"Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game is an excellent choice for fans of Marvel comics who want to try out an RPG or Dungeons & Dragons fans who want to move onto a system that’s different while still having familiar elements." - Forbes.com

"For those interested in exploring the TTRPG genre, Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game is simple yet entertaining, making it great for newcomers." - CBR

“The long-debated question of which game newcomers to the world of tabletop role-playing games should start with has a remarkably definitive answer in the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game.” - CBR

"TTRPG fans who love comics, or the Marvel Cinematic Universe can use this book to create the campaign of their dreams: there’s enough meat to satisfy even the most seasoned player, and the rules are flexible enough that even the most zany ideas are possible. To you, I’d recommend picking it up.
 
"For comic fans who’ve never even heard of an RPG before, and might be a little intimidated, the rules are very simple and easy to learn. You don’t even need any fancy dice. Once you get the hang of it (and you will get the hang of it fairly quickly) you’ll find it so rewarding to create some stories with your friends! To you, I’d recommend snagging a copy."
- Geek Chic Elite

"The system is easy, streamlined, and really carries the four-color comic book flavor ... this is a must-have book that will bring hours of enjoyment."
- Polygon

"The system is straightforward and fun ... fully embracing the breadth and history of the Marvel comic book setting."
-GameInformer

"Extraordinary...stands head and shoulders above the competition."
