Apex Legends vs Yakuza 4

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.

Yakuza 4 plunges players back into the neon-lit streets of Tokyo's Kamurocho one year after the events of Yakuza 3. For the first time in the series, the sprawling narrative is experienced through the distinct perspectives of four different protagonists, including a loan shark, a fugitive, a disgraced ex-cop, and series regular Kazuma Kiryu. When a sudden shooting and a subsequent stabbing in Tojo Clan territory ignite a fierce conflict over money, power, and honor, these four unflinching men find their fates inextricably linked. Players must uncover deep conspiracies, battle rival factions in intense beat 'em up combat, and explore a vibrant open-world sandbox filled with side stories and minigames.
