> PIPELINE SUMMARY CONNECTED...
Marvel TΕkon: Fighting Souls is a glorious, hyper-polished anime fighter trapped in a Sony-branded dumpster fire. The community consensus is split down the middle: one camp is mainlining pure copium over the incredible character depth, buttery-smooth gameplay on their beefy rigs, and the return of Mahvel, while the other camp is screaming into the void about catastrophic CPU usage, forced PSN logins, and the game being completely dead on Linux/Steam Deck. It's a 9/10 fighting game wrapped in a 4/10 PC port, with Sony's grubby paws strangling the launch and turning a potential masterpiece into a review-bombing battleground.

[ TRACK 1: STEAM PLAYER REVIEWS ]
β₯ GAMEPLAY & PERFORMANCE PROS:
- β The game is a love letter to tag fighters, with an insane amount of character depth and unique mechanics that reward lab time.
- β Accessible as hell - easy inputs and auto combos let casuals button-mash, but there's enough tech to keep FGC veterans grinding for years.
- β Roster is absolute fire, from Hulk to Deadpool, with every character feeling distinct and faithful to their comic counterparts.
- β Single-player content is surprisingly robust, with an episode mode and a roguelike-ish mode that actually gives you bang for your buck.
β PERFORMANCE & STABILITY CONS:
- πCPU usage is a goddamn nightmare - Sony's SDK and EAC are chewing up cores like a starving hyena, leaving players with 45 FPS on rigs that run Tekken 8 flawlessly.
- πLinux and Steam Deck players are completely locked out - no Proton, no EAC support, just a big middle finger at the splash screen.
- πForced PSN account linking is back with a vengeance, blocking over 100 countries and adding pointless friction to a PC game.
- πNetcode is a rollback roulette - 8 frames of rollback on '4-5 bar' connections, making online matches feel like fighting through molasses.
[ TRACK 2: COMMUNITY HUB & METAGAME DRAMA ]
β₯ COMMUNITY MEMES & LORE HIGHLIGHTS:
- β The review bomb is real - Linux users are out for blood, and they're bringing receipts (Valve's own EAC Proton support article) to the funeral.
- β Sony is the new EA - players are literally saying 'Genuinely β₯β₯β₯β₯ Sony' and 'Play Has Limits' is the new tagline.
- β The 'I run it fine on my rig' vs 'I can't even launch it' civil war is tearing the Steam forums apart, with everyone flexing their specs like it's a dick measuring contest.
- β Deadpool is apparently so obnoxious he's become a meme himself - the character was literally 'designed in a lab' to be the most hated zoner in the game.
β DEVELOPER DRAMA & GRIPES:
- πArcSys promised to fix the beta's performance issues and delivered a 'fix' that's barely a band-aid - players are calling them out for lying through their teeth.
- πSony is the scapegoat of the year - they're forcing kernel-level anti-cheat, PSN logins, and region locks, and the community is blaming them for ruining a good game.
- πThe community manager's response to Linux support requests ('like requesting a different platform like the Switch') has become a rallying cry for the boycott.
- πPlayers are already planning to refund and 'play the cracked version' out of spite, which is peak 2026 energy.
