The upgraded Marvel's Avengers offers plenty of improvements, but is still lacking in purpose
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Marvel’s Avengers gives us zombie robots.
Beyond 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. 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. But is it enough to bring it back from the dead?
The TL;DR answer? No, not really.
Despite 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. Six months and several patches and tweaks later, sadly it seems little has changed.
