    Marvel has not payed me enough to make this a positive review.

    I don't like loot system and story base.I think loot and co-op system ruined the story.Story could be better.
    But still it's nice to be playing Marvel Superheroes.
    Finally combat system is great and perceivable.

    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

    Не так уж и плохо, как все говорят. После Стражей Галактики, конечно, выглядит немного убого, но то после Стражей. А так вполне развлекательная сюжетная кампания, в начале за героев играть не интересно, но со временем, когда тебя дают за них покатать побольше, привыкается и играется вполне неплохо. Но дальше делать в игре особо и нечего... Мало, но нормально.Не так уж и плохо, как все говорят. После Стражей Галактики, конечно, выглядит немного убого, но то после Стражей.

    I pre-ordered this game hoping it was going to be as good as other superhero games such as Spider-Man or the Arkham games but I was left disappointed and bored within the first week or so of playing.

    After a beta that ended the game, and horrible mismanagement of the live service aspect. We are left with a game that has a fun, if underwhelming gameplay loop and a decent campaign story. Maybe a great pickup for the bargain basement bin when you want to get some of that marvel content in your blood (or watch the campaign played on YouTube instead)

    The gameplay, the fights and the graphics are cool, but it's so disappointing. Specially for me, that I'm a huge Marvel fan, I was expecting so much more. The only gold here is Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel.

Besides that the game is lacking in several areas. The story is too short. The end game content is next to none and the cosmetics were significantly overpriced recolors after the latest price drop they're slight more feasible. It hits in a lot of areas though like for example the combat feels great playoffs as Thor feels like a god playing as Capture America or Black window feels gritty and spy like. All the characters have unique fun movesets and if you like superheroes you'll have atleast a little bit of fun with this game. It just seems a little rushed and honestly another year could've done wonders. It seems the developers plans were to get it out even if it's not ready and fix everyone post launch. Problem is players leave and with an online game like this that's a big problem. I'll be honest I still boot it up once a day or so just to play as Thor because it looks and feels pretty awesome. This video game market is lacking very good superhero games so this is really the best multiplayer hero game right now. I have faith post launch DLC will revitalize this game but as it stands it's a decent fun experience I think everything should try the campaign atleast. 6/10 now. 4/10 at launch and at it's absolute best 8.5/10… Expand

What I mean by this is heros like hulk and black widow get staggered and make enemies staggered at the same rate. Smaller enemies should not be able to continue throw an attack animation when getting punched in the face by hulk, and smaller enemies should not be able to interrupt his attacks. He also doesn't seem to have a crazy more amount of health or jump height compared to black widow.… Expand

I got myself pretty invested, especially with the character of Kamala, someone I ignored since her debut in the comics. Unfortunately it feels like they got the license for ONLY the avengers, as throughout the story you barely meet any big comic villain apart from two or three,

    Butthe single player alone was enough for me to see the gameplay loop doesn’t hold up for a game as service product. When you’re invested in the story you can manage to overlook a lot of the gameplay flaws, but when you begin to think the game was design to actually repeat that gameplay loop throughout multiple missions in a “games as service” mode, you realize it doesn’t work. If you’re just gonna be tasked with fighting hordes of generic enemies, only so you can fight a bigger generic enemy, for “no reason”, there really is no desire to continue playing.

    So basically, TLDR, game has a very enjoyable campaign, but don’t really go for it looking for a great online mode. You can probably get a few kicks out of playing with some friends, but it will get stale pretty fast.    … Expand

    Overall enjoyed the game tho i wish the game would let you pick character outfits anytime no matter if you're playing them or not,set them to outfits based on what type of mission there on if one at all and also stopped forceing them into new outfits that you can't change right away they also don't always stay in the outfit you picked in cut scenes also Ms marvel's Mystic Marvel outfitOverall enjoyed the game tho i wish the game would let you pick character outfits anytime no matter if you're playing them or not,set them to outfits based on what type of mission there on if one at all and also stopped forceing them into new outfits that you can't change right away they also don't always stay in the outfit you picked in cut scenes also Ms marvel's Mystic Marvel outfit bugs out in the final boss fight. Also why does Nick Furry start telling you how to play the game as if you just started playing after you already beat the game?

