    The game itself seems fine, though I am finding it impossible to enjoy it without a solo mode available. Being forced into teams sucks.

    Gameplay is disapointing, no walk on wall and no Titan. Its just another generic battle royal with super expensives items!

    This game was great for a long time but devs are more committed to designing unappealing skins and map additions as opposed to spending time fixing bugs that have made the game unplayable.

    These games are STILL being sold AND they get put on sale (on Steam) despite Respawn and EA KNOWING that the games are completely unplayable for 3 years. The attacks stop temporarily EVERY SINGLE TIME a new season or event trailer is released for Apex, but without fail, the attacks restart within 48 hours (usually MUCH less than that.) Respawn claims to trying to sort things out, but so far NOTHING has been done. I'd like to believe that Respawn is actually working on it, but considering how long this has been going on, I have zero faith in them. Either Respawn doesn't have enough staff available to sort this mess out, or it is actively being ignored, either by EA or Respawn, doesn't really matter who made that call if that is the case.

    On July 4th Apex was hacked across all platforms to display a "Save Titanfall" message and disable matchmaking, which was fixed within hours. The second part is exactly what has been happening to Titanfall since 2019. And Apex runs on the exact same matchmaking engine as Titanfall 1 and 2, meaning that the original hacker, who is in this exclusively to KILL THE TITANFALL FRANCHISE IN IT'S ENTIREITY, will likely target Apex once he is done with Titanfall 2 if Respawn does not act. Since Apex is part of the Titanfall universe.

    I was not involved with the Apex Legends hack, I wouldn't know where to begin, I'm a freaking idiot who just wants to play the games I love, besides I'd be just as bad as this guy if I did something like that against Apex. So I'm acting in the best way I can, by writing this and hoping that people will look into this mess and maybe, just maybe, start holding Respawn's feet to the fire so to speak. So I respectfully ask anyone reading this to not support Respawn untill they commit to fixing this mess once and for all and to hold them to it. A few PR tweets aren't going to fix anything. The problem is that Stryder, the matchmaking engine has been completely compromised, It needs to be retired and replaced with something that would render these attacks ineffective. Titanfall 1 was the first game to fall to this hacker, Titanfall 2 is currently on course to be the second, Don't let Apex become the third.    … Expand

    Don't get me wrong, I love APEX Legends, what I don't love are constant game breaking bugs. As of Friday, December 20th 2019, the battle pass is broken for a handful of users. I have been stuck at level 11 for 2 days and the game REFUSES too let me passed. Since I've been counting, I have leveled up too level 11 a total of 6 times.

    Over 1000hrs invested in this game. Last few month its literally unplayable for me because of constant server-side lags, and every SECOND game i have been trying to start last week gave me error code:net, 5 minutes of waiting in lobby and abandon match penalty. Fix ur servers, EA.

    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

    This game won't give you enjoyment but will get you infuriated to a point where your day gets ruined. The TTK (time to kill) is insane. You need at least 3 mags to down an enemy. Whoever designed this game' s TTK bs should be slapped in the face. Gone are the days where you kill an enemy by hitting them with 3 bullets.

The gunplay audio is also very screechy it hurts my ears even if I'm using Sony Gold Wireless Headset. Gunshots and bullets hitting armors sound like someone is having tantrums while banging a frying pan. The matchmaking is horrible too. It takes 2 hours to find a single battle royal match. Since 2016 I have deleted and reinstalled this game 3 times to my PS4 to see if it has improved but voila it's still **** Deleted it again. I also hate the fact that this does not let you play solo. I am a lone wolf and I hate having teammates who only drag me down.… Expand

    Its impossible to have fun in a game that you are forced to play with two random dudes that most of the time are like bots, sometimes they even leave the game and they arent getting punished for that basically if you don't have two friends at the time connected to play it, Just don't do it.

    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.

    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

    Generic and Clunky.

    It feels like EA got jealous of Overwatch, Fortnite and Call of Duty. The movement and aiming feels clunky. The map is so dense that it is nearly impossible to find out where you are being shot from. The inventory system is odd and I have to pause to figure out if an item is useful for my character or equipped weapons, slowing down the looting in what should be a    Generic and Clunky.

    The apex of derivative concepts cobbled together to produce something 12% different than the sum of its various carbon copied, off the shelf parts.

    While it will undoubtedly get additional "keep you tethered to a leash" patches to smooth out rough edges and the most meager of content scraps to keep its Pavlovian player base coming back for more, ultimately there is not enough meat on its bones to compete with much more notable games that it leans on such as COD, Overwatch, PubG, Fortnite, Destiny, and the upcoming Anthem. The most it can hope for is much the same of the rest of the Titanfall franchise. Flash in the pan type fan base that flares up quickly and fades away under the glut of "the next big thing" type of releases vying to be a temporary distraction from the established "leaders" that ethletes will yoyo back to after they see what is different and not be compelled to give up their status in their chosen base esport.

    APEX LEGENDS is entirely too much too much pay-to-win... particularly for yet another generic battle royal game. The balancing issues seem designed to create a need to buy items in order to stay competitive.

    Purely from a gameplay perspective, it’s the best first person battle royale title out there, and well worth dipping into a year on. It’s disappointing that Titanfall 3 seems further away than ever, but for now Apex Legends will do just as well.

    Apex Legends spices up the battle royale formula with hero-based shooter pizazz and its revolutionary pinging system, which helps everyone feel welcome to the team. Though its Season One rollout has been disappointing content-wise and its visual flair remains bland, Apex Legends still has the solid foundation necessary for a free-to-play shooter to survive in the long run. And with 50 million players reached in its first month, it's not like it's slowing down anytime soon. We're all jumpmasters now.
