    This game has some fun for sure. But weapons are ridiculously unbalanced leading to a boring, already-seen shotgun CQC meta. high ttk, too many shieds, and shield regens give endless and messy gunfight in the endgame.

    It's early days and I'm sure that along the line, there will be updates that improve the game. However, for now, Apex Legends is an extremely fun Battle Royale game with a few interesting twists. But, it is incredibly buggy and limited as of now.

    The Apex Legends game is another battle royale game that has been quite successful. It deliberately offers something other than PUBG and FORTNITE, only time will show if it will be a real competitor :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Apex Legends has worse graphic, music, gameplay.

    Graphic: I don’t no why, but on my PS4 and on my friend’s PS4 there is very bad FPS. Really, why? Also there is very bad graphic.

    Music: It is just a music. It is not something good. Music as music.

    Gameplay: Oh my God, this is so bed. The creator tried to make team play in this game. Well, he lose. There is no team play, don’t much weapons, bed map, that was designed by chicken.

    I am very split on Apex Legends. On one hand, it is the best battle royale currently on the market made by a developer studio that has time and time again proven that they know their stuff. On the other hand, it is a completely soulless, overmonetized project published by (gasp) EA, that yes, should have been Titanfall 3.

    The Titanfall franchise is arguably the greatest online PVP FPS    I am very split on Apex Legends. On one hand, it is the best battle royale currently on the market made by a developer studio that has time and time again proven that they know their stuff. On the other hand, it is a completely soulless, overmonetized project published by (gasp) EA, that yes, should have been Titanfall 3.

    The Titanfall franchise is arguably the greatest online PVP FPS game of the 8th generation of consoles. Titanfall 1 made huge strides in bringing some much needed diversity and creativity to the genre, while Titanfall 2 takes everything that made the first game so great and expanded and improved upon it. It added an actual single-player campaign, and a great one at that. Titanfall Assualt was a one-off mobile game that released in 2017, but it is a very loose relation and it should not be tied to the two other main games in the franchise.

    And here we are. 2019, and we did not get Titanfall 3, but instead a multiplayer only, always online battle royale game. There is no single player campaign following the events of Titanfall 2, there are no Titans, and the movement that made the previous game so great is largely absent. The disclusion of these things is baffling, and I have a feeling that EA felt that they should play it safe instead of innovating in the genre that needs innovation most.

    Titans in the game could have been implemented in one or both of these ways:

    1. Each character has a unique titan on a cooldown separate from their L1 and L1 + R1 abilities
    2. There are titans scattered all around the map in various high-loot locations

    The Titans would have to be far weaker than in previous entries, only having about 1/3 of the health and take damage from all weapons. Their firepower would have to be significantly toned down as well, with their various weapons only doing the damage of normal weapons, if not slightly more. The inclusion of Titans would not only add depth and longevity to the game, but it would make the game a more fun experience for everyone.

    Advanced movement such as the movement present in Titanfall 2 would alleviate one of the major problems that I and many others have with Battle Royale games in general: the map being too large. Large maps mean long stretches of mindless moving from location to location, and if Titanfall 2's momentum-transferring system was implemented straight into Apex Legends, the game would be infinitely more involved.

    A campaign in a battle royale game has not been done before to my knowledge (No, I do not count Fortnite, as the campaign was not created with a battle royale mode in mind), and there is incredible potential for one here. Imagine the possibility for individual character backstories and how Respawn could give us more reason to care about the "why" behind the battle royale mode. These two modes could be tied in incredibly, and once again, the relationship between the Pilot and the Titan would be a main focus of the story. There is arguably even more potential for amazing setpieces here, as the campaign could even see you and your titan working your way through the Battle Royale map. Future Battle Royale maps could also mean future side stories as the game gets new content.

