Apex Legends is a game where communication is key to winning games. Even among some of the better players, If your team is on point with comms - You have a good chance of winning the fight. Its not one of those games where you should run off from your team to try and kill everyone.

If you're new to this game, I can vouch it is fun with friends and if you stick with it, it becomes more fun. Although, the first few hours - you'll hate this game and you definitely will contemplate of uninstalling it. It's a game where you need to explore and find your own meta. Every character has it's own unique abilities which is not limited to weapons but also gameplay and perks that can help yourself or your team. I made this mistake of simply being lazy and using what character i thought looked cool and what gun shot the fastest, But as i got comfortable with the game i explored other characters and guns and realised i am much better which a different setup. My advice, take your time but don't be scared or lazy to explore other characters and guns. What helps to pick? Well simply ask yourself what kind of FPS game style are you? Do you like flanking? Do you like rushing? Do you like long range combat and fighting? Do you like kicking back and slowly playing? Do you like helping your team mates more than fighting ? There are characters for pretty much every style. I like flanking / rushing when I know my team mates are in good positioning for it - I use Octane. He's great, especially with passive healing.

Characters from Healing, Tanking, Rushing, Support, Recon, Defensive and much more. Characters that specialise in that specific genre will have an icon near there display picture indicating so.

The one thing i have noticed which does ♥♥♥♥ is the lack of communication when you que for a game by yourself. I'm not sure if it's just my bad luck but out of the 300+ games i have played so far, i can say at least 10 percent or lower have had no mics or do not bother communicating.

This game is cross-platform play which is nice, you can play with friends not just on PC but also console, also when you QUE by yourself you mainly get your own platform. My friend plays on PS4 and when he que with me, we get mainly PC players regardless.

Once you find yourself the habit of not trying to fight every second and when you do fight being smart and using your game-sense to heal when you can will help a lot. I jumped straight into this game trying to shoot at any target but in Apex Legends you need to observe to see if that fight is favoured in your way as fights are much different from other shooter games.

Now the big question. Cheaters?

I have come across minimal amount of cheaters, Not sure if i am lucky but it's true, Seems like Apex / Easy Anti Cheat are doing well combating cheaters. With every game there are cheaters, Although i can vouch Apex isn't riddled with them as of this review.
