Great, striking art style.

Maps are generally fun. The ability to destroying certain walls and constructions is an amazing flavor and also gameplay changing (the buildings to auto repair after a certain time).

Character balance is subjective. But nothing feels obviously egregious at the time. There are some clear pubstompers like Iron Fist however. Who knows what future balance patches and characters will do?

All characters are free forever. Big W.

A lot of love and details has been put into the game. Things like each character having their own signature on their logo (Moon Knight lets all 3 of his personalities write their signature, Groot draws a smiley face since he can't write or read, Black Panther writes in Wakandian etc.)

The battle pass is like in Helldivers 2 where you can "complete it whenever without time restraints". Aka the healthiest type of battlepass. This seems to be the main revenue source other than skins. But they're fairly cheap at 5 bucks at the time and gives you some carrot to do your daily quests (Which are really simple and general so you wont' be pigeon holed too much).

All skins so far are references to previous iterations of the characters. Even having a quote from the source they came from showing where they originate. There are a few 'original' skins that first arrived with Marvel Rivals (So far the only one I'm aware of is one of Captain America's skins). The skins are definitely pricey but honestly a lot of them has some pretty good details/difference from the default ones (recolors DO exist).

And it's free to play, by the way.

My biggest concern is this all seems way, way too good to be true. When will the catch happen? This feels like how games were made in the 2000-2010 era. Just a solid, fun product right off the bat.

Anyways, welcome back Overwatch. You're finally fun again.
