Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (7) Average.
    The game’s features may work, but are nothing that even casual players haven’t seen before. A decent game from beginning to end.

    They combined Battle-Royal with a Hero-Shooter. Solely a multiplayer game and is pretty fun. Don't have much to add besides that.    … Expand

    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.

    The positives
    + the balance is probably at it's best place right now, no op legends , no **** legends. Mirage is still decent despite what people say, you guys are just trash. The guns are also very balanced.
    + the good maps: world's edge, olympus and king's canyon in pub
    + the gameplay stands out the most in apex, it's the smoothest fps gameplay on the market right now.
    + the matchmaking is not that bad like last seasons but im not an expert so don't take my word for it.
    + I like also how every map has a different way to get high tier loot.
    + graphics aren't amazing , but for a free to play game they are still solid enough.
    negatives
    - Even though the battle pass isn't terrible , i am still waiting for a decent one to buy for a couple season's long lmao.
    - storm point just feel like a drag. It's to big and when you get in a fight it's always with multiple squads. King's canyon is aight in pub's but in ranked it's a bit to much. Not bad but by far the hardest map to get a win.
    - connection issues still exist
    neutral point:
    - bring some small pve event back i liked those
    - add some new features or a new grenade or something. We just need something to spice it up after 3 years. Control is decent but doesn't feel new.
    Conclusion:
    Apex legends is the best free fps and maby even the best battle royale out there. Smooth gameplay, nicely balanced etc... The only thing the game needs is something fresh and finetuning of stormpoint.
    I give apex legends a 9 out of 10 , when stormpoint is back in ranked it will be back an 8 though lmaoooo    … Expand

    Good but not yet great. Would be nice to have a solo mode a least. Currently you can only play with squads of 3 people. Unfortunately, too many times, other players (even using discord), don't listen much to the rest of the team and you end up dying simply because you are alone against another team.

    Apex Legends is an enjoyable battle royale that can be played on almost any system.

    The best shooter on the market currently. The gunplay is a bit too fast, and the grind is kinda silly to get new characters.

    Ultimately, it doesn't do anything great, it is merely good. But I'd rather play this to scratch my shooter itch over COD or Battlefield.

The gunplay audio is also very screechy it hurts my ears even if I'm using Sony Gold Wireless Headset. Gunshots and bullets hitting armors sound like someone is having tantrums while banging a frying pan. The matchmaking is horrible too. It takes 2 hours to find a single battle royal match. Since 2016 I have deleted and reinstalled this game 3 times to my PS4 to see if it has improved but voila it's still **** Deleted it again. I also hate the fact that this does not let you play solo.

    I've never been fan of this genre; I've only played Fortnite for half an hour and I got bored. I've heard very positive things about Apex Legends though and I decided to give it a try.
    In my opinion, Apex Legends isn't just a significantly better game than Fortnite, but it's genuinely a really good game overall. I am quite decent at this game and it is a lot of fun!

    The gameplay is amazing despite not being anything special, and it feels very smooth.
    The characters are different from each other, some characters can act as support and tank while others are offensive.
    The graphics are good and the audio is great.
    Also, game focuses a lot on teamplay with some unique mechanics and items for communication; you can even revive your teammates when they die. Teamplay can get a bit frustrating at times, but it's fantastic when it works.
    What about the flaws? Well, first of all, there isn't enough content, and secondly, the monetization is a little bit messed up; there are few microtransactions but quite too expensive.

    Pros:
    + Fun and smooth gameplay
    + Diverse characters
    + Focuses a lot on teamplay
    + Nice visuals

    Cons:
    - Not enough content
    - Monetization

    Content: ?/10
    Graphics/Audio: 8/10

    Final Rating: 8/10

    Pros:
    Fluid movement

    Cons:
    Trash servers
    Several bugs
    Braindead meta
    No competitive integrity
    **** ranked system
    Boring public matches
    Arenas is pointless to play
    Developers don't care
    Massive lack of content

    Best Battle Royale game. The only one that feels different. Has the best gunplay and movement in FPS games right now. Has the best innovations like the creative ping system, the first BR with the respawn concept, ziplines, vaults, etc. Lastly, it is currently the only BR with multiple maps.

    Sadly that is it. The server management is horrible. 60 ping in 1 game then 200 ping for the    Best Battle Royale game. The only one that feels different. Has the best gunplay and movement in FPS games right now.

    Sadly that is it. The server management is horrible. 60 ping in 1 game then 200 ping for the next. Its gameplay (especially in Ass Canyon and Openlympus) is either:

    1. Find nobody until 10 squads left then after you find and fight 1, the 3rd 4th 5th 69th party comes for your necks
    2. You drop hot and die early game (if you survive the hot drop it would be the same as 1, that is the peak experience for the game)

    I am so tired of the game right now that I moved to a game that prioritizes winning over getting high kills (Valorant). The game is too casual right now (its just for the kills) unlike Valorant which is probably the FPS game with the highest competitive integrity right now. I am new to the game right now and there is no agent that you can play properly without some mastery unlike in Apex a lot of legends (Octane (especially with Revenant), Bloodhound, Seer, Caustic, and Gibraltar just to name a few) are too noob friendly and also the guns (L-Star, Rampage, Charge Rifle, Devotion (especially with Turbocharger) and R301 just to name a few also). Also, there are some annoying braindead legend combinations like the infamous RevTane (its nerfed now but still braindead)

    I also don't like the ranked system. There should be no "freebie rank" in any competitive game but in Apex the real ranked experience starts at Platinum. The consequence at losing in Bronze, Silver, and Gold is just not punishing. You can troll 5 straight games hotdrop and die first then on your 6th game you win the game and every "punishment" you had gets erased. On mid elo and high elo a lot of players just hide for RP until they can get an actual good game - making the system "grind over skill". A player who rats a lot and has horrendous aim and gamesense could get to Plat while a player who has decent aim and decent gamesense could be hardstuck gold because they take fights a lot and get 3rd partied a lot in the process. The ranked system doesn't promote playing smartly. You either rat, grief others while giving up your positioning, or be the one griefed.

    Lastly, the lack of content. Dry af. At this pace, the game is gonna die.

    This game was my favorite FPS at one point but it just stinks right now. I no longer grind it. There is just no reason to. I just play it casually and occasionally. Oh about Arenas. I forgot about it just like the majority of the playerbase.

    TL;DR = Probably has the worst servers in any multiplayer game right now. Ranked system is ass. Meta is braindead. Olympus and Kings Canyon are bad maps. Worlds Edge is good for ranked but also ass for pubs. Storm Point is boring af. Best BR? Yes. By far. Best FPS? No. By far    … 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.
