Evgenii "Gufis" Kondratev Marvel Rivals game, which many are calling the "Overwatch killer," has officially launched and showed impressive numbers on Steam. In its first day, the peak online player count surpassed 444,000 — comparable to the population of Miami in sunny Florida.

As for the reception of Marvel Rivals by players, it has garnered a "mostly positive" rating on Steam based on over 13,000 reviews (75% recommend it).
The main complaint is optimization. On graphics cards like the Nvidia GeForce 3050, the game can suffer significant drops in FPS. However, many users agree that Marvel Rivals is genuinely fun to play, without taking a toll on their time or wallet.
It's also worth noting that Marvel Rivals has a more user-friendly monetization system. The key is that battle passes won’t have an expiration date. If you buy one, you’re not pressured to grind it out like it's a second job. This single factor might be crucial in shaping how players perceive this shooter.
Some reviews are "burying" Overwatch, while others remind that Overwatch has long buried itself. If Marvel Rivals keeps up this momentum, it will be interesting to see how Blizzard responds.
