Marvel's Avengers

**Marvel's Avengers Review**

Marvel's Avengers was a tough sell from the start, and writing this review feels just as tricky, especially since live service games are always changing. Though the servers are now offline, I managed to put about 30 hours into the game, completing the main campaign along with a bit of the additional content.

This game received a fair share of criticism, some of which I think is justified. That said, there are definitely some diamonds in the rough here.

Let's start with the positives. The single-player campaign is actually pretty decent. I spent around 12 hours on it, and while some of the levels felt like nothing more than arenas-just repeating the same stuff you do in side missions-there were a few levels that offered a more traditional single-player experience. The combat wasn't bad, either. I found myself enjoying the gameplay the most with Captain America, Black Widow, and Ms. Marvel. They added other characters later on, but by then, I had already moved on from the game. I have to admit, the sound effects and animations during fights were quite satisfying at times. I genuinely felt like a superhero. However, after finishing the main story, I struggled to find motivation to keep playing. It was especially confusing when side quests introduced characters that I hadn't encountered in the single-player campaign before.

Now, onto the negatives. This is a live service game, and it shows. There are so many chests packed with collectibles that it quickly becomes overwhelming. On top of that, there are tons of costumes and cosmetics, which can feel like too much. Honestly, it's probably the most "live-service" game I can think of. The level design isn't anything to write home about, either. You basically run around various arenas set in forests, cities, or labs-nothing particularly exciting or memorable.

The playable characters can be hit or miss. I found Iron Man to be really slow and difficult to control, and I had similar issues with Hulk.

In the end, I can recommend the game for its single-player campaign, which you can finish without it dragging on forever.

Overall, I'd give Marvel's Avengers a 6/10. It's not perfect, but there are some fun moments to be had.
