Apex Legends Has Better Character Designs Than Overwatch (Here's Why)

Why have I thrown myself so hard at this game? Is it the mechanics? Well, for starters, yeah – they’re among the best I’ve ever touched in a shooter, but that’s not it. What about the visuals? Sure, they’re undeniably great, but there’s something more. And while I could sit here and talk about how smartly designed the maps are, or how good all the guns feel, or how the traversal tech is more interesting than its peers, it’s not necessarily the mechanics that have grabbed me as hard as one other major fa

Then again, you might get so hooked up in the battle royale experience offered by PUBG that you dream about it every waking moment. In that case, you can always indulge yourself in some mobile Hunger Ga

In both video games and food, price is king. Almost half of the world's population plays video games every day , but with thousands of new games coming to the Steam Store daily, the fight for players' attention can be diffic

Revenant seems like a complicated character at first, but ultimately his skills are pretty simple and you can make good use of them with very little effort, whether you want to be a hardcore damage-dealing champion or a faithful comrade that supports from the sideli

But even the outliers have their own problems. Ana, an elderly woman in a sick-ass headscarf, gets a skin that makes her younger and sexier. Mei seems kind of portly, until you put on literally anything other than her default outfit and realize, huh, she’s actually just got a pretty conventionally acceptable hourglass figure and enormous tits. The only one I can give any props to, really, is Zarya. Despite the silly boob armor, she genuinely bucks conventional design trends with it comes to female characters, both in terms of personality and physicality. She’s more in line with the wild diversity present in the male characters, and I really do wish that diversity was represented in the female charact

Queueing in-fps game guides and then forming a squad or even clan in PUBG Mobile is easy. It's only a matter of a few minutes before you and your friends are fighting over silencers or blaming each other for missing the safe zone. It's still

Plus, the character designs across the board are very good. There's no titty armor or weeaboo nonsense – every character’s outfit and physical appearance fits their role, has good glance value, follows the classic silhouette test rule , and has a cohesiveness to it that fits in the context of the universe. It’s a game that draws you into its world based on the way the characters look, instead of yanking you out of it. That’s a hard thing to accomplish, especially when it comes to a PVP free-to-play game. It takes a lot of extra effort to not just try and appeal to the lowest common denominator like certain other games that are MOBAs made by Riot Games or shooters made by Hi-Res. A

This doesn't apply to every gun—in fact, only a few have this option—but knowing the option exists is a big advantage, especially when the indicator is small and non assuming, giving uninformed players a seriously underutilized weap

Apex Legends is the phoenix that’s risen from the ashes of Titanfall, and what a beautiful phoenix it is. I've poured hundreds of hours into the game, and hundreds of dollars into merch. Hell, I even got a nose stud because of Wra

Then you have Bloodhound, the non-binary espionage expert. It’s a cool way to put a non-binary character in a AAA game, I feel, because whatever perceived "gendered" physical characteristics they might have are obscured by a gas mask and bulky clothing. Their appearance is calculated very deliberately to be genderless and ambiguous, which is a great artistic choice. Oh, and let’s talk for a second about Gibralter. Here's this goofy and sweet beefcake who's gay and doesn’t have some sort of sad backstory about it. He’s not cuckolded and sad like Soldier 76, whose story echoes literally every Hollywood movie ever written about gay men that’s not called Moonlight, or if he is, we don’t know about it. That’s rad as h

Sure, having a battle royale experience at the palm of your hand feels great but then you actually get to see the game's graphics. Those who have experienced PUBG on the PC will surely find something wanting with the mobile version's visu

When deciding on what to cook or eat, one will sometimes consider the long term benefits of the meal for their overall health. It's the idea of if the person eating the dish is better for having had the dish, or if they should have spent their time and money elsewh

This can be detrimental to some since mobile games tend to feel cheap or bloated. You'll find none of that in the PC version nor in the console versions since they're not free. The console versions follow the PC closely both in gameplay and featu

It's free since it has to compete with other free derivatives on the mobile market, but it still comes with the full battle royale experience.
