    It's a game that's impossible to play alone, and it's still full of bugs after all these years.

    Hervorragender Shooter mit intensiven Gunplay und schöner Graphik. Das Battle Royal Konzept wird durch das Spiel perfektioniert. Einige technische Mängel und ein fehlender Story Modus limitieren die Motivation das Spiel über lange Zeit hinweg zu spielen (8/10).

    This game seems to have nailed it for me in terms of multiplayer games. No problem with balance.

    This game is kind of a mixed bag. On one hand, you have a great formula of battle royale (even if it is overused), and a fun, newer gamemode that takes the formula of games like TF2 and Overwatch, and changes it.

However, the game can sometimes be not very fun to play. For one, the average playerbase of the game is probably somewhere around the ages of 8 - 14. This can cause some players you team up with to be not all that good, and cause your experience to be much worse overall (there is no solo mode, sadly). The game can also be (sort of) pay to win, but not in the traditional sense. It works in the same way as games like Fortnite, where there is a global currency (apex coins) that can only consistently be obtained by paying with money, and using the in game currency to buy cosmetic items. However, I feel like EA has done something at least decent for once, as the game is still fun and addictive when playing with friends. Expand

    Apex Legends is meant for two target audiences: casual BR players, and competitive ones. I believe this game is a 6 to both.

    The base game and it's core design are great, however the design philosophy of Respawn is clearly not to make a great game, it's to make a large profit. If you are a casual and go into this game for fun, you will find it runs poorly and is unoptimized, even if

If you are a casual and go into this game for fun, you will find it runs poorly and is unoptimized, even if you're on a higher end PC. However, when you are playing Apex, you will also notice it's game design outclasses a large majority of other battle royales. Everyone you play is a real opponent, and almost every game is unique in some way, whether it be character, drop spot, or inventory. Unfortunately, most of this is locked behind a paywall/playwall, where you can only unlock most legends after playing an extremely long period of time, or buying them.

    If you are a competitor going into Apex, you will notice that many of the gameplay decisions made my the developers are not made in the interest of competitive play. Specific legends are blatantly more powerful than others and M&K has a significant advantage, being able to do several things that are not even possible on controller. The ranked system is also a mess, as there is no deranking and probably never will be. On the bright side, though, the uniqueness of every apex legends moment stands out even in it's flaws in comp. For many serious players, that's all you need to keep your attention.

The addition of new game modes has done quite a lot to freshen up the experience, there are times when I really appreciate this game's formula and gameplay loop and other times I find it generic and uninspired - this really changes with the patch or meta of the game, which is ever-evolving in a Battle Royale like this. The fact this game has put any hopes of further Titanfall games in the dirt, at least for the near future, has also dampened my opinion of it, out of all the choices Respawn has to focus on developing the franchise - they pick the one that lacks the most soul.

    If this was a Year early i would say 7/10 it's alright you can get 300 hours no problem now and almost double the hours yeah things went down hill
    If you are a fan of the titanfall universe or player a casual or a pro or something in between you will have a different reason to give it a low score from a broken matchmaking were it doesn't work to a anti cheat that works only wen streamers

    Really there is too much bad to sum in short but the good things are a much more cut up Titanfall version of the titanfall movement and really good gun play is all the good but if you are coming from titanfall 2 then that's really not a good thing also also this season 13 and probably 14 is infested whit smurfs witch doesn't make it better idk what to write more just don't play the game until it's fixed i guess

    Is the best battle royale i tried, and if you are looking for a solid competitive shooter experiencie, this game is very good. The gun play feels great, the game have lot of characters to play, multiples maps and gamemodes. But is only a multiplayer experience, though, i would recommend anyone to at least try, since the game is free to play.

