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.

The game itself is pretty ok if you only play quick match. The competitive is simply awful, you can literally go one match 51-2 and the other 3-11 so if you have a private team maybe you can climb rank but otherwise it's just lost time. My only regret is to have spent so much time in this game, literally brought me nothing good. Not even gonna say anything about the community because they don't deserve any mention. Anyway, a game to play 15 min to half a hour a week and that's it, other than this you're only get stressed out.

Complete **** 2 years playtime. The community just doesnt understand team-play and comp is ass. Not worth playing! Play a game that balances comp/rank and rewards fair play. This isn't it. Gredy developers reward toxicity

Extremely fun but very addicting. The matchmaking can feel very annoying at times but I keep playing it...

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.

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.

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.

Definitely better than and on a better path than Overwatch and Paladins. Has some crazy balance issues but overall the characters that we love are fantastic (Not Wanda, she **** and should be deleted) and even though domination ****, the map design is so much better than its rivals.

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 ****.

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.

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
