    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.

    It’s six in my review because of original gameplay features.

This game makes it more difficult than it needs to be for you when being left alone because your team mates die when it's completely out of your control. If they added modes to suit more people it would have potential but as it goes for me, the game deserves a 4, but due to the way the social media team ignore the players questions and lack of transparency it deserves one less, because it's all part of the experience.

    To go slightly more in depth, the super strong armour makes it take a long time to kill any one enemy, at any given time. Due to the sound of the gunfire going off for such a prolonged period you're giving your position away so you've usually got several people on you, okay if there's 3 of you, not when you're on your own. When you constantly get put with players who die upon landing this just leads to frustration. Most of the time the game is literally you vs all the other players. I find it quite idiotic that the developers didn't realise this would be the case before, seems quite stupid. We live in a world of division, forcing people to play together isn't going to unite the world it's just going to make people behave toxic, which is apparent every time you hear someone who is actually using a mic. When you do have players who stick together it can be enjoyable but you're still pretty much fighting each other the entire game for loot. Your so called team mates steal loot you got kills for, even sometimes after you have just revived them. All in all the game is highly addictive but it just doesn't cater to enough people. The only reason I hate it so much is because I know how potentially good it is, from the very few games I have had with squads who stay together, but it feels like it sort of blames you for having no friends to play with.

    Its a great game with much potential. But at the time it lacks in content and the skins for the legends are very uncreative. The gameplay feels good. The weapons feel very impactful and sliding down a hill is so fun, epsecially when you are getting chased by the storm. I had a very fun time playing with some friends tho.

    I am taking down my old post. I feared on what was going to happen when season one came out, that the battle pass will divide the community up more than it originally did, I feared that it was going to have EA take more control then it did in the beginning, and I feared that this game would not have what we hoped for that was stated in the code, although my old post is rubbish now, I don'tI am taking down my old post.

    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.

    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 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.

As each new game drops, they have to quickly find some ammunition and fend for themselves or camp just long enough to rack up some experience to make it to that final ring. So far, there have been some casualties (looking at you Radical Heights), but every game knocked out of the competition eases the path of the juggernauts (looking at you Fortnite) to claim that chicken dinner/victory royale/etc. But newcomer APEX Legends (which dropped on February 4th, 2019) has not only avoided being knocked out by its stiff competition, it’s grabbed some heavy artillery and shotgunned its way to that final ring.

    Technical
    Developer Respawn has certainly done their homework when it comes to crafting an appealing gaming experience that rewards daily play but pleases the player by the minute. Playing on the PS4, I encountered very few hiccups with most of my problems stemming from network connections. There is seemingly a dependable laggy beginning to each game with avatars stuttering and puttering to the ground. Usually, that lag does not continue must after touching ground, but it is noticeable. The frame-rate stays pretty constant and the controls are tight, allowing for each match to feel like a failure on the player’s part and not the game’s. I was dropped from a game once due to a crash in the game, but since recent updates, I have not encountered that problem a second time.

    Presentation
    At first glance of APEX, it’s easy to make the comparison to its two biggest competitors. It has the cartoonish aesthetic similar to Fortnite and blends it with the realistic/militaristic look of PUBG. While sharing elements of both game’s design choices, it carves out a look and feel of its own. The world looks like it COULD exist but probably doesn’t which makes each round feel like playing in a make-believe fantasy rather than a dire warzone. The game’s avatars, called “Legends”, all benefit from this design aesthetic too. They all have relatable, recognizable traits but at the same time look like they were once sketches existing in a high schoolers notebook: they look like larger-than-life people born to wreck shop in a shoot and loot competition. The game is colorful and fun which is missing from a lot of entertainment these days. It’s nice to login to a world that is fully realized and rekindles the memories of playing with GI Joe’s or watching saturday morning cartoons.

    Gameplay
    Now, any Battle Royale is going to live or die by its gameplay, specifically how much we’re rewarded for sticking with the game. Luckily, APEX has hit that sweet spot (initially at least, since as of this review, its Battle Pass has yet to launch) with cosmetic items being able to be won through good-ole grinding or with real money through the ingame store. Luckily, no one is able to buy a game-winning weapon or perk, so everyone is always on an even playing field. There are two unlockable Legends, but they are no more capable of winning a game than the other base six characters. Earning them through leveling up is satisfying and doesn’t take too long. The game also rewards each level up with a currency called “crafting metal” which allows players to make skins and items to customize their banners (similar to a business card shown before each match). At this point, many of the skins and customizers are not “must-haves”, the player doesn’t feel left out or fears being called a “no-skin”. Beyond the look of the game, the feel of it is great too. As mentioned before, the controls are tight with each of the games character possessing a unique ability that allows each of the characters to perform differently while still feeling equal to the others. Some characters allow for mid fight healing while others can call for cover fire. Some characters can teleport amidst the field and others can create bulletproof barriers. No one ability is a sure-win as they do have to be played creatively and tactically, so the game often feels like a rock-paper-scissors duel among machine gun fire and frag grenades. Each match feels so fun and rewarding that as my squad falls, I leave the match ASAFP to join the next game matching up.

