My Reaction

Shooters put your spatial awareness, reflexes and speed to the test, whether you’re playing alone or online against other people. In APB Reloaded the players are not joking around. Every firefight is tense and fast-paced from the first shot.

Overview

APB Reloaded is a free-to-play online third-person shooter set in the city of San Paro. Players pick a side as either Enforcers or Criminals and take on missions that pit them against each other in open-world firefights. Originally created by Realtime Worlds as APB: All Points Bulletin, it was relaunched as a free-to-play game under GamersFirst.

What I Liked

  • The matches are intense from start to finish.
  • Playing against real people keeps you sharp, testing your awareness, reflexes and speed.
  • The Enforcers versus Criminals setup gives every mission a clear goal.

What I Didn’t Like

  • The players take it seriously, so newcomers can have a rough time at first.

Verdict

APB Reloaded is a serious test of shooter skills. The competition is fierce and every firefight keeps you on edge. It is a cult game.