    However, I need to give credit where credit is due, and the weapons all have that feel that only Respawn could deliver. A large portion of the game's arsenal of weapons and grenades are brought in from previous Titanfall games, which, of course, it's a shame that we didn't get completely new weapons, but I am satisfied with the new ones that we received. The new Prowler SMG and Peacekeeper Shotgun were particularly satisfying, and the Arc Star rework was unnecessary but appreciated.

    The way that armor was implemented is a breath of fresh air for the genre, as it is noticeably more abundant. Inventory space has also been increased from games such as Fortnite, and can be increased further with higher quality backpacks. This is a great change, allowing for more tools to be carried by players to use in combat or otherwise.

    The mechanic which allows for a shield to be put up when your legend is in a critical state is completely pointless. Melee attacks negate the shield completely, and most people only wait to kill off critically wounded enemies until they are out of combat, if they do so at all.

    Monetization is another area where the game falls short. There is no progression system to be found; any and all cosmetics obtained must be either bought with IRL currency or obtained through a slot machine. It seems that no matter how much EA is scolded for their anti-consumer policies, they turn around a week later and stuff even more of them into their games.

    So overall, I would have to give this game a 5/10. Respawn's creativity and vision for this IP is at times overshadowed by EA's greed and unflinching agenda.    … Expand

    FIRST PART: Attitude

    Okay, before judging the game as a BR, I'd like to say that I am very disappointed that you preferred this OVER original series. As an addition to universe- okay. But when I've heard that Titanfall sequel was never in development and I get this - this made me angry. Is this how you say thank you to core-fans of the universe?

    Okay, before judging the game as a BR, I'd like to say that I am very disappointed that you preferred this OVER original series. As an addition to universe- okay. But when I've heard that Titanfall sequel was never in development and I get this - this made me angry. Is this how you say thank you to core-fans of the universe? I took 50reg. in TF2 multiplayer, finished compaign. I called all buddies to buy the game. This is how you say thank you?

    Losing battle doesn't mean losing war. Instead of fixing your damn marketing and strategy - you literally chose an easy way — make another BR-game with idiotic art-direction, killing Titanfall Core-mechanics and transofrming game into autistic overwatch/fortnite-like game...

    The most primitive and simple decision based on marketer advices. Games should be made by genius designers, not marketers.

    So, you decided, that gamers are way to stupid and primitive and chose to make game based on marketing triggers-only. Okay...

    It would be pretty subjective, because I should judge only Apex Legends as a game itself, but I'd do -4 points for your attitude towards gamers.

    SECOND PART: Game itself

    Pluses: Battle Royale can't really excite in 2019. But still can evolve and enhance the experience. Obvious advantages of Apex Legends are team-work(R1/RB-controls, pointing-system, squad-focus) and inventory. You've proven that you actually CAN create a high-quality typical complex ARMA/DAYZ/Tarkov/Any other regular tactical shooter inventory on consoles. It's only about good UX designers you hire. Level design is good as well. One main map offers very different tactical zones that change experience, gameplay, navigation and tactics in general.

    Minuses: something's wrong with the beginning and balance. Sometimes i got killed with only couple of shots while I'm fully armored, full-HP, and also shoot enemy with upgraded close-quarters gun and still got killed without any chances. This **** happens all the time. No matter how well-upgraded you are. There are to many random and injustful deaths no matter how hard you try. it's 100% isn't the matter of bad skill or bad equipment. It's just kinda feels randomly. I also killed full-loaded player with regular pistol with couple of shots without armor. A was taking bullets from Shotgun all the time in close range. What the heck?

    I mean, you really need to fix net-code ASAP.

    And also. Awful character roster. More than half of players are women. It isn't about sexism, but making a shooter/military game where women are in priority - it's kinda looks not okay. I litrally can't take that picture of war, even if it's comic-like and in science-fiction setting. Pay some respect to men who are dying to give their mothers, sisters and daughters a life.

