When Marvel Heroes, the free-to-play MMO from the creator of Diablo 1 & 2, released a few years ago, pretty much everyone wrote it off straight away. And rightfully so: it was a shallow, nickel-and-diming experience that gated off your favourite characters and all the best gear behind excessive paywalls.

Thankfully, the devs have since listened to fan feedback, and the MMO has made a complete turnaround to actually become a pretty great title that rivals the likes of DC Universe Online.

With the 2016 edition of the game specifically, the team has revamped almost everything about the core experience, introducing new story chapters, improving combat and updating the character models to make general production values feel more in line with other titles on the market.

So forget what you might have heard about Marvel Heroes in years gone by, because Marvel Heroes 2016 is a completely different beast to everything that came before - finally being worth your time.
