    Pretty average game, nothing special about it. Character models look cheap and the story was awful tho.

    A lot of what the quality of this game is comes down less to what it has and more about what it doesn't have. While it's very pretty graphically has decent enough gameplay, it all falls apart when you look at everything around that and for me personally, I couldn't even get the dlc to work on ps5.

While it's very pretty graphically has decent enough gameplay, it all falls apart when you look at everything around that and for me personally, I couldn't even get the dlc to work on ps5.

    To start, the voice acting, needs work. They got some of the best voice acting talents in the industry, so I know they are all capable of doing better than this. I can't help but think that whoever was directing the voice acting here was the real problem and/or perhaps the voice actors weren't able to watch the scenes as they did the voice acting? I'm not sure what it was, but something clearly went wrong in this department.

    The graphics are great though. You can see the individual hairs on each fighter's head and everyone looks exactly as I'd expect them to. Performance also seems to be pretty good without any major technical issues within the game itself. My biggest complaint about technical issues was actually the dlc. Full disclosure, I'm playing this game on PS5 and can not get the dlc to work at all on ps5. I paid money for the dlc and am unable to download it or use it. While this game was not made for ps5 so I really shouldn't hold this against the game too much, the ps5 is supposed to be fully backwards compatible. There really is no excuse why the dlc shouldn't work when the game itself does.

    The story mode is kinda weird. I like how it does let you use every character a good deal through out, but the story itself needs more backstory in the game. You can tell that in the eighty or ninety days leading up to the events of the game, a lot did happen but none of it is actually explained. Instead of starting the game several months after the convergence, the game perhaps should have started during, or even slightly before, so that the player can experience the entire story instead of just part of it.

    Another big weak point for the game is the roster. This is the fourth game in the series and yet it's missing many, many characters who have appeared in previous games. The roster is relatively small for a game that could make use of any Marvel or Capcom character. The Marvel side in particular feels weird as it's missing the XMen entirely. The Marvel side of this roster feels like an advertisement for the upcoming movies of the time and the Capcom side feels like an advertisement of the upcoming games. It does not feel like a love letter to the two companies or a passion project of someone who enjoyed their content.

    The most disappointing part though is that even with all the flaws, the gameplay itself feels good. This does feel like a solid fighting game when you are playing the fights and combos mostly come natural with room for improvement if you keep practicing and learn the combos. It feels like how most fighting games should feel.

    Ultimately, Marvel VS Capcom Infinite is the fourth game in the Marvel Vs Capcom series, but at times feels like the first, with a much weaker roster than the third or second games and doesn't hold up to those games in the value presented and even the story is not worth getting this game for. My own personal biggest disappointment is simply not being able to get the dlc to work at all, even though I paid for it although I tried to not let that affect the score itself.    … Expand

    Jogo ótimo para se jogar. Acho interessante que tenham dado continuidade a esse modelo de game, mas não trouxe nada de novo que os antigos já não tinha, e trouxe um ponto negativo, ter que pagar para desbloquear alguns personagens, e vou dar 5 só por conta disso, achei mega desnecessário isso.

They go primarily for the movie feel rather than for the all out comic look which is fine, but just feels like it takes itself a tad too seriously. The roster is another gripe since they massively cut it down and characters that are behind a paywall you have to pay 8 dollars or so for. Really doesnt sit well with me… Expand

Para mí este título solo no reprueba puesto que si eres fan tanto de Marvel como de Capcom aún puede seguir siendo disfrutable y porque tiene algunos pequeños detalles como que al hacer cambios entre personajes digan alguna frase que es un guiño para los fans. También agregar que, aunque compres la versión que incluye todos los personajes dlc, seguirás sin conseguir los trajes alternativos para los personajes, por lo que si te interesa dicho contenido tocara pasar por caja nuevamente.… Expand

    I do agree with a lot of complaints about the roster (especially the Marvel side), the graphics looking like a mobile game and the auto combo system, but over all, I still find it to be enjoyable and worth more than what people have given it credit for. As cheap as it is these days, I'd say it's def worth the purchase.

    Pontos positivos o jogo trás um contra muito legal entre os personagens de Capcom e Marvel mesmo com algumas baixas importantes da marvel em relação as edições passadas, este jogo consegue ser divertido e tem um modo história bacana mas peca na jogabilidade lenta esse fica como seu ponto fraco.

    To be honest, this game isn't that bad. The worst in the series for sure, but it isn't terrible. Its graphics aren't even that bad and the game is fun. The roster brings it down though. It is so bad. NO XMEN?! WHY NO FRICKIN XMEN?! I WANT TO PLAY AS DEADPOOL AGAIN!

    wierd looking model characters, cringe af story mode (but gives kind off a guilty pleasure), terrible and awefully small roaster (damn, in 1995 there was maybe the triple the number of characters), and some heroes' techniques are just lazy and limited. BUT, the game manages to get a 6 for me, cuz at least the fight are really fun, and work well enough

The problem is that this game was made to be TOO accessible for newcomers. The Auto Combo system has absolutely ruined this game. Plus the easy Hyper Combos are just way too EASY to pull off. There are so many times when I accidentally wasted a Hyper Combo while caught in the midst of battle, only to have my opponent telegraph and block the entire move. You would also think Capcom might realize that it just isn't fun to be corner-raped for an entire match. Once people know how to string together the most basic combos there's just no way to block or avoid it most of the time and newbies can simply Auto Combo their way to victory. Not very much fun and there's little to no skill involved. The Infinity Stones are a nice touch but it gets annoying when people kill off your 1st character then use their Soul Stone before you can use yours to take an easy win. Again, not fun at all, just an aggravating design choice.

    Removing the X-Men and Fantastic Four didn't help this game's chances but we can blame Marvel for this since those properties were sold to Fox. Some of the character choices on Capcom's side were very questionable as well. Haggar? Nemesis? Firebrand? A lot of recognizable characters are on the roster but these obscure choices weren't even necessary. Overall the game feels like a giant advertisement for all of the upcoming Marvel movies. The 2 vs 2 combat is fine because it makes matches much quicker but the Auto Combos and easy Hypers should've been completely scrapped.    … Expand

    Ouch, just ouch. I don't feel bad about this game flopping hard, just because of how the MVC3 community was to other fighters from different games. Now look at them, they are getting crushed by Dragon Ball, a series that once failed every release... and these characters look like rubber chew toys for dogs.

    Infinite is a case study on how not to make crossovers. The story mode is really poorly written and if you don’t already know and like the characters, you’ll just waste your time. What’s worse, almost every element of the game is similarly weak. The result is a mediocre game that wastes the potential of its solid combat system. [12/2017, p.54]