    CONCLUSION:

    Point? What is the point of this game? It really has solid advantages over other BR and is well-polished. But you still could put all these ideas into one big Titanfall 3 game. BR could have helped to increase the popularity of the series. I do understand, that original balance for regular game modes doesn't fit a regular Battle Royale criterias. But you still could offer own original experience. With Titans, Jetpacks, Parkour and low TTK. But you preferred killing TF3 over this overwatch-like marketing ****    … Expand

ERA sure does since they want to milk the cow before the caravan moves on, so its been an inevitable move for them to bring out their own syringe to tap the seemingly endless stream of revenue that come from an audience that purely plays to not see your own character while still trying to impress the other players by their own looks (they cant see) ..
    so here we are.. Titanfall 3 was sacrificed on the altar of comerce after titanfall2 was such a good single player game. but thats not what EA wants from a game they want player driven content free of any burden to write story or to create cutscenes and develop a plot. SO here we are.. the newest clone of Fortnite and overwatch minus the builder function but as a hero shooter.

    i am very sure it will find its fans since the shooter is actually workig and functioning quite well.
    apart from some inconveniences like not being able to play the tutorial as something other than the medic its been a solid but very limited experience on launch day.. the fact that its free to play further sparks the spreading of that title, its for players that have been too late for the Fortnite bandwaggon and want to start their own hobby as a streamer and "contentcreator" in a desperate shot to make this a living and somehow be the one of the guys that can generate an income with that new game.. (make no guess about it, the game even has the tools for them build in from launch.. )

    (i wished the servers of Anthem would have been as thoroughly tested for the vip demo than the server architecture of the robust apex legends launch. But also do not mistake this as anythign other than it is.. it is a pocket money dispenser , aimed at your money for skins and cosmetic upgrades.. which is fine in it self and i really hope on the one hand that respawn gets the money they need to finally make that titanfall 3 game but i also fear that if Apex makes too much money , EA will force Respawn to stick with that boring system.

    dont get me wrong, if YOU like Battle royale, its awesome for you.. i dont play video games to make my character look like dipped in pink ink with bright green weapon skins. and i do not need to compete in video games tohave a sense of "accomplishment".. i am not a PvP guy and i find very little interest in those game modes compared to a captive story driven environment like for example Halo, "Last of us" or "Enslaved, odyssey to the west".. and similar games..

    so i would love to see more of those games and less of those games that should be an offsrping of those.. i dont mind the multiplayer mode in Last of us, or in Tombraider, since the actual game is there.. but carving out a game mode and selling it as a complete game is shoddy and has brought us the pvp modes of a proper Star wars titles as stand alone desasters in the past and will continue so in the future if people will continue buying into it.

    TL:DR: Apex Legends is technically solid, but has no innovation we havent already seen in the last year, and is clearly create to have EA tap into that lucrative Battle royale market..    … Expand

    So for starters, I want to say that I'm not a huge fan of BR games but this game gave me fun enough to give it a shot for a longer time: it's still a BR but has some good tweaks such as heroes, abilities, team playand better weapon balancing (well except for Mozambique

    I have to admit that I like the overall game because of those features: playing in small groups is a lot of fun and can create a lot of different situations and the heroes having useful abilities helps making the gameplay varied - even though not all heroes are as good, like Caustic being very situational and Gibraltar being very mediocre despite being my most played legend.

    The shooting feels satisfying and I like the weapons that can be upgraded with attachments: makes for a very good way to keep your weapons without tossing old ones, and you can customize them in many ways.

    And the arenas are well done, I really enjoy their diversity and it feels like little battlezones, where you need to remember where's who.

    So why am I giving such a low score? Because the game has, for now, a major issue with teamplayers leaving the game too soon and forcing you to stay with 2, or even alone, especially on pc. I stopped counting the matches where my team just left and I was alone or with 2 members left and in a game about team it can be very hard to win by yourself. However, despite this happening also on ps4, on pc is probably the worst offender: I almost never play a match with my entire team online and as soon as someone dies they leave the game. It's also too common to be left alone entirely which makes the game harder for wrong reasons. And sadly there's no punishment for leaving too early: you can leave at any time and have no repercussions about it, so if you team dies within seconds of landing they'll probably just leave, despite being able to respawn them.

