Here are some more musings on Square Enix& #39;s Marvel& #39;s The Avengers.
There& #39;s a good foundation here.
All the playable characters use the same basic control scheme but actually feel very different to play.
Combat is legitimately fun.
Avengers with online co-op makes sense.

The problem comes with the "games as a service" model along with half-baked RPG elements.
The invisible equipment system is awful. It& #39;s only there because it& #39;s a Destiny clone.
The missions are another problem.

During the campaign, there are some legitimately fun sequences. Levels that were specifically designed for a certain character are fun!
The problem is that there are maybe 5 tailored levels in the campaign. The rest are generic "looter-shooter" missions.

Because of that, every area feels boring and lifeless because each character has to be able to complete it Solo if necessary.
So each mission feels exactly the same:
Go to zone > fight enemies > get in elevator > fight enemies > get in elevator > go back to base

They pepper in cutscenes to add flavor during the campaign, but it only masks the fact that there are like 3 mission types that are recycled endlessly.
Number 1: Make the loot MATTER. When you find a new chest piece for Thor, change the chest mesh to match.
You& #39;d only need like, 4 or 5 different meshes for armor piece because you can reuse and repaint them like mad.
Let each player BUILD their ideal Avenger.
