    Great, fun and Amazing. This game reminded me of what it felt to be an avengers fan. Kamala is amazing and her interactions with the rest of the cast are great. The story mixed with the co op has a lot to do and a lot of fun to be had. The combat is very in depth once you start leveling up.

    8/10

    Campaign is a high point. Additional missions are repetitive and there are bugs a plenty. Technically what has been delivered is quite impressive. It could have been a lot worse yet people love negativity these days. DLC characters, more story, gameplay improvements and bug fixes to come so plenty to look forward to. 10/10 is just to off-set the drivel.

    The game is great if you like to play multiplayer experiences, plus it has some cool hero mechanics put in place, don't mind the crybabies around the platform review bombing this game.

This game is about Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel as she single-handedly reunites the avengers after they fell apart, because clearly no one else can in the 4 years that they have been disbanded. She is the narrator of the game, she constantly talks to herself annoyingly, her powers are copied straight from Mr. fantastic and she always seems to have the right answers. She is an absolute Mary Sue, and for good measure she's also muslim for the sake of diversity. She wouldn't be so annoying had she been one part of the avengers story, but she is the central character and is the one you have to play as through most of the story. I wish I didn't buy the game but my friends insist I play it online with them.… Expand

    Honestly, it was pretty much what I was expecting except for the story which was way better than I expected. The game still have some issues with Frame Rate but comparing it to how it was on the beta it is a big improvement. Can’t wait to see where they will go with this game.

    A good, fun & addictive time. The Game is hub-based, with you starting missions & inviting people, being randomly matched, or Playing with AI. Each Hero plays differently with customizable skills to suit your playstyle: Melee, Support & Range. The Missions allow for a bit of exploration for chests, NPC rescues & mini-bosses. You are always obtaining new gear, nameplates & skins. The daily & weekly quests give rewards for those who don't want to use the Cash Shop for Cosmetics that have no barring on Stats. The multiplayer allows friends & randoms to Tackle Quests even in single player mode.

    The Story is a bit on the dark side, the narration and motivations are well written. The Character Dialogue has it's moments especially when you bring certain heroes on a mission together. The voice acting is done well, not coming off overly cheesy.

    The True Fun lies in the difficulty, this game can be as easy or hard as you want but playing on Hard or Brutal with Challenge IV Modifiers makes for some intense, action-packed missions. The game rewards you based on how well you complete these missions, so the tougher and better you play the better your gear & rewards.

    Problems people may have with the game is that each hero has to be leveled & geared individually. This may make play redundant especially when you've already completed missions on your Main Hero. A Remedy is that there are Factions which reward you with gear & items as you earn Rep by doing daily and weekly missions. Building rep will make the gearing of alternate Hereos less tedious.

    To me, this game feels Diabloesque with you constantly getting loot drops & building sets to suit your playstyle. With more heroes being added along with DLC, the varied playstyles and your personal interests in Hero building will keep the game interesting whether single or Co-op for the foreseeable future.    … Expand

    This is THE Avengers game is was waiting for, for years. I am so intrigued. There are flaws.... and there are problems at the moment, yes, but nothing game breaking, at least for me.

    The Story is nice, people complaining to not know Kamala and making her non-existent new character should really get more into comics ^^

    Looking forward to the Quantum Realm DLC this autumn :)

But, what you get in return is a longevity, character variety and depth that are enough to keep you playing for a long time to come, which those noted peers definitely don't offer. And on top of that all? It's fun! Crank the difficulty up and hop in with friends for some tense and tactical coop gameplay that will leave you wanting more.

    I see people complaining about the campaign...The campaign is a great experience, with set pieces and memorable moments to put a smile on your face. I see others complain about longevity and grind... I cant remember the last time I even considered opening up Spider-Man again once the story was done. No problem like that here.

    Once the niggling frame rate issues and (uncommon) gameplay bugs are fixed, we have a stellar super hero action extravaganza here, with something for everyone!    … Expand

Gameplay is solid at times but often becomes a repetitive doing the same few missions again and again. Sadly it's all stuff we did in anthem so nothing new. The single player is rubbish with a poor story. The multiplayer is fun with friends for a day or two but quickly grows stale.

    Overall it's just so last gen but with this gen business models. Wait for deep sale. Do not be tricked into a full purchase and if you don't get Spider-Man just hard pass.    … Expand

    I'm really rather confused as to how this game was allowed to be released to the public in its current state. I'm rarely, over my 20+ years of gaming, having ever run into bugs, and that includes games from Bethesda. I, in fact, openly admit I would be a horrible game tester because of how often I seem to have no problems while others run into a surplus. This game, however, is polluted with bugs, I truly wonder who (if anyone) was hired to do any sort of alpha, beta or bug testing before this games' release. Audio bugs, cosmetic bugs, combat bugs, the game crashing at random moments. You name it, the game'll have a bug affecting how enjoyable that aspect is.

    The combat, for all its positives have an equal amount of negatives; It's *too* chaotic and at the best of times, simply unfair, and that's not even including how awful your AI partners are. When you've got 2 of them off in a completely different zone running around in circles (literally) and one of them just staring off into space, meanwhile you have to fend off 20 machines that all spawn at once, some of them being gigantic damage-sponges, even without the 10000-damage shields some of them come equipped with, needless to say, you're pretty screwed and you're going to have to die to reset the AI so they do what they're supposed to. That's the tip of the iceberg with the combat. Never mind the off-screen turrets of which there is a surplus is every level, flying enemies with ranged weapons with bullets all traveling at varying speeds, so the attack indicators on them do you absolutely no good. Then you have enemies with incredibly broken mechanics, featuring god-levels of tracking on their attacks, stun locks that last a good 2 seconds, then they proceed to 2-shot or 1-shot your character, even playing as the Hulk. Again...not even the tip of the iceberg with combat....

    The story thus far, granted I haven't finished it, has many parts where it simply feels very disjointed. Events happen that you are not privy to and you're just left wondering, "how exactly did that character accomplish this?" The world may never know because the devs designed a contrived, cheesy, cliché, and half-assed story that, amid all the time they had, and still feels like it's missing a lot of parts and context.

    It needs so much work still that again, I'm brought back to my original point and question of why it was released in its current state. Maybe down the line, after the team has had a LOT of time to work out these bugs, fine-tune the experience, add more characters, maybe fix the story by adding in some necessary cut-scenes? Truly, I don't envy the team with how much more work needs to go into the game - I just regret buying it on release.    … 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.
