them stand out and assist the team in different situations.
    The game can be very hard to play solo or with two people, but it's pretty certain these modes will come in the near future.
    The technical quality of the game is also exemplary. The graphics look very nice, the sound design is ver good as well. There are some Netcode and Server Issues, but those are rather minor if you own a stable connection.

    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
