With so many characters to level up, skill trees to unlocks, and crystals to collect there's tons to enjoy here long after the campaign finishes. Initial load times are bit a long, but once missions begins it's all action. All in all, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is a superb game that should be enjoyed by Marvel and action fans alike.

While the game isn't perfect, this is easily the best Marvel Ultimate Alliance title. With a large and diverse roster, a fun story, and plenty of trials to keep you busy, the game is teeming with content. It's never been a better time to get some friends together, create a dream team of heroes, and just wreck house.

With its biggest roster to date, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is filled with familiar fan favorites and a few obscure additions, but is slightly bogged down by a dated camera system and some oddly timed difficulty spikes which, if players can look past these few flaws, is still sure to be enjoyed and supported for years to come.

GoldenEye. God of War. Halo. Super Mario Odyssey. Games worth buying an entire console to play are a rare breed. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is not one of them. That is not to say it isn’t a great first entry by Team Ninja as it is. For Ultimate Alliance fans the 10-year wait has certainly been worth it. With the minor slip-ups in the development though I cannot recommend investing in a Nintendo Switch just to become part of the Marvel universe no matter how fun that might be for fans of the Marvel universe.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 feels a lot like opening a time capsule. It has so much in common with games from a decade ago that it might have been released back then. Fun moments are there to be found if you don't mind fighting a camera, frame-rate stutter and sifting through menus and load screens as you fight wave after wave of hard-hitting health sponges.

Still, the overall experience of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is good. It delivers a fantastic arcade beat em’ up that is a lot more fun with a friend that can actually do something. The roster of character makes it a dream Marvel game and the entire buffet of characters, even the supporting ones and villains, makes it a great adventure of discovery. I had no idea some of these people existed and that was the joy of it all.

With this super hero assemble Ultimate Alliance 3 don't have to hide behind the movies. Exploring every new hero, location and rank keeps on getting better and better over the course of the game. If you don't like marvel movies you still get a fun co-op gameplay paired with a lot of variation between the fights. Besides some camera issues and often losing sight of what is going on in the fights you get a good mix between powerful fights and lots of well known faces from the marvel universe.

The Ultimate Alliance comes roaring back with this Nintendo Switch exclusive. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 pulls inspiration for Marvel comics, movies, TV, and more to create an homage to the brand's long history. Unfortunately, some camera issues and general readability mar the overall experience, and the alternate costumes fall short of the Ultimate Alliance standard. Despite that, this is a great couch co-op adventure with all your Marvel favorites.

There are also some minor frame-rate dips in handheld mode when things get particularly flashy on-screen, but not enough to ruin the experience. The camera can also be a bit finicky in enclosed areas, but these are small nitpicks.
