    Even with all these issues though I kept playing on. There is a lot to be said about the sheer amount of characters and being able to team them up together. Playing with friends is also much more enjoyable than flying solo, when it works properly. The upcoming DLC is exciting, the return of a mindless beat ‘em up feels good, and I just love a solid comic book title. I don’t think the price of admission is worth it in the end, but when this hits $30-$40 I definitely recommend it. There is plenty here for Marvel and non-Marvel fans to enjoy.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order lets players hop into a galactic battle against Thanos. For a Marvel fan who enjoys RPG mechanics this is a fun buy, especially with others to play with. Some spotty online moments but well worth the fun.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order doesn't try to be more than it is, a fun romp with characters everyone has come to know over the past decade. While fighting with the camera can be frustrating at times, the game itself is extremely enjoyable especially if you're a fan of Diablo-style RPGs. Additionally, it serves as a great stepping on point for anyone unfamiliar with the franchise and is accessible to any and all fans.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is that kind of game that’s loads of fun, even if it’s technically not that great. It’s not a looker, there are some pretty substantial camera issues, music is underwhelming, and the plot is standard, but when you’re playing, it doesn’t matter. The voicing acting talent is some of the best fan service I’ve ever seen, with Team Ninja assembling the most classic VA for each hero.

    Altogether, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 innovates upon the original titles, creating the first fully-rounded Ultimate Alliance title. The depth provided is welcomed, even if it did leave less time to polish synergy attacks and the camera controls. Whether you are looking for a Marvel game or just want a fully-fledged RPG, there is fun to be had with Ultimate Alliance 3.

    However, strong post-launch support like this only really matters if the game itself is worth playing, and we can't really say that about Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. At its best, the game is a mediocre brawler, and at its worst, it is an incoherent mess with a nightmare camera, frustrating battles, and ugly graphics. Anyone hoping for a return to form for the franchise will be disappointed, to say the least.

    MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order

    If you still can't move on with the Avengers End game movie, this game is a must-try. Like seriously bro. Imagine most of the iconic marvel heroes of all time being in a single video game. That's too awesome. I won't spoil anything on this one, but you gotta have to read the comics to better understand some of those heroes. Especially, Elsa Bloodstone and crystal. This was the 3rd series of its title by the way. I've waited for like 10 years for this game to come out. Literally! it's worth the wait. This game also includes X-Men and Fantastic 4 as a DLC on the other end. The storylines are not really related to the previous titles. But at least we got the Infinity Saga. This is a must-try for all Marvel fans out there. **VISUALS** _Artistry: 10/12_ _Technical Merit: 7/8_ **SOUND DESIGN** _Music: 10/12_ _Sound Effects & Vocals: 7/8_ **INTERACTION** _Control & Interface: 8/8_ _Player Agency: 7/8_ _Accessibility: 4/4_ **MECHANICS** _Feedback & Fun: 9/10_ _Depth: 3/5_ _Variety: 4/5_ **CHARACTER** _Narrative: 6/8_ _Heart: 4/6_ _Originality: 4/6_

    love this game, one of many reason i bought Switch is because this game is exclusive for Switch, i've played previous series, gameplay is good, graphics is really good, story is.. well a typical comic book story, selection of heroes, now that is the best, with a season pass, you can have a lot, i love Moonknight and Punisher, the last update is Fantastic 4, well it's far better than the last movie (hahahaa..)
