Marvel Rivals review: it's like Overwatch, if Overwatch was overcomplex and frequented Comic Con
- Marvel Rivals is a free to play PVP release, with 33 heroes to choose from and split into categories.
- The game is impressively polished presentation-wise with lightning-quick matchmaking and single-player servers.
- The ability to Teamup with certain heroes can encourage you to adjust team composition in favour of what's a worse one.
- The vast hero pool and deep complexities make choice a doozy, a bit exaggerated by the complex MOBA-like skill set and mechanics.
- It offers a lot of choice for casual players, but can be too much choice for those who take competitive games seriously.
- The game can still be an accessible hero shooter for those who don't care about Competitive Stuff.
- The fact that the heroes are just regular-shaped people in costumes or small animals and hard to identify can make matches slightly formless and blended.
- It's an immense game with a wider audience, and if you're looking for The Next Competitive Timesink, it hit me that this probably isn't it.
- Marvel Rivals does offer something new to the table if only thanks to its Marvel skins and partnerships; for most people, it'll be an enjoyable experience.
- Overall, it's a messier, more complex Overwatch with over-intensive mechanics that is best suited to a more casual player.

Cybersecurity 2025 | Preparing for Tomorrow’s Threats, Challenges and Strategic Shifts
- Collective security failures are currently permitted, incentivized, and sometimes even rewarded by our current paradigm, reconfiguration that has to include a shift in private sector mentality towards information sharing.
- The culture of cybercrime and extortion isn’t what it was. A new generation of actors within this culture are proving to be the driving force behind many of the most damaging attacks.
- The meteoric rise of AI in the tech community brought virtually every cybersecurity company and political entity into AI fact-finding and potential outcomes.
- Threat actors will increasingly focus on exploiting technologies that are both ubiquitous and poorly secured, allowing them to evade detection and operate with relative impunity.
- As encrypted services gain mainstream acceptance, they will also attract heightened attention from cybercriminals and nation-state actors.
- There are now more organized ransomware operations than ever before.
- Securing credentials, implementing robust recovery plans and educating employees about emerging attack vectors is important to strengthen defense against ransomware and data theft.
- Businesses need help to get cybersecurity right, and the path forward requires strong leadership, decisive action and a willingness to embrace change.
