Not a very balanced game that doesn’t really respond well to the community. Graphics are very poor and a lot of the content comes from titanfall which makes sense, but the number of titanfall content in apex makes it seem lazy. The map design is also very lazy and bland and feels like every location is very similar and underwhelming. The basis of luck over skill is also a major problem I’ve encountered like when you land and a team all gets purple shield while you and your team all has white or none, there is a small chance you could win that fight. Then there’s the customizables and loot boxes which are the worst of any multiplayer game I’ve seen, all of the white, blue, and purple skins are reskins of each other. Even some of the legendaries are reskins. Then there’s the outrageous cost of these mediocre skins which usually starts at around 20 dollars. The heirlooms only encourage you to dump hundreds of dollars into something that provides no in game benefit and sometimes doesn’t even look very good. The events are lackluster and don’t really bring enough enjoyment to the game since they don’t change enough. And then the biggest problem is probably the toxic teammates and lack of developer support to fix the situation, you will constantly get teammates that can’t or won’t pull their weight in a game designed for team play. The easiest fix for this would’ve been solos but the devs refuse to add this even though a majority of their players are solo players and solos has been an Ltd in the past. Apex is a very flawed game that doesn’t really acknowledge those flaws well enough and chooses to use lazy development and reused content to make it seem like there is change when in fact it’s just to get you to spend more money. This game is unfortunately a 6/10 for me.
