    If I were to write a short summary, it would be: "Anthem, but with a better single player story."

    The single player story is decent enough. Typical superhero fare, better than amateur fanfiction, passable as a story in its own right. Had the rest of the game been this way, it probably would have been much better. Instead, this game is like Jekyll and Hyde (or Banner and Hulk): Two disparate experiences that only have strands of similarities.

    Once you get through the relatively short campaign, you hit the live service grind and, well, that's where all the Anthem comparisons begin. Sluggish, buggy combat. Boring, generic locales. Uninspired gameplay loop and reward designs. Braindead, predictable AI, both enemy and ally. Buggy textures and models. Broken matchmaking and multiplayer. Framerate drops. Shoddy camera. SYSTEM CRASHES.

    The game tries too hard to be a live service game, throwing everything and the kitchen sink at you -- but they forgot to include rewarding gameplay. All of these games are repetitive by their very nature but the best live service and looter style games find ways to make these loops enjoyable and something you WANT to come back to. With Avengers (much like Anthem), the combat and loot loops are so mundane, so boring, and so buggy that you'll become numb to them within a matter of hours. Not days or weeks or months -- hours. And that's where the real disappointment begins to set in.

    I can't help but wonder how much better this could have been if Crystal Dynamics had been allowed to make this game in the same style as their Tomb Raider series instead of having to push the "live service" model. Just as I often wonder what could have been with Anthem had BioWare been able to just make it a standard BioWare RPG rather than EA's attempt at a Destiny clone. And that's the final, possibly most damning, comparison: Avengers is CD's 'Anthem' in that their publisher wanted a game to try and suck up those live service dollars going to Destiny and Division and others, so the publisher pushed their dev studio into a game genre they have little to no experience in. The end result shows. This is no longer 2014 and 2015 when we were at the start of a new console generation, looter shooters were still new (-ish, Borderlands notwithstanding) and people were willing to give games like Destiny and Division time to right their wrongs and mature. No one waited for Anthem to mature, and no one is going to wait for Avengers to mature -- especially not with the new generation of consoles right around the corner and new experiences to be had.

    I give the game a 4 solely for the story mode. It's not worth anything higher than that. If you want to play the story, give it a month and it'll be on sale. Give it two to three months and, like Anthem, it'll be bargain bin.    … Expand

Kamala Khan got a bit cringe over time but in overall the campaign is the best part of this package,7/10.
    There simply is not enough content for a 60$ game. The Gameplay is good but it feels weak with some Heroes like Thor.
    The Multiplayer is a repetitive disaster. Poorly designed and garbage missions! It is buggy as hell and it simply is not motivating and because of the many bugs it is not really fun with friends.
    In Overall, this game would be a 6 or a 7 out of 10 if it was for like 30$. But it is a 60$ game with not enough content, a short campaign, and a repetitive and buggy Multiplayer. This is the most average game you can think of. If Square Enix releases free DLC for the campaign, fixes the disastrous messy Multiplayer, I'll be back.    … Expand

    Ao que parecia ser o jogo perfeito dos Vingadores, se tornou uma completa catástrofe, não se deixem levar pela capa bonita ou pelos heróis de cinema, o jogo é RUIM, e eu pontuarei a seguir desde problemas técnicos a problemas de marketing, ele NÃO vale o dinheiro de lançamento, quem avisa amigo é...

    1- PROBLEMAS TÉCNICOS
    Otimização terrível mesmo com requisitos acima dos recomendados.
    Stutters, quedas bruscas de FPS e Crashando em momentos completamente aleatórios
    ________________________________________

    2- PROBLEMAS NO JOGO EM SI.
    O jogo começa muito bem em uma forma linear, mas sua qualidade despenca a partir das primeiras missões na Mesa de Guerra, o jogo se torna completamente maçante e com uma narrativa fraca, com mapas cheios de informações na tela, chegando a deixar o jogador tonto...
    O combate é excelente... nas primeira horas...
    Inimigos se resumem apenas a robôs, robôs e robôs genéricos, e são sempre o mesmos que aparecem ao longo da campanha inteira, fora os mesmos 2 tipos de Boss que são reciclados o tempo todo.

    Os objetivos das missões? Geralmente ir do ponto A ao ponto B, matando e matando mais robôs, com alguns “puzzles” simples e porcos pelo caminho apenas para dar uma falsa sensação de diversidade, alem de ter muito grind, tudo é EXTREMAMENTE REPETITIVO.

