The End Game of All Battle Royale’s
Apex Legends Review
While not for me, I can see the appeal of the high skill ceilings, frequent content updates, and more in this battle royale that has carved its way into its own niche in the genre. Off-Brand.
These thoughts were compiled in 2022, and may not reflect the current status of the game. Though, in an effort to preserve all of my writing on the Medium platform, it has been republished.
My recommendation (or lack there-of) for Apex Legends is almost purely based on my subjective opinion. Apex has a lot to offer players and is one of the mega pillars of the battle royale genre. It’s got good (enough) support from the developers, a killer parkour based movement system, pretty decent gun play, unique and inclusive heroes, fun hero abilities, extra game modes etc. All while being offered for free! So it really is not half bad of a game if you decide that you want to throw yourself into it for any length of time.
The reason I’m not recommending Apex, as opposed to some other battle royales on the market, boils down to one thing: your time investment.
Apex Legends is A LOT to take in. It’s built such that it wants to be the only game that you obsess over. There are so many things that you have to slowly get accustomed to, least of all is likely the bullet drop…
