Apex Legends

Apex Legends combines two great ideas into one. It offers players the classic battle royale mode and also allows them to contest in battle royale matches with their favorite legends having special abilities and powers. 

Players can choose any legend of their choice from a growing roster of 19 Legends. 

The game offers two modes of play, one is of course battle royale and the other one is arena mode. A total of 60 players contest in a single match of battle royale in teams of twos or threes. There will be 30 teams if you’re playing in duos and 20 teams if you’re playing in trios. 

In the Arena mode, two teams of three players compete against each other in a round-based match. A team wins the match if it wins three rounds and the enemy team wins just one OR a team wins the match by winning 3 or more rounds with a difference of 2 rounds. The match progresses to sudden death mode if there is a 4-4 tie.

Apex Legends is a must-try game if you are an admirer of Overwatch.

Paladins

Paladins is like Overwatch in so many ways, some people say that it is just another copy of Overwatch. While Overwatch takes place on Earth only at some point in the future, Paladins takes place in another world where you can find much more diversity in its characters.

Paladins offer 3 modes of play – Team Deathmatch, Onslaught, and Seige. You have to choose from a list of 46 champions.
