Review

LEGO Marvel's Avengers is a delightful romp through the beloved Marvel Cinematic Universe, perfectly rendered in the signature whimsical LEGO style. The game boasts an expansive character roster, each hero and villain having unique abilities that make gameplay fresh and exciting. The humor and charm of the LEGO games are present in full force, providing a light-hearted take on Marvel’s epic stories, complete with laugh-out-loud moments and clever nods to fans. However, the game does struggle with repetitive mission design, which can hinder the overall enjoyment during longer play sessions. Technical glitches rear their head occasionally, but they are more of a nuisance than a game-breaker. While LEGO Marvel's Avengers doesn’t offer much innovation compared to previous LEGO titles, its faithful adaptation of the MCU and entertaining gameplay is sure to please both LEGO and Marvel fans alike.
