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.

Destiny is an action-packed first-person shooter that incorporates massively multiplayer online elements into a shared-world experience. Set in the distant future after an event known as the Collapse, players take on the role of Guardians revived by a Ghost to defend humanity against the forces of The Darkness across various locations throughout the Solar System. The game features on-the-fly matchmaking for cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes, driven by an innovative engine that supports global illumination and real-time dynamic lighting. Players explore ruined locations like the Cosmodrome in Old Russia, upgrade their gear, and embark on epic campaigns either solo or alongside fellow Guardians.

So much fun

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