Disclaimer: I only play quickplay, not ranked so this is a review based on that.

I'm not a huge fan of fps or competitive games, but I play some valo and apex. This game, made by ex battlefield devs, is pretty enjoyable. There's a couple of game modes, hold the platform and cashout (which is what i play) where basically you retrieve a randomly spawning box and cash it out in what is effectively a control point.

There are three "classes" to choose from, light medium and heavy, which come with their own movement speeds and a huge amount of weapons and gadgets to unlock.

One of the most fun parts of the game is that every building and structure in the game can be destroyed, either with randomly spawning items in each map, or by certain weapons/gadgets. This leads to some suprisingly strategic gameplay when it comes to accessing a point a team is holding.

I play it most days and its a lot of fun to play, and it helps that the game has a wealth of dress up items too, which I am a huge fan of!

Downsides;

Battlepass feels very, very long to get the end, although you do have a lot of time to complete it
Leavers and AFKers are a big problem, at least in unranked, theres no penatly for it and it happens a fair amount, leading to giga unbalanced games
Sometimes it feels devs are retroactive in nerfing things instead of proactive leading to sweaty meta players (nature of the genre I guess)
On some maps its VERY easy to fall off the edge and die (this could just be a boomer issue)

All of the above said, I do enjoy it, and its a fun game to play.
