Avengers
Avengers est un jeu vidéo sorti le 1er décembre 1986, développé et édité par Capcom sur borne d'arcade, classé dans les genres arcade et beat 'em up. La fiche technique le décrit comme un beat 'em up à défilement vertical vu de dessus, connu au Japon sous le nom de Hissatsu Buraiken et réalisé par Takashi Nishiyama. L'intrigue place le joueur dans Paradise City où le vilain Geshita a capturé six jeunes filles ; il incarne Ryu ou Ko et dispose de coups de poing, de pied et de saut circulaire, avec la possibilité de ramasser des bonus comme la super frappe, des grenades, des shurikens ou des nunchakus, ainsi que d'accéder à des zones secrètes en brisant des portes.
La description commerciale associée au titre le présente toutefois comme Marvel's Avengers, un jeu d'action-aventure à la troisième personne propulsé par le Crystal Engine. Celui-ci propose une campagne cinématographique débutant lors du A-Day à San Francisco, où la célébration d'un nouveau QG tourne au drame, conduisant à la dissolution de l'équipe ; cinq ans plus tard, Kamala Khan réforme les Avengers pour affronter l'organisation AIM. Le système de jeu permet de former des escouades de quatre joueurs en ligne, de débloquer des compétences et équipements pour onze héros uniques, et la Definitive Edition inclut l'ensemble des missions et héros additionnels sortis en DLC, ainsi que plus de 400 tenues cosmétiques.
Concernant la durée de vie, la campagne principale est estimée à 12,5 heures pour atteindre 104 heures en complétion totale. Les notes agrégées s'établissent à 68 sur Metacritic et OpenCritic. L'accueil critique est contrasté : Game Over Online souligne des qualités visuelles et sonores mais pointe des problèmes de chargement et de qualité de vie ; Hobby Consolas salue l'ambition du projet, sa campagne solo spectaculaire et son système de combat agréable ; des joueurs sur Metacritic regrettent une expérience ennuyeuse, répétitive et tournée vers un modèle en ligne comparé à Fortnite ; un avis positif sur Steam apprécie le multijoueur mais note la répétitivité de l'endgame, des quêtes bugguées et un déséquilibre sur certains héros comme Hulk.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« It’s a great-looking and sounding game, but one that definitely needs some fine-tuning with the loading and quality of life issues that hamper the experience. Still, the good far outweighs the bad, and Marvel’s Avengers ends up being one of the best superhero experiences ever put in a video game. »
« Marvel´s Avengers is a very ambitious game, with a spectacular single player campaign and multiplayer designed as an MMO, with an enjoyable combat system and the promise of lots of content and new heroes incoming. Some missions can get repetitive. »
« Avengers is in great shape right now, dazzling with its story and action. I’m hooked on the end-game content that is available now, and I want to see just how powerful these heroes can become after leveling them completely. »
« If all you want is to play through the video game equivalent of a Marvel movie, then it does an excellent job. If you're hoping for something you can play for infinite hours with constant updates, the truth is that it's too early to tell. What we played was fun for a few hours of co-op, but I have my doubts about its long-term viability. It's by far the best Avengers game ever made, and with the exception of Hulk (whose Hulk: Ultimate Destruction remains the pinnacle of Hulk gameplay), it features the best video game version of the superheroes to date. »
« With a stellar campaign and set pieces that rival anything in the MCU, Marvel’s Avengers already delivers a ton of value. But add on the endless multiplayer and future characters, and this game is poised to be a classic. Some early bugs distract from the fun, but the bones of the game are solid. Marvel’s Avengers is an amazing achievement. »
« For right now, Marvel’s Avengers is constantly fun to play with its easily accessible combat and a story that should not be missed. Yes, some assembly may be required but like every great superhero story, you need a great origin. »
« Marvel's Avengers leaves us with a title loaded with a multitude of options and fun with the most powerful heroes in the world. The campaign created by Crystal Dynamics shines and hooks, although the multiplayer mode can become heavy and repetitive after many hours, the room for improvement is vast, although the result for now passes with flying colors. »
« Marvel’s Avengers isn’t quite a slam dunk, but as a co-op friendly superhero game it does a lot more right than wrong. Major tentpole features such as the game’s story campaign and diverse roster of heroes are further bolstered by accessible progression systems, well-balanced team play, and the unshakable resolve of protagonist Kamala Khan. The game is obviously better with friends, but even as a solo venture it makes a strong showing out of the gate while also teasing plenty of future potential. »

« boring game with a boring story, mediocre gameplay and **** online cause every single game has to be f*cking fortnite cause fortnite makes money and investors like money so do what they want, not what the people who acctually play your games want »
« Joguinhozinho legal e bacana que foi brutalmente derrubado e apagado Plmns eu peguei a picareta grátis do fortnite »
« I really loved the game, but too bad it shut down in 2023. I hope we get a new a avegers game with a different studio. »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« Marvel’s Avengers delivers solid combat and a surprisingly decent story, giving fans a chance to step into the boots of their favourite heroes. Unfortunately, its messy UI, confusing progression systems, and missions often locked or dragged down by paywalls undermine the experience. What could have been a strong live-service superhero adventure ends up feeling disjointed and limited, with flashes of fun buried under frustrating design choices »
« I don’t think this game deserves to be rated this low: Maybe when it first came out but I played it after all the expansions were already out so I’m probably biased. I didn’t finish the spider-man part but I still had fun playing it. I just played it solo but I bet it would be fun to play with friends. The fighting is pretty fun and I remember the story being pretty good. I bet it would be worth it if you got it during one of those cheap sales. »
« The game is only worth it if you ignore every other content, & just focus on the main story, but defiantly not at full price. The Live Service is awful too, & implemented so badly that the servers now shut down. Still a superior story than the Last of Us Part 2. »
« I thought it would be worse. If you like Marvel's movies and comics and action games you'll probably enjoy it. I appreciate that they didn't normalize the islamic veil but they messed it again when the main character recognized that she was wearing a burkini... »