    Costumes and mud: First off i love how your charcter gets covered in mud, not every game does this and even the ones that do rarely look as good as this, as for the outfits tho most of Ms marvels are pretty good i either don't like the way thay look or they don't fit the vibe i'm going for there's really only two i'll end up using Mystic Marvel for a homemade look tho her hair does clip threw her hood, over all i really like this one a lot , and Event Horizon for a "real superhero" look also shoud be noted that her bag clips threw her chest for most of her outfits i'm really not a fa of clipping in games and these would have been easy to fix if they second checked to make sure the outfits didn't clip but not a big deal it just pisses me off a bit seeing clipping like that.
    I'm not really feeling any of the Hulk's outfits none of them really vibe with me or are just bad.
    The only Iron man suit i really like is jet stream the rest are either meh or bad.
    Black widow has two that i really like black and white and super spy.
    Most of cap's outfits are pretty good shockingly, he does have a few bad ones but out of all the characters cap has the most good outfits and tho i should hate avenging archer for looking dumb i low key love it it's like he's making a statement now that hes back or something.
    Thor's are kinda meh no real feelings for any of them.

    Story: Fine there's some dumb stuff that happens and some cringe moments but over all it's fine, there's one pretty cool moment early in the game were you're being chased by the Hulk that was fun.

    Gameplay: Tho i'm not a fan of button mashers as there all pretty easy no matter what difficulty you're on, but this one is actually fun with the right character and way more fun then the arkham batman games, marvel's Spider-man and the god of war games, yeah i just pissed off a whole lot people with that but it's true this game is way more fun even tho it's just a button masher.

    Combat: Ms.Marvel good,Thor pretty good but pretty awkward in his part of the final boss fight,Iron man okay but awkward ,Hulk pretty good,Black window not grate but not too bad ,Cap pretty good, Hawkeye haven't played yet, Kate haven't played yet, Black panther haven't played yet,Mighty Thor haven't played yet,Spider-man haven't played yet,Winter Soldier haven't played yet. (Will update as i play them)

    Platforming: The platforming in this game **** sucks and the floaty jumps don't help. Also why is Cap the only one who can wall run the fact that characters like hulk can't wall run and just stick to walls is really dumb.

    Puzzles: All puzzles are easy in a good way but some aren't always clear and doing them solo is a bit of a pain since the ai don't help nor can you tell them to stay put.

    Bugs: Enemies like spawning in walls/getting stuck in them sometimes even just falling out of the map not off of out of also Ms marvel's Mystic Marvel outfit bugs out in the final boss fight if you're wearing it.    … Expand

They could even add DLC and expand the game in the future! When it comes to the Avengers, we would never get enough of it.

    But no. Instead, they decided to transform this game in a 'service game', in the molds of Anthem, Destiny etc, making what would be a fantastic single-player game into multiplayer bullsh*t. Once you beat the story you access a never ending loop of grinding and predatory microtransactions. And this is quite sad, to be honest. This was supposed to be an amazing super-hero game, like Batman or Spiderman. But now, it's a cash-grab clone that preys on the player base. This game will be dead soon. And will not be remembered as "another example of an amazing hero game", but "that cash-grab avengers game".

    The story of Avengers is pretty basic. The villain's motivations aren't that compelling and the plot is filled with basic story beats you can see coming from a mile away. There was only one "twist" that I didn't see coming, but it still wasn't enough to make me more interested in the story. Other than that, I found the story to be pretty boring.

    Gameplay/Missions: 5/10
    The gameplay loop is fun for the first hour or so, it quickly becomes boring and repetitive. There isn't really any strategy involved in the combat. You mash square, triangle, and your long range attack while dodging sometimes to win fights. While every character looks different, they all basically play the same, besides Iron Man who has the most "unique" kit. This makes it easier to pick up the new characters as they join the team, but it makes the non-ability combat super bland.
    The hero abilities are the only real thing that set the heroes apart. Every hero has 3 abilities that range in usefulness. Most of the abilities just boost your damage for a short time or lets you dish out a huge amount of damage in one flashy attack. The most varied in these abilities is probably Black widow, who can stun a cluster of enemies, turn invisible, and then get an electric staff for her ultimate. Every other hero basically just has a damage boost, a one-shot move, and an ultimate which does one of the previously listed. There are some exceptions, but that's basically it.

    The missions in this game are as repetitive as the combat. Most of the time, you go to some big factory or some other kind of high tech AIM building and take down waves of the same bland robots you've been seeing since the first couple campaign missions. Speaking of, the campaign missions were mostly pretty boring. There were 4 really notable missions that I really liked; the opening A day mission, the Stark house mission, the mission where Thor appears, the Tony in Space mission, and the final mission. Those were all pretty damn fun and made me not regret the purchase. However, all of the other missions were decently bland, which is not good considering how all of the post-campaign missions are laid out almost exactly like them. I don't see a point to continue playing the game because of this. Besides to level up your heroes, there is no point. I will continue to play all of the hero updates, but for now I think I'm done with the game.

