Marvel's Avengers Reviews
"Marvel's Avengers" proves to be an entertaining action bombast with a multi-layered story, an authentic protagonist and the right fan service. However, the fights sometimes lack the right depth, as the individual attacks are too generic overall. We also would have liked to have seen a little more variety in the creation of the side missions and the levels. Technically, "Marvel's Avengers" seems to be quite solid to us, even if some flaws can't be denied. Overall, "Marvel's Avengers" doesn't set any new standards in its genre - but fans of the successful series will certainly get their money's worth.

Marvel’s Avengers lets gamers live out their wildest superhero dreams, with its engaging action-fuelled gameplay complimented by a brilliant story and some frantic showdowns with foes. There’s a hell of a lot to dive into here that’ll keep players enjoying themselves for hours on end, with the character development, co-op missions, and sheer array of unlockables to earn offering plenty for players to sink their teeth into. Add to that an entertaining campaign and it’s clear to see that Marvel’s Avengers is something special. Unfortunately, it’s not without its flaws thanks to a boring loot system, a lack of mission variety post-completion, and the occasional technical hiccup. These issues are not problematic enough to make Marvel’s Avengers feel like a bad game or any less fun to play, but they’re definitely noticeable and could do with improving. Still, with the promise of continued support through new superheroes and missions, the future is pretty bright for the game. It might have some issues, but there’s one hell of a good time to be had adventuring with Marvel’s Avengers.
The Reassemble story campaign shows that Marvel's Avengers offers a lot of promise, but the Avengers Initiative mode failed to capitalize on it so far.

Marvel’s Avengers does so much right when just being a game, but ultimately fails when trying to be the game Crystal Dynamics wants, which is an obvious Destiny clone.
Finally, we conclude that Marvel’s Avengers game is one of the most frustrating and weak experiences of recent times, offering a boring and unforgettable experience; It may seem glamorous in appearance, but the final experience is very superficial and repetitive, relying solely on the name and reputation of the Avengers franchise. Due to the service-oriented nature of the game, it is possible to improve it in the future, but at this time and in the current situation, we do not recommend the Marvel’s Avengers game experience at all.

Marvel’s Avengers is just not a fun game. It’s a vapid, boring, buggy, uninspiring mess of a live service that tries to jump on the band-wagon and falls flat on its face doing so.
To lead an original Avengers story, to take some of the most beloved characters in the multi-verse and to build something that attracts new enthusiasts as well as respect and engage the super fans alike is bold, brave and sadly just a little out of reach for this developer. Yet, there’s enough on show here to keep the audience playing and exploring the world created by Shaun Escayg and the writing team at Crystal Dynamics.
Beyond the horrible repetition and seemingly tacked-on multiplayer, Marvel’s Avengers genuinely features a golden single-player narrative. Kamala Khan is one of the best and most surprising additions to the game. Her highly relatable personality is exceptionally geeky, and pushes the campaign in wonderful, albeit cliched, directions. Character progression can be a bit tedious outside of single player, with a handful of missions, bosses, and enemies that tick the necessary boxes at first. Sadly, the very same aspects that work exceptionally well in single-player serve as nothing more than unnecessary effort and filler in multiplayer. At its core, Marvel’s Avengers has a serious identity crisis. It absolutely is worth picking up for any comic book fan to enjoy the super narrative, but ultimately has very little replay value for anyone who dislikes monotonous grinding.
Marvel’s Avengers suffers from an identity crisis. It tries to do too many things at once and that leaves you with an experience that's torn between two points. It has a single-player campaign that does a fantastic job of harnessing the Marvel universe into an exciting and action-packed set of events.
Avengers is a highly inconsistent title with great narrative and gameplay. On the other hand, uninteresting content and noticeable repetitiousness can pretty quickly discourage you from playing the game. Similarly, there's another big issue with the technical side of the title, which makes it almost impossible to play the game smoothly. However, we do believe that in time, the developers will eliminate such problems by new content and patches.

Marvel's Avengers is an adventure with these beloved heroes that we have never witnessed before in a video game of that massive scale. With a grappling story and interesting narrative angles, it gets the job done for about 15 hours, if you decide to go at it without stopping for a side quest. But, borrowing different elements from genre defining games to create a base for your story is not cutting it to the extend the developers intended, because everything looks like a medicore mass up of God of War gameplay with a Destiny-like inventory and loot system, that also ticks the cinematic

The avengers bring unique gameplay for each of it’s 6 heroes in this action adventure looter, while it looks great and plays good enough, the coop does standout specially with friends, although some parts become a chore specially with the repetitive scenarios and enemies.

Marvel’s Avengers doesn’t appear like any other Game as a Service. Crystal Dynamics did a great job on single player, but the multiplayer mode feels boring and repetitive. There are a lot of useless and irrelevant activities and the quality of the endgame is so cheap.

Despite it having its fair share of issues, Marvel's Avengers is the licensed Destiny clone that is more than just that.
Despite its criticalities, Marvel's Avengers is a game that managed to involve me and have a lot of fun, giving me many hours in the company of friends and my dear superheroes. For anyone who is a fan of the Avengers like myself, this is a game not to be missed, especially considering that over time, being one of those titles followed by the developers for at least two years after their release, numerous other heroes with related missions will be added. We leave each other in the hope that this project interwoven between Crystal Dynamics and Marvel can evolve and improve itself to the best of its possibilities, especially considering the mistakes made in this, although still very enjoyable, first introductory chapter.

In almost every respect, Marvel's Avengers is a confused title with a grinding structure that takes an Infinity War to reach its true Endgame.
Marvel's Avengers is a little disappointing. There are some excellent moments in the campaign, but they get bogged down by the technical (and social) ambitions of the game.
Marvel’s Avengers feels like it has stolen ideas from other games only to implement them unsuccessfully. Level design is ordinary, and the missions are forgettable. The customisation saves the game, but with overpriced cosmetics, it is hard to justify the point of grinding. The gameplay is filled with glitches and bugs, making it hard for you to find any rhythm. Overall, Marvel’s Avengers is an average experience that you can find better elsewhere.
While the prospect of a multiplayer Avengers game is ripe with potential, Marvel’s Avengers is an experience stuck between two worlds. While its campaign is worth experiencing if you’re a fan, it’s hard to deny that the combat, gearing system, and presentation values are underbaked, leaving the core experience uninteresting and flat.
All in all, I was surprised that I had as much fun with Marvel’s Avengers as I did. I still dislike the loot system and the microtransactions keeping me away from the best costumes but there is a good Marvel game beneath these elements.