    O mapas são simples e sem graça, repleto de plataformas flutuando sem sentido, causando uma confusão visual enorme, trazendo uma ambientação tecnológica genérica e o sistema de Gear é desnecessário e raso, tendo que trocar a todo tempo a cada 4 minutos...
    ________________________________________

    3- EXCLUSIVIDADE SPIDER-MAN

    Gostaria de pontuar um problema que alguns podem julgar como “pequeno”, mas convido-lhes a analisar comigo.

    Práticas de exclusividade em jogos multi-plataforma não devem ser vistas por jogadores como algo “normal” nos dias atuais, pois se trata de práticas ultrapassadas, gananciosas e abusivas, visando apenas lucro das empresas e desrespeitando os fãs. Além de desmotivar completamente a compra do jogo em outras plataformas...

    A Sony ao contrário do que muitos acham, detém apenas os direitos dos filmes do personagem, todo o resto envolvendo Games, HQs, Brinquedos e etc, cabem unicamente a Marvel, real detentora do Cabeça de Teia.
    A exclusividade sem sentido foi anunciada sem aviso ou explicações por parte da desenvolvedora (CD) ou da distribuidora (SE), um dos maiores descasos com os jogadores que presenciei em toda minha vida acompanhando a indústria dos Games, uma completa falta de ética profissional excluir cerca de 60% da Playerbase do jogo, beneficiando apenas a Sony ($$$$).

    Aos que acham besteira toda essa reclamação sobre a exclusividade de um único personagem (é apenas uma DLC eles dizem), eu lhes digo; um jogo ao estilo “Live Service” onde absolutamente TODO conteúdo lançado posteriormente é tão importante quanto o jogo base, trancar um personagem em uma plataforma é LITERALMENTE CORTAR grande conteúdo das outras, tendo em vista que não apenas o mesmo será exclusivo, como também sua missão especial contando com um vilão único.
    além de tudo isso, Spider-Man é o super-herói MAIS popular da Marvel, tentam nos empurrar de que não pretendiam coloca-lo no jogo e então “veio a Sony chegando sem ninguém esperar e propondo o financiamento do personagem”... patético... Apenas vejam como exemplo o LEGO Marvel, Super Heroes 1/2 e Avengers, Marvel vs Capcom Infinity (todos multi plataforma) e também o Ultimate Alliance 3 exclusivo do Switch, o aranha está EM TUDO.
    NÃO ACEITEM ISSO, NÃO ACEITEM MIGALHAS, NÃO APOIEM ESSE TIPO DE PRÁTICA NA INDUSTRIA, POIS SÓ TENDE A PIORAR....

    Fora a exclusividade e otimização porca, nota-se um desrespeito gigantesco com os jogadores de PC.
    Eu nunca me senti tão destratado, apenas por ter escolhido uma plataforma diferente para jogar...
    ________________________________________

    4- CONCLUSÃO
    Marvel Avengers é um jogo medíocre, sem alma e sem amor, feito nas pressas com o objetivo de lucrar o MAXIMO de dinheiro possível, apoiando-se no nome “Vingadores” que é extremamente popular no mundo todo e sugando os fãs o máximo que podem.
    (Acordos de exclusividades e microtransações já anunciadas comprovam isso.)

    Uma pena, pois o sonho da Kamala de conhecer seus heróis era parecido com o meu..
    Quem dera poder conhecê-los através de sua gameplay e de uma experiencia agradável com cada personagem.
    Um sonho de infância que é destruído com tanto egoísmo e práticas sem sentido.

    É como se a Kamala quisesse conhecer seus heróis.. mas um deles está preso em um lugar distante sem acesso, e os outros estão completamente deturpados e usados como máquinas de fazer dinheiro....

    The game is pretty but that is all it has going for it. Otherwise, it's just a reskin of Anthem but with a story. Had this game has been more a Marvels Ultimate Alliance experience it would have been welcomed, instead it is turned into a cash cow and Crystal Dynamics are going on my naughty list.

