    excellent gameplay, good graphics and medium story. I like it, but I think it is very expensive for what it gives.

    The game shows a great evolution since beta, the gameplay is too different between the heroes.

    Fantastic combat! Each hero plays uniquely different and when they're fully upgraded feel truly heroic. Good story with all-star voice acting. The story mode is a bit short but sets up the multiplayer loot grind which is the real focus. Endgame grind/loot is a bit lackluster at launch and the game is severely lacking content but with time that shouldn't be an issue.

    It's utterly confusing why this game is a looter/shooter (aside from greed, obviously) because the foundation is there for a great Avengers game. Especially with the template from Marvel's Spider-Man just recently to show that a game doesn't have to be particularly inspired if it's just true to its character, this should have been a no-brainer. Instead it's boring, boring, boring. AvoidIt's utterly confusing why this game is a looter/shooter (aside from greed, obviously) because the foundation is there for a great Avengers game.

    Avengers boasts a surprisingly good campaign and varied combat for each of its playable characters, however, a host of bugs and dissapointing post campaign progression hold the game back from its true potential.

    Bought this because I loved Marvel's Spider-Man. The combat in that game was challenging yet satisfying. Not so here. First of all, you're supposed to be able to block, dodge and counter, but good luck executing any of those when you're being targeted by turrets, missiles, freeze rays, lasers, rockets and grenades all at once. It's so chaotic, I can't even focus on one enemy longBought this because I loved Marvel's Spider-Man. The combat in that game was challenging yet satisfying. Not so here. First of all, you're supposed to be able to block, dodge and counter, but good luck executing any of those when you're being targeted by turrets, missiles, freeze rays, lasers, rockets and grenades all at once. It's so chaotic, I can't even focus on one enemy long enough to contemplate what I'm doing. And when you're playing with four people, there's so much **** happening on the screen you can't even see where anything is. So you're forced to either a) mash buttons and unload your special abilities as soon as they're charged in the hope you might survive, or b) run away and use ranged attacks while you wait for your teammates to thin out the soup. It's sometimes impossible to tell what's killing you--the chaos starts and the next thing you know, your health bar is almost empty and your character's saying something like, "I'm not doing so good." And guess how you're supposed to fill your health back up? Yup, by carefully executing moves. I'm in hell.

    The gear is absolutely pointless which makes it all the more annoying when you can't progress to the next story mission because your gear isn't upgraded enough to make the mission not a total nightmare. It's nothing but a tedious chore to have to keep checking the gear screen to make sure you're using the highest level stuff. And when you're in combat, you don't notice the difference the gear makes except that maybe you might die slower.

    One more complaint: the jumping. If you're jumping a long distance, just one too generous a nudge of the thumbstick is enough to send you careening over a cliff, then you have to stare at that loading screen for practically a whole minute before you can try again.

    It doesn't work as either a mindless beat-em-up or as a looter shooter, which is a shame because I like the Kamala Khan character, the acting is good, and the graphics are good. Very disappointing.    … Expand

    This game should be SOOOOO much better but falls flat in almost every way. Ironman flies like a tank, hulk is nerfed, same with Thor. Black Widow, and Cap are good. The worst is this is just another money grabbing cash cow that fell flat.

    Game is really good. Combat is what does it, every Avenger's has its own playstyle. So it does feel unique. And since there's 4 player coop, it's even better with friends. I don't get people saying negative about the combat, yes it can be a little unforgiving, in that you can be stun-locked into death -if you're not careful! So anyone complaining there; l2p.

    Combat is good, there's this brawler combo-style combat, like dodge, then light attack to counterattack, and there's defensive mechanics. What they could improve on is the amount of skills, currently there's just 3 abilities per hero, that you can augment through the skill-system. And then after level 15 there's even more specialization. In which you choose 1 out of 3 augments to a skill or ability.

    Story is alright, it does introduce you to the characters one-by-one, and force you into playing as one specific character for the story. Once you unlock the wartable, there's some missions, side missions, that you can pick whichevery hero you want. Else there's a choice between 2-3.

