    Garbage game made by a garbage company. Terrible servers, weapon balancing, etc. Gameplay is boring, repetitive, and stale, and only obtains a player base due to the fact that it's a trendy, free, battle royale.

    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.

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

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.

The movement is fluid and fun, the characters seem interesting, and it's not riddled with the crappy weapons levels like NORMAL or RARE.

    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'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!

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.

    Respawn had a chance to do something very unique for their take on the BR genre, but instead they opted to do some half-baked Fortnite/Overwatch crossover.

    People into the BR genre will probably like it (which is why I have rated it 4 rather than 0), but I can't help but feel that Respawn is trading in their small, but dedicated fanbase in for a younger, larger, and fickle fanbase - consisting of middle schoolers and Twitch Streamers.

    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.
