I really wanted to give this game a positive review, but unfortunately, I can’t. Out of all the hero shooters I’ve played (Paladins, Overwatch, etc.), this is by far the weakest experience overall.

To be clear, the gameplay itself isn’t the problem — in fact, it’s actually quite satisfying. The heroes have well-developed mechanics, appealing designs, and a solid counter-pick system. The maps are well-made, with destructible walls that add some tactical variety. After a few hours of testing different characters, you’ll almost certainly find one that fits your preferred playstyle.

On paper, Marvel Rivals should be a great game. In practice, however, it falls apart — and here’s why:

Optimization Issues
The game’s performance is poor. Unless you install it on an SSD, you can forget about loading into matches on time. This often means you’ll join late, putting your team at an immediate disadvantage and possibly losing the chance to pick your favorite hero. FPS drops happen frequently, often during crucial moments, and while crashes have become less frequent, they still occur. The game feels “heavy,” with massive updates and painfully slow shader compilation. My PC isn’t top-of-the-line, but I can run Overwatch in 1080p at 144 FPS on high settings, while Marvel Rivals struggles to hit 60 FPS on low, with occasional freezes and drops.

Matchmaking Problems
This is where the game completely loses me. I won’t get into technical specifics like some other reviews — I’ll just say how it feels. The matchmaking system is wildly unbalanced. Most matches are one-sided stomps — either you dominate, or you get steamrolled. This happens in both Quick Play and Competitive.

In Competitive, it’s infuriating. It doesn’t seem to matter what your actual skill or rank is — it feels like the system decides the outcome before the match even begins. If the game “wants” you to lose, you’ll be paired with beginners who have no idea how to play, making it impossible to win no matter how well you perform. It’s as if the system is forcing a 50/50 win-loss ratio, which completely kills any sense of progress or personal improvement.

Quick Play Isn’t Much Better
In Quick Play, losing streaks often lead to the game putting you against bots for an “easy win.” I suppose it’s meant as a form of compensation, but in reality, it feels like a waste of time and almost like a punishment. There’s no option to disable this, which only makes it worse.

Other Frustrations
Toxic player behavior is another problem. You’ll encounter players who leave on purpose, teammates who ban your main hero “for fun,” or people who only start moving from spawn long after the match has begun. These behaviors ruin the match experience and go largely unchecked.

Final Thoughts
Marvel Rivals could have been a great game. Technically, it has a solid foundation with fun gameplay, interesting heroes, and well-designed maps. But between the poor optimization, frustrating matchmaking system, and the feeling that your individual skill barely matters, the game ends up being more frustrating than fun.

I’ve given up on Competitive entirely and now stick to Quick Play — but even there, the problems remain. Until matchmaking and performance are seriously addressed, I can’t recommend it.

Świetny battle royale z ładną grafiką ^^

It's a game about dying a lot. Seriously.

Caves... avoid caves at any cost!

Good game.

Maybe 80 hours behind the wheel is not much comparing to drivers who spent over 2000 hours in the game but it's enough to get know the game pretty good. In real life the truck driver job is one of the most stresfull in the world but in the game you can forget about the responsibility for your truck and trailer (at least in singleplayer). The biggest adventage of the game is the fact it's very relaxing. While admiring the landscape with radio on the headset you can ponder the life existence or have a nice conversation with friend on the other side of the world about religion and politics. Probably the best experience is when you play singleplayer. I say "probably" because I spent most of time playing multiplayer with other real drivers. What makes me think so? Multiplayer is more challenging but you can forget about safety. While AI drive mostly carefully, a major part of other players drive fast and don't care about lights, speed limits and other drivers. Of course admins try their best and ban roadhogs but after truck accident and received damage you can say "bye bye" to your salary. If you think that Russian drivers are the worst, ETS2 will change you mind. Turks are actually the worst. You may drive slowly on your traffic lane and get rammed by one of them driving from the opposite direction and in response hear in Pidgin English "what are you doin? what are you doin?!". Damaged trailer hursts the most after more than an hour of constant driving but in multiplayer it's something you have to get used to. Just avoid Calais and Turks and you will be ok. In multiplayer you speed up the game because after hiring first driver in your company, they will earn money constantly, even when you are offline. Avoid Calais.

