Overview
Description

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale built around squads of “Legends” with unique abilities, praised for its fast, fluid movement, gunplay, and ping communication system.

Step into the shoes of a ruthless street fighter and battle for control of New York's hip‑hop underground. With over 40 real‑world artists, interactive venues and a deep hybrid‑style system, the game delivers a gritty, music‑driven fighting experience. Create your own fighter, mix up to three fighting disciplines, wield dozens of weapons, and dominate both local split‑screen matches and online crew battles on PlayStation 2.

So much fun

Apex Legends has been my go-to lately. Strong hero design. One gripe: steep aim skill ceiling. Would recommend.
