    The story and everything that comes with it is a real highlight, allowing the exceptional Kamala Khan to take the lead and bring with her enjoyable combat systems and fun parkour. The shocking framerate, along with bugs and glitches, should be fixed in the near future, but it's what the game has you do after the credits roll that quickly becomes its biggest downfall. Marvel's Avengers has a single player campaign that thoroughly excites, surprises, and delights. What follows brings it crashing back down to Earth.

    Marvel’s Avengers’ biggest mistake is that it wants to be a game you can play forever, without offering the variety to sustain such ambitions. Its cast of characters – spanning household names like Captain America and Iron Man – all have entertaining combat suites, but once you’ve reassembled Earth’s ultimate God Squad across the ten or so hour campaign, you’ll be left repeating the same activities over and over with no obvious, ahem, endgame.

    On a PS5 the game looks great, plays well, and loads up quickly. However, none of that can overcome the uninspired level design and lack of enemy variety. So despite the technical improvements, the game has not become more fun to play. The two DLCs add characters whose power sets are too similar. The main saving grace here is that the campaign stories are interesting enough to warrant a playthrough in solo mode. Unless there is some major gameplay tweaking Marvel Avengers doesn’t look like it will assemble to become an ongoing gaming service. To sum it up, I came for the gameplay but only stayed because of the story.

    While the content shortage and cross-play challenges still exist, performance problems are eliminated, and bugs almost entirely eradicated by the next-gen console launch of The Avengers. Stability issues remain, but with the promise of a more consistent launch of content, the future is a little bit brighter for The Avengers.

    At times, Marvel's Avengers struggles to unify a thoughtful story focus with a more momentum-based, action-heavy live game system--but both have their good qualities.

    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.

    Super delay!

    It's a good game for fans, though; It has many points to improve, the parrys are difficult to achieve, not impossible, but it takes a bit of work for a small delay that it has. I played on PS5 and it has a glitch in a hawk eye mission that no longer lets me advance in the story. Es un buen juego para fans, sin embargo; tiene muchos puntos que mejorar, los parrys son dificiles de lograr, no imposible pero cuesta un poco de trabajo por un pequeño delay que tiene. Jugue en PS5 y tiene un glitch en una misión de hawk eye que ya no me dejo avanzar en la historia.

    Marvel's Avengers

    You know a game is bad when playing as Iron Man is boring and Thor's Mjolnir is a basic hammer. It broke my heart to see how frustrating and bad this game is. This game had so much potential and could have started a parallel MCU like universe for Marvel games. The only good part of the game was the first mission where the game switches all the avengers one by one and was actually well done. After that it was like Thanos snapped all the fun out of this game. The game is filled with generic robots, boring missions, 2-3 super-villains and similar looking labs and maps over and over again. The gameplay mainly involves punching stationary robots, standing in an area until Jarvis hacks the door or clearing the area out of the enemies. The dodge in this game is infuriating and doesn't work. The worst thing is the microtransaction and loot. The gear changes stat which you do not feel during gameplay, it doesn't changes how you look making it pretty useless since there is a button to just pick the best mods in your inventory, so you don't even bother checking what it does. The skill tree is so passive that you don't even care. All the costumes need to be paid with real cash. I am glad this kind of MTX filled game failed badly. I hope the rights to Marvel games are handed over to Insomniac or some other studio who will do the characters justice and truly open up a gaming Marvel Universe like Rocksteady did to Batman.

    I love superheroes!

    I don't really get the hate this game is getting. Probably because of its microtransactions and the fact that it is being grindy. But for me, from a point of view of a superhero fan, I enjoyed this game a lot. I only played the campaign mode and still trying to grind to unlock its abilities for each character. Yes, it's a bit grindy. But that's what a game is. A superhero game is. Although how I wish they added a split-screen multiplayer mode for this one. Overall, I love the characters, especially the campaign story. **VISUALS** _Artistry: 12/12_ _Technical Merit: 7/8_ **SOUND DESIGN** _Music: 9/12_ _Sound Effects & Vocals: 7/8_ **INTERACTION** _Control & Interface: 5/8_ _Player Agency: 5/8_ _Accessibility:4/4_ **MECHANICS** _Feedback & Fun: 9/10_ _Depth: 3/5_ _Variety: 3/5_ **CHARACTER** _Narrative: 8/8_ _Heart: 5/6_ _Originality: 5/6_

    Amazing game. I am a huge fan of the Avengers so was excited when I heard this game was coming out. Yes it needs some work but the fact that we will continuously get new content and characters is a bonus. Thank you to the developers.