There are some campaign missions that were really enjoyable! That’s really where the positives stop. The biggest gripe is that there is no customization regarding the equipment. The only way to change the look of your character is to change their skin. Additionally, a lot of the missions are really repetitive and if you’re playing alone the AI controlled characters are beyond brain dead. Arguably one of the biggest “issues” is that they didn’t use the the faces of the MCU Avengers. They used a hodgepodge of comic based Avengers. While that’s ok it really doesn’t help the game because let’s face it we all associate Tony Stark with Robert Downey and so on with the other Avengers. Overall this game wasn’t the home run we all wanted it to be. Is it a bad game? No. But don’t spend $60 on it, maybe once it it drops down to $30 it will be worth looking into. However by then there probably won’t be anyone playing so you’ll be stuck with the brain dead AI.… Expand

Then you have this story that if you read the title of the game should be about the avengers, however the story really centers around Ms. Marvel who I absolutely do not really care about or understand why she would be put to the forefront of the story when the game is called Marvel's Avengers. It should have been centered around the Avengers instead of this inconsequential character known as Ms. Marvel. The story is just flat out boring because Ms. Marvel actually works better as a side character than as the main character she just is not interesting enough to lead a game or movie. the part I got to was where you had to grind replaying missions in order to getr esources so you can build some special suits. It just seemed like padding that was being used in order to extend the length of an already short, boring game. This padding reminds me of Rage 2 where you get to the end game mission, but cannot play it until you get all your ally characters to level 5 by completing all these repetitive activities. sure it extended the game by a couple hours, but all it did was waste the players time when that time would be better spent playing something else. That is how I felt about Marvel's Avengers, like Anthem, Marvel's Avengers was hyped incredibly high, but failed to live up to it. I never finished the game, I found it boring and repetitive, so I turned it into gamestop and got 30 bucks for it and used that to buy another game. I got the deluxe edition, so I feel especially burned. In short, do not buy this game, or if you really want to play a superhero game wait until it is discounted so severely that you won't waste too much money on it. It was a lazy game filled with corporate greed that is not worth 60 dollars.… Expand

I got about 20% into the game, when I realized that I was missing out on a few key elements of the game and wanted to go back and replay some of the levels that seemed open world-esq. They were in fact not. So all the fun little asides I missed, and easter eggs I didn't find, were forever missed. On top of that, a whole in game dynamic of "DNA keys" we not available when I played certain missions (as I had not collected them), and since I couldn't go back to those areas those chests were forever lost. On top of that, some of the chests were just inaccessible because I chose the wrong character who couldn't open a door. How in the world Ms Marvel can slap here way though a door, but my Hulk Buster Armour doesn't leave a dent is beyond me. On the whole, this is just poor game design. If you're going to have missions you cant replay, go with the Assassin's Creed approach and at least make the areas accessible again so you can go get the chests you missed and actually let the player feel like they've completed something rather leaving them with an empty feeling of having missed out.

    So with that being said if you aren't a completist, and just want to run and gun and smash the hell out of enemies, have at this game because its the sort of mindless garbage you will enjoy. Even I loved just being Iron Man or Hulk (although If I have to hear Tony Stark tell me he likes PIE one more time when I take down an enemy, I am going to smash something for real). BUT... and this is a big one here... If you are the type of person who wants to get the most out of a game, RUN RUN RUN the other way, there is nothing but disappointment and empty promises from a developer that clearly doesn't get the fanbase here and is is relying on the sort of fan service that set the DCEU up for failure.

    Special note to Kevin Feige (who will never actually read this), lets hope you never see what they've done here because it's a sad pandering to Marvel Comic and MCU fans that falls flat on its face.    … Expand

    Now that Marvel's Avengers is dirt cheap, it might be worth a play for the impressive action sequences and impressive visuals. Maybe with enough people picking it up at a much more agreeable price, it might inject the tedious co-op modes. It certainly did not deserve the utter disdain it received, and was at best just a corporate, tone-deaf project that nobody wanted. It is rotten with executive sleaze for sure, and the game can feel like work a lot of the time due to the grind, but there is an ok experience in this somewhere. It is buried beneath all the obnoxious writing, grinding, and generic design.

    Avengers has the legs for a good games as a service model. It can stand on its own for a while, and with new content coming as soon as this month, it should keep things fresh. Now, that doesn’t mean monotony won’t set in, it most certainly does. Especially after finishing the best part of the game – the story missions. These types of games live and breathe on their player base and so far, it’s been alright. Only time will tell, and we’ll see how long Avengers is supported. While right now, Marvel’s Avengers is a good game that has a few issues here and there, but a fun time nonetheless, in a year’s time, it could very well be a great game with more varied content. There is most certainly the potential for that here. Let’s hope it actually happens.
