    An excellent Battle Royale, which has many innovations and enhancements and can attract even those who are not fans of this genre. [Issue#294]

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

    Respawn’s game elevates its entire genre, doing away with its failings while innovating upon its strengths. From out of nowhere, it’s become the prodigious new face of a worldwide phenomenon.

    Apex Legends is one of the best multiplayer games of the generation, with an excellent gameplay, a revolutionary communication system and fun and satisfying mechanics.

    I'm excited to see Respawn's plans for the future. Although Apex Legends is fairly light on content at the moment, after having played it for over a week now, it's become my new favorite battle royale game. Matches are quick enough that I never feel burned by a sudden loss and jumping back in with different legend makes it more addictive than any battle royale I've played so far.

    Respawn gives you the most polished Battle Royale experience yet, even though for now it lacks variety in the long run.

    A refinement of battle royale, Apex Legends is great fun — but there's still room for improvement.

    There is a number of issues that currently plague this game and make it largely unplayable for a mediocre player like me.
    1. No matchmaking
    There is a number of issues that currently plague this game and make it largely unplayable for a mediocre player like me.
    1. No matchmaking whatsoever. If you end up being matched against a guy who has 7k kills, you know you won't be winning this no matter what you do. There should be a matchmaking mechanism in place that matches you with players of the same skill, a little better and little worse, not 10 times better. It doesn't take a rocket science to measure performance and match best players against each other. Then the game would make sense. Otherwise, look point 4 and 5.
    2. Terrible group mechanics. If you get an invite from any of your friends during the game and you accidentally hit "T" which also happens to be the key for team voice communication, you're being instantly removed from the game to the lobby without being able to return to your match.
    3. Lags, rubber banding, slow-motion movement, all of which happen quite often.
    4. Gameplay, which resembles Unreal Tournament or Quake games more than any other Battle Royale. With all the ADHD children hopping around like stupid, hitting high tier player is simply not possible.
    5. Shields that protect way too little in the current game pace. So either the game should be slower, matchmaking should be present, or the shield protection higher against higher tier players.
    6. Since gameplay is so fast paced, there's really no incentive to keep grouping up. Random players which drop solo, and solo the whole game, that do not help the squad mates, do not respawn them and do not revive them, are abundant. You cannot really force players to help each other, but you can make the game less attractive for solo players.

    To sum it up, when I get matched with players of around my skill, and against players of around my skill, then the game is fun. If I get matched with high tier players against players of around my skill, then I can do nothing for the whole game and get a win. If I get matched with players of around my skill against high tier players, then I can gather stuff for 15 minutes and get killed in 4 seconds, which makes the whole exercise boring, and playing the game pointless. So in general, get a matchmaking, which takes 3 variables like time played, kills made, and overall win score into account, and you'll have a good game. Do nothing, and you'll have a game that will be played by hardcore shooter gamers that will move on to a next title as soon as the hype is gone, which is about now.

The "game" as such is very bad - servers with 1 tickrate, very bad netcode, movement is very poor and TONS of cheaters. It's a cash grabbing EA scam. As per usual.

    My verdict: Stay away.
