LEGO Marvel's Avengers

Probably the best LEGO game to date

As a diehard player of LEGO games and a noob when it comes to the Marvel franchise, I'd have to say that this is probably the best LEGO game so far.

I went into this game after playing LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and while this game has a lot of the same characters and identical Manhattan hub as the earlier game, this one seems to have perfected those little annoyances I had while trying to 100% LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Flying in particular is much better with the additional control mechanism (you can use the right joystick to control altitude).

Story mode was exceptional even for someone who hasn't seen a single Avengers movie (I know, I know I'm crazy). There seems to be more variation of skills compared to earlier LEGO Marvel titles so that added more diversity to missions giving it less of a grind-like feel too.

Overall, if you're looking for a great game to launch yourself into the LEGO or Marvel franchise I would highly recommend this title.

  • This is practically the same game. Updated rosters (aside from oops we forgot Russell Wilson doesn't play for the Seahawks) are one thing but I didn't notice much of a difference in terms of overall presentation and gameplay. Franchise mode is worth a try, Ultimate Team seems like a cash grab, and other modes didn't seem to improve from years past. You can skip...

  • It's never too late to jump into the Aery series and this latest release is my favorite so far. While it seemed a bit shorter than other titles in the series, I felt like the progression was much more fluid and told a great story about life's journey through time. If you're not familiar with the Aery series of games, the series is all about flying around different...

  • Look I know this game is made for kids and all - my nephews love Ryan and his YouTube stuff - but it's actually pretty fun if you're looking for a super casual Mario Kart clone for Xbox One. Achievements are pretty easy to unlock which is a huge bonus for me, and it's really not that bad given I don't know any of the characters of the Ryan series or...

  • This game was a decent sequel and pretty darn good game for the Puzzle genre which is not my favorite. Low price and relatively easy achievements was an easy sell for me. I liked the different mechanics and difficulty as levels progressed. The boss battle was fun too and would hope they produce another game in the series.

  • Yeah so the non-linear progression may not be some people's fancy as seen in other reviews of the game elsewhere, I happen to find this game incredibly fun. Sure, the quests may become repetitive early on and you may jump ship (no pun intended) but I strongly encourage you to give it a shot with a group of friends or even better -...
