It's undeniable to say that Marvel Rivals beat every odd stacked against it, and that's purely based on merit alone. It's a fun team-based shooter with new and old ideas featured prominently throughout its 33-character roster that kept me wanting for more.
Even if you have never cared for hero shooters, I urge you to give this one a try. It's free-to-play, and if you have any love for superhero properties you'll find a character you love among this motley bunch. It is certainly inspired by games that came before, but its fast, frenetic pace and secret strategic weight make it something completely different. Like a sidekick growing into his mentor's mantle, this one is ready to fight crime in the mean streets of Marvel Manhattan.
Marvel Rivals takes on the bold challenge of building upon the foundation laid by Overwatch and adding its own unique spin--and it largely succeeds. With solid overall quality, accessible mechanics, and a wealth of content, the game feels primed for long-term success and has already captured the attention of a massive audience. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its strong design and engaging gameplay. However, hero balancing remains a noticeable issue that will require ongoing fine-tuning--something that won't be resolved in just a few patches.

There are problems with rating selection, sometimes cheaters don’t ban them, and now the game has descended more into the position of the same ow there are a lot of problems with balance and the developers don’t want to admit it.

Butter oil. The game and animation are terrible, there is no balance between character classes, and there are so few of them that they nerf and break it. It's just a game where there is no teamwork, only good timing at the start of the game. If you catch it, the game will go well. The trailer shows one thing, but the game shows another. Characters constantly hit walls, get stuck, there is no freedom of movement, and there is also a skill rollback. Why is it there if it just breaks most situational battles? Or do you make default abilities so that you can fight back? The skill rollback is too exaggerated for a game with dynamic battles and quick decision-making. I do not recommend the game because the developers did not think through its mechanics properly.

Marvel Rivals is a rare example of a live service launch done right. Some aspects might feel more derivative, but the promise of future content that'll build on what's already a solid foundation is proof that Marvel Rivals is here to stay.

Peak Rivals, es una joyita, literal ok su emparejamiento es horrible si, pero luego de eso literal es uno de los pocos juegos que consienten bien a sus jugadores, casi todas las skins que tengo son gratis, ahi si quieren a su comunidad no como otros.

One free game leads to another, Marvel heroes and villains are welcome if the goal is simply to have fun. Between questionable balance and general lack of originality, some will turn up their noses, but how fun is Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals is not a perfect game, it does not bring novelty and innovation to the playing field. It's just a clever use of branding, and it's fun to play as your favourite characters.

NetEase's spin on the hero battler is complex and moreish, but rarely much actual fun. Its biggest impact is a renewed appreciation for the rivals that do it better.

This game is just great at the moment. No overpriced stuff, no gambling and deffs actually listen to the community. Its fun to play and not pay to win.

Marvel Rivals Team FPS - Is it great? Maybe. Is it fun? Yes. Does it have room for improvement? Also, Yes. Is it a Micro-transaction game? Again, Yes (and no). Overall this is an absolute resource hog and takes up WAY too much drive space but the library of characters and skins is expansive! Fun and Free but if you want loot of almost any kind - you will eventually pony up a $1 (or maybe $100). Careful what you get **** into because this game is addictive but the player base can ****.

For the context, i have 1000 hours on this game. The positive: - The game is alive, there is update and balance every weeks, i really love the univers, the maps, hero shooters in general so i really still enjoy the game and i have fun on it. - The negative: The ranked matchmaking is really bad, i was watching my Marvel rivals tracker and when you are about to promote for a rank up, you get troll, afk or dps you never saw in your life with 0/5 and quitting.... it happened to me more than 5 times a season. The game really do everything to make frustration to you. I don't even know if reports do something in this game, i never saw anyone got banned for bad behaviour (except obvious cheaters) I can talk about the balance but it's every competitive games like that.

Stop playing it and go back to overwatch.They will then be forced to fix the game. Quick play is clearly unplayable. Then it just common sense that this game can’t be balanced if u drop 2 characters every season.What there method is to just keep putting out new hero’s so that u are excited for the new drop you forget how bad it is. Think about when has marvel ever had a good game. Never. Make them do better they have the money for it. Thsu don’t even care they just going to keep dropping hero’s until ppl about 2 years later finally stop playing and then watch them fix the game. Stop playing and it’ll happen faster
