Apex Legends has a balanced and satisfying spread of weapons, providing more than enough options to keep things fun and varied, but without going overboard and overwhelming us with sheer volume. The gunplay itself is slick, smooth and fast-paced, being more than a little reminiscent of Titanfall ’s enjoyable shooting mechan

A Darksiders event is scheduled to take place at E3, which is meant to end with a reveal for a "brand new Darksiders game that takes the franchise in a fresh direction", which means that Darksiders IV is a safe bet for an announcement at

Plenty of developers have jumped on the battle royale bandwagon , but which of these many battle royale games comes out on top? If they were put in a big arena, who would be the last man standing? We’re ranking the best battle royale games of all time and stacking them against each ot

EA Play will open with a stream about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , which is an upcoming action-adventure game that tells the story of Cal Kestis - a Padawan who managed to escape Order 66 and must now survive in a galaxy that has turned hostile to the Jedi Or

It's an all-around terrible weapon outside of the initial loot scramble. Replace it, avoid it, leave it for some other unfortunate soul to struggle with. You've got bigger fish to fry if you're not in immediate dan

While Hi-Rez is mostly known for SMITE , they have a few other games in the mix as well. Paladins is their attempt to get in to class-based shooters, and Realm Royale is their attempt at getting into battle royale ga

However, the developers shut it down to turn it into a battle royale. The game has been criticized for losing what made it unique in favor of trying to cash in on the trends of the gaming industry. That said, there are some things that it does w

Firstly, you can bash down doors. Since players often use them as cover or as crude "alarm" systems when camping, there are obvious applications here. Next, it's a great way to get past knockdown shields, saving you valuable ammunition. It's also worth noting that you can perform flying kicks while airborne, and uppercuts while sliding. Though being honest, both are pretty impracti

Apex Legends' game map also includes an emphasis on verticality. There are zip lines in and around the map and its hot spots, and there are balloon launching points that players can zip up to and jet away to other parts of the map. One of the playable characters can even deploy their own zip lines for the squad. These systems work well with the nicely flowing control scheme and animations of Apex Legends where players can slide down hills or mantle up to high ledges. If you see something, there's usually a way to get there, except for some of the cliff and mountain tops which are out of bounds. Did we mention that top player Underrated Legends Apex will be displayed in-game on banners and there's bonus XP for taking out kill lead

The game's monetization model involves selling premium currency that can be spent on (very expensive) premium character and weapon skins, and the game's loot boxes (called Apex Packs). The Apex Packs contain everything from skins, to emotes, lines of dialogue for characters, and scrap that can be used to craft cosmetics not yet acquired. The best part of this take on the Overwatch loot formula is that there are no duplicates, and the rarity levels of everything are outlined on the official Apex Legends website. In the future, there will be battle passes for seasons (taking from the Fortnite and Rainbow Six Siege playbook) that last three months where limited time cosmetics can be earned or purcha

Taking the dubious honor of this list's bottom entry is this unremarkable semi-auto pistol. The magazine size is best described as claustrophobic and it has the weakest damage output in the game, barring maybe the melee attack. But even that has redeeming qualit

There are some companies that have already revealed their E3 lineup, such as EA, while others have said practically nothing about their schedule, like Nintendo. It's impossible for the gaming world too have any kind of event without leaks happening from all corners of the Internet, so some of the big announcements have already been spoiled online, or at least they will have been when they are confirmed to be legit when the show takes pl

This strange, triple-barreled shotgun-pistol hybrid handles poorly, and necessitates frequent, sluggish reload animations. The only upside is that if you come face to face with another poorly equipped looter in the early game, you'll be able to kick out surprising amounts of dam

It almost seems as though each character was designed with solo play in mind, given that the only character with an ability that’s no longer useful at all in a Solos Mode is Lifeline. Though Lifeline will no longer be able to leverage the ability to quickly revive teammates, she still has a fast heal as part of her passive, which is extremely helpful as a solo pla
