    I didn` play too much of this game,but i played enough to have a conclusion, the game is fun, the characters are very unique and fun to play in their own ways, if you always wanted a overwatch battle royale this game is definitvely for you, I never actually wanted that but well since they made it, I played it and well...It is fun, i am not going to lie but...

I don`t know, it just seems like something is missing, i get to lazy to figer out wichh guns do what and I think that they could launch the game with more characters and that the skins could be better.i also didn`t like the map, for me it was too dark for a battle royale game. I think that in the future i will play that, but for now, i will keep it dowloaded… Expand

    There's a good start here but Apex Legends suffers from limited team capabilities, a singular map to play at launch, questionable weapon and skill balancing, and limited options for skills/abilities. This won't unseat PUBG and Fortnite, not as-is anyways, but what it can do is challenge those BR titles as a free-to-play shooter that puts people into the popular first-person viewpoint andThere's a good start here but Apex Legends suffers from limited team capabilities, a singular map to play at launch, questionable weapon and skill balancing, and limited options for skills/abilities. This won't unseat PUBG and Fortnite, not as-is anyways, but what it can do is challenge those BR titles as a free-to-play shooter that puts people into the popular first-person viewpoint and uses the Titanfall control setup and universe to offer a fast paced experience. I kind of like it but I hate playing by myself. The solo experience in this game is simply unacceptable and impossible to win. 3-person teams also feel insanely small and prevent you from playing with more of your friends should you run into a game with a premade group. Lastly, the 60-player cap feels a bit on the light side as it's possible to not see anyone until you're one of the last 10 players alive, which is really odd given how not big the map is. Apex Legends needs work.… Expand

    Apex Legends delivers in some aspects but its flaws are noticeable. Characters feel out of place and with no back story in the game, this is detail is amplified. Gameplay however is certainly enjoyable and exciting. The game is also built for microtranscations and progression is hampered by this fact. Apex Legends borrows elements from other battle royale games or outright cut and pastes.Apex Legends delivers in some aspects but its flaws are noticeable.

    Como a gameplay é do Titanfall 2, é muito difícil que seja ruim. Mas eu particularmente não aguento mais Battleroyale.

    Combines the team and class nature of Overwatch, the gunplay of COD and PUBG, and the skins/emotes/loot from Fortnite. Absolutely no pay-to-win, as all of the rewards are cosmetic. The guns feel superb, maybe a bit more arcadey than COD (the guns are pretty tight and remind me more of Halo).

    Great features: jumping together as a team so the loner doesn't ruin your time. Pinging the map from the game (not the map screen) is an amazing feature than every game now needs. The mods auto-equipping if they are better than what you have and if you have the spot open on your weapon is just such a great feature. And when you switch weapons, it will auto-switch the mods.

    Bad features: honestly almost none. Maybe the reload time is a bit too long? (but that just encourages you to pursue extended clips and rewards those who do) And yeah, the elephant in the room is that EA owns Respawn, but they seem to have their hands out of this one unlike Anthem, which already appears to be a full-priced game with microtransactions. This game does the MTs just like Fortnite, which is totally ok in my book. You can play the game perfectly well with them and enjoy them if you get them.    … Expand

    Apex legends is fun and interesting take on battle royale. It combined the classic BR formula with Overwatch. I like how there is a unique roster of characters with different playstyles and abilities. In my opinion, it is better than the tragic dumpster fire of a game 'Fortnite'...

    However, it does get boring/stale after playing multiple games back to back, especially in solo queue; the game is much better with friends. Some guns can be underwhelming COUGH COUGH the Mozambique COUGH COUGH and the matchmaking can also glitch out and put you in a game with only two people in your squad, sometimes even one.
    By the way, people complain about how there is no solo or duos. While duos could be nice to have, solos are out of the question. It's a team based game. What use would Lifeline's passive have? Also, some characters would be overpowered. Playing lifeline in solos is like playing Lucio in an Overwatch deathmatch.
    Overall, it is a good game to play with friends, though it definitely does have its flaws.    … Expand

    From the creators of the amazing Titanfall 2 game, this game was...a bit underwhelming. I wish this game had wall-running, which it does not, but I guess it makes sense since we're not Titanfall pilots.

What I don't like, which many games does this, which disincentivizes me from playing, but the limited time items locked behind the season pass. I don't like season passes with items that cannot be gotten after a time frame. This game has that. I will say I am happy with the cross-play, but that does not help in increasing the score. This deserves a hard seven in my opinion, because of the mechanics that I wish it had, and the limited time rewards, it gets a seven.… Expand

    I'm not a fan of battle royales but this game is pretty good. The shooting in this game is smooth and the movement in first person makes the game so much more fun and better for fighting and moving. The sound of this game is pretty good and it is pretty easy to figure out where the gunshots are coming from and i can fight back and the game is fair.

The only criticisms of this game that i have are that the controls can be confusing at times and also i would play the game more often if i there was a mode where it could be every man for himself instead of group vs group.… Expand

    It's really bloody good... Take note, other developers wanting to jump on a trend: this is how you do battle royale. [Issue#225, p.82]

    Apex Legends is without a doubt a fantastic game. It may be lacking a solo or duo option, and it may have a few very niggling issues, but all-in-all it’s a fantastic addition to the Battle Royale genre.

    Taken as a finished product, Apex Legends feels like the Battle Royale craze growing up. The possibility of new modes and options to be added is an enticing prospect, but what is here is well worth the asking price. That asking price, of course, is free – and Respawn should be commended for its risky approach to a rapidly oversaturated market. Apex Legends is an excellent shooter, and an excellent Battle Royale title.
