This games gameplay itself if some of the best I've have any played in a first person shooter. The movement is smooth and untouchable and the gunplay is a pleasant surprise. However, this game suffers from it being not consistently updated, having overpriced micro transactions, and just down right awful servers. You can be in the the middle of a match having the best game of your life and then poof suddenly the game kicks you with something along the lines of code net and won't even let you back into your game. This is very frustrating and wish the devs would pay a bit more attention to it. Still, it doesn't complete ruin the experience since it happens once in a while. This game is already great, but it definitely has not met its potential.

Way better than fortnite...

Apex Legends is probably the best free to play battle royale game there is. It is not extremely violent and great for teens to play aswell. The game has a number of characters and weapons to choose from and each has their own special ability to bring to the table aswell. Definately check this one out!
Nice game, respawn!

Apex is a little bit violent, cause there are the finishers.
I am 11 years old, and thats my first FPS* game.
I dont like Fortnite now, they modified everything.
In season 4, everything was nice but... its boring now.
Apex is more difficult,hrd tom play.

Good battle royale

Apex legends have definitely his place with the other greats battle royale. It has his own mechanics and characters. But i clearly dont like the way that we need so much time for see some news characters, maps and bugs correction. Can be annoying some times and boring.
It's quite addictive and more fun than Fortnite...

Even though i never played PUBG as it was only on xbox and pc before it headed to ps4 in a pricey version as well as a free version on android (and soon ios), it was fortnite that drew me into the battle royale genre. It was addictive for awhile then i got tired and played mostly story games like spiderman, god of war 4, and red dead redemption 2. Once i beat them all, i decided to play Apex Legends, which came out of nowwhere to become EA's most downloaded free game of all time. Created by Respawn, who owns TItanfall and bases this game on the universe, Apex Legends puts players into groups of 3 trying to kill other people while the area is shrinking. Last man standing wins. Every game you play gets your leveled up. Sure, like other games, it can crash, but i had no issues playing, which begins with a tutorial before letting you play on your own or with friends. Controls are good , the graphics are great, and the soundtrack is well done and has more music and voices than Fortnite. GIve this game a shot and enjoy the fun!!!

The game is becoming trash
austinlove-5755614 September 2023
This game used to awsome but the match making is now horrible and its being completely ignored by the devs and leadership. Im a casual player who likes to play to unwind but instead of being able to relax, it seems like every other game is just filled with the most hardcore players in the game. The ranked system is completely useless because now they have a hidden ranked system that puts you in games the ai thinks you belong in. So say you do really good one game it boosts you way up in ranks and in the next game it puts you against ppl in a completely different league than you. Iv played since launch and i enjoy the variety the game has to offer but whoever is calling the shots for it now are missing every one of them.
Best BR

The game is a unique take on the Battle royal genre. I love the diffrent abilities and personality each legends have and i love that the game focuses on teamwork. Thats what makes it stand out. The lore is AMAZING and one of the reasons that sets the game apart from the other BR games.
Titanfall has the best movement ive seen in an fps game and Respawn brought some of that movent over to Apex!!!
Pros: insane MOVEMENT , MOVEMENT and MOVEMENT. Very fun lore that u even get to experience in game. Free to play. Amazing gun fights.
Cons: some bugs but at least they try to fix them as quickly as possible.
If u like BR games u should 1000000000% try Apex Legends, u should try it even if u dont like BR games!

The Best, Albeit Flawed, Battle Royal

This was at one stage my most played game, with over 800 hours racked to date. It's addictive, it's fun and has, in my opinion, the best combat/gun play of any game currently in existence.
However... Respawn... for some reason do not seem to care about the players. They charge extortionate amounts of money for skins, which being a 1st person shooter you can't even see anyway. On top of that, the updates are few and far between. Character and gun tweaks happen at the start and end of a season and the map changes, when they do occur are minimal.
I fear that apex one day will die with a fizzle, rather than the bang it deserves, potentially with a sequel or spin off maybe? But the developers clear lack of care for their community (whom they actively will not speak to) and focus on money will unfortunately be my favourite shooters downfall

Brilliant but deeply flawed.

