    Marvel Rivals is a stellar multiplayer game that has plenty of potential in the years ahead. It sounds like it has a great content plan, as the game just added the Invisible Woman and Mr. Fantastic into the game a month into the game's launch. When you keep that in mind alongside the stellar gameplay and team-based mechanics, Marvel Rivals is likely to stay for many years ahead.

    Marvel Rivals has come out of the gate swinging, delivering a fresh blast of adrenaline to the hero shooter genre.

    Neither the MCU nor the hero shooter genre are at the glorious heights experienced by both in the past decade, but that isn’t stopping Marvel Rivals from doing everything it can to be a success story today. Approachable, yet with a high skill ceiling to reach for, it's consistently a great time no matter which fan-favourite comic book character and accompanying skillset is at your fingertips. It may be following closely in the slipstream of the hero shooters that have come before it, but by doing so Rivals has firmly placed itself in a strong position to take the crown for itself.

    A hero shooter's first week is vital to a live service game's success, and Marvel Rivals has made a strong impression for many good reasons. While the game's story lacks the presentation the brand is worthy of, its diverse gameplay with beloved characters and new mechanics have set a high bar for the hero shooter genre. No matter what type of character players enjoy using in multiplayer shooters, Marvel Rivals has a hero or villain for everyone, and with time, it can get better.

    Marvel Rivals is a refreshing breeze in a genre that had lately sunk into the mud. Featuring beloved superheroes in a frenetic shooter, it’s a dream come true for many fans. The gameplay flows smoothly, and it’s engaging enough that even unbalanced characters or a smaller number of maps and modifications don’t hold it back. While there’s room for improvement, if you’re a fan of the hero shooter genre, there’s currently nothing better on the market.

    Marvel Rivals is one of the more fun team-based online multiplayer games that you can play right now and with its simple gameplay and mostly straightforward unlocks, it really is a breath of fresh air. Plus, Squirrel Girl's tail is so bushy that it makes me one happy bear.

    A live service game with the superpower of longevity, assuming it can maintain the balance between being a casual and competitive online shooter.