    Again, it's a problem on all versions, but I played plenty on ps4 and pc and so far the pc seems to have the worst case of this problem, while on ps4 it seems tame in comparison. For those reasons I'm going to stick with the ps4 version and just play on pc on occasion. Insert your "PC master race vs console peasant" jokes here.

    when that issue will be solved, in a way or another, then I'll probably return to pc and play it more. Right now I'm just tired to play solo in a BR game...because I can always download fortnite or buy pubg for that.    … Expand

Unlike other BR games, you play as a hero (in this case, Legend) with 3 abilities (1 passive, 1 active and 1 ultimate). The max amount of players is 60. The game's unique feature is the ability to respawn teammates even if they are shot down (provided you grab their banner and bring it back to a respawn site). The ability to ping anything you want to (enemie positions, loot, directions to an area, etc.) with R1 is very useful. The game runs at 50-60 fps on PS4 and feels twitchy. The core gameplay is a mix of CoD Blackout and Titanfall, you can frantically run and slide and climb walls just like in those games. The game has launched successfully, but it has issues.

    This game is very tough for solo players. You are forced to play in squads of 3 people (there is no solo mode at the moment), and if you haven't brought friends to co-ordinate with you'll be at a big disadvantage vs everyone else playing in a squad with teammates and comms. The frantic pace of the game means there is no room for being tactical, it's more about run n' gun. The current roster of Legends is horrible. But the ultimate sin is that 2 of the currently available Legends (Caustic and Mirage) are locked behind a paywall or a lot of grinding.

    At least Apex Legends is free to play. There is an in-game store selling 100s of cosmetics and skins. Thankfully there are no pay-to-win loot boxes so far. The real issue is you have to pay to unlock new Legends, and this may prove to be pay-to-win depending on their ability kits.

    The game quality is overall above average amount all the PUBG-like games. It's a good idea the game has different characters abilities and is designed as team work game, but no solo match is ruining my gaming experience. Yet, so many people are playing as solo, diving into crowd, getting knocked down, and then they will quit without giving their teammates a chance to revive them.

    Honestly, it still has issues. Finding out that most of the development was from TF2's engine and the various systems they created from those assets took a lot of time and balanacing. It's a hot reaction to both Fortnite's success and Anthem's imepending failure.

    Despite this, it's an ok game, and certainly the best in the battle royale realm at the moment. Maybe it can keep that, and    Honestly, it still has issues.

    I'm not the biggest fan of Battle Royale games due to their inherently repetitive nature, but I was a big fan of Titanfall 2.

As a result, the controls made me feel right at home immediately as they are almost identical except you can't run on walls, which is fine because in a game of this type I think that would have been more irritating than fun. Even the weapons are straight out of Titanfall which is awesome!

    Having said that, there are some issues with the game. First, it's still just another Battle Royale in most respects. They do quite a bit to change up the formula, but at the end of the day it isn't reinventing the wheel, just improving how well it rolls. The changes they DO bring are really welcome in this genre filled with literally identical games with different visuals and one with a um... *cough cough* braindead building mechanic *cough cough*. As someone who, when playing BR games, always preferred squad or duo gameplay, the best change is the ''forced'' coop. The hero shooter style character selection is really interesting and the skills are overall cool and useful when put into the right hands. BUT!!! And there's a big but here... The forced coop means dealing with Call of Duty solo players who don't give a flying F about team coordination. This means that more often than not I find myself with people who haven't the slightest idea how to cooperate with others and, of course, consistently end up dead only moments into the match while I'm left alone with two idiots downed with me incapable of picking up their flag to get the revive because they're surrounded by a couple of squads who are ACTUALLY playing together. This is an issue I've always had with hero shooter type games like Paladins or Overwatch (both games that I really enjoy), where something like a healer will try to be the main damage dealer while charging into a 5v1 situation with me standing by thinking ''in what world does it make sense to take on 5 players alone?''. But... Alot of gamers are selfish in nature and want to be the big top dog but always end up dead because it's not how you're meant to play... Unless it's COD. Skills in this game are best suited for squads who stick together and communicate. The ability to ping items and enemies and all that is great, but it does very little to replace ACTUAL vocal communication, especially since most players don't even really use the feature effectively. I think the forced coop is it's greatest change to the formula while simultaneously being it's weakest aspect. Weird, I know, but when you consider my experience with hero games and the lack of role understanding seen across the board this game is pretty frustrating. I see a lot of people saying a solo or duo playlist would make the game better, but I actually disagree. It's a team game by design... Most of the skills are less than useful when not supported by the powers of other characters, meaning solo would make most of the characters basically useless. Might as well just be another standard BR at that point. Know what I mean, jellybean?