You can barely ever play it under normal conditions, low FPS rate, the worst servers in any game this mainstream. So how can I rate the Apex legends that the pros play and streamers promote, that's not the same game you will be sold? And this game may be free, but you can easily spend money on it, should you get addicted to the packs like so many do. A game is more than just a game these days, it is also an experience, and the Apex experience is one of the most frustrating and toxic out there, the game is amazing, but there is no single player. It's like Borderlands without the amazing playable story. They created an Apex story that most people don't even really care about, but it doesn't really influence the game, they just seem to make up the story to pave the way for new content.
An example of how creativity is destroyed by the hands of capitalism.

Apex Legends Review

Pros:
Cons:
Verdict: In comparison with other battle royales of Fortnite and COD Blackout, this IMO is probably the best one. Free so great to try out.
8/10.
- Good gunplay
- Large maps with varied elevation / some regional variation too
- All classes are equal in ability, no OP ones
- Ping system is amazingly helpful
Cons:
- Nice to have more characters and maps
- Limited game modes

frankwest-3690823 November 2019
I have been playing fortnite since it came out but after a while I got board of it and one day I looked in the PlayStation store and found this game and I'm still not board of and it's the best multiplayer game ever
this is the least board I've been all day (octane) 2019
I love the game but....
wisdomisfree3 June 2023
Listen I'm addicted to Apex and I don't consider myself a gamer I just play after work but the Matchmaking it's horrible!!!! I end up playing with diamond ranks for example in Control or Gun Run. It loses the fun I can't compete I know i know i do suck playing but there's statistics for a reason so the game can put you with people on the same skill set. And I don't want to talk about cheaters cause I'm really dumb to identify one cause pretty much I would not see any difference between a cheater or a diamond rank player.
Besides that it's really good, the aesthetics, the design, the movement ect.

THE Best Game

Imo it is the best battle royale game however pubg and blackout is so close that it feels wrong to say Apex is the best. If we go by definition then Apex is the number 1 lol. I mean Fortnite and Player Unknown's Battle Grounds are terrible video game names let's be honest. Anyway the biggest problem with Apex is the micro system. Most people will spend a handful of money at least once, even then it is pointless to aim for something you want. I played since launch and the first 6 months after opening over 100 hard earned packs I had no legendary for my main at the time. I rarely got crafting medals in the packs. If I did get crafting medals it was only like 15 or something. (1200) for skin. I did however get like 5 mozambique legendary skins. I then got so fed up that I spent real money for about 50 packs total. All I got was dirty toilet paper. Time went by and eventually I quit Apex. I got my kunai at 498 apex packs!!!!! One heirloom 3 years of sweating the game. Came back to the game last week after leaving the game in season 13 and while it has improved a lot it is still a garbage system. Oh and the devs took like 5 years to get cross progression did they not?
Ia killed their own game

Is there problems ? Yes naturally
Zergjerk24 February 2019
I had loads of game crashes and freezes. All of em stopped when i turned v-sync totally off.
Gun play is not the best there is but it's good. I have emptied a clip of light ammo to player whom then turns and shoots me with 3 shot, but i had no armor and he had tier 3 body armor. (how i know this ? team mate killed him after that and revived me so was able to look at his gear)
A new title so there will be lot of tweaking still. So far i like roughly 60h played.
Legends (classes) are different enough from each others so everyone should find one they want to play.
Atm i say give it a go if you don't like it there are plenty of other battle royals out there.

Garbage game
rhfactorx2 April 2024
If you want to hate your life, love this game. So many issues with Apex is not even laughable. All my stats and data wiped for absolutely nothing. If you have an issue with the game, don't worry. EA will do absolutely nothing to help any of it's consumers. It's really a fun game if you take the time to learn how things work, but there's so many problems with hackers, bugs, lag, and technical errors like im having right now. I had spent hundreds of hours playing this game, getting thousands of kills. Now my stats all across the board, on every character, every account stat says 0. From what I've learned in the past about EA, is they will NOT HELP YOU IN ANYWAY.
