GameGrinArtura DawnJan 202510/10It'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.

Game RantDalton CooperDec 20249/10Marvel Rivals' deep roster of 33 characters keeps battles fresh and exciting, with enough variety here that I don't know if I'll ever get bored, especially if the new characters and maps come at a regular pace.

EurogamerChris TapsellDec 20242/5NetEase'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.

GamesRadar+Josh BroadwellDec 20242.5/5 starsMarvel Rivals wants to reinvent the hero shooter genre with its complex characters and special synergies, but it's so preoccupied with trying to be like Overwatch that it forgets to play to its own strengths. Its oversized roster also needs more balacing – and more differentiation from Blizzard's stable of heroes.