I even don't rememeber when I bought the game but I got it from the Humble Bundle probably. I finished it in company of my friend Asoger. Looking for some coop game I pointed at Zeno Clash 2, knowing only that coop is available. He asked me:

Well, I didn't.

Technically it's just another FPP game taking place in not too open world. In fact you get into crazy surreal world of the weirdest ♥♥♥♥ you have ever seen. Surreal because it's right out of Salvador Dali's paintings and whole game is nothing but a long trip. Stone hands sticking out of the ground, sculptures with abnormal proportions, mutated characters, ridiculus plants, funny animals... everything around you is just from another world. During the fight sometimes you just turn your head to admire the beautiful landscape (what is a wrong thing because next you get punched in your face).

In the game you bring pain and defend your ugly face mostly with your own fists. When you finally manage to knock down your enemy you can kick his butt till he gives up the ghost. Then you can push his corpse into chasm. Surprisingly it doesn't get boring. Of course in the game there is a rage-bar which let you punch with both fists simultaneously or dash with your elbow towards enemy potato-like face but you miss every second hit like that (instead of filling your rage bar it empties it). In the game you can find a bunch of different weapons, both melee and "guns". Melee weapons are mostly prehistoric looking warhammers which break down after few hits when guns are made of random scrap, teeth, rugs and God himself knows what else. You can use your gun as melee weapon too. Of course it breaks down after few hits. If you find a skull you can use it as a hand grenade, because in some case it explodes.

So, except few characters which really seem to look like humans others definitely are not them. I don't remember their names and I'm happy with that. Ok, except Motherfu... FatherMother. Simply, characters in most cases are a mixture of humans and animals and look creepy. There are also golems which look quite normal and even friendly (until first fight). You will have nightmares after you meet the painter. Moths!

+ Surreal world which blows your mind up
+ Lots of punching and kicking
+ Trip simulator
+ Kah-Tex's voice

- Nightmares after meeting the painter ;_;

Nie to co kiedyś..

It's free! It's awesome! It's medieval warfare!

To be honest - before I downloaded AOC, I had played payable "Chivalry" during free weekend. When it finished, I was delighted to find free mod of it! I would like to buy normal game but... as long as there are people who are playing AOC, I don't find it necessary.

This game, as you see, brings us to the Middle Ages where in team as an archer, guardsman or knight we are fighting to complete objectives. Game is simple - kill and don't get killed, but with what fun! I find this kind of PVP more exciting than typical shooter. In this game where you fight mostly melee, a satisfaction for killing someone who almost cut off your head is big! (even if someone really did it few moments later). Every map has got it's own scenario so it's not blind killing each other and depending of the team level every battle can be a challenge.

I recommend this game to everyone who likes medieval battles with swords, halberds and bows! It's totally free, there are a lot of achievements and this ambience...

Low your visor and fight!

You think "WTF, "Thomas was alone" and there are some squares in different colors. It has to be a next boring puzzle game". If you think so - you are wrong. Ok, it's definitely a puzzle game but one of a kind.

It's more like a story than a game. In this puzzle-platform game you control one or more different geometric shapes and the point is to move them to thier destination. Simple? Not really. Every shape has got its own skills. One can jump higher than others, one can swim, one is like a trampoline what help them to pass the level. Yep, they help each other...like people. Sometimes... That's what I find the best in the game - every shape has got it's own name and while playing we can listen to narrator who is talking about what every of them feels (happieness, sorrow, love) and think about other shapes. It adds to game something new and special, something that we can find only there.

The game itself isn't difficult and it's easy to unlock all achievements so if You have a a free time in the evening - you should play Thomas Was Alone.

Btw. Isn't the narrator a Whitley from Portal?
