Honestly, my thoughts remain largely unchanged which is a good thing!

So, what does the MultiVersus open beta actually have to offer?

Just enough, I reckon.

Two teams of two face-off in MultiVersus.

I jest, though, as the game isn’t completely bogged down by the necessary evils of free-to-play.

But in a game that’s as chaotic as MultiVersus, critical information gets lost in the noise.

Free-to-play licensed brawler MultiVersus goes into open beta on July 26th, 2022.

Everything comes back to the unavoidable Smash Bros comparison.

Yet, Smash Bros has a barrier to entry.

And despite my misgivings, it still has a level of polish that surpasses any free-to-play Smash-likes.
