    This is easily the most fun shooter I’ve played in a while. Made by the company that consists of developers from Modern Warfare 2, the game looks and feels great.

I’m giving it a 10 on here as I feel like a lot of the 0 ratings are unfair and are based solely off of the game being a battle royal game or the inclusion of LGBT characters. Apparently those 2 things really irritate people.

    The game moves much faster than fortnite and is much easier to pick up and play as there isn’t a building element involved. I do have some complaints. I feel like some weapons are underpowered while others are pretty much useless (pistols mostly). Shotgun spread and damage is confusing at times. Also the lack of a solo mode as well as a 4 person mode.    … Expand

    Wow, what a surprise, Apex Legends is the most complete multiplayer game ever to be released. Before Apex, I tried every BR and I couldn't quite get into them, I guess it just wasn't my thing.

The UI, pinging system, and communication with other players is absolutely perfect. Characters have their own unique special abilities that make each one of them a blast to play. You aren't overwhelmed by what your character can do since there are typically only 3 different abilities they can use. The map is a blast and the shooting is just like titanfall. I love that they didn't implement wall running or double jumping. The casual gamer will appreciate this.
    I could go on and on about how much I love this game.

    APEX is the near-perfect combination of Titanfall and the BR genre. The movement is fluid and fun, the characters seem interesting, and it's not riddled with the crappy weapons levels like NORMAL or RARE. As far as weapons are concerned they are all usable, there isn't that big gap other BR games have where some idiot finds a dynamite arrow (RDR2) or golden weapons (Fortnite) and you feelAPEX is the near-perfect combination of Titanfall and the BR genre.

    I was a little wary of playing, yet another BR game, BUT Apex Legends has been a lot of fun! It's a bit of a unique tweak to the BR genre. Instead of just different skins, the different characters have different abilities. I enjoyed this a lot. It took some time getting used to the different things each character can do, but I feel the more I play the game the better I'll get (obviously).I was a little wary of playing, yet another BR game, BUT Apex Legends has been a lot of fun!

    The guns all feel different and distinct. I can feel a difference between guns in the same class too. Nothing currently feels like OP, but I've only spent a few hours playing so far.
    There's a pretty big emphasis on teamwork too. Having a random order on who gets to pick their character first, dedicating a person to decide when to drop, and even having the ability to revive a character after they've been completely killed and taken out. Using pings and voice commands in game really make it easier to play with people without mics.
    Overall, I really enjoy this game. it feels different, yet familiar. It's clearly not Titanfall (i.e. no titans, or wall running), but it's a lot of fun. (Sidenote: you can run up walls by holding the jump button down) I can't wait to see what new and improved legends get released. Lastly, the game is FREE, so do yourself a favor and have fun!    … Expand

I was really tired of the whole battle royal genre but a few of my friends kept telling me to give this game a try.

    I'm glad I did.

    For starters some of the game mechanics are phenomenal. The game has a "ping" system where you are able to point out objects, locations and enemies with ease. This allows to play whole rounds without using a mic. Another great mechanic is the games revive system. If you were to get downed by an enemy, your teammate has the chance to revive you (like every battle royal) but If you were to get killed, your teammate can grab your tag and bring it to a revive station. BAM, you're back in the game. This adds a unique spin and I love it.

    One this that should be said is that right now you can only play as a 3 person team. I've played a good amount of games with a full squad and as solo w/ randoms. So far I've won 2 games with the squad and 1 game with just one random. Regardless, each match was fun, entertaining, and exciting. I know that they will be adding more game match options but even as it it now, its fun!

    I've player majority of the battle royal games out today and this is how I would put them into order (top being better):

    Apex Legends
    PUBG
    Fortnite
    Black Ops: Blackout
    Ark: Survival of the Fittest
    H1Z1
    Realm Royale
    The Culling

    I am excited to see where this game goes!

    Teamwork - I was a bit disappointed to learn that there wasn't a solo mode. But the use of pings and generic team orders makes it quite easy to work as a team without actually talking to the random strangers you are now in a fight for survival with! the fact that you can either leave the jump to the team leader (randomly assigned) and go down as a group or launch yourself on your own also helps.

    Customisation - including the use of loot boxes and pay to win etc. Again really surprised, there is a small character roster, but they each weapon etc has a huge amount of skins you either pay for with the use of loot boxes or grind to unlock.

    All in all, i thought the gameplay was slick and fun and the different abilities each character has makes it fun to try a different one each time you play! Also, the fact that you take it in turns in your group to choose a character means you can work together quite efficiently!

    A solid BR game in my opinion.    … Expand

It has its fair share of issues and problems, for example; gun balancing needs to be tweaked, certain weapons are pointless whilst others are too powerful to leave behind. Some people have criticised the game for having only one map however this isn't a large issue as the CEO of Respawn has already said that new maps, weapons legends and content will release regularly and how often will depend on the popularity and playerbase. it is true that the game could use some more characters with more interesting abilities however they cant be too powerful without making the character OP. Hitboxes are also a problem as characters like gibraltar have such a large hitboxes that playing them rather than wraith or lifeline puts players at an immediate disadvantage, however it does allow for a more diverse looking cast
    The micro transactions in the game are minimal, much like overwatch they're only for cosmetics in game, not giving anyone an unfair advantage. The gameplay is a perfect mix between the fast placed gameplay of fortnite but with the more realistic, gritty gunplay of PUBG. For anyone that put a few hours into titanfall or its sequal, the gameplay will feel familiar except of course for the pilots jump pack. The biggest stand out differance in this game seems to be the respawn points (that fornite quickly pinched) that makes the game feel less like a BR as you can bring less fortunate players back from the dead to re-loot, or die again blocking bullets for you.

    overall, i think titanfall is one of the best FPS games that have been released recently. Respawn have made great games before with the titanfall series that have gone unnoticed by many however Apex has received the attention it deserves. For anyone that isn't tired of the battle royale genre this game is a must play, and anyone that hasn't should still give it a try, and maybe their love for the genre will reappear.    … Expand

    Apex brought a different play style to the battleground format, involving unique hero abilities that gave a new fresh look to the at this time worn out genre. This game excels at shooting mechanics, and overall movement mechanics including sliding. This battlegrounds format makes for a fast game than can be finished in 15-20 minutes, which is different from the longer PUBG games.

    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.
