'Avengers' review in progress: It's less 'Destiny' and more 'Streets of Rage 4.' And that's a compliment.
Having played the beta it can't be understated how poor all the heroes are at level 1. There are a lot of really nice tools, some downright essential, that are gated in the skill trees. And that was just in the beta with its singular skill tree; I've seen in vids that the others only exacerbate this more so.
Also, it's funny, I actually came up with the same Iron Man setup in said beta playtime. It's really satisfying using his laser like a shrink ray.
The scores are going to be pretty variable until the major outlets weigh in. And between GameInformer, Laura Kate Dale, and WaPo, things are potentially boding well.
