I tried the Open Beta. It was fine but not enough to make me fork over cash.
Well, it's why we're here anyway, to enjoy fully updated game at a fraction of the cost 🤣
Extra: Marvel's Avengers lack of success led to less than stellar initial reception to another Marvel game of Square Enix, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (2021). The devs had to spend time before release clarifying that GotG is purely single-player, with no microtransaction whatsoever.
GotG is a fantastic game that was inspired by the MCU but still offers a distinct experience due to its heavy comic roots (Drax the Destroyer instead of Drax the Dadjoke, for example). If you want a more focused Marvel experience, GotG is the game for you.
PS5 gives you PS5+PS4 games, it's new and will get further support. Switch gives you access to many of the Nintendo library. If you can entertain modding, many old consoles are good multi-platform machines. PS3 for PS1-3 games, PS Vita for many handheld systems, 3DS for the DS library. Modded Switch is a good system for emulation as well, although I'm not familiar with its scene
GotG and its combat system gives me the same feeling as FF15. For a party gameplay, it's a good system to develop the bonds between characters.
