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 in an alternate 1957 America, Resistance 3 follows disgraced Sentinel Joseph Capima as he battles the alien Chimeran threat across a devastated United States. The game blends a harrowing single‑player narrative with intense cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. Featuring upgradeable weapons, a classic weapon wheel, and both online and split‑screen co‑op, the title delivers a progression‑based multiplayer experience alongside its story‑driven campaign.

So much fun

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