Marvel's Avengers

The future of Marvel's Avengers' ongoing success will be completely dependent on the quality and regularity of content. However, as a game available today, it's a solid entry into the loot and shoot RPG space. The single player story is worth the price of admission alone, leaving the fun but dated approach to multiplayer a welcome addition for fans of the looter style approach.

Whether you’re an avid Marvel fan or simply enjoy sinking numerous hours into action RPGs, there’s a lot to love about Marvel’s Avengers. Its characters and its world have been brought to life with a lot of care and detail, making it a pleasure to spend time with. But it’s just how fun the game is that really draws you in. It’s a Hollywood action movie you can play, basically. Sit back, relax, and...

Avengers feels like two separate games smashed together, and while they don't always sync up, both parts are linked by deep, intelligent combat spread across varied heroes.

Marvel’s finest have never looked or sounded this good, but their best efforts feel in vain.

The story is enjoyable while the combat has an interesting skill system. However, the mission variety and level design let the game down and the multiplayer needs a lot more content.

While I enjoyed my time with the single-player campaign in Marvel's Avengers--which surprised me with its warmth, fun, and energy--its multiplayer components haven't quite come together just yet. As a game that revolves around assembling its team of iconic heroes, Marvel's Avengers at this time still feels a bit at odds with itself. Granted, Crystal Dynamics clearly is planning to make this experi...

A snappy, fun campaign full of great VO ends too soon, and the game-as-service that comes after is paper thin

Marvel’s Avengers has a fun and endearing superhero campaign, but it’s tied to a loot-based post-game that’s so repetitive and unrewarding that it gave me little reason to want to keep playing. The combat here can definitely be enjoyable and the superhero flavor throughout is top notch, but the loot system is an unsatisfying mess and its limited mission variety is recycled ad nauseum – not to ment...

Marvel's Avengers clearly wants to be something great, but it can't answer what that something is. It wants to tell a narrative-driven story with the Avengers characters. The co-op elements, meanwhile, want you to play with your friends. Finally, the live service elements wish to ensure you and your friends stay playing forever. That's a lot to manage and Marvel's Avengers just can't be everything...

There have been plenty of moments during my time with Marvel's Avengers where I’ve genuinely had a great time. But this game keeps finding ways to drag itself down- at times it almost feels like it goes out of its way to do so. There’s just so much here that I can’t overlook, no matter how hard I may try. An unnecessary and broken loot system, a litany of horrible technical issues, uninspired and ...

Marvel's Avengers is the most broken gaming experience in 2020, and even if it was polished, it would be severely flawed.

There are many things I do not like about Marvel’s Avengers, one of the best comic book video games I’ve played.
