Overview
Apex Legends features polished visuals and responsive movement and gunplay, but suffers from technical bugs, unoriginal mechanics, slow match pacing, an oversized map with a 60-player limit, repetitive desert scenery, generic character skills, redundant weapons, and small squad sizes, resulting in an overall rating of 4.1 out of 10.
Proposed improvements for Apex Legends include shrinking the map, increasing the player count or squad sizes, introducing heavier weaponry, melee combat, vehicles, and adding larger team modes like 50 versus 50.
