You will love playing as your favorite hero. You'll love getting a new Avengers Story. No one can say this game isn't fun to actually play. It just becomes predatory and toxic once your reach the end game. I cannot stress enough how bad this game is for your collection because for the last year players have contended with:

-All game loot drops with randomized stats and perks
-There is no way to re-roll those perks, you can only do the mission again
-The highest tier end game loot can only be obtained once a week
-the highest tier loot can only be upgraded once a day
-Mission types repeat infinitely with very little variety in objectives
-graphical bugs present since console release
-Player complaints being virtually ignored
-predatory microtransactions becoming more and more prevalent to the point of becoming necessary to obtain most of the cosmetics in the game
-nerfing the drop rates of items that give cosmetics
-time-locking most of the player's progress

The entire strategy behind this game as a service is simply to engineer a near infinite grind. Every update. Every change that has been implemented in this game in it's year long lifecycle has been dedicated to two things:

*promote microtransactions
*slow player progression

I want to go play a game that views me as more than an ATM and concurrent player stat. I really want to change this review one day and even apologize for the harsh things I've said about this game. But after a year of Crystal Dynamics completely ignoring the largest complaints about their game. That communicates to me that they know what the issue is; we've been loud. they know how to fix it; there's many ways. And they simply do not care about the hours wasted playing their "end game content". Your time, that valuable thing you can't get back, means absolutely nothing to the Crystal Dynamics marketing team and it's not just my word proving this, it's their actions over the course of an entire year.

Buy at your own risk, you've been warned about the realities of pressing that purchase button, You've been told what awaits you. My recommendation is to find ANY other looter game besides this and Outriders because it's the same publisher and some overlapping teams with the same issues. I recommend you follow @playavengers on twitter and wait for them to announce a gear re-work. Other than that, it's just going to be another $60 you gambled on a great game being handled poorly.
