Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Reviews
Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite will probably please the competitive players with its very good netcode and new mechanics that bring new life to the classic series. However, the recycled cast and the lack of polishment in the single-player content can push away the more casual players.

A fast and exciting game with some successful changes and a decent amount of content, let down only by some lackluster presentation and a lack of a reason for those who prefer to play it alone to come back to it.

I have to admit, my first impressions of Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite weren't good.
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite lacks on the story front with a short campaign full of fan service moments, but it does provide a deep and satisfying gameplay. The lack of 3 vs. 3 battles is somewhat forgiven in the light of the more focused battles and the Infinity Gems add an interesting layer of strategy to the overall combat system.
Veterans will find a lot to sink their teeth into in this phenomenal iteration of Marvel vs. Capcom's unique gameplay, but the lacking presentation, weak story, and lacking roster might make it unappealing for newcomers.

For the moment, I'm confident in saying that Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite plays well, which is good, because everything that surrounds that base game is a hot mess. It deserves a lot of the initial terrible buzz it received because unless you have your hands on it, Infinite just looks like refried hell. The Vs. series has never exactly been known for its high production values, but for a major fighting game release in 2017, this borders on embarrassing. It's a fun game that's often difficult to look at, and more so than any balance patches or DLC, it could use a fresh coat of paint.
Marvel vs Capcom Infinite is a great fighting game right now, but it's just getting started.
With this new episode, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite retains its core elements while drastically modifying certain gameplay features in order to seduce as many newcomers as possible. While it might lose some of its core identity, the series gains however in a boost of accessibility, but I wish more work was done on the visual side of the game, especially when it comes to its roster which can be considered a little weak in comparison to previous entries in the franchise.
Good story, good gameplay. Poor technical level.

On the surface MvCI looks bland and lazy, but once you dive in you will find a fighting game that can stand with any other out there.
Even with all my complaints, I couldn't help but enjoy my time with Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite. I really, really enjoy playing the game and playing with the variety of characters - it's just a shame that when combining two amazing universes such as Capcom and Marvel so much feels restrained or held back. Infinite might be the next big esports fighter, but this feels like a rough launch.
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is a great fighting game with an ugly appearance. The main adjustments to the classic formula provide intense combats and many choices for creative players.

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.

Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite is not a bad game by any means; actually is a really entertaining title with interesting and solid gameplay mechanics, a balanced roster of characters and a fair ammount of game modes. It is sad that all of this gets tarnished by some hideous flaws like its story mode, questionable character design and the inexpressible removal of key characters and mechanics that were basic to the series.

... if you are tired of exploding your opponents' heads and turning each battle into a bloodbath in fighting games, you should try Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite just to have a different and "brighter" experience. Not everyone wants to brutally break their opponents back and watch it in X-ray!

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite’s Infinity Stones powered gameplay is truly remarkable, gamers will absolutely love the fast and highly controllable battle engine. Not all is great, it is a big shame that the visuals look undercooked and that the presentation is extremely dull.
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.
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.
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?
It's not as big and beautiful as I want it to be, but Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite still has plenty to offer.
