While there’s not much parkour to be had here (a missed opportunity if you ask us), moving around on the game’s two giant maps still feels fluid, as you run, slide, and zipline across Kings Canyon and World’s Edge. The game also benefits greatly from the Titanfall-style traversal. The key is to learn all of the characters and what they do, and learning each new Legend always feels rewarding as opposed to a task. And there are plenty more to choose from, catering to most kinds of playstyles. There’s the fast-talking, quick-witted Mirage, whose special ability allows him to create duplicates of himself to lure enemies the always-positive Pathfinder, who creates ziplines for faster travel around the map Caustic, a scientist who really loves poison gas (his gas traps can be deadly in confined spaces) and Gibraltar, a tank worthy of his class thanks to his bombardment ultimate and plethora of shields.

It helps that the characters themselves are dripping with personality and with just enough backstory to make them more interesting than your average skin swap. There’s rarely a dull round of Apex Legends. Instead, you need to work alongside your three-player team, mixing and matching the different Legends and their abilities, to survive the game’s intense firefights and down-to-the-wire showdowns for first place. Picking your favorite character and running-and-gunning isn’t always the best way to win a round of Apex Legends, just like it’s not entirely smart to charge into Overwatch without at least one tank or support character.

Unlike its predecessors, Apex Legends incorporates elements of hero shooters like Overwatch to give the game its unique personality as well as an emphasis on teamwork and strategy. Indeed, Fortnite and PUBG might be responsible for popularizing battle royale games but Apex Legends perfected the formula with its mix of colorful characters, fast-paced traversal, and creative abilities. Released on the same day it was announced, this free-to-play multiplayer shooter gave us a new way to experience the popular battle royale genre just as it was starting to feel like there was nowhere left for the genre to go.
