Cons:
-Camera (in case you did'nt already know)- Yeah, camera's junk. I played in the close-up camera (hero) and a few times it irritated me though a lot less than others have said (I'm not someone who cares much about camera framerate etc so take that everyone else gaming these days).
-Weird difficulty spike for endgame (not a pun)- You have around 40 characters at your disposal and some are unlocked with higher levels than others. You can choose to level by playing through the story or by completing challenge rooms. They also provide one-time use xp items to level characters you dont want to have to grind levels with. Problem was (for me), I beat the game with about 10 characters I had been leveling over the course of the (each around lv 35). When I unlocked the Superior difficulty, it was so hard that there was really no way to bring in the characters I had barely touched throughout my first play through. I also really didnt have enough xp items to level them to 30. Bummer. So now my OG crew runs the challenges and I guess I'll restart the game on a lower difficulty with my low level characters.
Loading times- initial loading times between story and challenge rooms are bad. The worse culprit is loading in menus. It's just long enough for you to utter "Jesus" under your breath.
If you've read other reviews, you know the pros. This is just my 2 cents about the good minus all the stuff you've heard (probably ad nausium).
Pros:
Iso-8 system- I thought I would'nt like this system as it almost sounded tacked on, but incorrect. Iso8 modifys rpg attributes like loot does in other games EXCEPT it works on everyone. In other words its better because I'm not waiting for specific stuff to drop (especially since there's so many characters, can you imagine lol). They range from basic light attack modification, buffs, high vitality, etc to cool stuff like adding ice to the last hit in a combo chain, adding a shock property to your heavy attacks, or raising your damage to enemies with a stagger bar. That's more of the ish I'm interested in.
Combat: I'm surprised how many people think this is basic stuff. True, you can play this game as a button masher but good luck once the difficulty ramps up. Combat is more nuanced than you might expect-more akin to an active rpg battle system. I played it this way, for example,- I stacked iso on wolverine that did double damage to staggered enemies. Iron Fists' iso set his ability charge attacks through the roof. Then Ghost Rider had iso that made his attacks chew through stagger meter. So I combo chain until the boss is staggered, switch to wolverine to start in on light/heavy attacks, then switch to Iron fist to charge his mega uppercut. Then I got wolverine to do his uppercut at the same time. Massive damage. Massive fun. What to do if you activate only one super on a character? why not switch to another, run beside the boss who is getting wrecked as hulk and charge his slow as heck ground slam. Get out of here with the combat is simple.
Story/dialogue: I cant say I'm into comics books, but I appreciated the story and writing. Everyone has distinctive personalities, gets a spot in the (uh) spotlight, and is voiced great.
Game gets to the point: It's killin killin killin. That's what it's supposed to be. The fact that it has great story, dialogue, and music is icing. You are literally bombarded for the first 3/4 of the game by boss after boss, playable character after character, cameos out the wazoo. It's just plain fun.
That's it. It's deeper than what everyone is saying. Hope this can turn a few on the fence. its a 4.5 star for me but since there's still people in 2019 giving 1 star reviews for a product based on how bad their shipping/purchasing experience was, ima give it 5.
