For me, it was a striking example of a game that tried to be all things to all people but magpie'd so many of its features and functions from other titles, it failed to build, never mind retain, an identity of its own.įor what it's worth, the game I played this week is better than the one I experienced in September.
I know it released to a lukewarm reception that was either justified or not, depending upon how outrageous you personally judge its in-game marketplace and level-grind.
Six months and several patches and tweaks later, sadly it seems little has changed.Īnd look, I know Marvel's Avengers has been sitting at the butt of many AAA-flavoured jokes. But is it enough to bring it back from the dead?ĭespite its endearing lead character, impressive voice work, and solid single-player campaign, I thought Marvel's Avengers was an unoriginal and uninspired affair when I reviewed it on release back in September last year. A free next-gen upgrade and the arrival of a new superhero has breathed new life into Square Enix's hitherto flatlining GaaS superhero adventure. Just when you think you've seen it all, Marvel's Avengers gives us zombie robots.īeyond the puzzling paradox - surely something that has never been alive in the first place cannot, by definition, be brought back to life? - it's a fitting metaphor, I suppose.
