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.

Killzone Shadow Fall is the sixth installment in the acclaimed Killzone series, offering open-ended shooter gameplay where multiple paths lead to your objectives. Players take on the role of Lucas Kellan, an elite Shadow Marshal tasked with maintaining a fragile Cold War between Vektans and Helghast refugees separated by a massive security wall on planet Vekta. The game introduces the versatile OWL companion drone for tactics like zip-lining and stunning enemies, alongside futuristic weaponry enabling new stealth mechanics. Featuring a robust 24-player online multiplayer mode with classic modes like Warzone, Team Deathmatch, and Beacon Retrieval, it also empowers the community to design and share custom Warzones.

So much fun

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