At this point, with teams within Crystal Dynamics now working on Perfect Dark for Microsoft and starting pre-production of a new Tomb Raider game, not to mention having just been sold alongside Square Enix’s other western studios to Embracer Group, that just isn’t going to happen. If you reach the endgame.Īlmost two years later, there have definitely been some improvements to Marvel’s Avengers, but to fix the game’s biggest issues would have required a complete overhaul as opposed to tweaking a few systems here and there. As long as the numbers go up, you won’t really feel a need to dig into the different stats and how they influence your playstyle. That carrot dangling from the end of the stick has never been particularly appealing, though. From the War Table you’ll select one of the game’s regions before launching into a mission, hoping to improve the power level of your selected hero by finding rare loot. Perhaps an even bigger turn-off is how Marvel’s Avengers is structured. In other words, while there’s clearly depth to the combat system, mastering it doesn’t necessarily make the game any more fun or rewarding. Each hero has their own extensive skill tree and moveset, but it’s easy to get away with mindless button bashing and the occasional well-timed dodge. Although missions frame combat scenarios in different ways, you’ll quickly fall into the habit of spamming a few basic combos and super powers on repeat. If you didn’t like the core Marvel’s Avengers gameplay at launch then the answer is a resounding no. That said, the game continues to enjoy an active fanbase and has benefited from various major updates and expansions. It’s fair to say that it hasn’t even come close to dethroning either of these popular looter shooters. Square Enix was banking on Marvel’s Avengers managing becoming a flagship live service title for its western studios, going up against games such as Destiny and Warframe.
A dungeon-crawling brawler designed to be played over and over as you and up to three other superheroes run the same missions for loot and XP. With its launch it became clear that, while Marvel’s Avengers features a solid campaign with some pretty memorable character moments, it was also geared toward being a multiplayer experience.
However, as the game slowly started to materialise, it perhaps wasn’t what many had envisioned.
