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.

Thief is a first-person stealth action-adventure game developed by Eidos Montréal. Players take control of Garrett, a master thief navigating a plague-ridden, oppressive city ruled by a tyrant known as the Baron. By relying on stealth rather than force, players must infiltrate high-security estates, steal valuable riches, and uncover a dark political conspiracy. Utilizing an array of specialized arrows, lockpicks, and environmental awareness, Garrett moves through shadows to evade guards or take them down silently. The game features open-ended mission design, dynamic light-and-shadow mechanics, and customizable challenge settings that cater to both new players and purist stealth fans.

So much fun

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