Can't trust the reviews
Everyone is a Marvel fan these days, so I would prefer someone who doesn't care for Marvel to tell me if the game is good as a PVP game.

Thanks.

Comparing to similar games:
1. Paladins have way better versatility (character builds and ingame items), beeter character design, but awful game maps and visuals.
2. Overwatch 1,2 game characters have better character game design. Here we have useless abilities and very bad ability "synergy" - one ability skillsets in characters do not fit to each other.

Game maps are the thing that is very interesting here. Seems that developers hired very good level designer. The point is that levels during the game are changing by some script. Some walls do appear, some others dissapear. Very unusual to be honest but it's cool game mechanics. Also some walls can be destroyed by shooting.

Matchmaking system just sucks. It means that ranking system is not working at all (as it is in majority of games). This is the only explanation why teams are made very unbalanced.

Idc. One thing for sure imbalance, optimization and controller player. 3 most unholy trio of gaming.

They tried so hard not to copy overwatch that they made some very strange choices.

The gave the sniper a sprint ability, so she has no way to get to some high grounds unless there are stairs.

Instead they gave the soldier the grappling ability to get to high ground.

Storm has an AOE speed boost ability like Lucio, except Lucio can heal himself and has lots of mobility, so it doesn't make sense for storm to enable diving.

Seems kind of odd to say you don't trust reviews and then ask for reviews.

Don't trust any mainstream game media reviews. They're usually paid ads. I suggest following youtubers and other minor game reviewers instead. Gameranx is awesome if you want actual honest gameplay commentary without paid advertisement.

It's very jank and the netcode is awful. Hit registry is wierd and a lot of maps are favored towards attackers since your "over the shoulder view" is over your right shoulder making peeking with this third person camera dangerous for snipers on the defender side. The game runs awful.
The game has decent animations/vfx.
I'd say its a 5 or a 6 hero shooter.
The "ULT'S" in the game just seem to be all generic AOE damage nothing burgers.
It's a bunch of console fans who've never played overwatch playing the game and upvoting because the current state is very unplayable.
Horrible NETcode.
Horrible optimization.
Forced TAA (which causes blurriness at best and ghosting)
horrible Input lag to fix the forced TAA/Bad framerate so the game feels like playing on around 300-400ms even with under 60ms.
hope this is what you wanted.
:)
I havent played overwatch since season 1-3 in ow1 and I was top 500.
I thinK i knew a stinker when i see and play one.
This is ok.
It's not bad. Its not great.
Its Ok.
You'll get some fun out of it with your friends and hopefully you got a NASA PC and can Limit the FPS so it stops going up/down 100 fps every fight and is more stable

Non-Marvel-Nerd-Reviews. Sorry if that wasn't obvious for you.

it is a fun game and the game really takes advantage of the MCU/comic material. I like the art and the dialogue. The powers are also decently designed. I particularly like the story and the stylized approach

You will get a lot of toxicity/sweaty palm moment from ranked games but thats the nature of 6v6 pvp games.

They already got a decent sized roster and they are planning to add more heroes. it got potentials for sure

i only know venom and spider man and some known heroes so am not a marvel fan and the game is fun like i knew all the heroes and the villains from the game and i feel like i want to watch marvel series now lol

Well, I got the answer. Thanks.
