I still remember the excitement and joy i felt when Overwatch first released, and a part of me hoped this might be a return to those days.. but sadly it isn't.
Rivals is a pretty well polished game, with a huge roster of characters and a very consumer friendly business model. But whether its my age or my burnout from Blizzard's bullsh*t, i just cant find the enthusiasm i used to have over these type's of games.
I'm giving this a thumbs up because its a great game, but for me i think my hero shooter days are over.

For everyone enjoying the game, i hope Netease treats you better than Blizzard did, and this game has a long and bright future.

Very easy to pick up and learn, and an excellent game for the Steam Deck.
The combat isn't as satisfying or addictive as some of the others in this genre but it still does a decent job.
The multiplayer is the worst part about this game. I don't know if its because of the low player count, but finding a match was often painfully slow. The only way i could get into a game was by adjusting my filters to cast a wide net, but then i would usually be playing a map i didn't want or a difficulty i wasn't ready for.

There's currently 3 maps and after finishing each one and trying the next tier of difficulty, i find myself already bored.
If they add more content in the future i may return, but 7 hours was more than enough for me.
