  Cool action platformer for fans about PewDiePie and his friends. Can recommend. My group and curator page - https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ahofgal

  MultiVersus is a WarnerBros skinned, Smash Bros. inspired, free-for-all fighting game. Unlike smash, we lose grabs, shields, and parries, but don't let its F2P status fool you - it's a competent fighter in its own right, with skill-based technical play that caters to casuals and pros alike. You can grind to unlock everyone from Batman to Rick & Morty to Shaggy to Lebron James (and rumored Ted Lasso??) in an increasingly unthinkable roster, all without paying a dime. Commercially, it's been a huge success - topping the charts on release and having already exceeded 20 million players in about a month, even peaking as the most played on Steam deck. This review was posted to participate in the Steam Awards 2022, nominated for the "Better with Friends" category. If someone told me a decade ago that we'd be seeing Batman fighting Bugs Bunny on PC, I'd have thought they were being cute. Leave it to the most bizarre year in recent memory to bring us a fever dream fighting game matchup that no one has pulled off before. The list is mind boggling: Seven Universe, Adventure Time, Justice League, Hanna Barbara, Game of Thrones(!?), Space Jam, Gremlins, Iron Giant, Rick and Morty, Looney Tunes. If rumors are to be believed, then we'll be receiving Static Shock, Mortal Kombat, Cartoon Network (Powerpuff / Johnny Bravo / Samurai Jack / Ben 10), Animaniacs, LOTR, Stranger Things (eleven, at least), Ted Lasso, Godzilla, Lego Movie, and Wizard of Oz. (And no, Breaking Bad is not in the game, though director Tony Huynh praised the fan mockup on twitter). Bonus points for getting every character voice lines, and their original VA's to reprise their roles. Somehow, the ambitious and eager Player First Games team accomplished the impossible, not just with the licensing agreements to grab everyone's attention, but the mechanics to keep us seated. Whether you play Smash Bros. for a living or have never touched a Nintendo console in your life, it speaks to all skill levels with simple controls, easy recoveries, and numerous mobility options to keep you in the ring even if you're taking a beating. That isn't to say that all characters play the same--far from it. The game divides its characters into the following classes: Bruiser - Offensive, frontline fighters. Balanced Tank - High damage but low mobility Support - Buffers and debuffers, low damage Assassin - Focus on combos, traps to juggle. Offset by low HP. Mage - High range projectiles, summons. Unusual movesets, difficult to master Like Smash, Versus is all about wailing on your opponent until they become light enough to knock off the stage. Matches take place in 1v1, 2v2, or 4P free for all, familiar to anyone who's played this genre. However, unlike Smash, Versus emphasizes 2v2 over anything else. This is because the character classes are designed to complement one another, and can be further focused by the use of unlockable perks. Notably, character grabs, ledge grabs, shields and parries are entirely absent, but are replaced by wall jumps, double jumps for all, and precise dodges to make enemy attacks whiff. Skills and dodges have stamina timers to prevent spam abuse. Perks are the bread and butter of competitive play, and deserve additional mention. They bolster a variety of focuses, like passive or conditional ability cooldown reduction, extra damage at low HP, knockback resistance, increase damage on hitstun, triple jump, or extra jump height. Unlocked perks can be purchased on other characters as well, which widens tactical possibilities and team synergies. The most interesting part? Perk stacking: If you and your teammate take the same perks, their effect is amplified. This is especially useful for support + tank character teams, for instance. Without a doubt, the game rewards you for exploring and experimenting with numerous builds, and this will be key to the game's longevity. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. From casual to pro, you can find people of all skill levels in this highly populated fighter. There's a growing competitive community behind it, if you want to take it to the next level, and is already geared to be a mainstay at EVO and other landmark events. The game has proven its worth by strong quarter earnings and a rapidly record-setting playerbase, and if the leaks hold true, still has a lot in store to show us. It's F2P friendly and the battlepass is purely cosmetic - but it will cost you, if you must have those comic accurate (or meme accurate) costumes / recolors. Beware Shaggy Blanco. Achievement Hunters: Very simple grind achievements. Play/win total games/modes, get ringouts (spike/projectile/doubles), make toasts. Most come with natural play. Unless you're speedrunning it, roughly 45 (+/-15) hours to 100%.

  My favorite part of the game is when Pewdiepie used the N word.
