A masterclass in frenetic shooter games.
Apex Legends might, in my opinion, be the best shooter released since Call of Duty Black Ops 2. It has good, balanced maps, champions, and guns. Mechanically though, this is where the game stands out. The weapon mechanics feel great, and moments where you think you hit the shot and it doesn’t register barely ever happen at all. The bullet drop-off and delay feel nearly perfect for every single weapon, and it feels amazing both for short and long range gunfights, which is essential for a battle royale. Even better than the gun mechanics is the movement. It rewards skill very well, and if you watch high level play where people have mastered the games movement you can see that very clearly. By learning the movement, which is already very fun, someone can go from being slow to just zooming through the map. I do dislike some of the movement nerfs that have been put in place, though. Overall, my go-to favorite modern shooter experience. Great game.
