    If the game crashes to desktop roll back from the latest Nvidia drivers. 418.81 is the reason for the game crashing. Rolled back yesterday and it works perfectly. Best game ever.

    A strange mix between Overwatch, CoD, a bit of Warframe with a Titanfall background. It comes with fresh ideas in battle royal concept, mixing games styles as we are seeing with Realms Royale or CoD.

The free-to-play game offers a good character evolution, asking for your real money only for skins stuff, everything being accessible with gaming time.
    Showing the power of the Source Engine, this game is beautiful and far from the "cheap toy style" of the similar proposal coming from CoD. This only makes me imagine how amazing can be a battle royal with Frosbite in Battlefield. Gungame feelings are perfect, as they were in the Titanfall saga.

    BUT this game is not for those who are seeking something more realistic, calmed and pure real war strategy. This is pure action with magic, instant regeneration, weird magical movements as Titanfall and Overwatch, avoiding any realistic battle strategy possibility where dead is not even definitive anymore.

    After the first goods vibes, this game goes far in the exploration of this new game style... but still not enough groundbreaking to offer something really interesting (for me).

    I've played PUBG, Fortnite, and Blackout. Apex Legends is the best experience I've had with a Battle Royale. I'm a solo player and playing the previous 3 I mentioned was overwhelming.

    I've played PUBG, Fortnite, and Blackout. Apex Legends is the best experience I've had with a Battle Royale. I'm a solo player and playing the previous 3 I mentioned was overwhelming.

    While the gameplay for Fortnite can be fun at times and is fast paced, I hated the building side of things. I'm just not that quick to react. And lets be serious. There is rarely original final battles in Fortnite. It's just build, build, build to not get shot.

    PUBG and Blackout are nearly identical gameplay-wise and pace. Gameplay can be fun, but seems more fun when playing with a squad of friends. The pace is slow. Maybe map size to player count ratio has something to do with that. I don't know. I feel like I spend more time out of the games than I do in them at times.

    Apex Legends seems to take the best parts of the previous 3 (and possibly others). It's fun and fast paced like Fortnite. The guns feel good like PUBG/Blackout. Throw in some character perks ala R6:S/Overwatch, and you've got a great game! Are you like me and aren't really a mic person? Great! They have a ping system that allows you to mark targets, items, where you want to go, acknowledgements, and more. It's easy to use too!

    The game is free to play. Do yourself a favor and try it out. Sure it's EA and sure there are 'lootboxes'. But they are all cosmetic. So just don't buy them.

    Como una persona a la que no le gustan los battle royales, tengo que admitir que me encuentro PERDIDO por este juegazo. Han tomado lo mejor de varios juegos, y lo han mezclado de una manera entretenida. El juego tiene unos gráficos que te sacan el aire, la jugabilidad es excelente. ¡Completo adicto!

    -ammo counts are extremely low and tiny clip sizes make it pretty much impossible to take on multiple enemies in a single fight
    -hit boxes are very inconsistent
    -high level shields and armor pretty much guarantee a high ranking and at least 3 full mags to take down one enemy
    -about half of the weapons are completely useless

    If Respawn can rework the weapons and armor, i can easily give this game an 8 or 9 but its current state needs some attention to balance the game for all. Worth a download

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

    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.

    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.

    Haven't been addicted to a game like this since, well, Fortnite. Steady loot drops, diverse characters, and a quick return to action after death is a recipe for success in the genre. Plus, it looks stunning.

    The best battle royale ever made is ironically one that is entirely free. Apex Legends is simply a blast to play, whether it's with friends or strangers. The only downside is that the servers sometimes crash. Other than that, this is one of the best games you can possibly try for free.

    I'm glad I did.

    For starters some of the game mechanics are phenomenal. The game has a "ping" system where you are able to point out objects, locations and enemies with ease. This allows to play whole rounds without using a mic. Another great mechanic is the games revive system. If you were to get downed by an enemy, your teammate has the chance to revive you (like every battle royal) but If you were to get killed, your teammate can grab your tag and bring it to a revive station. BAM, you're back in the game. This adds a unique spin and I love it.

    One this that should be said is that right now you can only play as a 3 person team. I've played a good amount of games with a full squad and as solo w/ randoms. So far I've won 2 games with the squad and 1 game with just one random. Regardless, each match was fun, entertaining, and exciting. I know that they will be adding more game match options but even as it it now, its fun!