    It's not all bad, mind you! I still give the game a 7 after all! Like I mentioned earlier, the hero selection is pretty awesome in my personal opinion. The gameplay is really silky smooth (at least on my PS4 PRO) and have faced very little in the way of bugs, framerate drops or anything else of that nature. The controls are as tight and sharp as I would have expected from the developers of Titanfall and the overall gunplay just feels right. The environments feel much more original than most BR games with an interesting blend of well connected but different locations. I also enjoy the fact that the matches don't feel excessively long and for the most part you don't spend much time running around without seeing players as the action is well balanced and there's very little downtime. compare that to something like PUBG where you can spend a goddam half-hour without seeing a soul and then suddenly BOOM! you're dead from some dude in a bush half a mile away and you are less likely to feel like the game is an utter waste of your precious gaming time. I also really like the fact that there's always a possibility to bring teammates back to life with a good high-risk high reward type of mechanic. Keeps the whole team engaged in the match even once they've been downed instead of just immediately leaving the server.

    Verdict: This is, in my opinion, the better option for a Battle Royale game with it's actual original take on the genre. Despite the issues with selfish and uncooperative teammates that plagues hero shooters there's alot of potential for fun and good times, especially with actual friends. The gameplay itself is tight and engaging and for the staggering price of 0$ you really have nothing to lose in playing a match or two to see if this game suits your tastes!    … Expand

    The battlepass right now is massively disappointing, I was hoping that it could, in one was or another, string away from what Fortnite was doing, but sadly, its even worse than Fortnites. First and foremost, if you don't buy the Premium Pass (battlepass) you will only get one item unlocked for every level, but if you do, you spent 10$ on something that could die any second now. In my old post, I said it's not PTP (Pay to Play) but this sparked up a new concept that's being thrown left and right. I call it PTLC (Pay To Look Cool). it may not seem like much, but its basically what Fornites doing, sure you got Apex packs, but those items in that battlepass aren't in the packs, so if your a collector trying to grind for everything, either pay to get said skins, or your out. I am very disappointed in Respawn to allow a style like this to be leaked in a game that has a 35/65 chance to beat Fornite, this definitely caused people to leave, either make a style like fortnite so at least people can have a option, and you get to unlock more. If this doesn't happen, this game can see a major divide and cause players to leave.
    If there is a slim Possibility that EA got involved when that happened, I wouldn't be surprised. At first, they did not expect for a game like this to literally hitting 5 million players on D1. I see two ways EA got involve.
    1. Microtransactions
    this does explain the battlepass issues I just talked about above, and if its true, I won't be surprised if they tweak the Apex Packs, I mean, they did it before.
    2. The base game
    Like any company, EA should've helped in the first place,, many have heard on how little support was held for the game, now its doing really well, they might've tried to take back the pilot seat and choose its new destiny, however this one is unlikely
    I know I said it has EA all over it, but now it might be true, I will be disappointed if this game fails.

