PLAYMay 4, 2021One of the better upgrades we’ve seen can’t prevent the feeling that this delayed update is still lacking in content, and it’s now more of a concern than ever. [Issue#1, p.92]

Mar 23, 2021The technical upgrade just makes the game run better. Cutscenes that struggle and stutter on PS4 run smoothly on PS5. Some of the game's previously long load times have been cut to virtually nothing. A few spots, like the pre-mission character select screen, still take a little time to work through, but the time to get in and out of missions has improved substantially.

Mar 21, 2021The technical prowess of Marvel's Avengers on PS5 is impressive; the game has never looked better and the endless load times are a thing of the past. The new content that launched alongside the current-gen update is nothing to write home about, however, and there isn't much here for players who finished the base game at launch. The upcoming Black Panther campaign and new DLC content might fix that, but Hawkeye isn't enough on his own. The PS5 version of Marvel's Avengers is the definitive version of the game for players who held off at launch, as the frustrating technical issues are gone, but the game hasn't quite received the content overhaul that it needs to win back the crowd that's already experienced it.

Mar 28, 2021There will be case studies written about this release, because it should have been a sure-fire slam dunk, and yet it feels like a missed opportunity. Make no mistake, the title has improved since launch – and with the announcement of Black Panther, developer Crystal Dynamics remains committed to iterating on it for the foreseeable future – but as we alluded to in our Marvel’s Avengers PS4 review, there’s a disconnect between the promise of this product and what it actually offers.
