1000+ hours put into this game with lots of memories with lots of different friends. Best br game on the market if you ask me. The amount of creativity and freedom the game provides when it comes to movement, gunplay and character diversity puts the fun level through the roof. And now the addition of yet another new map, as well as crossplay that lets me play with even more of my buddies.. just makes it that much more of a complete package. I will say however, that I've since moved back to Origin since the steam version gave me fps issues at the time of this writing. But Apex continues to be a blast and I look forward to many more hot drops!

10/10

a masterpiece, 4 playthroughs later and i can firmly say its my new favorite game of all time

June '25 update: now that Ive just finished my 15th playthrough on the 4th platform, I thought I would circle back to this review and add some more thoughts.. I continue to revisit this world multiple times throughout the years and it continues to blow me away. Ive since had a handful of people pick it up and try it themselves, as well as booting up the coop mod with my girlfriend. It has really become my comfort game. The world, the music, the lore, the art, the many many builds that you can tinker with. It has entered the highest tier of games I will always label as lifetime favorites. Joining the likes of Diablo 2, Breath of the Wild and Final Fantasy 6. Ive played souls games since the original Demon's Souls on ps3 and I own every single one that has come out since.. and while the genre is surely one of my favorites.. Elden Ring is really at the pinnacle and gives me everything i want out of a video game. Souls like gameplay but with the freedom to tackle the game in any way I want. I have the Art books, the Lore books, the Collector's Strategy Guides. I have the soundtrack ready to go at any time. I find myself humming the battle music for the Night Cavalry and Radagon all the time. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is a great add on that I admittedly have only gone through once. Nightreign isnt exactly what I wanted it to be, but still have plans of picking it up sooner than later. Oh the things I'd do to be able to drop into The Lands Between for the very first time again. That was a 2 week whirlwind of video gaming zen. I really hope we get to go back to this world one more time, and I have high hopes for the upcoming film!
