I'm quite a fan of the IP so this one stings. While it has potential with some fixes and more content, and it does have fun gameplay, It's simply too buggy for me to recommend this game in its current state.

Bugs I've personally encountered and I experience at least 1 bug almost every time i boot up the game:
- Spawning under the map at the start of a mission
- Loading into a mission never played the cut-scene - just staring at my character with no control for 30 seconds...
- Unable to actually use any of the combat abilities while in game (during Thor's HARM mission)
- Stuck in an elevator after triggering a load - had to reload checkpoint
- Multiple of the same avenger chilling in the jet on the way to a mission (multiple hulks was getting quite crowded in there)
- UI of the menu not even loading so stuck staring at the background.
- 1 enemy that you HAD to kill was invulnerable (had to load a checkpoint).
- The well documented 'skin vendor eating my resources'.
- Enemies glitching through locked doors (was able to kill with abilities through the walls...).
- Game straight up crashing to desktop on various occasions.
- One vendor lady wont stop saying 'seriously.. you're the best' because I picked up multiple of her little daily quests
- Many a graphical/audio glitches - from the world not actually rendering (I wonder why there is always water rendered at the bottom of one of the maps), to character's mouths not moving during cut-scenes, to audio clips from unrelated missions playing on top of one another in post mission screens.

Most of these aren't 'game-breaking' and rarely cost more than a reload of a checkpoint or minor graphical glitches. But there are enough of them, in frequent enough numbers that it's frankly unacceptable.

I also have a few gripes with the actual design of the game I would like to see fixed but that's not the reason I can't recommend this game. I wanted to like it, and did enjoy the majority of my time playing it (when it was working), but all the bugs and issues leave me frustrated every...single...time I play.

The only reason this review exists is because right after the game full on crashed on me again... steam thought that was the time to show me right in the middle of my screen 'Would you recommend this game'

...No...no I wouldn't, not right now. Time will tell whether this rough start is simply the fault of the publisher rushing the game out before it was ready. I hope to revisit this review in a year or so and all my points be no longer the case.


p.s The Spider-man exclusivity deal for PS4 is also massive ♥♥♥♥ stain on this game that isn't too relevant, but i'm still salty I wont get one of my favourites in this game...

is good
