MultiVersus has snuck up the inside track to nestle in as one of my favourite games of the year. It’s extremely early days, of course. I liked it enough during the closed beta, but the open beta has fully got its claws in me. It’s only been a couple of days, and the open beta doesn’t even fully open for another week because video games are silly sometimes, but MultiVersus has my attention. Stray was one of my most anticipated titles of the year, and I’ve carved out enough time to get about halfway through it, but it’s MultiVersus that keeps pulling me back in. My interest could fade away, but I’m not expecting it to. After the disaster of Nick Brawl, MultiVersus feels like a breath of fresh air, and a huge part of what’s keeping me invested is Velma Dinkley.