    The game is fun and addictive, 2 major problems with it however. Cheating has gotten so rampant that it's Plagued with it. Also the servers get worse Everytime the do a new update and this last one is the worst ever. The game freezes every other game it seems. Becoming a waste of time and energy

    The smooth movement mechanic is very fun and never gets old. But that's the only thing that's good about the game because there's too many cons to play. Here are the lists of the cons:
    - bad servers
    - EXTREMELY buggy, especially in season 15. - no cross progression(they promised 2 years ago, but lied to us) - awful ranked system - horrible report systems - very boring pub matches -

    - horrible report systems
    - very boring pub matches
    - bad map designs
    - Devs tweeting literal lies about the game
    - the lack of content compared to 2019-2020 updates
    - Bad audio quality
    - No footsteps sounds while combat due to poor coding
    - ran by an old engine
    - Horrible community support
    - Disappointing battle passes and cosmetics while it's expensive
    - Slow updates
    - Irrelevant balance changes that barely changes the gameplay, every 100 days.
    - bad sound quality
    - lack of optimization
    - only 2 new modes in 2 years.
    And these are only the main problems, it will take forever to include every problem in the review.

    It's probably great to play in the start but the more you play the more you realize that the game is not polished, season 15 was rushed and should have been delayed.

    - The Christmas mode is the buggiest mode I could ever experience. Screen flickering and some parts of the UI disappearing. The game struggles to render enemies and due to that you cannot see them. Even a REUSED mode Respawn failed to make it polished or bug-free.

    - The normal games are horrible as the Christmas mode as well. Same as the Christmas mode, screen flickering and some parts of the UI disappearing, rendering issues and lack of optimization. Sometimes in PC, the game tabs out for no absolute reason. Constant crashes in consoles. Apex's brand or what Respawn was going for was a team based game. Which Respawn failed to do so. No updates to encourage team-play outside from new legends, you are allowed to leave mid-game with no punishments, resulting in ruining the team-based experience for others.

    Apex is special in some way. All of the bad games at least improved. But Apex didn't, instead it got worse and became less friendly to most demographics in the player base. DISSAPOINTING!!!

However this game does suffer from a lot of stuff. First most of the cosmetics are wayyy too overpriced. I'm talking about 20 - 40 dollars for a Legendary skin. The battle pass isn't that good compared to its competitors. Its mostly just junk you wont even use. After playing for a while the game does get very boring because the developers don't really update it that often. The huge updates are split between seasons (about 3 months.) and they sprinkle in some content in between seasons too. however I don't think its enough to keep a player engaged enough to come back until the next season. Lastly, the developers take a long time to fix bugs or glitches. Thats because the engine apex legends is running on is very old. So if someone finds a exploit or for some reason that legend becomes unplayable because of a new update, dont expect the devs to fix them until weeks from then. Not because theyre lazy, but because the engine is old. Expand

    Definitely one of those those games that you get addicted to no matter how much it makes you angry. In other words it's the Overwatch of the BR genre which is fine by me because this game, despite its flaws, is still the best BR out there. The problem is I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

    Gunplay and overall movement mechanics are best in class. Most legends are fun to play with the free-to-play-ness of it all not being too bad. There's a lot of importance on team play and playing well will never not be satisfying however sometimes you'll run into someone with triple your hours. Fair warning don't play if you have a gambling problem

    This game is very solid, but definitely moves faster than my preference for an online FPS. This genre is fun by default, and I did enjoy my time in this game, but I didn't find myself becoming very good at it. I enjoy Fortnite no build better, but I know that is personal preference.

    Core gameplay is amazing - movement, gunplay, skills. That's what got me into the game in S01.
    Unfortunately server performance and audio are really bad. The game is on the source engine, which introduces problems when the game needs to handle 60 players and different effects/abilities.
    Balancing of guns/legends is also underwhelming at best.
    I still play it tho, still my shooter of choice.

    I will say everything bad about the game:
    - Poor matchmaking, you can literally start playing and predators will appear in your game for no reason.
    - Inefficient servers, they fall by themselves and many times I have been kicked out of the game due to the malfunctioning of the servers and they penalize me for it. - Poor audio, I won't say much about this because we all know how bad it

    - Reporting system?, one is supposed to report and there should be a penalty or even something, but no, this game accepts those players who are AFK or simply trolling the whole game because if you report it nothing will happen, even to cheaters.

    Now I will say the currently good thing about the game:
    Nothing, please don't play this, let Respawn and EA realize how bad this game got because of how little affection they have for it.
