Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Reviews
While Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite's tag-team fights are like a bolt of lightning from Mjolnir, its story is dreadful and its characters look like they were deliberately designed to spawn a million derpy memes. It manages to be easily one of the worst and also one of the best fighting games in recent memory all at once. Like its heroes and villains, it's stuck between two worlds.
Great fighting, but a drab art style and disappointing roster of characters let the side down.
An instantly likeable game hiding a brutal edge that demands mastery. Balance is concerning, but partially mitigated by an extensive roster.
It plays as well as the series ever has, and is far more accessible than previous entries, but there's infinite for improvement in terms of the roster and presentation.
Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite has a solid core and Infinity Stones make fights tactical. If only it didn't have to live up to the expectations set by its excellent predecessors.
These high-flying brawls deliver on the spectacle and the action has a great flow, but the main story mode leaves a lot to be desired
It's hard to deny how much of a blemish Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite's visuals are, but it would still be a mistake to skip this entry for that reason alone. The fast tagging system and the Infinity Stones change up the series' standard mechanics and open up so many options for creative play, no matter your skill level. Infinite is expressive, exciting and fun to play, but the visuals inspire more eyerolls than the hype this series deserves.
Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite is a deep and rewarding fighting game for both hardcore and casual players alike, but has a few rough edges.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite's gameplay lives up to its predecessors, but in most other ways, it takes you for a ride.
Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite is full package, offering a fun Story Mode, online play, local Versus action, and a roster of 30 fighters. The issue is how many of those fighters are returning from the previous game, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Even with the inclusion of the reality-warping Infinity Stones, Capcom can't change the reality that it feels like Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite needed more new blood.
I feel like Capcom finally was able to settle on a formula that doesn't feel too experimental, while at the same time not being so safe that it's a bore. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is sterile on the surface, but a functional as hell fighter. I'm fine with that. Are you?
Infinite is a great fighting game, which succeds in mixing both universes with a great combat system. Combat feels great, but it falls short on game modes and unlockables.

It's always nice to see Marvel and Capcom working together on a fighting game and Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is still a great fighting game with neat ideas. Infinity Stones are a breath of fresh air, and going back to a less chaotic 2v2 format makes it more playable at a lower level, but ultimately some of the silliness and wonder has been sucked out of its DNA. For the hardcore audience, it'll still play wonderfully and I had fun, but casual players will find little to sing and dance about.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite has some noteworthy kinks, but for all of its warts, it still feels like a Marvel game at its core. And while it's not always pleasant to look at, it's still every bit as fun to play as its predecessors. Capcom even seems to have gone the extra mile with its netcode, as I experienced minimal lag during all of my online matches.
A good but not great beat'em up that does everything perfect inside of the ring, but doesn't offer enought variety outside of it.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is more or less everything I'd hoped for as a fighting game nerd, but more casual players might find themselves wanting more.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite offers a very good and funny gameplay, but the game lacks in contents, expecially if compared to a lot of other beat'em ups you can play this year.

In a big year for fighting games, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite squares up to its rivals confidently. With a healthy amount of content, it makes up for the lacklustre launch of Street Fighter V, despite not being quite as good.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite may have some flaws with its visuals and roster, but its gameplay is so strong that its not too hard to overlook them.
