With the Beta for
Square Enix and
Crystal Dynamics’
Marvel’s Avengers going live this weekend we had the opportunity to don a metallic suit, step into some green skin, and flex some stretchy limbs as part of a recent preview session.
A snippet.
The introduction is all big-budget cinematic spectacle, recalling the most impressive single-player action-adventures of the last decade – scripted narrative beats, limited level design, quick-time events, and more than enough eye candy to make you forget (for a moment at least) to stare at Thor’s godly cheeks. But it’s over in a Flash (sorry, wrong universe) and then you’re being taught – once again - how the other side of the game works.
The levelling, the repeatable missions, the loot system, the crafting, it’s information overload. Like a single-player title merged with a co-op looter-shooter campaign, but the result is pure late-stage Brundlefly.
