Marvel's Avengers is a 3rd person action-adventure game with RPG elements. To be more precise, it’s a looter-brawler that incorporates some shooting mechanics, depending on your chosen hero.
As you may have guessed, the game is essentially dead, with only the single-player portion remaining accessible. You can't even buy it anymore, which is a shame.
The initial release suffered from insufficient content, numerous bugs, and poor performance. The stupid decision to make this game a live-service, quickly killed any interest from most gamers. Lack of interest = low player base = no money to develop the game further.
Honestly, I don’t think Marvel's Avengers is a bad game. While it didn't reach the heights of the latest Spider-Man titles or even the older Batman games, I genuinely enjoyed my ~24 hours with it.
I believe the game would have performed much better if it had been designed as a single-player experience from the outset. The beat 'em up style of gameplay is simply not made for a grind.
If you can somehow get your hands on a copy of Marvel's Avengers, I recommend checking it out. It's not anything special (I would give it mixed review if I could), but fans of Marvel or superheroes in general, will likely enjoy it.

Reassemble
DO NOT start the game using the "Play Now" button. Instead, select "Operations" and begin with the Reassemble campaign.
Reassemble is the first campaign operation in Marvel's Avengers, serving as both an introduction to the game and its main storyline. It also acts as the origin story for Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) and M.O.D.O.K.
Basically, the Avengers ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, their helicarrier crashed into San Francisco's bay, and the material that drove its reactor caused huge amounts of damage to the surrounding area. The mists from the reactor led to many civilians developing superpowers. Obviously, this whole fiasco didn't end well for the Avengers. They, SHIELD and Stark Industries were forced to disband by the US Senate. Now, armed with critical evidence about huge conspiracy, Kamala Khan must reassemble the Avengers and take down the villains.
If you ever watched any Marvel movie, this is basically the same thing but in playable form. The dialogues can be too infantile at times and jokes are painfuly unfunny, but that's a problem with almost every superhero game, movie or tv series.

Operations
The operations Taking AIM, Future Imperfect, and War for Wakanda are much smaller in scale compared to the Reassemble campaign. Their primary purpose is to introduce new playable superheroes - Kate Bishop, Hawkeye, and Black Panther. While nothing of great importance occurs in these missions, I appreciate that each character has their own mini-story.
War for Wakanda was probably the biggest dissapointment for me. Wakanda itself looks phenomenal, but the story that takes place there is just idiotic. It’s frustrating to see so much money invested in the design of the environment, yet so little in crafting a compelling narrative.

Gameplay
As much as I enjoyed the story, I can’t say the same about the gameplay itself. The missions are EXTREMELY repetitive, even the story quests. What's worse, the locations for these quests are often reused. While the Reassemble campaign features a decent variety of unique places, the Operations and side quests do not share that same diversity.
It may be controversial, but I don’t think the combat is bad, particularly for solo play. However, turning this into a live-service brawler is a moronic choice. It can be fun in a limited time (like Batman Arkham series), but it WILL inevitably become boring. I'll repeat myself here - the beat 'em up style of gameplay is simply not suited for grind!
There’s a decent roster of playable characters, each with a unique set of skills and abilities. However, their attack patterns tend to be quite similar, featuring a light attack, heavy attack, ranged attack, and dodge. Each hero also has three abilities that recharge over time, and some can even fly while attacking from the air. While it’s a solid system, it lacks in replayability department. Finding better items and leveling your characters are not enough in the long run.
In a game focused on looting, the itemization ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. Items are invisible on your character, meaning they primarily serve to enhance your stats and item level. The higher their "tier," the greater the chance for additional effects, but this would only matter if the game was still alive. In a single-player? Not so much.
The difficulty level is relatively low. As long as you're not underleveled, you can breeze through any challenge. Higher difficulty settings only increase enemy health and damage output without introducing new mechanics or attack patterns.
Speaking of enemies, the diversity is lacking. New operations rarely introduce anything genuinely new (besides War for Wakanda). The opponents may have different appearances or weapons, but their attack patterns remain largely unchanged.

Visuals
Not gonna lie, the game is visually impressive. The locations are detailed, the visual effects are high quality, and the animations are (mostly) fluid. There are minor issues with flickering textures, lights, and occasionally disappearing models, but these problems aren’t too frequent.
Some players may take issue with the new appearances of familiar superheroes (for example, Iron Man doesn’t resemble Robert Downey Jr.), but I don’t see that as a significant problem. At least for me, most of the new designs fit the characters quite well.

Audio
The voice acting is of high quality, and all the sound effects are impressive. You can genuinely hear how much money went into this game.
However, the soundtrack feels somewhat underwhelming. It's not bad (except for one particularly generic track from Wakanda that feels like a cliché "black" music). It's simply not epic enough to generate the hype that’s crucial for superhero productions.

Technicalities
The performance is, to say the least, inconsistent. The Reassemble campaign generally ran at 100-140 FPS, with only occasional drops below that threshold. In contrast, all Operations were poorly optimized, often dipping below 40 FPS in various areas.
The Reassemble campaign is mostly bug-free, with only minor issues like enemies occasionally spawning inside walls, some animations glitching, or textures flickering. Nothing major.
The Operations are the opposite of that. A LOT of small glitches, some cutscenes were buggy as hell, invisible characters, enemies and friends stuck in place, and other similar things.

thumbs down 0/10

The story is excellent, but the gameplay can get boring at times. It's sad to see the game's ultimate fate. They shouldn’t have stopped the modding scene. In my opinion, modding community could have saved the game.
