Apex Legends vs Horizon Source
Apex Legends
Apex Legends is a first-person battle royale consisting of 20 teams of three. You’ll drop into the battlefield with two other players, loot weapons and items from the environment, and fight. You’ll have access to a variety of heroes, each with different skills and capabilities that cater to different playstyles.The gameplay is extremely fast-paced, comparable to Call of Duty’s multiplayer matches. Firefights are exciting affairs, especially since you’re mixing gunplay with special abilities. There’s also a tactical aspect since you might want to choose a character that blends well with those of your teammates.
So, to sum it all up, there are games that come out every once in a while and have the ability to change an entire genre or even the industry and Apex Legends is one of those games. It’s a refreshing entry to the concentrated battle royale genre, dominated by names like Fortnite and PUBG. Though it does not offer anything revolutionary, it touts solid and polished gameplay that is a mix of highly-regarded titles like Titanfall and Overwatch.
Horizon Source
Horizon Source is a battle royale game that many have dubbed as being the ultimate blend of PUBG, Fortnite and Overwatch... though graphics-wise, Fortnite is definitely the major influence. Similar to most games in the genre, you'll be dropped into a map where you'll then battle against other players in hopes of ending up being the last man standing. You can also build structures much like in Fortnite and resources are pretty much plentiful in the game. The gameplay feels a lot better as well - expect to be rewarded with more kills for having a good aim.However, unlike the others, this game only has a 4-man team-based game mode so you can't really play the game solo as of yet. There are other game modes as well, including a zombie mode, but these aren't ready so far. Interestingly, the game also gives you the option of playing in first or third person view. Naturally, playing in third-person can be more advantageous to you since you can see your surroundings better. There are no drivable vehicles in this game though.
Despite the many random bugs, lack of an EU server, some character balancing issue, and broken English, Horizon Source seems to be a real contender on PC against established battle royale titles like PUBG and Fortnite. The game can be incredibly addictive and fun to play. So, if you enjoy playing battle royale games, Horizon Source is a game you'll want to try!
