Apex Legends Reviews
Respawn Entertainment's surprise release is a super polished and innovative battle royale that's easily the best in the genre.
Apex Legends isn't the last Titanfall game that we were waiting for, but it managed to surprise us by its innovative gameplay, inspired not only by the Battle Royale genre, but also by FPS and MOBA games.

Apex Legends is a surprisingly different interpretation of the Battle Royale formula that introduces new rules for engagement while also refining many of the issues the genre has grappled with for months. It's ingenious tagging system and clever character abilities make it a multiplayer shooter that's easy to pick up and play, but also deep enough to sink hundreds of hours into for months to come.
Apex Legends is an expertly-crafted battle royale shooter, which is no surprise when you consider the development team behind it. It feels like the culmination of lessons learned from other games in the genre, almost as if battle royale has finally grown up. Combining the hero shooting concept of Overwatch and others before it with battle royale seems obvious, in hindsight. What isn't so obvious is that injecting Titanfall-inspired gunplay makes the package much more compelling. We are only a week into the life of Apex Legends, but the outlook is looking pretty great from where we're standing.
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.Ali Jones
For a game that had literally zero marketing, it has taken the player base by storm.
Apex Legends lays down the gauntlet to established Battle Royale games such as Fortnite and PUBG. The ping system alone is worth its weight in gold and allows for the more reserved gamers amongst us to join in and have fun. Loot boxes aside, Apex Legends is fast, fun and buttery smooth to play.
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.
A fantastic battle royale game and one of the best shooters of this generation. Also, it's free!

Though I entered a skeptic of Apex Legends, my experience with the title has made me believe that it the best battle royale game currently on the market.
There is a clear open road for Apex Legends to succeed and the latest game of Respawn Entertainment is a game to enjoy even if you now hate battle royale games. But in terms of future, it comes all to good and consistent support from the devs.

Even the most jaded of battle royale fans will find their interest rejuvenated by Apex Legends thanks to Respawn's attention to detail, superior gunplay, and fantastic innovations, even if the loot boxes and progression system need addressing.
My mother always told me that forgiveness is a virtue. EA, publisher of Apex Legends, has made it difficult to embody this attribute because over the course of many sunken dollars, they have disappointed me with undelivered promises, pricey in-game transactions, and abandoned developments. However, like a beaten dog, I’ve come whimpering back to their wide open, well-polished arms. Apex Legends is fun, it’s addicting, and the urge to play JUST ONE MORE is ever present. It’s difficult to say after not even a week since its launch, but if you’re looking for the next big competitive game, Apex Legends might just be it. I, for one, will be happy if it is.
Apex Legends is definitely worthy of being called "The best battle royale of this generation". By having an amazing and enjoyable gunplay and also a good mixture of elements that make battle royale games fun, Apex Legends has managed to become a game that is worth investing hundreds of hours in.

Apex Legends is a unique battle royale game focuses on the battle. The gameplay is much faster and intenser compared with PUBG or Fortnite. The biggest problem, for now, is lacking in content, but I believe it will be better when new maps or new weapons come out.

Ultimately, 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.
Overall, I’ve found more to enjoy in Apex Legends than to gripe about, particularly in the game’s colorful cast of characters
Respawn does not reinvent Battle Royale, but the teamplay focus makes it one of the best in the genre.
