The verdict
APB Reloaded is a dated, nearly empty free-to-play cops-and-robbers shooter with unmatched customization. New players get crushed by veterans, cheaters and P2W guns, so skip it unless you're nostalgic or have friends.
Great for
Nostalgic veterans and creative types who love deep customization, ideally playing with friends
Main risk
As a newcomer you get matched against veterans, cheaters and P2W guns in a tiny player pool
What players love
