Missions are way too repetitive and boring. Lack of content despite being based on the MARVEL IP which has 80 YEARS worth of source material. I really don't get the lack of content being put out for this game during its run. By the time you're reading this, the game had already been removed from Steam. RIP

Feel bad for anyone that didn't buy this, it's actually really good.

Played it in 2021 liked it but couldnt complete

I've played both Marvel's Avengers and Gotham Knights, two games with similar vibes and similarly mixed reviews. Here's my take on them:

Gotham Knights
This game was disappointing, especially given its steep price tag of $70. The combat didn’t live up to expectations, the story was a letdown, and the environment felt like nothing more than an obstacle course.

Marvel's Avengers
I managed to grab this game for a huge discount—just $4—which is a massive cut from the original price. While you can't buy it anymore officially, you can still find Steam keys, which is what I did. So, let’s dive into the review.

Positives:

+ The combat is far more satisfying than in Gotham Knights.
+ The takedown animations are a great addition and feel rewarding.
+ The story has some genuinely strong moments, particularly the scenes with Tony Stark, whose voice actor absolutely nailed the character. His dialogue was my favorite part of the game.
+ The final boss area is visually stunning and stands out as one of the game’s highlights.

Negatives:
- Kamala Khan as the protagonist isn’t very engaging. Her constant fan-girling gets stale quickly, and her repeated “I’m not a hero” angst followed by cheesy pep talks from other superheroes felt cliché and uninspired.
- The level design is repetitive and lacks variety. The environments are dull, and the scenery barely changes.
- The missions are monotonous: kill enemies, destroy objects, rinse, and repeat. For example, I once quit a Captain America mission immediately after getting the required material, skipping the rest of the level because I was bored.
- The main story is only 12 hours long. For comparison, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (which I agree is too long) clocks in at 59 hours and shares a similar price tag.
- The movement mechanics are clunky and frustrating.
- The screen often feels overloaded, making it hard to follow the action.
- Aside from Iron Man and Ms. Marvel, the other playable characters aren’t particularly fun to use.
- Fighting robots gets old fast. There are a few human enemies, but for some reason, they’re very rare.
- The gear system is poorly implemented, and most of the outfits are hideous. The only decent ones are those inspired by the Marvel movies.
Conclusion:
Don’t buy this game—it’s just not worth it. When I started playing, I looked up the length of the main story and was relieved to see it was only 12 hours because I couldn’t imagine enduring more. I’m not even sure I want to bother with the DLC.

Verdict: Marvel's Avengers or Gotham Knights?
This one goes to Gotham Knights. Sorry, Marvel.

Honestly, this game is boring.

Its decent fun co-op and thats the only reason topay money for it.

beyond that, its kinda meh. There are 9 characters and while they have small variations they all control basically the same with about 8 stats none of which matter as you dont need to care. The combat is. ok. There are basically 3 types of enemes that you might and taht is largely it. there are some outfits but again there are like 3 per hero followed by about a dozen reskins of each.

story-wise

Over and over and OVER again it violates SHOW dont tell. they had the chance to show kamalah kahn gaining her powers, learning them and her journey instead thats about 30 seconds in a water tower with "my dad hates this". and again, its just boring. the plot is told in what might be the worst possible way.

combat wise. eh, its ok. the controls are pretty garbage but once you rebind them out of being hot garbage the characters control.... fine .... enough... ish

yeah, idk what to say, its no tthat anything is bad just nothing is, well, good

I sort of love this game, just wish I could turn off the dmg numbers. I'm not sure if it'll still be much fun once the main story is complete, but it's been a good experience so far. I think It's genuinely a shame that the game is no longer available to purchase.

when the game first came out it was bad all the characters weren't in the game it was lagging really bad an buggy as well but at least i could play with xbox controller now in 2024 i cant even play with my controller no more like what a way to downgrade

super fun love it im a dc fan but whar ever i like this game

Great multiplayer.

As this game is another one that is for all intents and purposes, dead, this is another review that is a goodbye rather than just a summary of it's quality.

For all of it's flaws and hurdles during it's life, of which there certainly were many, the core game play was still great. The story was S tier, the characters were varied in their abilities and skill sets, and the combat was oh so satisfying. The sounds Mjolnir made hitting enemies will always be pleasing to my ears. And the incredibly talented group of voice actors they got for this game did such a great job.

It could and should have been so much more, and it's a huge shame it wasn't able to stick the landing and become the game it should've been like others have in recent years, like No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077. We needed more content, more varied enemy types, and maybe some additional game modes. I wish they'd gotten more time to work on that stuff.

I still play this from time to time, and even by myself I still enjoy it. I always will, as long as I'm able to play it.

I hope someday we get another Marvel game similar to this in terms of story, size, scale, and style at some point in the future. Until then, I'll just keep reassembling here, if and when the mood takes me.
