    Bon jeu pour une nouvelle licence,le mode campagne est bien correct sans plus mais le jeu prend tout sont sense après la campagne.
    Un mmo basic à la Destiny mais a troisième personne entre pote qui est très plaisant.Un point négatif c’est qui manque de vilain et de missions désertifier.

    A lot better game than the scores show, atleast in November 2020. The combat is a lot of fun, mechanics are deep enough, gripping story and amazing graphics. Sure the live service wanna be destiny is a bit odd, but the game is a lot of fun. Got it on sale for 29.99, 100% worth it

    It's not the most epic story of all time, but it's super fun. I think they did a great job of the characterisations of everyone and didn't copy paste from the MCU. The combat is fun, some characters way more than others. My only gripe is that the tutorial comes wah too late in the game.

    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.

    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.

    The story is good, the gameplay is good, but missions are repetitive and bug and performance issues are a real problem. Hope that with post launch updates the game can become less buggy and more variegated. For now it's a good game with some problems, but higly enjoyable

    Avengers is visually and acoustically impressive. Especially with the next-gen patch and a good surround system the gameplay is really fun, smooth, fluent and the destruction you do is immersive and now the inevitable BUT is coming. This game has so much potential with all the characters you can play and the levels they created but the gameplay itself feels very boring to me.

    The game    Avengers is visually and acoustically impressive.

This game has so much potential with all the characters you can play and the levels they created but the gameplay itself feels very boring to me.

    The game loop is basically find your new level clean it up, do some sidestuff (which is basically all the same: either unlocking a door for loot or finding loot). The levels are too bland especially the ones now in a city. Again, the visuals are impressive but the gameplay felt so boring to me. Also one thing I realized is that I didnt feel like skilling into anything because the skill descriptions were unintuitive. So I pushed my specials most of the time. I felt like missing out on stuff but it felt really complicated.

    The other thing is that the missions are quite repetitive and for the story missions you have to swap between characters (you are forced to) which is kind of nice because you play them all at times but the item and level system feel so enraging because every new character will be level 1 and naked. So you level them again, the enemies scale to you so it is okay but you loot yourself through crap over and over and over. And there are like.. more then a handful characters. The campaign length with the latest Future Imperfect DLC feature around 20hrs of playtime if you dont rush through and so some side stuff (not 100%ing everything).

    My verdict is very undecisive. I had fun with this game. I love the sound and the visuals. But the game loop and the skill system feel horrible to me. I liked the characters a lot but levling and looting them all over again sucked. I bought it for around 20 bucks which seems a fair price, even 30 might be okay. I m no hardcore fan so it was okay for me but I feel some really die-hard fans will be very disappointed. I think they missed a huge opportunity with this game but it is still by all means not bad.    … Expand

    Im only playing campaign mode now at 30 hrs of play. At first I didn't like it but after 10 hrs of gameplay it gets better slowly but surely. Good graphics(environments are gorgeous) and voice acting is awsome, and the music is awesome, gameplay is ok not great. I really enjoy playing as Hulk & black widow.

    The campaign story is excellent and really well written, the characters have unique set of skill that make each of them fun to play
    The only downside is that the campaign locks some characters until almost the end of the story and that the price for skins is WAY overpriced

    I don't mind it at all, feels like a cross between tomb raider and devil may cry. Lots of forced running bits and QTEs like tomb raider, but also the beat em up/hack and slash from devil may cry, the graphics on the Xbox Series X are absolutely amazing! Top tier quality!

    The story, although a set up for the mp, is great and worth the price in it self. The game certainly has its flaws but has all the makings to be a great GaaS game. It has heart and very few things in gaming are as fun as assembling as the avengers with friends. If you are a fan of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games this game will be mind blowing to you.

    I really like this game, the story is good. The gameplay addicting. The characters fun. I don't know why people are angry over optional micro transactions that you don't need to get and they also need money for the free story and characters they will add. There are some glitches but none game breaking. The only thing i understand people being angry about is spiderman because that is ****

    A strong middle segment carries a slow beginning—all in all, I liked the story as a whole, although the beginning wasn’t my favorite.

    My biggest issue was how clunky and floaty the controls were. Each move is a bit longer than you’d hope it to be, meaning you can’t dodge when you want to; each step is a bit more cinematic than is practical, so your character feels like a boat that you have to maneuver. That gets important when you die three or four times on a platforming section.

    I also thought the game was a little bit overcomplicated, with a few too many skill tree categories and gear types/bonuses and mission types and etc—but then again, I like single player campaigns, so that’s what I was looking for: A simple story game. Someone who likes online multiplayer looters will enjoy this more, maybe.

    But with all that out of the way, I liked the cinematic value of the game, and I liked that they stayed true to making the Avengers look as awesome as possible, which is a big part of the Avengers schtick. This game gave me and my 11-year-old kid, an Avengers fan, a happy memory together.

    7.5/10, but for Metacritic purposes I’ll round it up to an 8.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely love this game ! I’m addicted. I love this type of looter games, I love the grind and always having something to play. This game has an incredible single player story where you play as all 6 characters. I have seen a lot of moaning and dislike to this game due to Ms Marvel (Khamala Khan) honestly she is a great character with a compelling story, she had always been trying to fit into society even before she was inhuman! And the way she acts around the avengers is relatable because everyone would fanboy Captain America!! The endgame content at the moment is enjoyable they definitely need more game modes with different mission structures but other than that this game is incredible.… Expand

    It felt like a pretty good Marvel story as far as things go. Kamala is awesome but I would go as far as saying that the game mostly focuses on Hulk, Iron Man and Kamala.

    The post story multiplayer stuff is pretty much your typical live service / mmo, repeatable missions to earn better gear. Some story beats there.

    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.