    I've player majority of the battle royal games out today and this is how I would put them into order (top being better):

    Apex Legends
    PUBG
    Fortnite
    Black Ops: Blackout
    Ark: Survival of the Fittest
    H1Z1
    Realm Royale
    The Culling

    I am excited to see where this game goes!

    Personal score: 9/10

    It's astounding to me that this concept took so long to find a footing: Overwatch meets Battle Royale. Blizzard should be kicking themselves they didn't launch their roster into a Royale mix a year ago.

    Obviously, the comparisons pretty much end with "pre-set Heroes fighting in an ever-smaller map" but it's a solid idea that's executed well by the team that brought us Titanfall. The map creates a really excellent feel of scale with massive cliffs and canyons to fight and navigate through, large and fairly well-spaced constructs, and solid if familiar weaponry (a fair amount of the weapons are copy/pasted in from Titanfall's exisiting armory).

    I really enjoy the experience, it feels new and fresh relative to the barrage of Battle Royales, as you can truly feel the developer's experience with FPS combat and gunplay here. One of my favorite parts of the game too is the audio design- rifles crack and bullets hiss, and a firefight in a canyon sounds exactly like you'd expect: rolling, booming thunderclaps, the whip-like snaps of distant sniper fire, and if you add in one or two of the artillery-based "ultimate" abilities such as Gibraltar's precision air-strike, you've got a really engrossing visual and acoustic shooter.

    My only hard complaint is that certain character abilities seem to lack general usefulness. While those like lifeline's healbot and Gibraltar's bubble shield are pretty universally helpful, some like Bloodhound's tracking are context-specific.

    Grab two friends, download it, and marvel at how lucky we are that games this polished and well-executed are free.

    For other true gamers who have good taste with some intelligence then stay away from NB2K, FIFA, Madden, and Fortnite 2.0. Instead go and play Monster Hunter World, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and God of War. Your IQ may increase playing those games since its a one time charge.. .

    I have to admit, I am hating myself for this too. I never got into Fortnite or PUBG because the genre never appealed to me and those games still don't. However, I do like Respawn and was willing to try if for the sake of that. And I'm glad I did. Respawn somehow was able to maneuver around EA's red tape and greediness and develop a good game.

    The game is probably one of the best running Free-to-Play games out there. And I don't mean that as a diss. It truly is smooth and the graphics are beautiful. The "team" battle royale feeling adds something to the pot in this game for someone like me who is sketchy on multiplayer games. I feel like their are true tactics I can speak in regards to my team as to how to feel safe which makes the headset I spent $70+ on feel like a good investment for once.

    Yes, their are microtransactions in this game, however, AS OF NOW, it doesn't have an effect in gameplay.

    My honest argument is give it a try. I don't like the battle royale genre myself, but honestly, even this one got me hooked. Were it not for being by Respawn, I would have never tried it, but I am honestly glad I did. If you try it and don't like it, hey it's free. Go on with your live and live happy and merry knowing you never spent a dime on it. But try it first.

You feel like every weapon is viable (except maybe Mosambique) and every Legend or Hero is contributing to your playstyle. There is nothing 'OP' in this game, everything is useable.
    Other great thing are the graphics and atmosphere. The world and every character is crafted with lots of details. You can feel the personality on each Legend and you can customize your Hero how you want with various skins, poses, stats and badges. You can build your own "legacy" with each Legend because your stats and badges are fitting to the one Legend you played.
    If you win a game, you get appreciated through being the champion next game. So everybody knows who to look after and can see you on different big posters throughout the map. It gives you an extra rush seeing you on a big screen hanging there, visible for everyone.
    Only a few deaths are really getting you to rage, normally you'll rage a lot but through clever design choices with armor, HP and TTK you have the chance to win every gun fight and even win games when you are not the biggest 'aimer' in the world.
    On top of all that, it got released in a finished state and is free to play. The prices for the premium currency are more then fair and only thing you can buy are cosmetics, no pay to win what so ever.
    The only big bad thing for me is Origin. Origin is just not working, lots of issues with connecting to friends, to the game and to a lobby.

    You see, I am a big fan of this game. No game got me that addicted and no game feels so good.
    Even if you dont like Battle Royale, this game is nothing like PUBG for example. GIve it a try, trust me.

    When the game loads into a game, it looks great and plays like a dream. However, actually getting into a game is practically impossible thanks to constant games freezing (for 30+ seconds), matchmaking bugs, audio clipping and slowdowns, and a whole host of other issues.

