    A decent story that will keep you invested enough your first time playing, however the gameplay is SO repetitive and dull that you'll struggle to find the desire to play it again more than once. Also expereinced a few bugs on top of that as well.

    Honestly for a AAA game based upon the biggest movie franchise going this is a massive dissapointment. Avoid unless you can get it dirt cheap.

    1 downside on cosmetics is that finishing moves are behind a paywall. I havent seen any finishing moves from the in-game cosmetic vendor that u can buy with farmable currency called units. I dont consider finishing moves "cosmetics", but part of the gameplay and should be unlockable by challenges and not behind a paywall.

    Story is good with plenty of cinematics. Post-Campaign activities is like doing strikes in Destiny. You'll unlock more activities once you've progressed through main post-campaign objective/quest (AFAIK, completing first step unlocked a new typ of activity)

    You will get some premium currency (Credits) by completing Hero Challenge Card or HCC (Battle Pass) with each character. Launch characters has them unlocked for free. You'll earn points to lvl HCC by completing Daily and Weekly Challenges.

    New upcoming characters will have HCC locked unless you buy it for 1000 credits.

    Great main story and pretty decent multiplayer. Gameplay is amazing, but the levels and mission variety is repetitive after a while. Could be an incredible games as a service game in the future, but there isn't much to do once you max out a character.

    Should be way better than it is considering the amount of time and money that’s gone into it. Graphical errors are a joke, level breaking bugs where bosses aren’t loading, the amount of microtransactions you’re encouraged to check out despite paying £55 for the game is ridiculous, the subtitles often say something entirely different to what’s onscreen, and above all it’s just a bit boring.Should be way better than it is considering the amount of time and money that’s gone into it.

Yeah you can do fancy combos and stuff but usually there’s so much happening onscreen that you’ll be interrupted and take damage before you can even get halfway through them. You’re better off just mashing the square button. It all just feels so generic and bland. You have the entire Marvel universe at your fingertips, with an endless roster of characters to choose from including the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and villains like Loki, and you make a game in which all you ever do is go into AIM facilities on Earth that all look the same and you just spend all your time smashing some robots. The voice acting is good, but you’ve got the likes of Nolan North, Laura Bailey and Troy Baker in there so of course they know exactly what’s needed. Like I’ve said the story’s a bit dull and it doesn’t give them all that much to work with emotionally. Really feels like this is a missed opportunity that could have been utilised much better in the hands of a developer that didn’t just see this as an endless grinding cash cow for people with more money than sense to spend on skins, emotes and hero cards a la Fortnite. That’s without even mentioning the fact that each character has a battle pass that you have to pay for individually. Such a shame. Needless to say I’ll be trading it in and not giving them any more of my money on pointless cosmetics.… Expand

    The campaign was about as much fun as the beta. Missions are the same, and so are structures. Also very glitchy. I was so excited for this game but it reminds me of something on PS2 with character dialogue, mannerisms, and movements. Would not recommend at $60, let alone $20. Spider-Man is hands down the better game.

    Typical unfinished live service game. There’s something fun buried deep in the countless technical and baffling design issues, but it needs at minimum another year of development before it’s worth your time.

    This game is unfinished, long loading screens, models not loading in, falling through the world, etc needed way more time. The story also feels rushed as hell, a huge character fight and makeup from said fight didn't take 5 minutes. Wait a few months or skip the game all together.

    The game play is somewhat fun but the thing that is a big letdown is the lack of equipment customization you character doesn't show any changes instead they pull and anthem were you can just buy a skin that is just a lazy way to do thing, also after a while it is just repetitive if you are a fan this is for you but if not well there are probably better options out there or coming soon.

    But after you reach the Campaign there's nothing left. The multiplayer function simply serves no purpose as there are a limited amount of options left following the end of the campaign.

    This game is still very buggy. Yes, it's mostly just funny visual glitches. But, sometimes, your allied AI will get stuck in the ground. Sometimes, your multiplayer partners will somehow launch themselves through an invisible wall.

    This game should be global. It should feel global. This is the Avengers. Most of the maps are American focused with two outside. One being in Scandnavia, and the other being in Siberia. So, that's a bit disappointing.

    No option to kick people out of your parties during multiplayer meetups. So, you always end up having to leave your strike team in order to get the party you want should you want to change things up.

    It's by no means a bad game. But a $60 game? Not at this state. $30 sounds better with everything this game seemingly lacks.    … Expand

    We hear the excuse that games as a service games always ship unfinished and while that's obviously true it never justifies shipping an unfinished game.

This game has its moments, the beginning of the story is charming and stirs up hype on what being a super hero is all about and makes you want to jump in as one of the main avengers the game launches with, and then it falls flat. The Avengers Initiative is supposed to be your standard online looter shooter; run in, beat up the bad guys, do a tedious meaningless task or two, get your gear, leave, rinse and repeat. As someone who plays warframe and played it at launch I genuinely enjoy these types of games BUT! The types of missions available are repetitive and stale after a couple of hours of playing. Stages are reused and don't allow for some of the Avengers to shine with their specific abilities, the objective has been recycled from other types of games (use warframe as an example) When in playing as Thor or Iron Man you're able to do really cool abilities but you're objective is to heat up a reactor or server? No cool animations for heroes with actual powers just punching and kicking at a random object. The enemies range in types and can flood you at certain points making you feel smothered and not so super hero esque. Although there is a multitude of enemy types they are literally only robots. The only humans enemies you engage with are in the beginning of the game and a few other types that teleport or fly. Other than that you're fighting robots the entire game. This game needs a huge overhaul fast before they lose the hype. Matchmaking is abysmal and you end up playing with AI because you're tired of waiting for the Avengers to assemble. The gear you collect doesn't have any physical appearance and really doesn't give you an incentive to keep replaying missions which is the entire point of a looter shooter games as a service game. Each hero has its own season pass type set up that you can either grind for by daily and weekly missions or just pay for (surprise) right now after playing since the day after it's launch I haven't unlocked one item for a hero in the free season pass. Grinding different hero's seems like a chore at this point and doing so will make the game feel more stale. Others have said it best, if you want to be an Avenger with friends buy it. If you want to feel like your doing meaningless tasks as a super hero in an unfinished game for mediocre rewards at a premium price this is for you. If the developers were holding out for next gen they should've done just that. I want to like this game and hopefully with the poor reviews and the fan feedback they'll update the game to play and feel like I am actually a super hero until then it's just not that enjoyable for long periods of time.… Expand

    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.
