Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (Switch) review thread - GS gives an 8

Gamespot - 8

IGN - 7.8

Game Informer - 7

Eurogamer - (Warning, a WYP review)

Kotaku

For review conglomerates, here's Metacritic.

Well, it's looking to score decently so far. Still, can't wait to play it.

Why is this exclusive?

Nintendo was the only publisher to publish it.

Where is a Microsoft Marvel exclusive don't they have money? If nintendo and sony can do it why can't microsoft pay a bill and get one made.

Ouch a 74% meta? PASS

GameSpot's 8/10 is only a review in progress.

lol hard pass and sheep in here are saying it looks great haha

you let scores dictate what you play?

wow

Looks like an ok game. May check it out when really cheap.

@KBFloYd: why not. Those collective opinion help to form a decision on uncertainty. you want buy MUA 3 or crackdown 3 its your choice, you may like or dislike those games but I'm not gonna bother.

I might get it once it hits the bargain bin.

There are too many other great Switch games to bother with this one right now - like next week's Fire Emblem.

The main complaints are that it is repetitive and the combat is simple, some framerate dips and combat readability issues, but it is seen as ultimately better than its predecessors.

So if you enjoyed 1 or 2, you will probably enjoy this one too.

What is interesting is that pretty much every reviewer seems to have some solid criticism, but also states they really had a good time playing it anyway.

Reviews are pretty much what’s expected for a game of this caliber and my purchase was never contingent on them anyways. That said, this is a day one purchase despite I'm a Marvel fanboy, I just want something new to play on my Switch and plus, love the way they design Captain Marvel's looks to be on par with the latest MCU movies. That alone warrants a purchase because I love Captain Marvel :)

It's rather pointless to contribute to review threads. Everyone's expectation is 95-100 for every game so when you get scores that are not that high people just call the game garbage. It's a stale cycle that goes on for too long.

I think its great if people love the game, more power to them. Me, PASS.

@sakaixx: but but but

Looks like a game my 4 year old will love. I’m in

I just shared it because I wanted to see how the game fare in general. That's it.

About the same as the others then. Middling games which aren't really worth the time. Not niche, just really really average.

I was pretty excited for it, but I'm gonna have to pick it up later.

Looking pretty good. I enjoyed the previous two games and this one seems to have turned out well enough. Will probably pick this up after I get Fire Emblem Three Houses this month.

I'm guessing it has the same problems like the others, it gets really repetitive and it doesn't matter which character you chose.

Downloading now

I love this series so this will be very fun for me. This is a great year for Switch for sure.

It looks better than that Avengers game, give it that.

The series has always been pretty fun, if not that deep.

Gamespot gives it an 8

I'll probably grab this once it comes down in price a little (lolNinty.) I never played the first 2, so maybe i'll try and grab those on PS4.

Pass, I"m picking up Fire Emblem Three Houses

I'll definitely get it eventually but right now I am torn between mario maker 2, this, and fire emblem, not sure which one I will go for first.

Straight up.

Gamespot gives every good game that they arent being paid to promote an 8, so there's that to take into consideration.

This game looks so brain dead and bland. I don’t get the excitement at all.

Wow, GS higer than IGN.

Wait, was there excitement for this game?

After playing it for an hr or so I have to say it has feelings reminiscent of Transformers Devastation or TMNT MIM which I enjoyed both. I haven't played enough to say how good or bad it is but I have played enough to know I want to continue and see where it goes. The rpg elements have a learning curve and I have yet to see if there are any collectibles (like the first) but I could have sworn I picked up an item on the first stage that said art or ark or something and the icon looked like the shape of Switch cart. I highly enjoyed that part of the original and will be bummed if it doesn't continue in part 3. Just my opinion but if this were on the other consoles rather than only Switch I could see the negative nancy types changing their tune.

My 4 (almost 5) year old says it’s a GOTY contender. Super Mario Party is currently his runner up.

My 1 (almost 2) year is still pulling for MK11

Looks it's getting better reviews than Days Flop

Higher than Days Gone

Played it a decade ago.

Days Gone still on free rent?

@goldenelementxl: now if only any of that were true lol
