    A pretty decent and exciting take on the Battle Royale formula! Apex Legends basically takes all the cliches of previous battle royales and hero shooters and just shrunk it down drastically.

And there are plenty of other exciting little add ons and twists previous games haven't tried before. Sometimes great games do come in small packages! Let's hope there's more for this new game for the future!… Expand

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

But even though I really like the game, there is still some to improve. The skins are not really special, I hope there will come more unique skins (like Fortnite does) in the future. The other thing is that I hope that they will bring new things to the game frequently so it will keep the audience interested. But the core of the game really feels promising.

With enough support, which I fully except given Respawn's excellent track record, this at the moment somewhat content limited game could be fleshed out into a real competitor in the genre.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    Very high quality shooting mechanics, which is not surprising

    People jumping on to bash a game that they haven't even tried or barely tried and bashed because it's not Titanfall 3.

    Probably the best Battle-royale to-date, it does everything so perfectly you immediately realize, that this game is what you REALLY wanted from Battle-royale genre. It is almost flawless despite being an EA project.

    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.

    Overall this game has potential and its already pretty polished. Look forward to seeing how this plays out.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.