    Conclusion
    This game is going to change. Characters will be nerf’d; the map will change; new characters will cause balancing issues; and new guns and abilities will eventually change the way we play. Oh yeah, and money, we will all likely be spending money on this game. But Respawn has laid down incredible groundwork that should give players reason to relax and embrace the change knowing it’ll be for the better. This is a game that everyone should be playing or at least trying (it’s free-to-play, c’mon). The game is fresh and offers variety to a tried and true model, and has legit promise to make this a game fit to last years. Give it a try.

    Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall spin-off should have been an easy contender for the coveted title of best battle royale game on the market. It has several innovatove systems, unique mechanics, and an identity all its own. Unfortunately a plethora of technical issues prevent it from being anything more than a source of frustration and disappointment.

    The ping system is by far the game's greatest achievement. It allows you to communicate a wide array of information to your teammates with the simple press of a button. You no longer need to cross your fingers and hope everyone on your squad has a mic when jumping into a match with randoms. Apex Legends makes it surprisingly easy to coordinate without saying a single word. A good thing as the entire package is built around grouping up.

    You'll find no solo options here. It's you and two other people all the way. A concept that's made a little more interesting thanks to the 8 playable "Legends" characters (6 of which are available from the start) that each have their own unique abilities. With no one on your squad being able to select the same character it's up to you to choose the one that best complements whoever your teammates picked all while finding the one that best suits your playstyle.

    All of this mixed with the smaller player count compared to its contemporaries and Titanfall's excellent gunplay should have been an easy recipe for success. However, Apex Legends is something of an unpolished mess when it comes to server stability. Which means whenever I'm not suffering through an obscene amount of lag, I'm regularly losing my connection to the match all together just as things start to get good. Even when booting it up for the first time I can see the game struggling with simple character animations in the main menu. Obviously, this isn't an issue for everyone as I've seen plenty of people who have been able to climb high in the ranks, but I honestly don't believe that it's just my internet connection as I can play the technical dumpster fire that is Fallout 76 with next to no issues. As it stands, there are a lot of good ideas in this battle royale, but for me and others I'm sure it's currently in a state that's unplayable.

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.

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.

    Apex Legends has been a big success thanks to Fortnite and PUBG's previous success. The game is good, but Respawn need to address the issues.

I play a couple more games and run into a VERY toxic community.

    I level a few times, and I can only get ONE kill... even though I play FPS games almost exclusively. The problem is that this game caters to run and gun style players. Try being tactical and your team craps on you.

    In the end, I don't recommend this game unless you have two other friends who will group with you. The matchmaking is TERRIBLE, and it forces you to play against and with sweaty try hards. After two days I deleted the game off my system.

    I will consider playing again if they put in a solo mode, but as things are right now, I won't be playing this game again.

Hit markers are off a little as certain characters are impossible to hit as they strafe. There are plenty of guns to choose from but the initial landing seems like a pain as guns are not abundant at certain locations. For example I looted 5 houses in a village area and found zero guns. Character classes are kinda lame and I wish they would have stuck with a create a class system similar to Titanfall. Outside of that, this game is addicting and a lot of fun to play with friends.

    (Good things)
    The ping system is great, especially when you can't or just really don't want to talk to the people in your party.
    The guns are fun to use.
    The guns have ammo counters physically on them to somewhat realistically show you how much ammo you have left.
    The powers/abilities each character gets are helpful if not also fun to use.
    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.

    This is an EA game (Personal complaint, I didn't reduce a point because of that)

Someone who loved Titanfall 2, and was worried about this game. This game fixes most of the big problems with battle royale games and has its own unique twist and style. The game looks incredible especially for being made on the source engine. Lighting is really good and the textures are mostly as well. The only problem i have graphically is some textures randomly popping in and out of the game. The sound design is also really good even though the voice acting can be pretty bad and the music is solid. But lets get to the bread and butter of this experience: the game-play. The weapons are mostly the same from Titanfall 2, with some new additions and some of the old ones are gone, but their is a great variety of unique, stylish weapons to choose from. The shooting is mostly the same as well, and of course it is buttery smooth and precise. The heroes are obviously the biggest part of this game and they are great. Their isn't many of them but each one has a unique role to play and various abilities to help your team or destroy the enemies. The enhanced focus on team-play is a huge change of pace and is greatly welcomed. The map isn't to huge but each area is filled with a different location and the environments are all varied. This game is also very daring, introducing more in depth respawn systems and sliding to move around the map fast. The progression system is pretty good as well and decent stuff can be earned pretty quickly but the heroes feel like a grind. Unfortunately the game doesn't offer much outside of the one mode that it has. I am sure the lack of other content will be fixed but i wish it had a little more out the gate. Overall, Apex legends is a unique twist on battle royale and Respawn has continued to impress me. Expand

    Out of all the battle royal games out there, Apex Legends is the most fun I've played. The game's PING system is probably it's most innovative feature as it allows you to communicate with your teammates without ever having to use a mic. This is great for people who don't like chatting with randoms online. Plus, the game is free to play, so there is no excuse for not giving this game a shot.

    dont even get me started on the server connection. my buddy and i regularly get booted out of the game. im not talking **** wifi, im talking , the game just shuts down.

