Apex Legends: The 10 Best Legends In Season 6 Ranked
Why have I thrown myself so hard at this game? Is it the mechanics? Well, for starters, yeah – they’re among the best I’ve ever touched in a shooter, but that’s not it. What about the visuals? Sure, they’re undeniably great, but there’s something more. And while I could sit here and talk about how smartly designed the maps are, or how good all the guns feel, or how the traversal tech is more interesting than its peers, it’s not necessarily the mechanics that have grabbed me as hard as one other major fa
The randomly-generated level layout means players will never experience the same FPS game Updates twice, adding to the title's replayability. To make things even better, players could tackle the game in co-op, allowing them to escape death with their friends time and time ag
But even the outliers have their own problems. Ana, an elderly woman in a sick-ass headscarf, gets a skin that makes her younger and sexier. Mei seems kind of portly, until you put on literally anything other than her default outfit and realize, huh, she’s actually just got a pretty conventionally acceptable hourglass figure and enormous tits. The only one I can give any props to, really, is Zarya. Despite the silly boob armor, she genuinely bucks conventional design trends with it comes to female characters, both in terms of personality and physicality. She’s more in line with the wild diversity present in the male characters, and I really do wish that diversity was represented in the female charact
Well sure, the cost of PS4s and Xbox Ones went down significantly in the advent of next-gen but even so, smartphones remain more affordable. That is after taking into account the need for a television or monitor for the conso
Plus, the character designs across the board are very good. There's no titty armor or weeaboo nonsense – every character’s outfit and physical appearance fits their role, has good glance value, follows the classic silhouette test rule , and has a cohesiveness to it that fits in the context of the universe. It’s a game that draws you into its world based on the way the characters look, instead of yanking you out of it. That’s a hard thing to accomplish, especially when it comes to a PVP free-to-play game. It takes a lot of extra effort to not just try and appeal to the lowest common denominator like certain other games that are MOBAs made by Riot Games or shooters made by Hi-Res. A
Whether you're roleplaying as a super soldier, heroic knight, or even a cartoon bear, it can be deflating and embarrassing to see your protagonist crumble to the ground in a heap from a fall. Do you mean to tell me that this burly, super-powered character who's supposed to save the entire world can't handle a crash landing? Sounds like a wimp to
Risk of Rain 2 is a fast-paced third-person shooter roguelike that takes place in an alien world filled with hordes of deadly creatures. Players must fight their way through increasingly challenging levels while collecting items and power-ups to enhance their abilit
There's little to no debate here. Weezing is the obvious Pokémon for Caustic. Caustic spends his time in Apex Legends setting traps of noxious gas to slowly suffocate his opponents. Weezing was quite literally born to do the exact same thing. Together, these two could clear a room in seconds. This combination could perhaps be the most deadly of all between Caustic's Nox Gas Grenade and Weezing's signature Poison Gas move. If these two are in the fight, players must be sure to bring a gas m
The game's futuristic setting isn't just for story purposes. PlatinumGames created a ton of interesting and exciting gameplay mechanics that center around sci-fi technology, making Vanquish feel unique even to this
I can see the argument for why fall damage should be in certain games. Series like Uncharted and Tomb Raider aim for a high level of realism with their action, so it makes total sense to include it. In the real world, any of the death-defying leaps that characters like Nathan Drake or Lara Croft perform would result in a broken fibula or separated shoulder even when they landed perfectly. It would break immersion if they survived falling fifty feet onto a rocky surface without at least stubbing their
If you were an early adopter of Apex Legends then you remember when Gibraltar and Caustic were considered bottom tier due to their movement and hitboxes. These days Gibraltar stands as a top pick despite getting nerfed constantly at this point. With the addition of the new Legend Rampart, Gibraltar's usefulness only increased as his abilities offer natural counters to the new Legend. The Evo Shield changes in Season 6 make his area of effect abilities a lot more useful in team fights, as w
Realism is great and all, but the best kinds of games are the ones that say "screw it" and let you fly around without any fear of your ankles exploding. Fast-paced first-person shooters like the newer Doom games, multiplayer titles like Apex Legends , or superhero simulators like Marvel's Spider-Man all feel amazing because you're allowed to fling yourself into the air without worrying about how much damage you'll take when your feet meet the concrete. In some cases, these games even give you a move that lets you collide with the Earth quicker to deliver a colossal ground pound. Any game that encourages you to fall even faster is an A+ in my bo
