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.

Visari is gone, but the war is far from over as Helghast forces mount a devastating counter-attack, prompting the ISA evacuation of planet Helghan. Outmanned, outgunned, and surrounded, you reassume the role of Sev from Alpha Squad to fight a vindictive enemy in a desperate attempt to escape alive. Building upon its predecessor, the game introduces smoother gameplay, destructive environments, new traversal tools like the jet-pack exoskeleton, and support for 3D TVs alongside an upgraded multiplayer experience and split-screen co-op.

So much fun

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