Former Blizzard head Mike Ybarra has lent his voice to the argument thatMarvel Rivalsis little more than a copy ofOverwatch 2. The two games are hero shooters, feature a large base of playable characters, and share some gameplay similarities.

This doesn’t look good I liked the idea ofLucius. Not enough games place children in the leading role, much less children who happen to be the devil’s offspring. But good games aren’t built on potential alone. In his review for Destructoid, Jim Sterlingdescribedthe title as “lacking in personality, visually ugly, harshly limited, and pieced together sloppily.” Despite its critical reception,Luciusdid well enough for Shiver Games to get started on a sequel....

Mushrooms inPEAKcome in different shapes and sizes, and it becomes important for you to distinguish the poisonous types from the harmless ones. You will find these items frequently along the SHORE, and they come in four types. Each type, however, has a poisonous variant (barring the one with a thick stalk if the players are to be believed, and I haven’t encountered one either).
