Apex Legends

Apex Legends builds on the battle royale formula while bringing new mechanics to the genre. At its core essence, it mixes together the fundamental mechanics of games like Fortnite and PUBG and blends them with the character-based powers and personalities of hero shooters like Overwatch.

Teams of three players compete to be the last team standing, and finding the right combination of powers to overcome your opposition and survive until the end means smartly combining together complementary powers. There's a great balance between twitch responses and teamwork on display here, and Apex Legends folds in some quality of life features that help streamline the battle royale experience. Players can tag resources and equipment for their teammates to identify, and the powers are varied enough to necessitate a wider variety of strategies than you'll find in other battle royales. And with a season pass and the regular roll out of new characters and weapons, the meta of this game is constantly changing.
