Purely from a gameplay perspective, it’s the best first person battle royale title out there, and well worth dipping into a year on. It’s disappointing that Titanfall 3 seems further away than ever, but for now Apex Legends will do just as well.
Apex Legends spices up the battle royale formula with hero-based shooter pizazz and its revolutionary pinging system, which helps everyone feel welcome to the team. Though its Season One rollout has been disappointing content-wise and its visual flair remains bland, Apex Legends still has the solid foundation necessary for a free-to-play shooter to survive in the long run. And with 50 million players reached in its first month, it's not like it's slowing down anytime soon. We're all jumpmasters now.
There are many free to play Battle Royale games out there that are vying for your attention, but Apex Legends takes the genre to new heights with its superb gunplay, Moreish game loop and a superb communication mechanic.

Getting penalized when I’m in an unranked domination that I get spawn camped. Can’t leave 10 minute penalty. Bye

Legendary game. Easily my favourite game of all time. It's one of the very few games that has genuinely improved with almost every single update. The developers have mastered the art of changing and expanding the game without making it feel worse, boring, or completely different. That seems like a one-in-a-million achievement these days. Even after all these years, it still manages to stay fresh, exciting, and incredibly fun to play. A true masterpiece and a game that sets the standard for how live-service games should be handled.

If you have a PS4, Xbox One, or PC, you should really give Apex Legends a try. It’s managed to hit the ground running, with very little in the way of server issues or other hiccups after the first week. It’s clear Respawn has plans to support the title in the long-term, and the six Legends characters available from the start (with two more unlockable via in-game currency) provide enough variety to begin with. This will be the Battle Royale title I stick with for the immediate future, and I’m excited to see this game evolve over time.

I've been enjoying Apex legends a lot lately. The gameplay is smooth, matches are fast, and it's easy to get into. When I needed to top up, I used M TCGAME and received my recharge quickly without any problems. Overall, a great experience with both the game and the recharge process.

Apex Legends is one of the more entertaining, beautifully balanced, and gorgeous games in the Battle Royale genre. The fact that it is free is delightful, and a good move by Respawn Entertainment. I hope they continue this trend with future updates. I may yet stay in this genre for a while because of this game.

Apex Legends is a mix of smart shooter ideas that makes for a competitive, team-based game that gets at all the best parts of battle royale while addressing a lot of the weaknesses. Respawn's intense focus on team play makes Apex more than just a worthy addition to the genre; it's an indicator of where battle royale should go in the future.

Une originalité bien loin des jeux qu’on a l’habitude de voir Call of duty entre autres

If I had to name the best battle royale, I’d easily say Apex without hesitation. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of the genre, which explains my rating.

Je n’ai pas réussi à accrocher. L’ensemble ne m’a pas convaincu malgré mes efforts.

Too many cheaters have ruined this game, leaving little room to survive. I used to end the night with a couple Defender wins, now it’s just a prison sentence. Watching the replay in Deathmatch, you're jumping around like a clown, while the enemy's Triple Take lands every shot on you.
