Now I may feel like I was one of the few who was actually interested in playing this game. After playing Spider-Man on PS4, I wanted to get more into Marvel games and get back into the superhero video game genre since the Batman Arkham series.

And I was honestly still looking to play it because I thought the trailers made it look genuinely fun. I know it's getting some flack with certain things but I still gave it the benefit of the doubt. So is Avengers for PS4 worth it? Well let's go through it.

You play between six heroes being Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, and Kamala Khan. They all have their unique abilities and play styles that you can later upgrade with skill points and all of them are pretty fun in their own ways. Throwing Cap's shield is very satisfying, the might of Thor makes you feel mighty as well, flying around as Iron Man works surprisingly well that it makes me think we can make a functional Superman game, rampaging as Hulk is super fun, Black Widow's shooter assets is good for both close and ranged combat, and Kamala Khan has her standout moments as well with her newly discovered abilities. There's gonna be more heroes as DLC like Spider-Man, Hawkeye, Black Panther, and Kate Bishop and I'm honestly excited for them as well.

The campaign takes around 12 hours and the story around is that after an event called A-Day where the Avengers failed to stop a Terrigen explosion which has infected the city of San Francisco giving them superpowers, Kamala Khan plans to reassemble the Avengers because she believes that they were set up by the corporation known as A.I.M. run by Monica Rappaccini and George Tarleton also known as MODOK.

The story to me felt satisfying and it was structured pretty well. Though there are consistencies that made me question it a few times like where Banner gets the jacket after being the Hulk but overall, I enjoyed it. The voice cast does fairly well, it had some awesome moments, and the designs for the characters looked good. Even MODOK which makes me think the MCU can pull off a design for him now. The campaign gives an equal amount of playtime with each character switching between them unlike say The Last of Us 2.

I do wish there was more variety when it comes to villains though. Like sure Taskmaster, Abomination, and MODOK are cool choices but that's really all the villains in it. Like who the hell knows this Monica chick? Hopefully in the DLC we get more.

Now you can play online with friends which I have and it's fun to do though there's some bugs and glitches as well as some frame rate issues that also happen in single player mode. Hopefully Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics can fix it up with patches but it's not Fallout 76 glitchy to where it's unplayable.

You can unlock upgrades for your gear as well as cosmetics and emotes through the game though I suggest doing it through the in-game store and not through the ridiculous microtransactions. Though they are expensive as hell nonetheless which leads to probably it's main flaw.

You really have to grind. A lot of the levels have high difficulty so you have to power up your heroes as much as you can. It's pretty tedious. Sure it's only six heroes but it still takes a long time to do it.

Not to mention that when you die in certain spots of the game, you'll have to sit through loading screens that take forever.

So overall, I do enjoy playing it and I do feel like they can fix it over time with patches since I played this on it's release date. By the end, it hints towards some potential for a sequel and I feel like they can learn from this to improve how they would change some things for the future.

So for an Avengers game, I say it's okay. I give Marvel's Avengers a 6/10.
