MultiVersus Review

MultiVersus reviewed by John Carson on PC, also available on PlayStation and Xbox.

MultiVersus is an entertaining and deep platform fighter, but everything outside of simply jumping into a match as one of the eclectic characters in its cast is tedious. It’s worth coming back to experiment with things like Iron Giant’s perk build for team play or learning how to use a new character like Banana Guard to its fullest, but it would be easier to be glued to this game if there were more opportunities to earn memorable variant skins or provide a challenge in increasingly tough PvE battles. Instead, MultiVersus offers days of grinding to earn the opportunity to grind more to attain its most enticing rewards, whether that’s the chance to play as an upcoming character sooner or to swag out your favorite fighter. While it’s a huge boon that the actual fighting is solid and worth the time to dig into, it’s going to take an injection of more fun objectives to complete and more fruitful rewards to make it worth returning to over and over again.

There is a reason why Smash Bros stands out. People were calling this the Smash killer and completely ignored the fact that this game was made by WB.

*_Give us PlayStation AllStars Battle Royale 2!_*

Yet we get 10 xp for matches to the battle pass lmao. That’s 10 hours of winning every game for a single level. The Xbox connection issues is the worst then any game ever made. This isn’t an over exaggeration. It is actually true

[INFCTR]

U guessed it. IGN gave the game a lucky number "7"

[Kaits]

"One of the best feeling platform fighters out there" Ain't no way...

[tkghhhhh]

What's the tge difference between this and the one from some years ago??

[TheGodlyGamerMugen]

This game will get better and better people are just tryna hype it down has more consistent player base than any other fighting game currently including tekken 8

It would be a pretty fun game if exp was bumped way up, been playing everyday since release and I’m level 14 (four of those levels came from bullying a random in pvp game for weeklies, not kidding 6-0 best of three matches and it got be a bunch of the “play pvp matches” rewards)

[SALTYTOAD]

A 7, as per usual. At least this time, it makes some sense.

What was the whole point of going offline for a year? Game feels terrible, they killed Velma, iron giant and others smh they trolling us.

[theosmith]

In my opinion it did not deserve the best fighter award in 2022

[NicholasSilveira]

IGN originally rated Arkane's PREY a 4/10... It's great to know this game will be almost twice as fun!

[hermanmurry]

How soon til yakko wakko and dot become playable like the ice climbers

[AzazelSweg]

A 7 is straight cap this game is a 4 in its current state

[stAid]

It's impressive how quickly the video became wrong. Almost everyone who has ever touched another fighting game can tell you this is not one of the best feeling ones.

[jinpei]

Didn't Iron Giant get removed from the game for being OP?

[shrineguard]

The company that cancelled a movie release to get a tax write off and bump its profits released a complex, confusing game full of currencies and microtransactions. Colour me surprised...

[AdriftLegend]

MultiVersus is just a WB Smash clone for babies.

[tacticoolnoob]

Just watching the game in general looks unappealing, doesn’t make sense for most people when a fighting game feels slow. That’s why people still play Nintendos Smash
