Apex Legends vs Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In

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.

Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In is a tactical first‑person shooter released on December 15, 2000 for PC. Developed by Innerloop Studios and published by Eidos Interactive, the game emphasizes stealth, hacking, and realistic weaponry over run‑and‑gun action. Players control agent David Jones as he infiltrates heavily guarded Eastern‑European installations to stop a rogue ex‑Russian colonel from unleashing nuclear devastation. The title features AI‑driven enemies, in‑engine cutscenes, and a proprietary engine that delivered strong sound design and graphics for its time. Though it lacks multiplayer and mid‑game saves, its mission‑based stealth gameplay and tactical tools like napalm strikes and binocular scouting have earned it a cult following.
