I didn't let anyone discourage me from playing the first major AAA third person avengers game and that's how I went in.

    Keep your expectations well put and the game could surprise you. The combat is good, the story is good, and the environments look as if we could see some potential of creativity for this game open up major possibilities .my final verdict is just play the game for yourself it's either for you or its not    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great campaign and a good story following a endearing protagonist with characters Marvel fans know and have adoration for.
    The multiplayer is decent but will hopefully improve. There is promise in future favorites such as Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and Spider-Man. Also the work done with Kamala Khan comes across excellently as you experience the highs and lows of what she goes through in the story. And I believe one of the best things I can say about this game is the campaign is engaging. The combat is best em' up with cinematic platforming. Throw in some RPG elements and customization and you have a decent game. But it's a good game likely due to the promise of more to come , but for how it is right now it's great.    … Expand

    I am giving it an 8 out of 10 due to the great single player campaign. It's multiplayer is still better than anthem. It's not as bad as people say, it's really pretty good, just needs a little more polish. I don't like games as a service by The Division 2 I love so it's growing on me. If they would've marketed the single player more it would've had a better score. I would rent it first.

    This game is a lot of fun! Excellent campaign, each team member plays differently, more stuff to come. I don't really play multi-player so if that's buggy, oh well. lots to do, and it's just really fun. looking forward to seeing how it evolves down the line. Back to it!

    Marvel's Avengers is not the best game and not the worst game ever. I have had a fun time playing the game, but the story of the main campaign seems a bit rushed, when sitting back. I played a few hours since the release on the 1st of September and already finished the story without relatively a lot of trouble.

    There are the issues of the overly overpriced microtransactions, but it is not something that I care too much about, but it is a valid criticism and I would have appreciated that a Legendary skin didn't kost 14 dollars. Some people will be buying them, while someone will just go through the incredibly slow loop of ways to get cosmetics in the game without spending any more money.

    It is okay compared to other kinds of Marvel games in the past, but doesn't come near to the quality of Spider-Man PS4, but what did I expect? I bought the game, because I had been intrigued by the story through the beta and wanted to play more and I did like the gameplay, but I would have wished that it isn't so repetitive, when thinking about you have to do everything over and over again in order to get enough money for cosmetics.

    I had expected that I would have gotten enough units throughout my playtime, so I could buy a legendary skin from the cosmetics vendor, but I only got 2500 units and a legendary skin costs 7000. The grinding in this game will be insane. I just hope that the future updates and heroes will bring new fun into the game, so I don't get bored of it too fast.    … Expand

There’s many multiplayer & other story missions outside the main quests & it keeps my very intrigued. There are some micro transactions but as I played they aren’t hard to earn as in the currency of “Units “ The other currency can be bought or earned through the characters pass that’s like a battle pass , but they are free .

    Does it have flaws, sure. But it has a good story, the graphics are great, the voice acting is wonderful, and I think this game was made for next Generation Hardware. There a lot of annoying little things will get fixed in the next few months. I think over all, as far as games as service go it has the best platform for growth and its the most complete launch to date.

    Pretty good game. Of course it's not that perfect like the spiderman from Insomniac Games, but it's not bad at all. Storyline is fantastic with a lot of fun dialogs and nice effects. Unfortunately all the missions are typical linear dungeons... Characters are quite balanced. And again... unfortunately, there is not enough content at the moment and the multiplayer coop does not work well.Pretty good game.

    The game is great and have a lot of room to improve. Frame rate drops in PS4 version when your fighting a lot of enemies. Other than that the story mode was better than I expected and the characters play just how you would want them to play. Thier is a lot to do in the game before and after the campaign.

    This game is a masterpiece. As a comic and game fan this is possibly one of the best adaptations of a superhero game. I’m a huge Spider-Man fan, but I don’t think I enjoyed that game as much as this. It’s definitely not as risky. You may read some criticism that it is very similar to destiny.

This game is made with a lot of heart. What really interested me was the interactions between Marvel characters. Most of the characters speak and act as I have always read them to. And i’m excited to see what the new roster will bring. I don’t think people who like the MCU may enjoy this game, but authentic comic fans will be thrilled to see this new narrative. I have already put in 30 hours and feel like I’ve barely touched the surface. With new updates incoming soon, I am finally enjoying 1 thing in 2020.… Expand

    This is a really well made game especially for comic book enthusiasts. The game is surprisingly well made and is really good despite the criticism it has gained prior to it's release. If you are into comic book superheroes and certain looter and RPG elements, then this game is a must play.

    Marvel's Avengers is an exciting prospect of whats to come - albeit flawed in areas we really want to engage in. The structure of the game is all over the place if your main idea is to play with friends; campaign and multiplayer is separated in the main menu, but when you choose campaign, MP is automatically connected regardless - which can be confusing.

    With that being said, campaign is really good, with some amazing presentations - very excited for possible expansions to their world building.

    Then there's co op, where the game pits you with 4-players in a open environment to collect loot and help NPCs. Its a decent arcade style looter that can be fun in short burst, however It lacks content to really make this replayable, as all you do is mop adds, secure a zone, destroy and progress to an escape route, in random order.

    I REALLY dislike how the loot is pure stat based and the cosmetic is entirely separate - lots of separation here.

    When its all said and done, the biggest hurdle Crystal Dynamics has to overcome is its consistent bug issues; clipping through worlds, camera running amoke and game break bugs that haults campaign progression. Avengers is exciting and you should look forward to it, but don't expect it to be a seamless experience, its not.    … Expand

    So far the best Avengers game released. I only wish it had either kept the exact style and feel of the MCU movies or go based on the comics instead of creating something that takes inspiration from both.

    It could’ve been a great single player title. The publisher chose to go down the game as a service path though, and those who prefer to play solo need to tackle run-of-the-mill co-op missions. The multiplayer on the other hand is messy, chaotic and in the long run boring. When the developers manage to fix the most pressing bugs and find a way to bring more variety to co-op, this might become a solid game. Right now, I can only recommend it to the biggest fans of the Avengers. [11/2020, p.26]

    This is the perfect example of "Games as a Service" done right. Marvel's Avengers offers up a superb campaign story to play through that is promised to be expanded on in the future. The gameplay may be repetitive, but it includes just enough to keep players interested and invested in the endgame content that is available now to keep this game going until the next step in its roadmap. The possibilities and potential in the future here are hugely exciting.

    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 one-note mission design, and a story that fails just as much as it succeeds- it doesn’t matter how mindlessly fun the combat is, it isn't enough to overcome such a heavy list of problems.
