I don't get how this game was made this bad. I'm not talking the loot boxes or microtransactions, I mean gameplay and graphics.
I wasn't going to play this, I'd heard enough about it to know it wasn't worth the effort. I had a friend who insisted it was much better than people were saying and I figured, sure if I can get it for like 5 bucks or less. And then I played it, and yeah its as bad as everyone said.
I knew I was in trouble from the start. I went to start the game and it launches me into the middle of helicarrier as Iron Man with no explanation of why or what I'm suppose to do. I wandered around for like twenty minutes before figuring out I need to use the war-table, but even then it took awhile to even get to the story. What a horrible way to start a game.
Now the story is great, and has some real gravitas to it. The characters and cutscenes are creative and well done. The gameplay, however, is boring and terrible. Every level is the same thing, over and over again.
You pick a character at the start of a mission, and you can't change it for the rest of the mission. All of the characters play the exact same and it just sucks so much of the fun out of the game. Playing the Hulk shouldn't feel like playing Iron Man, and Hawkeye should feel different from that. Playing as the Hulk is the worst in this, because he is so weakened and you have to spend so much of the fights hanging back cause you only get two lives. I've never hated playing the hulk more.
They clearly wanted this to be an Overwatch, but those characters at least have some differences in they strategy and usage. The graphic are also pretty terrible in this and all the Loading takes forever. This was the launching of Marvel for the modern Era, it should feel like an A+ class game, but it feels like a cheap knock off. Even a game like Immortals Fenyx Rising, which is a b-c class knockoff Zelda: BOTW, has better gameplay and story than this.
Even with the definitive edition and all that DLC, none of it adds anything to the gameplay. It doesn't even make the story better, as it adds nothing of real interest. Its just so boring and repetitive. go here, fight this, protect this, wait for load. Its also so hard to navigate what you need to do, and how to do it. i usually end up doing a nothing mission because I couldn't find the story mission so I had to finish another to get the option to go back to the story.
Honestly, if I'd bought this as a physical copy, I'd sell it off. Got it digital, so now I'm stuck with it forever. Its okay in small stretches, with good characters and story, but the terrible and repetitive gameplay just make this a slog to get through. My friend was wrong, this wasn't a good game. not at all.
