"Apex Legends," developed by Respawn Entertainment, and published by EA, has become the fastest growing online battle-royale shooter, with its popularity snowballing to over 25 million players in just the first week since launch. Apex Legends is being appreciated by players for having a polished, well-tested presentation, slick gameplay, reasonable eye-candy, low "pay-to-win" perception among players, good performance on entry-level and mainstream graphics hardware, and offering many of the inventory-management, gameplay, and teamplaying features felt lacking in other titles. The game is free-to-play, distributed through Origin.

    It's a solid game. I haven't played more than a few days, but I'd say I'm hooked. Best BR I've ever played.

    Only reason it's popular is because people want to try something other than Fortnite and PUBG. Give it a couple months and soon it'll die down and everyone will go back to Fortnite and PUBG like they always do. It's just the way it is with these BR games.

    I swear I'm going to make a game with awesome graphics, horrible content, horrible mechanics, and horrible gameplay, then the night before launch leak a passcode for the final boss encounter with a cut scene. No returns, and I'll have made my money.