    If you think this game is "easy", then you should play on "Brutal" difficulty for the story. And Challenge V for the multiplayer/side missions. I've yet to see anyone BREEZE through on those difficulties on Twitch or YouTube. If you have, please link me to where you have seen, or if you have recorded such gameplay. I'm interested to see if there's any hold to the arguments that this game is easy.

    What this game get's minus for, from me, is the exclusivity stuff, consoles are prioritized clearly. Some movement things, like it doesn't move according to camera, but according to the character, which is a console issue thing when porting this to PC. And PC version doesn't have a chat, and default it's OPEN mike. But the MTX with costumes and battle pass are all fine. You get all characters and content that's coming with this title. So it's the store who will hold this up only with cosmetics. They get a huge plus for that.

    Some missions seems to have the art and assets reused. But this is a solid title for what game is perfect on launch these days? It'll be better over time, right? Let's hope!    … Expand

    It is a clear case of the „Release it now and fix it later“ mentality. Because of this the game is being repetitive, has bugs and fails to deliver.

I think they should had more content and fixed some issues before release. In this state it looks like they want to use the Avengers franchise and its appeal to just get extra money out of gamers. The story is not related to the movies and starts on A-Day which is a celebration of the Avengers getting a new headquarter and a helicarrier powered by a Terrigen crystal (Mutagen that activates random superpowers in humans that have Inhuman genes / ancestors). Because of some tragic events the crystal is destroyed, a Terrigen mist is created and the Avengers disbanded. Years later superheroes are treated as criminals while an organization named A.I.M. (comic fans will say uh oh now) is tasked in policing and healing the victims of the “Inhuman Disease”. You start as Kamala Khan on her heroes journey. The story itself is decent but some events / twists you can see coming from miles away and there are many out of character moments or characters feel like lesser versions of the originals. Kamala Khan itself is a great character and I like that they chose her (She won me over in all the years). Later you get more characters to use with a good variety. However the gameplay is mixed. There are some annoying bugs, crashes and the AI is not really good. The missions have not much variety and they should have more villains as enemies. You notice the games as a service approach. It is a role model for repetitive gameplay. The loot is also unrewarding as it is the character customization. I expected more and most fans agree. Then there is the monetization. There is so much stuff to buy and there were paid gaming passes for each character. This is a shameless approach and there is no hiding or defending this. The interest for the game is already dwindling towards zero and I read that Square-Enix had lost somewhere between 48 to 65 million dollars from different sources. They also failed in adding more content as soon as possible to stop the downwards spiral as the next (content) DLC was delayed. Even as fan of Square-Enix I said they deserved it. Overall this is more of a money grab than a videogame. Avoid it as it is not worth your time and especially your money.… Expand

    Fun to play for half an hour. But the missions are repetitive and boring and the story is dull. Not worth a full game price. Didnt even bother trying the online stuff. Had so much potential but wasted in a Microtransaction focused game. The only positive is being the Hulk but that gets old fast.

    You play through the story of a girl that become inhuman and sets out to make things right.. good vs evil story of coruse, this is a super hero game.. but youll play across this campaign as a variety of characters which is what I love most about marvels avengers.. its cast of charcters stop this game from getting as repetitive as it would have without them… the campaign is very linear feeling like an interactive movie with dashes of collectables for you to find, but again the gameplay isn’t deep enough for me to even care about that, I was focused souley on getting hrough the campaign, and I actually enjoyed my time.. getting to play as different avenger members, all with their own unique feel and play stylethis made fighting these repetive and boring enemies not so repetitive and boring, unlocking new abilities for my avengers, finding different items to equip them with to boost their stats… these things are all great.. sadly though the gameplay agin isn’t deep enough for any of it to really matter outside of leveling up and unlocking new moves.. so it really comes down to this marvels avengers should be viwed more as a single player experience with co optional content… because if you play this strictly for the multiplaer aspect youre going to be disappointed.. that being said.. the campaign wont blow you away either.. not a lot of crazy moments or cool levels, the campaign is definitely lacking on creativifty, but it does switch up the charcters enough to not overstay its welcome, and because of this, it was enjoyable, even the story was enjoyable and that’s coming from someone that hasn’t seen any of the marvel movies… so the ip isn’t all that made me enjoy this game…
    Marvels avengers is far from game of the year, but this is a nice refresh for the marvel universe in the gaming world,

    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.