Smooth gunplay, alternate methods of transportation instead of vehicles...I like how you can revive your teammates even after they're killed and the ping system is very convenient. The character abilities are pretty cool and you'll need to use at the right time and place in order to get the dub. I'm personally disappointed that you can't play duo or squad but maybe respawn will change that when they add more legends or something. You can't wall run :(((((( (maybe add lootable magnetic boots for metal surfaces later???) and there are no Titans (add Titans to high tier loot areas, repair kits, repair legend later???).Plus, something's up with Origin's launcher in terms of tracking my hours. I've played at least 12 hours, not 52. A lot of hate for Legends is because it's another battle royale with micro transactions and the characters being annoying (i can sympathize lol. Emo goth wraith saying emo stuff and gibraltar is loud af) and "forced diversity" (just play as Pathfinder if skin color matters to you that much) and EA is terrible blah blah blah. None of the micro transactions effect the gameplay whatsoever--they're purely cosmetic (just like fortnite and PUBG). You can easily get skins for gaining XP. And news flash, developers need money to continue to update their games and pay their employees to make new ones, especially for a free-to-play. Expand

    More pointless esport garbage in an industry that is deluged in anti consumer esport garbage. Takes the current trend of the moment in esports of Battle royale and brings it to the underwhelming Titanfall universe.

    The apex of what is wrong with "gaming" in this day and age. Taking the format of multiplayer driven "gameplay" psychologically unhealthy repetitive behavior, exploiting the most basic of human "meetoo" fomo triggers to con people into doing the exact same thing they have done for hundreds upon hundreds of hours before, whilst paying for the privilege to be manipulated.

    Even if you look beyond the inherent flaws of the nature of the product and objectively examine it what you find is a paper thin shell that amounts to little more than buggy "rooms" for people to create the content of interacting with other people.

    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.

    The Apex of a solution to a problem nobody has by answering a question nobody asked.

    Despite the crashes and server issues, this is the type of BR I, and many others have been waiting for, since Fortnite. This can be summarized in 4 areas: Gun Play, Movement, Looting and using equipment, and Something Different.

    Gun Play: Solid and fun. Bullets hit were I aim and the lack of bloom while ads is a godsend, however some guns need some tweaking to help with the high time to kill.

    Movement: Sometimes slow feeling but overall fluid, so long as you don't get the rubber banding bug.

    Looting/using: A-1! No overly complicated drop/pickup mechanic, using meds/shields is easy and streamlined with a quick decision wheel. No complaints here at all.

    Something different: a couple have done the "free" game route, a couple have tried the class based route, and all want you to pay for cosmetics, but it doesn't make you feel like you need to pay for those cosmetics and make earning them feel achievable, much like R6:Siege. What this game does different is the 3v60 game mode. This style of BR is truly a wonderful sweet spot.

    I am sure they will add some sort of season pass and other game modes down the line, but with a start like this, it is no surprise that many are hopeful for this games "Expand-off-the-Basics" style and bubbly characters and game play.

    Most importantly, wins in this game actually feel meaningful and Apex legends just further proves, that you don't need to spend 60 dollars on a game for it to be good.

    It's one of the most fun, accessible Battle Royale. It adds something new and every encounter is very fun. It's more original than other BR's and the guns all feel distinctive and fun to use. I particularly like the classes - a nod to Overwatch which really mixes up the gameplay. It's free, therefore you MUST give it a try!

    Pros:

    As someone who likes Battle Royales, Apex Legends does not disappoint. The foundations of this game and gameplay are strong. Unlike the other Battle Royales out there, this is unique in the fact that it combines characteristics from Titanfall and Overwatch (Ultimates, special abilities, etc.) I can’t wait to see where this game thrives and how it keeps developing in the future.

    Cons:

    Apex Legends is pretty limited in cosmetics and loots. For example, many of the legendary skins are just a recolor of the original skin and lacks originality. Stats are also a bit screwed in this game.

    Heading into this game i kept my mind wide open, for the simple fact that im sick to my stomach of every other BR game out there. I needed something new, refreshing and last but not least; FINISHED.

    This game is a fresh breath of air in the BR scene. It includes an actually finished product, that is yours to play for the whopping amount of 0$. If you you are looking for somthing new to play, that runs well and has fast phased fluent gameplay; then this is your new game.

    They introduce something that i've been missing in the BR scene for a while: An option to revive your friends/squadmates after you get finished by that kill hungry player, that ends up loosing to the remaining temmates on your team, because he prioritized finishing you instead og cleaning up the fight. This function is super interesting and gives playing with strangers motivation to not instantly quit out the game when you get BM'd.

