It's not enough to ruin the hangout, but it does leave awkward air. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 14 h played34874« good game but if you don't have a government funded super computer expect to not get even 30 fps »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 1 h played19421« people are saying it runs poorly but i run at very very playable frame rates on the highest graphics settings with FSR at native AA and from what i can tell i have about average pc specs. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 1 h played16311« Todays patch fixed all my problems.

« Matchmaking inexistant. Prendre la fessée en boucle par des smurfs au niveau bronze zéro, non merci »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 4 h played3« Sony, you want to be part of PC gaming market, then don't think you can run it like PSN. Your mandatory region locks, restrictions, logins, accounts...etc are not welcome here. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 64 h played19331167« I'd love to say this is an amazing Marvel game, but it does not work on my $2,200 Steam Machine, or anything Linux for that matter, so as sad as I am about doing it, I'm giving this game a negative review. Please, support SteamOS at least. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 0 h played845266« Even after the update on 8/11 it still does NOT run consistently on PC. Certain stages are super laggy even offline. Its still struggling to hold 60 fps and online is worse. I wouldn't recommend a purchase until they address these issues. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 20 h played6322« Just wait until your favourite fighting game streamer talks about how the cracked version of this game runs better than the official ones. Things obviously aren't being addressed as they should be. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 60 h played20541« Linux users do this to themselves lmao »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 8 h played11

Si les créateurs YouTube affichent un optimisme unanime concernant les graphismes et le gameplay de MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, les joueurs Steam se montrent beaucoup plus nuancés. En effet, alors que la communauté salue également les mécaniques de combat, elle exprime une forte contestation sur la performance et le multijoueur, des aspects largement épargnés dans les retours vidéo. Il convient toutefois de rappeler que le faible échantillon de vidéos traduit davantage une tendance qu'une vérité statistique.
