A snappy, fun campaign full of great VO ends too soon, and the game-as-service that comes after is paper thin

Avengers feels like two separate games smashed together, and while they don't always sync up, both parts are linked by deep, intelligent combat spread across varied heroes.

There are many things I do not like about Marvel’s Avengers, one of the best comic book video games I’ve played. I don’t like grinding missions to earn

For every one thing to love about Marvel's Avengers, there's something to cancel it out, as though it's a shiny machine…

Marvel’s finest have never looked or sounded this good, but their best efforts feel in vain.

Marvel's Avengers' least advertised aspect turns out to be its greatest asset, and it's exactly what hardcore fans were craving the most. The story and everything that comes with it is a real highlight, allowing the exceptional Kamala Khan to take the lead and bring with her enjoyable combat systems and fun parkour. The shocking framerate, along with bugs and glitches, should be fixed in the near future, but it's what the game has you do after the credits roll that quickly becomes its biggest downfall. Marvel's Avengers has a single player campaign that thoroughly excites, surprises, and delights. What follows brings it crashing back down to Earth.

Marvel's Avengers is sprawling and spectacular, messy and bloated all at the same time. There's a surprisingly fun and lengthy campaign here, excellent writing and acting and some of the best superhero brawling in the business. It excels at allowing you to really feel like you're fighting alongside your favourite superheroes as you decimate enemies and destroy scenery, but it loses some of that swagger as it enters its online endgame. There's a half-baked gear system, convoluted menus and questlines and some technical issues that make fighting online feel a little rough around the edges at this point in time. However, with a couple of patches, with the right support down the line in terms of new heroes, costumes, bad guys and story beats, Crystal Dynamics could be on to a winner here. This is a properly solid start and a pleasant surprise.

Marvel's Avengers' campaign is fun and endearing, but the loot-based endgame is a mess.

Crystal Dynamics delivers a fun brawler that hones in on each of the heroes' unique abilities.
