If you ever yearned for Fallout in space, this is the closest relative you’ll likely ever see. The best part about Apex Legends? It’s free-to-play and none of the microtransactions give you a competitive advantage. And in a change from other battle royale games, you can bring teammates back to life after a bit of recon work. The gunplay is as good as Titanfall and feels great in the battle royale format, thanks to varied options and a bunch of cool attachments. The spacious sci-fi map is full of surprises and little details. There’s no need to even speak through a mic. The ping system lets you place markers on weapons, enemies, and other points of interest to help you keep your teammates informed. Apex Legends has the best nonverbal communication system we’ve seen in a multiplayer game. The 60-player format splits players up into teams of three, with each contest choosing from a pool of legends with unique abilities.

While it doesn’t have the Titans or the awesome wall running, Apex Legends is a refreshing entry in the battle royale genre.

Apex Legends is a squad-based battle royale from Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind the excellent Titanfall series.
