    I’ve had more fun in the last 2 weeks I’ve been playing Rivals than the entirety I’ve played Overwatch 2. The game just wants to seem more focused on being fun rather than competitive.

      Are you a Marvel fan in general? As someone who couldn’t care less about Marvel heroes, I played Rivals for a bit, and while it was entertaining, I would rather just go play Overwatch.

        I’m with you on this. Marvel Rivals feels off/ cheap in a way I don’t really know how to articulate.

          Some of the animations are definitely janky (looking at you, Punisher jumping off your lil zip line), the visual clarity is worse than OW (although maybe that’s just a symptom of how much I’ve played OW vs. MR), and it just has a bit less polish than OW.

          That being said, there’s something about MR that feels nostalgic, like early OW1, and I’ve been having a blast with it. Shorter match and queue times are certainly a big factor too.

      100%. I’ve played OW since the OW1 launch date. Stopped playing the day Rivals was released.