    This last one, I will give Respawn a second chance on. The thing is, when we saw the code for possible solos and duos I think we all were jumping up and down like a birthday code. I just want to know why they didn't implement this in the first place. This is where I will give Respawn their second chance, I will allow the possibility of "Maybe its not ready yet" and people did say to take it with a grain of salt. This would've been perfect, new season and everything that we hoped for. Now for the thing, there may not be ranked mode for Apex. People believe that the code was meant for the battlepass, and it would make sense because, well, as I said, it should've released then and there, I mean, it could work well right there.

    I am really hoping that Respawn and EA can fix the issues, as if they are left unanswered, we will see a storm that could kill it. Those are the reasons why I changed my review.    … Expand

    The game generally looks good.
    No Fall damage is great, in a game like this.
    There are no titans, the vehicles in black ops 4 are bad enough, imagine a titan running around.
    So far at least, there is nothing pay to win about the game.
    There is no friendly fire, finally I don't have to kill my teammates before they kill me every single game.
    It is fun with friends.
    It's free.

    (Bad things)

    There is no solo mode, you have to play in teams of three which unless you have friends you can convince to play with you, means you will be stuck with a random team that tend to run off on their own, leave the game as soon as they die preventing you from reviving them, attempt to team-kill you the moment you find a good item or just because they feel like it, or they will steal the items out from under you.
    The game crashes, after almost every match, if not before the match even starts.
    Armor is a bit too much for me i didn't like it in black ops, and it's even worse here, every time I fought someone it felt like I was shooting a solid steel wall, and if it was the guy with the shield attachment, then it's like shooting a concrete wall surrounded by steel.
    Guns other than shotguns and snipers all feel like pea-shooters, unless you always get headshots you will be doing around 10-15 damage a hit, to people with 200 health, plus occasionally a shield with around 50 extra health.
    With the health and damage the way it is, you can't beat a team of 3 while on your own, unless you attack them while they are in a fight, or pick them off with a sniper, if you are anywhere near them or they see you they will just immediately rush you with shotguns and grenades.
    The melee is just as bad as every other battle royale that has it.
    Pistols and smgs are worthless, you might as well punch them.
    Gun modifications don't really add anything to your guns, other than the sights.
    The effects given by mods are insignificant, I've never noticed a difference between having a white barrel, or when I have a purple.
    The guns are all obvious reskins of other existing or in-game guns, Prowler is a P90, p2020 is a generic pistol, Wingman is a slightly thiccer generic revolver, Devotion is an m249, G7 Scout is an M14, etc.

    And "high risk loot" areas dropping pistols and smgs, while "low risk loot" areas drop Longbow's, and G7 scouts makes no sense to me, I've had this happen a few times now.

You get weapons and set-abilities that are all cut out of the Titanfall games (for the most part) that are scavenged on a map that you drop in on with a fixed 3-man team that is controlled by a single player so you can stay together easier (or you can split up if you choose with the press of a button and drop wherever you prefer). This game is designed from the ground up to be a 3-man squad shooter/survival experience, so there's no solo mode and queueing up with a group of random people is going to be... rough. Communication, capability, precision, and a little luck is what you need working in tandem to win a game, even just getting to the top 3 squad showdown at the end. Playing by yourself is risky, to say the least. I find myself an above-average player for shooters and survival games and I have a hard time making it more than a few minutes beyond the initial drop if my team dropped anywhere near another team. Playing with a group of friends completely changes the outcome - I typically make top 10 most of the time (haven't landed the #1 spot as of writing this review). Everything about this game looks promising but I don't think it's ready for primetime. Simply not having a solo mode is a mild turnoff and simply copying and pasting the Titanfall universe content and pasting it into a BR map lacks imagination and I'm surprised to accuse Respawn Entertainment of that since Titanfall was fairly creative and unique. There's also only one map at launch and it gets old after a while if you're going to binge this game. Oh, it's only 60 players total which, depending on whether teams fan out or condense at the start, feels like a low population cap as there are games where my team would see zero other players until the final phases. Apex Legends is a nice foundation but it has a lot of work to do in order to really challenge PUBG and Fortnite for BR dominance. It feels a lot like Call of Duty's Blackout mode and that's another problem that surfaces - this game exists already within COD Black Ops 4. Apex Legends might be free to play but a load of people were already playing BO4 and it seems to me that people were fairly happy with Blackout. To put it simply: Apex Legends wants to stand out but after 10 hours of play I don't think it does. If it weren't free I'd never buy it. I have some fun with it and I am confident that RE will work to deepen the experience (classes are very limited at launch and desperately need to be expanded upon) but as of the time of writing this review I don't think Apex Legends is anything more than a flash in the pan. I could be wrong but it comes out during a busy games season that include The Division 2 and Anthem which will be launched just a few weeks after Apex Legends was made available.… Expand

