If you're on the fence about Marvel's Avengers, we'd recommend checking out the beta. While it didn't completely knock our socks off, there's a lot to enjoy about this game despite its status as a favorite whipping post among grumpy gamers. We'd have liked to see more distinct personalities between each of the playable characters, but the multiplayer modes are a heck of a lot of fun with friends.
Marvel's Avengers comes to Xbox One, PS4, and PC September 4.
