The alarm has sounded, the light has changed from red to green and you are standing on the drop ramp. Your squad gets the “jump!” command and you go all out with rocket boosters forcing you to the ground more quickly than a freefall. You touch down on the landing platform and begin to scour for weapons, all the while enemy squads are doing the same. This is our review for Apex Legends.

Read the full story here

    Such a fun game. This coming from someone that has never cared for the genre, but there is something about this one that caught me off guard.

    Good job on letting EA know that loot boxes are the best way to make a game. Thumbs up.

    I don't get all the hype... it's a great game...but it doesn't bring anything new mechanics wise and it gets stale fast

    This game has NOTHING to do with it's popularity.A ton of disgruntled Fortnite players simply wanted a new place to reside,one where they might feel less tension and could perhaps compete at the top again.

    Ninja remains in Fortnite,he is the most popular and quite likely paid by Epic to stay there.I watched many of the top streamers cry like little babies in their last days of Fortnite,they complained about the exact same things they are doing in Apex,so yeah just childish venting.

    You have to understand that once you have played that same game for awhile and your viewership relies on you being successful,there is a lot of pressure tension on you as a streamer to always win,they felt that pressure and moved on.


    These games are risen to top dogs because of top streamer popularity and to me,that is a very shallow reason to follow a game or give it any props.Point being,i could care less what Summit or Ninja or Cutiepie are playing or doing,not a care in the world,i pick and choose my own game to watch and play.

    It is super fun, but sucks when your team stupidly drops in a place with 10 other teams in limited weapon spawn area. Um, hello? Even if we manage to get weapons and survive SOME of the spastic fisting going on,there's a strong chance of losing HP, armor, and die to some lucky person who gets a single hit at someone already heavily damaged.

    The. Map. Is. Huge. Spreading out makes the shooter a bit more fun. But common sense is a myth, because it definitely isn't common.

    CON: Characters should all unlock through gameplay

    Actually you can. I mean, that's how I unlocked the 2 remaining Characters, as I didn't spend a dime on Apex yet. You get 600 Legend Tokens per level, so by level 20 you get to unlock 1 , and by 40 , both of them.

    So .. you may want to edit that part.

    I think the op could be right in the long term though. The leveling of your profile stops at 100, thus you no longer earn legend tokens at that point. They will be introducing new legends, which you will have to unlock if you want to play. At that point you might have enough from leveling to 100 if you have left over or if you didn't buy the other 2, but eventually you would have to be them as far as we know. Now, this could technically not be correct as they could just as easily add the legend currency into the battle pass system within the free leveling side of the pass; but you never know.

    The cons are a little strange though, cause motion sickness only affects certain people. There are a ton of people out there who just can't play FPS games cause they get motion sick. I mean, does the game not have an FOV slider? I honestly don't remember. One thing I find funny is that this game is already getting the "I don't like that game because it is popular!" people flailing about. That is when you know a game is a monster hit. (See: WoW, Minecraft, League,Fortnite)

    The max level in this game is 100 and you can only get 45 total apex packs for free from lvl1-100, which is pretty disappointing that they are gonna lock most of the skins behind a paywall.
    I know they have to make money somehow but they should atleast reward people for putting all that time into there game because now after max level there is basically no progression.

    Honestly I think it's how polished and smooth the game actually is. Last few years we've gotten used to playing "on release" games that aren't actually finished and this was just too different.

    Well , by lvl 100 , you will have 36k Legend Tokens to use ( beside the already 24k ), which, I assume the upcoming Legends will also cost 12k , that means you will still have Tokens for another 3 Legends, so no .. OP could not be right.

    I think Apex could easily add some other game modes. PlanetSide like territory control , conquest , deathmatch and team / squad deathmatch.. may as well try to expand before the next big thing comes along.

    It will be much more fun when they add solo queue.

    "Cons = Characters should all unlock through gameplay"
    You do unlock them through gameplay, you continue to gain legend tokens even past level 100 (Meaning there is NO CAP to how many tokens you can actually get from just leveling past 100, currently a player by the name Dizzy has over 100k Tokens and still going)
    I'll add a imgur link to show proof that you still gain tokens after reaching max level and onwards.

    If only it had the mobility and speed of Titanfall. Lack of double jump and wallrun makes no sense to me. Why remove two of the most unique things about their previous game and replace it with zany Overwatch character classes?

    -Let's you revive team mates who were executed.(In the works to be copied in Fortnite)
    -Has revolutionary ping system making no mic communication very efficient.(Now Ubisoft is copying it for Rainbow Six: Siege, already copied by Fornite)
    -No lobby matchmaking

    I think those are three pretty big features, I'm having doubts you have actually played the game.