    Not much to talk about here. Classic battle royale and fun, and not much more than that.

    During its first couple of months after release, I probably would've given it a 10. Since then though it has progressively gotten worse. Half the guns in the game are just straight-up garbage the new map is too spread out with no top tier places to drop. Kings canyon got worse too after the removal of skulltown. It just isn't as fun as its competitors in its early state. Hopefully respawnDuring its first couple of months after release, I probably would've given it a 10.

    J'aime énormément le jeux , mais il y a le systèmes de loot box qui est très peu viable , je suis presque lvl 300 et toujours aucun pack héritages malgrès avoir ouvert énormément de pack , le taux d’obtention est affreusement bas et le nombre de pack héritages grandit de plus en plus , ça pousse a l'achat d'une façon très malsaine , les skins valent le prix d'un jeux indé , les serveursJ'aime énormément le jeux , mais il y a le systèmes de loot box qui est très peu viable , je suis presque lvl 300 et toujours aucun pack héritages malgrès avoir ouvert énormément de pack , le taux d’obtention est affreusement bas et le nombre de pack héritages grandit de plus en plus , ça pousse a l'achat d'une façon très malsaine , les skins valent le prix d'un jeux indé , les serveurs sont passables , les événements assez rares et les 3/4 des skins déblocables sont payant , je trouve ça révoltant , donc bon de la part de EA je m'attendais pas a un si bon jeux mais il gâches leurs jeux a vouloir en faire une pompe a fric… Expand

    The best Battle royale with guns out there. It's also quite balanced and is fun to play.

    I had fun with this game playing with friends, but that's not much of a compliment. Apex Legends is competent at what it does, nothing more. As a result, the game is as good as your friends.

    It's free, so you might as well play it with someone if you have the time. Just don't try it by yourself.

    La verdad, van pasando 11 temporadas y este juego es lo mismo, eliges a una leyenda, buscas donde caer, te mata un equipo pred mientras que tu equipo son solo jugadores de Free Fire y al looby y repetir. a sido lo mismo desde hace 2 años, debe haber algo nuevo ya para este juego

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rare for me to get into a multiplayer game.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (7) Average.
    The game’s features may work, but are nothing that even casual players haven’t seen before. A decent game from beginning to end.

    They combined Battle-Royal with a Hero-Shooter. Solely a multiplayer game and is pretty fun. Don't have much to add besides that.    … Expand

    The best shooter on the market currently. The gunplay is a bit too fast, and the grind is kinda silly to get new characters.

    Ultimately, it doesn't do anything great, it is merely good. But I'd rather play this to scratch my shooter itch over COD or Battlefield.

    Pretty fun but way too much grinding involved to get any wins. One of the better battle royales as theres different playstyles between the characters.

    Apex feels like an EAs version of fortnight, there is just so little that makes this game unique. While the gameplay is fun it gets repetitive due to the lack of game modes.

    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.

    There are many free to play Battle Royale games out there that are vying for your attention, but Apex Legends takes the genre to new heights with its superb gunplay, Moreish game loop and a superb communication mechanic.
