Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Reviews
An instantly likeable game hiding a brutal edge that demands mastery. Balance is concerning, but partially mitigated by an extensive roster.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is a solid fighting game at its core, but the experience is hampered by a boring story mode, glaring roster omissions, and poor graphics.
Great fighting, but a drab art style and disappointing roster of characters let the side down.
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.
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
Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite is a deep and rewarding fighting game for both hardcore and casual players alike, but has a few rough edges.
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's gameplay lives up to its predecessors, but in most other ways, it takes you for a ride.
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 continues the franchise's tradition for packing a punch with its depth and replayability, but the lackluster campaign, abysmal secondary modes and middling presentation do little to help justify the full-price tag. Those dedicated to the series and genre will likely be pleased with what the latest entry has to offer, but those outside the bubble would be better off waiting for a bigger roster, and hopefully, updates and additions to the current offerings.
It's not as big and beautiful as I want it to be, but Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite still has plenty to offer.
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.
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.
The biggest leap that Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite has taken in comparison to the older installments is in the addition of gameplay elements that allow new players to enjoy the events of the title without getting frustrated while also providing the opportunity for more seasoned players to take advantage of their skills better with a roster of 30 playable characters and multiplayer competitions that don't have any technical problems. However, the game lacks a few popular characters and its campaign mode does not advance the story very much.

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 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.

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.