    Graphics: 4/10
    On my base PS4, this looks like a late PS3 game most of the time. During combat, the screen is completely blurry and fuzzy. It's sometimes hard to tell whats going on thanks to the millions of projectiles being shot at you from all directions at 20 FPS, and that's another problem. There are CONSTANT frame drops, even during cut scenes. I have never seen a game released in the past 2 years look and perform this bad. Textures also pop in and out randomly. In almost every cutscene, there is a very obvious texture that is not loaded in. I even had a glitch where Captain America's face flapped all over the place when talking, making a serious moment of the game make me laugh at how weird Cap looked. When the very rare moments come when this game does run well, it looks okay. Nothing super impressive, but passable for this late in a console generation. I have seen some PC clips and the game looks amazing most of the time. (I would have gotten it on PC if it weren't for Spider-Man...)

    Other Notes and Nit Picks:

    1. The micro transactions in this game seem useless. They're there only to get impatient people to buy skins they can unlock by playing.
    The cosmetics in this game are not the greatest. I only really like the pre-order skins and the final mission skins that make everyone look badass. I do not have any incentive to finish each heroes "battle pass", the skins just aren't that appealing to me.
    The nameplates and emotes seem very out of place. You see the nameplates only in the menus and the lobby, yet they're things they want you to be motivated to get? There's really no reason for emotes to be in the game other than to have more useless stuff to jam into the battle passes.

    2. The voice acting can be a little weird sometimes. They're the same big actors from every triple a game, but it seems like the voices don't fit the characters. Kamala, Tony, and Bruce have passable VA, but the other characters just sat weird with me. Same with the character designs, they just look like knock offs of the MCU actors.

    Overall, this game is a disappointment. I expected more from Square Enix. This game really isn't anything special, I would suggest only getting this game when its on sale.    … Expand

    Its disappointing how uninspired everything is, from the tired, repetitious level design to the drab environments, nameless enemies and the unnecessary loot structure. Although each character has a fairly unique moveset, the combat doesn't have a good feel to it and the fights lack impact. The game also runs very poorly on the PS4.

    There's a line near the end of the game, "You're no hero, you're a mistake"(see I played the entire campaign) and that is what this game is, ...a huge mistake that Square Enix clearly could not salvage.

Some parts of the game are definitely cool and it seems the cool stuff was finished early, but when it came to making an actual video game, somehow Square Enix... with their burgeoning market cap, could not find a way to release a finished game. I have absurd capture video of terrible, experience ruining bugs, from cut scenes... on a PS4 Pro. Even if you enjoyed the story, the terrible coding job leads to cut scenes with Steve Rogers eyeballs popping from his skull and his lips, seemingly, melted together; rendering anything thing he's saying as stupid looking.

    I ended up lowering the difficulty to Easy once I had to do a full solo Iron Man mission. The level design for the solo mission was just too stupid when you have no skills unlocked. The game goes from sorta fun, to fun, to broken game design that makes you want to never support video games with your money again.

    And on top of everything, the main mission story barely cuts together just like fights don't cut together with cut scenes. For $20, this is a "maybe" purchase; but $60 or more for this is an insult to gamers. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game as a service with the kind of robust story campaign with side missions worth $60. If companies like Square Enix want to make games like this, with short pathetic campaigns; charge $20.    … Expand

    As a Marvel fan it pains me to give this game a 5, but honestly playing through it and giving it as much of a chance as I could I feel this is where this game really lands. First off I'm sure you've heard about the bugs. They range from mildly amusing like watching Captain America's eyeballs pop out of his skull to straight up game breaking. Sometimes it becomes impossible to completeAs a Marvel fan it pains me to give this game a 5, but honestly playing through it and giving it as much of a chance as I could I feel this is where this game really lands. First off I'm sure you've heard about the bugs. They range from mildly amusing like watching Captain America's eyeballs pop out of his skull to straight up game breaking. Sometimes it becomes impossible to complete objectives as enemies glitch right through the floor. The campaign itself isn't bad but it gives so much unearned time to Ms.Marvel. Personally I think she is ok, but the way she steals the story from the Avengers in their own game is straight up criminal. You can have some fun with this game switching between your favorite Avengers, but the action is repetitive and gets dull quickly. Also many characters feel awkward and not like themselves. They have a plethora of great villains to choose from in the Marvel universe, but choose literally only three mediocre villains and a bunch of AIM robots. Oh ya and one last thing what is up with the way Thor's hammer sounds? Sounds like he's dribbling a basketball on enemies' faces.… 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.
