Apex Legends
Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale shooter Apex Legends has sustained its popularity for a few reasons, but the biggest one is how good the gunplay feels. I mean, this is the team that made Titanfall, after all, one of the most exhilarating shooting franchises to grace consoles in a minute.
Putting a few bullets in some online randoms is crunchy and impactful, and the game’s tense skirmishes in tight corridors mirror some of the best action in Call of Duty’s online multiplayer.
While they’re not totally the same genre—one’s an action shooter, the other’s a battle royale—Apex Legends is still a solid FPS that’ll help kill plenty of time until Modern Warfare 2 drops. -LW
