The new battle royal game that has taken 25 million players in less than a week from it release has hit the video game community by a storm and players are now finding passion for the new battle royale game. The beautiful aesthetics and fun aspects of the game have already amazing results with players now switching from the battle royal game; Fortnite.

Apex legends has been a big hit from its release date. With many players from fortnite, CsGO and many other games moving to Apex legends. The beautiful graphics and movements have brought many players to change games. The game was created from the creators of the big hit game titanfall. This new game has been showing that it has a big future and that it can compete against other battle royal games.

The game consist of you and two other teammates jumping out of a ship and lading to certain locations with different loot tiers such as, common, uncommon loot. The game then starts with players finding random loot around buildings, and boxes. You then try finding armour, the 4 types are common with only taking an extra 50 hp, blue with 75 hp, purple with 100, and legendary with 100 and the ability to gain full armour with a finisher. These can be found or either picken up from killing the teammate that contained that armour.

The fast paced shooter is very unique with character abilities. Every character has a different ability that can be placed with almost every play style. If you want a heavy brawler camping playstyle try choosing Gibraltar. Most characters are fast paced with abilities of adding movement speed which include, the new character octane, bangladore, pathfinder, wrath and then comes the healer playstyle which has a health drone and passive ability of 25% less time on healing items and there's only one which is Lifeline.

The very fun and fast playstyle of the game makes death in the game very sudden and quick. Certain weapons are stronger than others and more preferable in gun fights. The wingman being one those weapons that with a player with ok aim can make them seem like the pro player. The gun is very overpowered over the other weapons which is was noticed that is what they wanted because of the balance change which was supposed to make it balanced nearly did nothing. They would rather have one of their weapons be on of their go to’s but every weapon is very capable to win a gun fight, other than that the game is very balanced.

The game does have it little tinks that means that the game is very buggy. The game loading is very slow and after jumping out of the ship the server may start to lag and everything will seem to go in slow motion. Which makes the game very slow but at times the server will fix itself and go back to the fast paced game. The game will start out with the whole map open to all locations. The circle will start moving slowly in 4 min increments. The circle is very easy to escape and get out of and not really able to die in it unless you get shot from the inside of it.
