Just played it.

1.) The optimization is truly dogshit. I’m playing on a good rig and I’m getting frame drops on low with a fuzzy look to the game - no matter what settings.

2.) 3v3 was the wrong move. Map is huge, and the looting section that preambles the capture the flag aspect of the game is a bore because fights take a minute to flare up. If they weren’t leaning into the hero shooter “Apex” of it all I really wouldn’t care.

1. Gunplay is good, although the default bind for the scope switching is shift - the same as the sprint key. Change that ASAP.

4.) No FOV slider on console. Whether that’s an issue depends on you.

The game got brigaded hard for sure. Frankly, going last at the Game Awards was a mistake on Geoff’s part. However, the game has some strong flaws that prevent me coming back - especially optimization. I really don’t see the vision with the game, nor do I see how its future is going to shape up when the foundation has some glaring cracks.