    There are some flaws with the game in the early launch phase, due to EA/respawn beeing the server provider. They simply do not have the capacity to handle the initial popularity this game has gotten. But im certain the server issues will be sorted out rapidly as more players are drawn to the game.

    This game is a "you either love it or hate it" kinda game. If you are struggling with adaptive fast phased gameplay, steer away from this game. But if you enjoy strategic agressive firsperson shooters, and getting those sweet sweet "victory royales" along with ur friends that you've either played with for years, or met druing your long sessions in this game. Then dont hesitate, pick this game up.

    I stopped liking PUBG after 500 hours because it'd be either a game that I survived for 3-4 minutes to get killed by someone or a game that would be 10 minutes of me looting, killing some people to then get killed by someone in a ridiculous fight.
    Fortnite would be fast-paced, landing and getting loot decent enough to kill some people, but it would always end up with a guy building a 5-star hotel with wifi killing you or your guns would hit ghost shots.
    Now Apex makes it interesting, the gunplay itself is already fantastic, giving you various guns that are mostly good (apart from the Mozambique) and that provide you with plenty of options to use. Weapons like the Wingman are potent shooters and perfect if you are good at aiming, it is perfect for you. If you are not good at aiming, pick up the G7, as it is a good DMR that shoots quickly and does just enough damage. If you are ok at aiming, pick up the Longbow as it does good damage and has a decent fire rate. That's only one example of how this game gives you many different options, the game also balances SMGs and ARs, by making them have high fire rates and low ammo.
    The game itself is very smooth, two of my friends have quite weak computers, yet they run it amazingly well, never having many problems, (and this is only after five days of launch). The one thing I also love is the pacing of this game, running, sliding, ziplining and flying all feel amazing, but the best part so far for me has been the fights themselves. You have multiple ways to fight with each character. I use Bangalore, and just her some grenades are already enough to make me have numerous ways to play a fight. Cover myself with them, so I get closer, distract them with it, throw it on them so they can't see, throw them behind me so I can run away, throw them onto my teammate to heal them, and that's just the start.

    In short, the game is a masterpiece battle royale wise; it takes everything that is good form many battle royale games and puts it one, it makes you able to have different styles of play, makes gunplay amazing, and is well paced. So in the end, I'm addicted to this.

After it launched, I watched gameplay and saw how much fun people were having with it, so decided to give it a shot.

    Initially, I wasn't thrilled with the relative lack of mobility as compared to Titanfall, but Respawn gave valid reasons why they didn't include it, and technically this isn't a Titanfall game, just set in the same universe. It took a bit, but I got used to the lack of wall running and double jumping and am okay with it now.

    The gameplay is relatively fast, after getting used to the interface and how the game plays (never played a BR game before) it's pretty well laid out and not overwhelming, with a lot of quality of life features that streamline the experience to allow me to concentrate on the gameplay. The Ping system is also great, even useful when you do have mics.

    This really does feel like a labor of love from Respawn, as EA was not actually involved in the development aside from funding the game. Respawn wanted to make this and the effort they put in shows, I just hope they can continue to provide updates and content enough to keep the game going strong. As I see it, this game will just help to get more people introduced into the Titanfall universe, which will help whatever future Titanfall game Respawn decides to make.

    This game is a blend of Overwatch, Titanfall, and Call Of Duty. If you like any of them this game is a must try.

    All of the lowest reviews for this game are not legitimate. You can't rate a game that you're unable to play, or one that you haven't played, or one that you've barely touched. A review should come after deliberate experimentation and trial.

    That being said, I've sunken over 30 hours into this game already in the past several days. I am also someone that has played Fortnite, PUBG, and Blackout to a good extent. I got entirely burned out of the BR genre and had expected that I would never want to play one again. However, I gave this a chance after hearing of other people's surprise by it's quality. After doing so, I learned for myself how incredible it really is. They took almost every good aspect of other BR games, removed the bad, and implemented heap-fulls of new mechanics that make you ask yourself why no one else has thought of putting them into the previous BR games.

    This game focuses on team-play. Many people don't like that they don't have single or two-player modes, but they intentionally didn't include them, it's not that they didn't add them out of laziness. They made the decision that in order to play the game as intended, you need a team of 3, no more, no less. Understanding that fact should make you focus on how to best use and support your team. And they've implemented many new mechanics and tools to help with that team focus, i.e. the new ping system.

