    The only good battleroyale game out there that I enjoy, and it's free!

The hero abilities (smoke, health drone, and ultimates like artillery blasts, care package, etc) are a unique twist, but none of them are game changers, and quite frankly seemed a little bit uninspired. But I'm sure there will be more characters introduced down the line, (the grind does seem a little bit long to unlock hidden characters however). Titanfall mechanics and weapons, overwatch abilities and micro transaction system; and even a hint of borderlands loot system. When you get down to the nitty gritty of it, it's glorified team death match, but it's free so I ain't complaining,… Expand

    Jogo é bom e gratuito.

    Das Spiel ist im großen und ganzen sehr gut! Gameplay und Abläufe flüssig und sehr angenehm zum spielen. Kein Pay to Win, alles kann mit Spielzeit genauso gewonnen werden wie mit echt Geld. Für Leute die Titanfall oder Shooter allgm mögen ist dieses Spiel sehr zu empfehlen

    I never got into BR games before. I think the solo experience often felt as hollow as grinding through CoD to obtain prestige, only then to feel I can't be bothered to go round the clock again.

    Apex, somehow, has me hooked though.

    Perhaps it's the team play, each character having a few unique perks that can play well for others in the squad, or, perhaps its just that Apex is an incredibly polished game considering its free.

    I downloaded Apex within 24hrs of release "just to give it a go" and found myself squandering sleep to get one more round in. I started mic'd up and ready to chat, but found most people don't bother with mics at all, and whilst on most CoOp / team play games this would be a killer, Apex smoothly overcomes that with - what is - an epic means of communication by a simple 'ping' mechanism. It works so well, that I now only switch my mic on to congratulate our team on being the round Champions.

    Perhaps my love of Evolve and fact the community died long before my love of it did left a void of good team play FPS, and Apex has filled that void brilliantly. It's incredibly well balanced, no pay to win, and when you finish a round with 10 kills, be it 1st or 10th, you are rewarded for doing so. I don't feel I'm grinding levels to actually get anywhere, I'm just enjoying playing with random people and working alongside them to win. There's often frustration when you are teamed with people that quit on jumping in, or quit on the select menu (presumably as they've not got a 2nd character they wish to play as)... but these are easily forgotten as you start the next round, and a few times I've come top3 even starting with a 2 man disadvantage thanks to quitters.
    I've also used Facebook to gain more PSN friends and hook up with them when we're all on - a good idea if you want to make a solid squad, or prefer using mic to pinging (though if you don't learn to ping - then your dead meat anyhow really)

    Overall it's a solid 8.5/10. I think the User score of 6.9 is hilarious given people have given it Zero, for a free, very polished, very fun FPS with team mechanics, just because it's not some other game they play, or because it is BR. I do dislike other BR games, but it's less about the BR factor in Apex, it's more about headshots, reviving team mates and sticking together. If your considering downloading it, you've literally nothing other than 26GB to lose, do it and see for yourself - it's a fun game!    … Expand

    Probably the best of the battle royale games to come out. Fast paced, fluid, and controls well. The special abilities add a lot to each character and do help give them some unique qualities (Fortnite and PUBG, take note). I also found the ping system wonderful to use, and adds a better level of team-oriented play. Not a perfect game, but definitely the peak of the battle royale craze.

    The ping system works well and the game is a huge amount of fun. The main thing that lets it down is other players who either do not want to work in a team.

I do not mean that they can't revive or collect your banner due to enemies, but that they down the last enemy member, walk past you when you are down or out and just ignore you, despite you having revived them. The players that do not play as a team let this team game down, otherwise it can be amazing. It needs a few tweaks and there are balancing issues or kill detection issues, but otherwise it is fantastic. The best Battle Royale I have played.

    Now respawn just needs to penalise players who quit early ( when players like me will revive you) and those who do not work as a team. Or maybe add a solo mode for these players to disappear to.    … Expand

I guess you'll just have to play one of the other 987,498,000 games with heterosexual, white, male leads to satisfy that gun-toting, savior complex you've been carrying around since puberty.

    This game is virtually perfect. If you can get past the association with EA then it's just pure, unadulterated fun. The economy is currently out of whack, but until the battle passes are outlined I am reserving judgement on that front. I've also felt no need to spend any money on it yet despite wanting to. Skins and banners are fun but this game is no Overwatch. The cosmetics on offer simply don't have that same level of polish and panache...yet.

    As for the gameplay it's absolutely spot on. The shooting feels great, the movement is incredible (quit complaining about no wall running), and the communication system might be industry changing level good. Best BR on the market.    … Expand

    I enjoyed the variety with each weapon and how attachments are essential to gain the upper hand against another player. How each character is designed to have different abilities that offers a bit of excitement. Considering how it was released out of nowhere the servers are pretty solid, with the exception of lag every now and then. Either the servers are extremely slow as if the world was in slow-motion, or I teleport from one location to another but this is tolerable since it's not often I get them.

    The controls are very simple to understand and the mechanics will be easy to master only after a few games. Sliding is actually my favorite mechanic since it helps us traverse the map at a faster pace and the balloons are interesting points to enter the circle when it closes in.

    Since it's free-to-play it's obvious that there are micro-transactions but that's to be expected and they're not required in the slightest, just for people with money to spend at their leisure.

    This is fun to play by yourself, but even better to play with others since you're always entering with two other people regardless. Once again, it's free-to-play, so give it a try and enjoy the mayhem!    … Expand

After playing video games since the times of Wolfenstein 3D and Prehistoric ( Yes I guess I`m  also prehistoric :) ) ,I am seeing a trend in recent years, a nasty plague that is a coming from spoiled society and has come also to video games, and that is game assistance for bad players that is the most evident in sports games but has also come to shooters in recent years in many forms. So the hardcore competitive gaming is dying, not only because of pay to win company greed but also because of the pressure of the modern society on the companies because of frustrated spoiled brats. In the race you cant give everybody gold medal, there is only one winner and Respawn Entertainment thankfully said f*** y** noobs.The game is simple as it can be, classic battle royale game where the emphasis is on the cooperation between three players in the squad. Not only that you have to be good at first person shooters you also have to be good team player and have a great tactical sense since the positioning of your team is vital. If you are not good at the things that I mentioned sorry, you will die. And I understand that after the time you have spent looting and if you feel that you are such a good player that you can alone face entire team and than probably fail miserably, or if you just suck, you would feel frustrated and then come here and basically **** about it.The game for me is revolutionary masterpiece, every aspect of the game was thought about and executed in great detail and not only that they have until now always listened to the community and delivered even more that could be possibly expected for a FREE game.I honestly cant remember if I played better game in a lifetime of gaming. Thank you Respawn Entertainment!… Expand

    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.
