What game?
Marvel Rivals. I haven't played it yet, but I keep hearing good things.
It does a good job of onboarding people. The general tutorial is relatively short and sweet, and character specific tutorials are even shorter. It also gives each character a rank (in stars) for how complex that character is to use effectively.
The game itself is pretty chaotic, so it's easy to convince yourself that your deaths are incidental, and your victories are a result of you playing well. And as long as you're having fun you'll be okay with that. But if at any point you start feeling like someone has your foil, just change characters mid-match and try a new tactic. There's so many characters you can experiment until you find theirs.
I'm genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
Game just added to my wishlist due to this "asset"...
It actually is pretty fun. I can see this quickly going sour, but currently it is a much better game than Overwatch. No idea what the future holds, but hopefully NetEase can pull through. I loved Super Mecha Champions (2021-2025 RIP, you were gone too soon- Alborada my beloved), so hopefully they keep things going and don't end this one like some of their other ones (DBD Mobile, for example).
I do not care at all about any Marvel stuff and don’t know many chars but my friend who does wanted to play. I gotta say… it’s a BLAST. I like that I can be a furry.
