Apex Legends Review

 

Apex Legends takes a different approach from other Battle Royal video games. Apex’s main ideas come from the game Titanfall. Apex Legends is a 60 player Battle Royal that came out on February 4, 2019. The game has 18 different characters to play from. Each Legend has different abilities such as support, recon, offense, and defense. The game has had so much growth since its beginning.

 The in-game cosmetics never fail to disappoint players and are designed by professionals who put in many hours. One of my favorite skins is for the AR called the R301, the skin is called Ice Cold. What makes cosmetics so interesting in Apex is the detail the designers put into each skin. There are all kinds of things on these skins, skulls, feathers, ice, numbers, and so much more. 

Apex has four Maps that players can play on. The first map that the game released in 2019 was “Kings Canyon.” The desert-like map and a swampy POI’s (Point of Interest) Over the time apex has been out the map has had many changes. To some POIs are getting destroyed or new things are being added to them. The second map called “Worlds Edge” got added at the end of 2019. It is my favorite map to play on. The map is a snowy map with a city in the center of it. A lot of Apex’s community loves that map. The fights on that map are so fast-paced. If you get in one fight there can be so many other players that join in. In November of 2020 Apex added their third map called “Olympus.” Olympus is a floating island map that is full of grassy hills and lots of cities. In May of 2021 Apex added their newest map for Season 11 called Storm point. It is full of water and grass and beaches. 

Respawn, the creator of Apex and Titanfall, and many other games have the best movement system. Apex’s First Person shooter movement is no match to many other Battle Royale games. The sliding mechanics in Apex are superior to Fornite and Warzone. In Apex you are able to wall jump, fly off of jump towers, tap strafe, and super glide. Fortnite and Warzone have no system of wall jumping, super gliding, or tap strafing. Using this movement in fights ends them quicker because it makes it harder for your enemy to hit you and it messes with your enemy’s head. Using this movement can be so satisfying once a player has mastered it. 

I recommend this game for people looking for a new FPS game. Apex Legends is fast-paced and the movement system does not disappoint. The designers in Apex put so much creativity into skins for the legends and gun skins. Every time a new event comes out they always have new skins and it always blows the community away. Having 18 different legends to choose from never gets boring. I have been personally playing this game since its launch, on February 4, 2019, and I recommend this game. It is so much fun and I think you will enjoy it too.
