    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. When playing solo with random people it can be frustrating but the new ping system helps. 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.
