First of all the game made Ultra Instinct Shaggy a reality, how can you not love it for that alone?

Ok, on to the real review.

MultiVersus is easily the most fun, polished and fairly balanced Smash alternative I've ever played. There is just so much depth and variety to the gameplay, it has all the platform based fighting game staples you can imagine alongside some new mechanics of its own to keep the gameplay fresh and I especially love the addition of classes and perks to the characters and how it adds an extra level of strategy to the battles.

Also the game is very friendly to free players and it is easy to earn rewards simply just by playing the game which will let you unlock new characters plus speaking of the characters the roster is fantastic with tons of iconic WB characters both new and old and to make matters even better most of them have their original/fan favorite voices like Kevin Conroy as Batman, George Newburn as Superman, Maisie Williams as Arya Stark or Matthew Lillard as Shaggy and I love how the characters all have fun unique interactions and conversations with each other during battle. WB certainly didn't skimp out on the budget and it shows in both the high production values and the smooth and fluid gameplay and animations.

Naturally this is still an open beta so there are some bugs and network issues plus limited content in terms of game modes and stages, but so far the game shows tons of promise and potential and I look forward to seeing where the devs take it from here because if it is updated properly it could be a strong Smash competitor especially since it already has better net-code than Smash and is crossplay across multiple consoles and PC.
