Taken together, these two synergistic systems provide moments of dazzling destruction and high damage output that help to keep the monotony of endlessly chained basic attacks at bay. There are also extreme attacks which unleash a flurry of effect-heavy blows and can be chained across all four party members if their yellow extreme meters are also full. Each ability has an associated synergy trait - so if there's another character in your four-person party with an ability that has a compatible trait, then moving close to that character, holding down ZR, and pressing the applicable ability's face button will cause both of your ability attacks to fire off simultaneously for increased effectiveness. It doesn't take long to grasp and get into the foe-flinging action, but the synergy attacks stand out as they reward teamwork and careful team composition with higher damage output. The controls are simple and intuitive: a button for light attacks, another for heavy strikes, a dodge that doubles as a block when held down, and a shoulder button that lets you fire off an ability with the press of any face button. The same simple button-mashing gameplay is back in The Black Order with a few small additions that help make it tolerable. What could've been an opportunity to develop lesser-known or poorly-received Marvel characters instead comes off as a rushed and hackneyed attempt to capitalize on the success of recent movies. The X-Men are back to interact with their Marvel buddies, but they're barely given any attention or time in the spotlight. We don't get to see what's important to any of these heroes or why they're even fighting in the first place. Amusing interactions among the cast members are less satisfying than they are superficial as each character boils down to an arrogant archetype. No characters or antagonists are given any time to breathe in the story's eight hour runtime.įan-favorite villains completely disappear after their boss fights just as quickly as they appeared, having waved an infinity stone in your face. You'll run into character X and help them take out villain Y in recognizable franchise locale Z. With over 30 playable characters and even more villains that come out of the woodwork to impede your progress, the story ends up devolving into a Marvel mad lib. There's a solid foundation there, but it completely crumbles beneath the weight of all the characters they try and cram in. This game draws heavily from the Thanos-centric Avengers films: you command a growing group of Marvel heroes that seek to collect each of the six infinity stones before Thanos gets his gauntlet-clad paws on them.
