I finished the single player campaign yesterday. I thought it was quite a lot of fun actually. Not an award winning story, but a fun romp. I like the game and will continue with it for a bit, but I can't deny that especially in the later missions there are significant performance and polish issues. Clearly they were up against a time limit. This is a bit disappointing and I hope they'll get this sorted in the coming weeks.
I keep seeing people making comments about shallow combat but I just don't think that's true at all. Sure, at regular difficulty levels you can button mash your way through it, but even on Normal there are some fights and situations where you'll have to plan. But at higher difficulty you really do have to start planning your equipment loadouts, character builds and synergies with the rest of the team. Some characters are going to be much better than others at taking out drones. Some characters are going to make better tanks, and some are going to be healers. Some will have better stun mechanics. Just looking at Iron Man, whether you choose to put your skill points in lasers, repulsors or rockets will significantly change his effectiveness in different situations. I think it's way too early to say how well balanced everything is, but I can reasonably say that it's not shallow.
