So, firstly i don't believe in reviewing anything, then constantly changing my mind and adding or removing stars. I base reviews on my personal opinion, having given an opportunity to experience it first. I have been playing this game almost everyday ( for a couple of hours, i do have a job i promise :) ) since its early access launch.
Marvel's Avengers is truly a great game. The story line follows the charismatic Kamala Khan, a young girl who's obsession with the Avengers is infectious, as i'm sure can be said for most of us playing the game and having grown up around the movies. She believes in the values the Avengers uphold and starts her journey to become Ms Marvel.
As you progress through the story, you will have the opportunity to play through all the main characters of the game and experience how they operate and their benefits and drawbacks for use. I will say that the mechanics for each character varies quite considerably and you will make your own mind up to what you do and don't like!
Personally, I'm a huge fan of using Black Widow (I may have maxed her out already.....) whereas Iron Man isn't my cup of tea. But, this is more likely that i haven't given it an opportunity to grow on me, but i will eventually. And with a little practice, i will probably love it.
So with regards to the Story campaign, i give this a 10/10.
"But Matt, you gave this a game 4 out of 5 starts! What's the deal here?"
As i'm sure you can imagine it's due to the Avengers Initiative, or multiplayer if you will. Now i haven't noticed too many issues, although i am aware through friends and online reviews there have been some annoyances, and rightly so.
These bugs can disrupt the whole element of immersing yourself into the game, where one moment it's 5pm then the next it's 12am and you've to be up for work in 6 hours......., and it has upset some to say the least. However, we have to remember that this game is in the very early stages of it's infancy and this is to be expected. Fair play to Crystal Dynamics, they dropped the first patch for bug fixes 1 week after the launch and will hopefully be dropping a much larger patch in the coming days and weeks to iron out most of this. So really this is the only reason i feel this game should have a shiny 4* review.
In conclusion, i would highly recommend this game to anyone with a passion for gaming in general or that like lots of us, love Marvel's Avengers or superheroes.
Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!