    I give this game a solid 10 because of the obvious care that Respawn Entertainment put into this game. True, they have expensive micro-transactions, but because of that, the game is free. You also do not ever need to buy anything in the game. So far, everything that's been in the micro-transaction store has been available for free unlock through just normal playing of the game, even the other Legends (characters).

    This game was done right, and for that, they deserve a better User Score than 6.9 as it stands now. It's only that low because of all of the 0 ratings it's received by those who don't know the purpose of posting a "review" of a game.

    Considering the game is free-to-play (with only cosmetic microtransactions) and as a console player, this is by far my favorite battle royale game, and the only one that's managed to hold my attention for over 20 hours. I suspect this game might feel a lot different for PC players, and as time goes on the lack of content might shorten its lifespan. But as of the week of its launch, ApexConsidering the game is free-to-play (with only cosmetic microtransactions) and as a console player, this is by far my favorite battle royale game, and the only one that's managed to hold my attention for over 20 hours. I suspect this game might feel a lot different for PC players, and as time goes on the lack of content might shorten its lifespan. But as of the week of its launch, Apex Legends is a innovative and polished take on a genre that seemed to be running out of space.

    The thing I want to commend the most in this game is its communication system. Players can 'ping' items, weapons, gear, enemies, and locations in a style similar to spotting enemies in the Battlefield series. It's very easy and intuitive, which means that players are actually using it often. As a console player who most often plays with randoms, the boost to co-operation has been dramatic. By far Apex Legends greatest strengths lie in the ways it feeds information to the player and allows information to be shared between squad mates.

    The map design is at least on par with Fortnite or BLOPS4 Blackout, but I'd argue the map feels more dense due to verticality but also a fair amount of tunnels and shortcuts to explore and exploit. It is challenging to learn all the vantage points you are vulnerable to at any given point, but once familiarity sets in each area presents a satisfying geographical challenge. The map is definitely smaller than those two games, but is more interesting.

    Traversal is a big difference in this game, since it lacks Fortnite's springboards or Blackout's vehicles. And it might surprise some that not only are titans missing but even wallrunning from Respawn's Titanfall series. But in my view it lends the game a more grounded feel, aside from the occasional zip-line. So, yes, you mostly just run around the map in Apex Legends but it doesn't seem tedious as much as it is tense.

    The shooting is great even if it's not my personal favorite style. Respawn devs used to make Call of Duty, and they carry over a style of shooting that is hyper-accurate and almost recoil-less. I prefer Battlefield's sloppier shooting, where each gun feels a bit different. That being said, hitboxes here are solid and the weapon selection is more than adequate. Also, on-site upgrades help mix it all up a bit.

    So give this game a try! My first few hours I wasn't very convinced as it felt like any other BR game. But I found myself coming back and now I can see myself coming back to this regularly as long as more characters and weapons come to the game.

    I was pleasantly surprised by Apex Legends. I didn't expect much for a free game, but it is a clever combination of Borderlands/Borderlands 2, Overwatch, and Battlefield/Call of Duty.

    I really like the team dynamic and abilities. I also like the fact that micro-transactions are aimed at cosmetic changes versus game-changing weapons, abilities, etc. The characters seem well-balanced and are all fun to play with so far. It is an easy game to jump into and play for twenty or thirty minutes or several hours. I am a big fan of both Titanfall games and understand some of the criticism aimed at the omission of Titans and wall running, but I don't really miss them in this game. I would much rather play this than Fortnite or Call of Duty Black Ops 4.

    I can honestly say that that Apex Legends will probably strip some of my time away from Overwatch, and is definitely worth playing.

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..

Also the customization and gear is only cosmetic but it does have microtransaction and lootboxes however I think its a fair move considering again its f2p, the lootboxes have fair drop rates and all the
    microtransactions are cosmetics. Overall this game if a lot of fun especially with friends you can see the love Respawn has put into the gameplay and its a sad fact we're not getting TF3 but this makes up for it mostly and keeps my hope of seeing TF3 on day in the future. Personally I see a lot of potential in this game so I hope EA won't run this into the ground like their other games. But so far the game is a lot fun and might be the new BR game of 2019.

    The addition of a class system is really nice, anyone who has played overwatch or rainbow 6 will appreciate the idea of team composition and when picking characters and even with a small selection of legends this still comes into play.

    Little things like designating who gets to pick their characters when and the ability to take control of the entire teams drop location means there is a real push on team work.

    Further touches like being able to see the gear level of enemies before trying to look their bodies and possibility of legend revival are all welcome change ups.

    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.
