Review: Marvel Snap

Review: Marvel Snap

Free-to-play games have never appealed much to me. Too often they are saddled with mechanics that are reminiscent of old-school arcades; they are designed to suck money from you at a very specific cadence. Sure, there have been examples in my life, and often, the ones I like I have put money into, especially if they eschew “Pay to win” mechanics. For instance, I think I put about 400 dollars into the now-shutdown Marvel Heroes because it was a fun Diablo-style game, with lots of very nice-looking costumes. I am willing to pay for cosmetics generally, not an in-game advantage. I guess Marvel has some sort of rent-free space in my head, because the newest free-to-play game that has been taking up a lot of my time is once again owned by that infernal mouse, and that game is Marvel Snap.

This thing started as a review be the more I typed, the harder it got to dance around the things that make Daniel Mullins’ latest card-based adventure so cool. Sure the card mechanics play a big part; I’m a sucker for a good card game, but more than that, it’s the weird story being told and the mysterious way it unfolds that make it this year’s must-play game.
