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.

Set after the European battle, Resistance 2 thrusts players into the role of Sgt. Nathan Hale as humanity makes its final stand against the alien Chimera on American soil. The single‑player campaign blends intense firefights, new weapons, and massive boss encounters while Hale battles a virus threatening to turn him into the very enemy he fights. The game also offers a groundbreaking eight‑player class‑based co‑op campaign and massive 60‑player competitive modes, supporting split‑screen play for both solo and team experiences on the PlayStation 3.

So much fun

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