Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Reviews
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.
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 is, like football, a game of two halves. The actual fighting half, which is arguably the more critical 50% anyway, is fun and exciting. The other half is a bit confusing.
It's not as big and beautiful as I want it to be, but Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite still has plenty to offer.
Ultimately, we'll have to see how Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite develops as far as expanding its character roster with its (forthcoming) DLC, and how the hardcore community takes to the game after spending more time with it and learning its deeper mechanics. While it may not quite match the blend of style and substance that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 provided in the last generation, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite still provides an enjoyable romp with Earth's (and video gaming's) mightiest heroes, warts and all.
Overall, the core of Marvel vs Capcom Infinite is there, but it feels significantly held back by its adherence to only use MCU marvel characters. It hampered the roster and character design, two constant elements of the experience, and it's hard to overlook those and see the strong fighting system underneath.
'Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite' is crazy fun for esports pros and comic fans alike
It ultimately doesn't matter if you're upset with the roster, because at the end of the day Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is a great way to spend a night with friends. The combat feels smooth, the depth is there for dedicated players, and it's a much more feature-complete offering when compared to the launch version of Street Fighter V. There's a ton here to like, and those who dismiss it will only be missing out on one of Capcom's finest fighting games.
As somebody who's played each entry in the series, I couldn't help but feel a little slighted by Marvel. Despite this, I still really enjoyed the game. It's mechanically sound, and performs incredibly well online. At the time I sat down for this review, the game had almost completely overcome my objections. While it may not be my favorite fighter, it still has me reaching for the controller for more matches.
Good online options and genuinely fun gameplay mean that series fans will have plenty of incentive to keep fighting each other in the months to come.
The hyper-accelerated tag team brawling series returns with a beginner-friendly riot of mega combos – but the first casualty is nuance
This game doesn't feel like the next game in a long running series. This feels like a brand new game that exists only to promote the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite is a descent fighting game, but not nearly as good as the previous ones; mainly because a less good character design and a greedily implement of dlc content.

Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite can be recommended to all fans of the genre, as well as users, who likes noisy gaming parties with friends. Despite the mediocre graphics and weak story campaign, this is an extremely fun game with an excellent combat system and legendary characters.

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite makes a poor first impression with its lackluster visual style and a roster of characters that are missing many fan favorites.
A return to a 2v2 fighting style is marked with the addition of a handful of new mechanics, some of which completely change the way MvC is played, yet all of them work incredibly well.
Will Marvel vs Capcom Infinite be the bad student who will be laughed at for hours? No. Yes, developers have simplified things to make it more accessible than before, but at least they have never lied about their intentions. It is undeniable that it is easier to play, especially by the presence of "Super" almost automated, but this episode has still things to offer if you want to dig a little more. Indeed, The Stones of Infinity bring the game to another level, offering a more strategic side. Unfortunately, the graphics are a bit disapointing, especially with the competition which can be tough at this level. A good game to enjoy your evenings with your friends, failing to convince the most demanding players.

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite isn't the massive step back that was feared, but it's not exactly kept up with the frontrunners of the genre either. There's lots of fanservice in the daft melodrama of it's story, and the fighting itself is still flashy and as punchy as before. Just don't go in expecting an evolution of the series.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is more complete than Street Fighter V, and its accessible bouts fare favourably – even though they're likely to divide long-time franchise fans. But this package lacks the polish that you'd expect from such a high-profile title, and even accounting for its forgettable story, it still winds up feeling light.
