Apex Legends

Around Christmas time, I wrote an opinion piece about how the Battle Royale genres popularity would plummet if it didn't see some innovation this year. Well, prayers have been answered. Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends is here. While on the surface...

Respawn Entertainment knows how to make a first-person shooter feel good. The studio's pedigree, from its founders, work on Call of Duty and particularly the first Modern Warfare, all the way to Titanfall and it's fantastic successor Titanfall 2, places...

Apex Legends makes squad-based battle royale work better than thought possible, even when playing with a randomly matched team. Its intuitive communication system makes strategic teamplay achievable without a word, and the eight unique legends each have cool abilities that are rewarding without feeling like restrictive roles. It all takes place in Kings Canyon, which is a fascinating sci-fi map that leads to tense encounters filled with all of the pristine gunplay and polish from the Titanfall series, and its free-to-play setup doesn’t pressure you to pay to keep up. Apex Legends has the goods to be a true challenger to Fortnite’s dominance.

While it certainly helps to talk to your teammates with a mic, Apex Legends has an intuitive contextual ping system that's better than every other battle royales. With the tap of a button you can call out points of interest, whether that be supplies,...

While the battle royale genre is synonymous with PUBG and Fortnite, FIFA and Battlefield creator EA hopes to make dent in the space with Apex Legends. Developed by Respawn Entertainment whose previous credits include the excellent Titanfall series, Apex...

Apex Legends is a quiet revolution in how we communicate in games, and an excellent team-based battle royale I can recommend to anyone,...

Apex Legends is not Titanfall, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a special game packed with potential for greatness. I’ve put a lot of hours into Respawn’s latest, and haven’t had the desire to stop yet. The combination of character-driven powers, streamlined team features, and fantastic gunplay have elevated this unexpected spin-off into my go-to battle royale, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

Apex Legends boasts fast-paced action, a good selection of weapons, and places an emphasis on teamwork. It might not convert the PUBG faithful or Fortnite fans, but there's no denying that Apex is very special indeed.

Call down aerial bombardments, charge your shields, and find your nearest zipline because Respawns newly released free-to-play Apex Legends is here! After a flooding of battle-royale's from everybody and their second cousin, Apex Legends delivers a fresh take on the dying genre. Imagine Overwatch and Fortnite combined (with a few other titles mixed in) and you almost have what Apex Legends delivers.

While it probably won’t topple the battle royale juggernauts, it’s a fun time to dive into if you’re tired of Fortnite and PUBG. The issues that the game has with its lack of map variety and game modes hold it back from being a truly competitive force in the genre. But there’s enough quality content here for players to dig into if they feel so inclined. If you’re just looking for solid fun and some cool toys to play around with, then Apex Legends will give you what you want.

Apex Legends is fun and gives plenty of tools to those who want to work as a team. It forces people to be somewhat useful to their teammates. However, be prepared to deal with overly tanky opponents because most guns require you to hit numerous shots to finish the kill. The movement and ability to escape has two sides that make combat either very annoying or thrilling. If this game cost more than $10, I would have given it a much lower rating, but as it stands, Apex Legends is worth your time.

Respawn has successfully entered the battle royale genre with Apex Legends, allowing itself to take notes from its predecessors and come in and build upon the foundation laid before them. By refining the formula rather than making a significant effort...

If Apex Legends has one thing going for it, it's the feeling that the game is complete --something not all battle royale games can boast. The explosion of popularity in the genre means there are a lot of games that do last-player-standing competition...

An immaculate battle royale that could be sold at a premium price point, but instead is one of the best free-to-play games...
