    Posso dire di essere stato un accanito giocatore di Apex, ma purtroppo la sensazione di noia e staticità che avevo iniziato ad avvertire da qualche tempo ha preso il sopravvento e ora non riesco più nemmeno ad aprire il video game, non che questo sia brutto o oggettivamente noiosa che io reputo giochi come Apex noiosi a lungo andare.

    La verdad, van pasando 11 temporadas y este juego es lo mismo, eliges a una leyenda, buscas donde caer, te mata un equipo pred mientras que tu equipo son solo jugadores de Free Fire y al looby y repetir. a sido lo mismo desde hace 2 años, debe haber algo nuevo ya para este juego

    The ping system is by far the    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.    … Expand

    It was a great game when it first came out but the hackers have hit it hard with the aim bots and infinite health. Prior to hackers, this was a 9. Since the hackers and the absolutely abysmal "battle pass" which you pay $10 for and it's "big" prize for finishing is..... a gun skin for the havoc..... awful. Save your money, don't buy the battle pass.... it's a freakin money grab for crap offerings.

Not only that but the body shields don't offer too much damage resistance to certain weapons. Really the only thing good about this game is playing with your friends for laughs and memes.… Expand

But with far too many mistakes.

    Gameplay: Some things about gameplay are the only good thing about Apex Legends. Of course I don't find everything good here, but a little. Apex Legends tries to take the typical mechanics from popular Battle Royale games like Fortnite or CoD Blackout and eliminate their bugs. In some places this works really well. For example, the gameplay is much smoother than in Blackout. You can slide what feels really good. Using the weapons is ok. Nothing special. The respawn system is also well thought out.

    Others: The other things are actually what makes the game bad. For example, there is no solo, duo or team mode for ages after release. Just trio. And that just sucks. Furthermore, the game is almost not fed with updates at all. It still feels like the same gameplay to the release. Besides, nobody has to complain about overpriced skins in Fortnite. In Apex Legends the weapon skins or legends skins are much more expensive in comparison. You only buy one skin for one of many heroes for almost the same price as in Fortnite. And that's overpriced!

    Conclusion: Apex Legends is free, so theoretically everyone CAN play it. However, I cannot recommend this. I played Apex Legends for about 5h and I really didn't have any fun. The only thing I like to remember is the very smooth gameplay. No recommendation, play other Battle Royale games!    … Expand

Riddled with developer mismanagement and lack of planning the game is now stale, boring, repetitive and downright unplayable at times. A Lack of updates, updates that cause more damage then is fixed and lack of content are all that come to mind when thinking of how the overall experience with Apex these past few months. Forcing players into playing with a squad seemed to be the plan from the start which is mind boggling that it even got past the planning stage as they have done absolutely nothing with regards to any other game modes. Poor communication with player base typical of EA games. Not that there aren't any good things with the game as that it not the case at all. The Ping system is groundbreaking and should be mirrored by all developers from now on. Couple that with amazing fast paced and crisp shooting experience and this review could turn into an 8 to 9 with a dropping of a serious content bomb of modes and map types but if these first months are a sign of things to come than we are looking at 2 to 3 years of further development to get the game to a state further then what can only be called the Demo game we currently have.… Expand

    Il peggio del peggio possibile. Questo apex è la peggior formula battle royale per i miei gusti. Noioso e con un pessima fase shooting, è risultata per me la peggior esperienza FPS degli ultimi anni. Aggiungo che la mappa è piccola e incolore e le meccaniche base del titolo sono terribili. Sconsigliato.

I made it to diamond during the first ranked season. I love the variety and skill set of legends, the lore, I love king's canyon and the recent Grand Soirée event. Season 4 hit, however, and just about everything went downhill:

    1. You can no longer solo queue without playing death simulator. If you choose to (and notably, your overall skill is above average), you'll find yourself in lobbies filled to the brim with three stacks/premades. There is just no way you, your random teammates xX420Gamer420Xx and SmolBoi1 can take on a three stack diamond/predator squad who are in a private chat over discord, treating a public match like scrims. Why solo players continue to face three stack/premades in Apex is beyond me. This is the biggest issue for me, because I have effectively quit playing because of this one attribute. Very disappointed that this gets ignored.

    2. SBMM isn't working. 1-5 seconds of so-called "matchmaking" is like throwing a pile of laundry at the floor and hoping they sort themselves into nicely folded piles. It has a higher chance of working for socks or undergarments, but it will never work for a dress shirt, for example. Higher players are all lumped together into lobbies (regardless of the skill gap between pros and above avg. players) because, again, 1-5 sec matchmaking doesn't create balanced lobbies at high skill levels.

    3. Bugs everywhere. The infamous "dashboarding" exploit (quitting ranked in a way that avoids RP loss) was in this game for 2 ranked series (7 months). Season 3 comes around, and they "soft fix" this issue, however, there's an entirely new bug that confuses one of your previous season's final rank with your current rank, creating two separate ranks for some players. At the most extreme, this hiccup places higher players in lower ranked lobbies, undermining ranked as a competitive mode. Let's see-- there's an invisibility bug where bangalore is invisible from the shoulders down from 20 yards away. Muzzle flash continues to blind players indoors while using iron sights (typically with an R99 or L-star). There is constant crashing on some PCs. There is no loss forgiveness if you quit a game early when you were not given teammates at the start. Footsteps cease to exist if too many sounds are present around you, meaning you could be healing and an enemy will drop 3 ft. behind you and you won't hear them. Pathfinder can zipline or run right next to you and you won't hear them. This leads to more frustrating randomness, will you hear an enemy this game or not?

    4. The worst servers I've seen in a game. 20-tick servers, constant lag = RNG as to who gets a hit reg and who doesn't. Every so often you get into a slow-mo servers, doubling each in-game second.

    5. Unbalanced weapons/legends. Peacekeeper regularly hits for 99 damage with a single shot, downing players with top armor in less than a second. G7 scout + light ammo (it was conveniently removed from the new sniper category this season) = players can spam shots at up to 20 bullets a clip, and all it takes is 3-4 headshots to down you (who in their right mind would choose a different rifle?). We've gone 2 seasons (7 months) without any changes to more than half of the legends, meanwhile Gibralter gets around 5 passives and continues to get inexplicably buffed. Pathfinder, Wraith, Wattson continue to be top contenders in games. Side note: if you make all of your changes based on the entire playerbase's data and never look at the competitive scene or above average lobbies, then you will get skewed ideas of what to buff/nerf each patch (not that there are any!).

    6. Communication and the iron crown fiasco. Some devs wouldn't hold their tongue and stooped down to the level of some (probably 13 year old) users on reddit, resulting in a public apology by Respawn's CEO. This just fanned the flames in my view. You can't have any dialogue on any of these social media platforms anymore. Do I blame the devs and not the ones who kept insulting them? Of course not. But some professionalism, etiquette, maturity goes a long way. Instead of engaging those who are most "toxic," engage those who are most willing to understand and are able to change their own views. Now, anyone who so much as errs on the side of (constructive) criticism is told to uninstall and play something else. This only hurts the game in the long run, because those of us who actually want the best are told to leave.

    tl;dr Season 0-2 - 9/10, all around fun and exciting ranked and pub games. Wide range of players to engage with, great communication from the devs.

    Season 4 - 3/10, can't even solo queue anymore due to being placed against three stacks almost every game. Rarely play more than 5 games before signing off and hoping we hear more from the devs.    … Expand

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.    … 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.
