Unique legends

Apex Legends is the first battle royale game that offers a wide variety of unique characters that come with their own unique abilities like shields, smoke clouds, healing beacons, artillery strikes, speed boost, and many more. Each team setup feels unique. See More

Fast-paced gameplay

This is an ideal game for those who are tired of long and exhausting battle royale matches since a single round rarely takes more than 20 minutes in total. In fact, around half of the lobby is dead within the first 5 minutes. See More

Cross platform

You can always play with your friends despite them preferring a different platform. See More

Top Pro

Excellent combat mechanics

Unlike many other games where you can dominate your enemies by simply shooting better than them, this game encourages you to pay more attention to your position, state of your equipment, and surroundings giving more room to strategic gameplay thanks to the high mobility of some Legends and the environment itself.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Top Pro

Lots of different strategies you can take

The massive map, the great array of weapons, and the amount of different choices each player can make give you a great deal of strategies to follow to win the game. Even dropping from the plane to start the match is a choice that can greatly affect your possibilities of winning. Do you drop early to gain an edge over opponents? Do you drop close to the centre of the island in order to prepare for the final stages of the battle? Even after dropping from the plane you can choose different strategies. You can play aggressive and try to hunt and kill other players, or you can bide your time, hide inside a building and wait for other players to kill each-other. The possibilities are endless.

Top Con

Steam Rating:Mixed

Top Pro

Always keeps you on the edge

Managing to survive usually means that there's a relatively great time investment going, this increases the stakes of the game and keeps you on the edge at all times. See More

Top Pro

Awesome combination of looting, survival and combat

You start the game getting dropped from a plane where you parachute into a random point of the map. You got to loot to get as good gear/weapons as you can before the game forces everyone to converge to a location for an intense firefight. See More

Fortnite

Top Pro

Different combat classes to master

The hordes of enemies can be challenging to mow down in order to reach objectives around the map while defending your base, and that's where the different combat styles come in to make things easier. Mastering the different classes will give you an edge, like the constructors can quickly build a shield to defend your base from a sudden horde of enemies, and the ninja's boosted mobility and deadly melee attacks.

Top Pro

Fort building is simple, but with plenty of depth

While all the building and demolition options the controls might look complicated at first sight, you'll soon notice that the building itself is quite basic since there are only four major blocks you can use. Using these four major blocks in different combinations opens up many possibilities for all sorts of forts to build. Players can choose to keep things quick and easy with simple bridges in the air to traverse from point to point, or they can go much more in-depth to build impressive fortresses to defend from enemy attacks. You can keep expanding on what you build, growing it over time with stronger walls or scattering traps to cover your blind spots. See More

Top Pro

Smooth performance

Fortnite doesn't put much pressure on your hardware, meaning that even those of you with older gaming rigs will be able to run the game at a stable 60 FPS. The recommended requirements include the Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 equivalent DX11 GPU, meaning you don't need the latest tech to play. See More

Top Pro

Free battle royale mode

The battle royale mode of the game is available for free, capitalizing on the latest surge of the genre's popularity. In Fortnite's battle royale mode, players have unlimited freedom to build their own bases and explore while defending themselves from other players or actively hunting them down. See More
