Marvel’s Avengers has proven to be a pleasant surprise, even if its live service identity arguably hinders the true potential of its world, story and characters. Engaging combat and rewarding progression have established a solid foundation for Crystal Dynamics to build upon with new heroes and scenarios in the months and years to come.

A varied, enjoyable cast of characters at launch; Each hero plays differently with its own path of progression; A loving homage to the comic universe that’s been crafted with care ; Establishes a solid foundation for Crystal Dynamics to build upon;

The narrative feels disjointed and underbaked; Mission structure can feel oddly confusing and repetitive ; Live service formula feels detrimental at times ;

A classy single-player campaign, but its endgame needs some work. Destiny it ain't – at least not yet.

Looks great; Decent brawling mechanics; Superb storyline; Great new Avenger in Kamala; Satisfying superhero abilities;

Too keen to encourage microtransactions; Too much grinding in endgame; Not enough snap on ranged attacks; Gear system could do with rebalancing;

If you are into Marvel and always wanted to be one of Avengers than it is a great game, especially with continuing support from developers and releasing new characters.You don't have to spend real money as you can unlock skins just by playing game and completing challenges.But the game still need a lot of work and bug fixing

Fun to play with friends and a good time playing the campaign. Not an amazing game but with future updates could be great. Marvel fans will enjoy.

That's not to say Avengers is a bad game. It is a very PRETTY game, with some TIDY ENOUGH animations, that unfortunately get stuck under the grind of games as a service. The online mechanic and necessity of the grind to improve your current favourite Avenger stymies the potential of a “good game”. And when characters are locked behind their “narrative moment” (a.k.a release for the title), it doesn't really hope to excite players, but rather tap into their fandom. Hopefully in 6 months time, and with the release of the next generation of consoles, we'll see the true intent of this game and finally feel the impact of what it means to “Assemble”.

Good graphics, challenging game and variety of missions to do and lots of daily objectives to complete.