    I like the zipline travelling , i think its ingenious compared to the vehicles in other BR games, so thats a plus.

    Also the game seems to be a huuuge gamble when it comes to landing zones. You can land in an area and only have handguns and random attachments lying around, while the people who landed in the area next to you get Epic tier loot. good luck surving your first gun fight at that point, armed with a popsicle stick and a tissue for armor

    overall, good thing its FTP because if i had to pay for it, it'd be a solid Pass.

    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!

    At the time of writing, Apex Legends is unstable. Does not count hit, falls fps. And now let's move on to the huge minus of the game, because of which you will lose a lot of nerves. It is the impossibility of playing alone. Get ready to play with a stupid, passive, noninitiative, deaf, blind, selfish players who were beaten up with books at school when they were learning the meaning of the words "team" and "interaction."

    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.

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!

    A very solid free-to-play first person class-based battle royale game. It's very well polished and has great fast paced game play with a strong emphasis on teamwork. My main complaint is there isn't a solo squad which is understandable due to the classes but unfortunate for people who don't wanna play with randoms. Duos would've been pretty cool too, but unfortunately there is only trios.A very solid free-to-play first person class-based battle royale game.

    This is a great game to try out for free. The game itself is hard for most people to win that is part of the fun. Watching yourself get better and finally getting a win is very satisfying. There are many BR games out now but this one does it just as good if not better than all of the others.

    I would normally give this an 8 or 9, but since we have butt-hurt people who have never played the game or are terrible at the game or are just awful in general giving ZEROES, I will give this game 10/10... there have been few games given away for free as good as this. To give a game of this magnitude a zero or 1 is asinine at best.

    The shooting is phenomenal, the squad based tactics really enjoyable, the map design excellent, and the ping system is truly the best I've ever seen, with an amazing attention to detail. Best of all, it's free. If you're a Battle Royale hater you

    If you're a Battle Royale hater you shouldn't even post reviews here because this game obviously isn't made for you. The game is free so you can try it if you like, and if you don't like it just uninstall it.

    But seriously, hating on this game because it's a Battle Royale game is the same as hating on Overwatch because it's a Hero Shooter.

    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!

    I really wanted to hate it. First, because it's Battle Royale, and every other BR game I played before seemed so god damn pointless. Second, because it's EA or at least under their roof, and we all know - EA is worse than Satan. Unfortunately, I also tend to be honest with myself and this accursed piece of **** game is just really fun.

Unfortunately, I also tend to be honest with myself and this accursed piece of **** game is just really fun.

    Gunplay is great. Guns differ vastly, there are MULTIPLE powerful guns to utilize and they pack quite an audio-visual punch, Mobility is fun and very fluid - you slide, gain momentum, jump to slide again and wallclimb. Once you get into a chain of motion, it's very good. And the rest?

    It's Battle Royale that fixes my main issues with other BR games. You have fun, engaging respawn system, that really let you build yourself back from a bad start. You have a STUNNING pinging system that let you communicate with astonishing detail without heaving a mic on or listening to some whiny brats. The map is brilliantly made, with both wide spaces, tight building and plenty of verticality. Add ziplines everywhere, dropship and droppods and you get one surprisingly tactical game.

    Comparing this to Overwatch is kinda ridiculous. In OV all heroes are very, very unique beings with everything differing between them. Here the passives, ults and abilities are more like... Cherry on the top. Sure, they can be a huge boon when used well, but honestly it's still steady hand, cold blood and good reactions that will win you the game, not any ability.

    It's... first BR game that really pulled me in.

    One of the, if not the best BR game out there right now. It's free, gameplay is fun, microtransactions are cosmetic only (and the cosmetics you get are great, unlike Fortnite). Respawn took a take at this genre and got it right. I am not a fan of BR games and never got hooked to any of them, but this one is just a lot more polished and enjoyable than all the others

    For a game that's not Titanfall 3 (which has somehow been shelved for the time being), it sure is a fresh new approach on the Battle Royale genre. Instead of just going in solo (which is an invitation to have a bad time) the game puts you in squads, making communication more important then ever. But even if you don't have a mic, you can still ping an item, gun, or an enemy!

But even if you don't have a mic, you can still ping an item, gun, or an enemy! I can understand why they didn't put in any of the Titanfall 2 mechanics, it would be sheer chaos having grappling hooks shoot off, people wall running all over the place. One of the absolute best things in this game that separates it from Fortnite is the fact that all the characters are there except for the 2 you can use in-game currency to unlock (which you can earn without microtransactions!). You get skills and you can revive teammates, probably one of my pics for biggest surprise of 2019! 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.

    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.
