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.

In Microcosm you pilot a micro‑submersible through the veins, arteries and organs of a corporate mogul, racing against time to destroy a deadly probe. The game blends cinematic storytelling with fast‑paced shooter action, delivering a unique sci‑fi adventure inside the human body. The single‑player experience offers intense combat, detailed anatomical environments, and a final showdown with the "Gray M" probe, making it both an educational journey and an adrenaline‑filled shooter.

So much fun

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