When this game isn't bugging out, soft locking, dropping audio, straight-up crashing, or putting you through gauntlets of repetitive combat arenas that drag on too long and ruin the pacing...it's probably one of the better comic book adaptations in recent gaming memory.
The combat system is essentially "What if GOD OF WAR 2018, but you controlled 4 Boys at once?" It really flows after you get yourself accustomed to the awkward button layout (which you can't remap). That said, the fights frequently run long, and there's only so many times I can hear the cast repeat the same quips before I got really annoyed.
Still, the main event here is the narrative. Very well designed in its core ideas, and with a lot of creative room for replays based on its branching options. This is one of the first games in a long time that has me EXCITED for New Game Plus. Takes a lot of queues from the popular MCU adaptation, but remixes everything with Cosmic Marvel Comics Lore to make something that stands alone.
Worth a play, and honestly I would love to see this get some DLC or a sequel. But first and foremost: This needs some effing patches.
