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.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is the fourth installment in the acclaimed rail shooter series, putting players in the role of Orta, a young girl imprisoned in a tower by the Empire. When a mysterious dragon breaks through the prison camp, Orta takes to the skies to ride the beast, fend off waves of enemy dragonmares, and discover her true destiny. The game combines intense, non-stop shooting action with dynamic gameplay mechanics, allowing players to utilize Orta's firepower alongside the dragon's ability to switch between three distinct forms on the fly. Featuring a sweeping sci-fi storyline, immersive atmospheric environments, and even a port of the original Panzer Dragoon, it offers a thrilling ride for fans of classic arcade shooters.

So much fun

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