Radio messages from Peggy Carter! Slapstick with Thor and Hulk! Lego Marvel's Avengers should be a delightful romp with beloved heroes, but it's a clunky chore.

Your favorite Avenger characters are here in adorable Lego form

Confused level design often physically obscures what youre meant to be doing; Imprecise controls that break up the flow of fun; Movie dialog feels awkwardly shoved in and out of place

There are more than 100 characters to discover in Lego Marvel's Adventures, and it'll take dedicated players dozens of hours to access every single one. But even when you've unlocked only a handful, it's clear that many of the characters play in the same way.

Good family fun; Huge roster of Marvel characters; Charming spin on the Marvel movies

Very little different to the same Lego formula; Not much character variation despite having huge roster

Another LEGO game with everything you love! New open world is huge and robust and a lot of fun to play around in, but the wide array of games this title covers hurts the LEGO charm a little too much, as you lose on some jokes if you haven't seen every Marvel movie right before you play as it doesn't...

However, in recent years probably one of the most appealing and successful installments was Lego Marvel Super Heroes, which took the full Marvel comics universe and provided a huge amount of fun.

Lots of varied stages and gameplay mechanics; Classic recipe with a few good additions; Fluid action and performance

Poor voice acting from the movies; Limited roster of characters during story missions

Brimming with confidence and overflowing with unlockables, the latest Lego Marvel game is a content-rich, breezily enjoyable placeholder.

This title brings players into the worlds seen on the big screen, taking you through major events seen in The Avengers (or Marvel's Avengers Assemble in the UK), Avengers: Age of Ultron , Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World .

I've played every title released by Chile's ACE Team since they formed in 2009, and although I usually find their work interesting , it's all been significantly flawed in one way or another.

The director's commentary is brilliant

Missing the same high-altitude jump six times in a row

Full disclaimer: I love Marvel comics, and I love LEGO and its many videogame spinoffs. Yet for some reason, 2013's LEGO Marvel Superheroes didn't grab me the way I thought it would.

If you like the LEGO game formula, you have a preference for playing solo and you're a huge fan of MCU, there's still a lot of value for you in LEGO Marvel's Avengers, even despite a disjointed plot and annoying audio mixes.

Inviting settings; Co-op combo moves

Incoherent plot; Limited dialogue; Some missions aren't co-op friendly

LEGO continues their plan for world domination, on consoles at least.
