Join me in this long form dissection of Marvel's Avengers, a review if you will, some might even call it an in-depth critique or analysis of the game. Witness how a game can break a man as I rant and examine the story, the bugs, the glitches, the combat, the gear & loot system, the characterisation, the fact it's broken, if you can name it I guarantee I cover it here.
Marvel's Avengers is an insulting mess. It's my biggest, most bitter disappointment of this generation. This cynical, insidious, at-best-misguided, made-by-committee garbage-fire hasn’t just let me down, it’s actively enraged me.
I didn’t want to make a video like this. My intention prior to playing the beta was to ultimately make a standard critique exploring where the game’s comic-book influences came from and honestly just use it as an opportunity to gush about my favourite comics, characters, and how Crystal Dynamics have interpreted the Avengers source material.
Then I played the beta, and my stomach turned to stone but I braved it, it was still going to be a Day 1 buy for me. Maybe I was missing something. Then I played the finished product, and my skin turned green.

Disclaimer: I made some mistakes in this video plot-wise. For example Kamala doesn't see Flynn in the "smash" scene and the more I think about it the more I think Kamala lifting Thor's hammer is a theme park ride.
Doesn't change the fact Marvel's Avenger's sucks though.
