Marvel's Avengers

Know somebody who might be like this game?

Summary

Marvel’s Avengers is an epic, third-person, action-adventure game that combines an original, cinematic story with single-player and co-operative gameplay. Assemble into a team of up to four players online, master extraordinary abilities, customize a growing roster of Heroes, and defend the Earth from escalating threats.

Storyline

Marvel’s Avengers begins at A-Day, as San Francisco celebrates the opening of an Avengers West Coast Headquarters and an all-new helicarrier, powered by new experimental technology. The day turns tragic when a terrible accident results in mass destruction. Blamed for the tragedy, the Avengers disband.

Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor blame themselves for the mass devastation and the loss of Captain America. In the five years following A-Day, the team’s absence has devastating consequences worldwide. A new organization has risen - Advanced Idea Mechanics, otherwise known as AIM. AIM believes that science – not Super Heroes – is the key to protecting the world.

A teenager Kamala finds herself developing extraordinary polymorphic and healing powers as a direct result of exposure to Terrigen Mists during the A-day incident. With the Avengers disbanded and Advanced Idea Mechanics turning public sentiment against Super Heroes, Kamala hides her abilities from the world.

Kamala’s unwavering loyalty to the Avengers, intelligence, inquisitive nature, and ever-optimistic personality lead to a huge discovery when she uncovers a shocking conspiracy. As Kamala learns to harness and embrace her powers, she finds the will and the way to reassemble Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Heroes are good. Games-as-a-service is bad. The folks at Square Enix must have been patting themselves on the back when the first saw the inHeroes are good. Games-as-a-service is bad. The folks at Square Enix must have been patting themselves on the back when the first saw the in game marketplace for Marvel's Avengers. They had the licensed characters, the rinse-and-repeat gameplay, and the microtransactions. With all of that, did they need compelling gameplay or bug fixes? Surely the players would be satisfied enough with the opportunity to buy useless skins for a game they will quickly tire of playing and then quit forever.First the good. Playing as the heroes is fun, super fun! Each hero (except the two archers) has unique moves and animations. Ms. Marvel is especially well animated with here body size changing powers. Forget Anthem. Fly as the real Iron Man! The mechanics for a super hero beat-em-up are well done and we should all applaud Crystal Dynamics for making this happen.Now the bad. Marvel has a deep roster of villains and goons for the heroes to fight. So it is a big let down that all we get are three marquee villains and a bunch of robots. Everywhere you, everywhere you turn, everywhere you look, robots. I've read the Avengers comics. I've seen the movies. The Avengers often fight wave after wave of grunts. They've fought aliens, ogres, demons, lava men, medieval knights, and the hordes of Hades. Defeating robots should be the first chapter of this saga, not the entire game. Even Destiny, a game more people have quit than any game in history, a game that started selling guns for dollars, a game that scored so low on release that some publications stopped publishing review scores, a game Activision dropped, even Destiny had the decency to launch with three alien races to fight. (And then of course Destiny reskinned those alien races for the next 7 years, but at least Destiny still charts on Steam.) Lesson to the wise, when you launch a games-as-a-service, include some service.More bad. Some of the enemy mechanics stink. There are glitches all over the place like falling through the floor or enemies popping in and out of existence. What irks me are the bad design decisions. Enemies will deliver area of effect damage that will stagger your hero. A few of these in quick succession becomes an unbeatable combo. Some attacks do enough damage to one-shot kill a hero and your hero will fall down and die for seemingly no reason. As with all of these games-as-a-service, the solution to difficulty is to make every enemy a damage sponge. In the Black Panther expansion, many weapons will make the screen go dark and you will have no idea what is happening. A better studio would have spotted these issues long before release.Finally, games-as-a-service is like a cancer that is killing gaming as we know it. My solution is to never buy micro-transactions. Of course, just by playing these games I give life to what I hate. Some "whale" with hundreds of dollars sunk into skins can enjoy quick matchmaking because "freeloaders" like myself are there for the matchmaking server. So I should stop playing the game entirely and instead spend my time and money on single player titles with strong narrative elements and darling indie games with novel mechanics. Except the Avengers game is fun to play through the main story and co-op missions are fun to play with my kids or strangers on-line. (None of my friends play this game, something you may relate with).Full disclosure, I spent $16 on this game in a Black Friday sale. Honestly, the game should be free-to-play. Rather than fix bugs or add diversity of enemies, the developers made more skins and upgrade material. Rather than make a must play game in service of fans, the developers fine tuned the store to encourage you to buy more skins. I have no empathy for the loss of revenue this game represents for the studio or the publisher. They saw what happened to Destiny, The Division, Fallout '76, and Anthem, and Star Wars Battlefront II and they pushed forward with games-as-a-service anyway. They saw the success of Spider-Man on PS4 and never said to themselves, "If we make a great game with these characters, people will buy it!".All-in-all, this game is not a bad budget title. Astoundingly enough, the developer is adding more playable content, trying to fix the progression system, and adding free skins for playing. This is a Hail Mary play that may not work. People will probably play for free skins and then quit anyway. So if you ever want to enjoy this game, jump in now before a death spiral kills it. (The death spiral is when people quit because they think people aren't playing. And then as matchmaking stops working, more people quit. That leads to more people quitting. Then the studio decides they don't want to pay for the servers so they pull the plug. This is how these kinds of games die.)

It is darn difficult. Don't listen to the guys who say they played it in hard mode coz it's humanly impossible. The easy mode IS the hard mode. Enemies attack at once- both close and long range attacks. 1 bloody missile can severely damage u and all of the Enemies throw missiles. Health is hard to find coz the canisters don't glow. And there's these glowing vents on floors and turrets high up on walls- the game is a severe mess.

The main campaign is a match of attrition versus bad design choices. The Chimera hub is a horrible place to navigate due to complete absence of a radar or map in the game. Iron Man is a completely horrible character to play, with his flying ability totally feeling like an afterthought in the design of every single combat. I am glad it was "free" with Xbox Game Pass because otherwise I would've never bought or downloaded it.
