Marvel's Avengers Reviews
Marvel's Avengers' campaign is fun and endearing, but the loot-based post-game meant to be the meat of this meal is unrewarding and overly repetitive.
A likeable campaign can't make up for unexciting design.
A well-told campaign and story do their best to mask a rather scrawny service game beneath.
A snappy, fun campaign full of great VO ends too soon, and the game-as-service that comes after is paper thin
A jumbled mess that's trying to be at least three different types of game at once, drowning out the enjoyable combat with a tsunami of repetition and meaningless loot.
The amount of depth can be confusing at first, but you have plenty of reasons to keep playing in the endgame
Avengers feels like two separate games smashed together, and while they don't always sync up, both parts are linked by deep, intelligent combat spread across varied heroes.
OK multiplayer stitched onto a great campaign
Marvel’s Avengers isn’t the best comic book game out there, but it’s certainly the best team-based comic book game I’ve played. It’s not simply that it gathers iconic heroes together and lets me become them, but that each one of them is equally enjoyable.
If Marvel's Avengers was just the single-player story campaign, it would be amazing. There, Crystal Dynamics sells you on its version of the Avengers and introduces the charming and endearing Ms. Marvel to players everywhere. Combat has depth to it, and each hero truly feels distinct. Unfortunately, the endgame is where our heroes falter, with broken matchmaking, rough options in terms of progression, and endlessly reused environments and enemies. Surely, Marvel's Avengers will see improvements, but here at launch, the endgame needs a good deal of work.
Marvel’s Avengers is an identity crisis of a game. Moving from some excellent linear missions that capture Marvel fandom from the point of view of the fantastic Ms. Marvel, to a sudden smattering of seriously generic co-op missions featuring the most boring of enemies defending the most tedious of objectives, made me feel like I was moving between two entirely different games.
When Avengers isn't getting in the way of itself with its tacked-on campaign, it's a bit of silly arcade fun. If a lot of these concerns are answered via post-launch patches and the DLC characters are fun to play, there's plenty of room for improvement with Avengers. At launch, it's not going to wow everyone. Maybe Marvel wanted this out as soon as possible, but it could have used another delay.
War for Wakanda is an exotic expansion that serves up more than just a bonus character to play as. The painstaking detail and passion that has gone into building this corner of the Avengers universe is clear to see, the game being in a much better state since launch. However, for those who simply couldn't gel with the game's multiplayer mission structure or emphasis on loot, this is one battle the Black Panther is unlikely to win.

War For Wakanda is the best Marvel´s Avengers DLC for now. It adds a new hero (Black Panther) two new villains and some enemy types, but above all of it, we enjoyed visiting Wakanda, its jungles and royal palace finally feel "new" to the game. Sadly it´s short and we found some technical issues.

In general, Marvel's Avengers is a more than correct game that entertains and will give us many hours of entertainment with friends. The campaign mode is the best it has, although you must improve the multiplayer incentives if you do not want to be forgotten.

Past its flaws and behind the grind, Marvel's Avengers is still a fun superhero brawler that has plenty of room to grow in the coming months.
Marvel´s Avengers is a very ambitious game, with a spectacular single player campaign and multiplayer designed as a MMO, with enjoyable combat system and the promise of lots of content and new heroes incoming. Some missions can get repetitive.
