Polygon-7.5
It's hard to deny how much of a blemish Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite's visuals are, but it would still be a mistake to skip this entry for that reason alone. The fast tagging system and the Infinity Stones change up the series' standard mechanics and open up so many options for creative play, no matter your skill level. Infinite is expressive, exciting and fun to play, but the visuals inspire more eyerolls than the hype this series deserves.

IGN- 7.7 (Reviewed by Darry)
While Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite's tag-team fights are like a bolt of lightning from Mjolnir, its story is dreadful and its characters look like they were deliberately designed to spawn a million derpy memes. It manages to be easily one of the worst and also one of the best fighting games in recent memory all at once. Like its heroes and villains, it's stuck between two worlds.

Gamespot (Review in Progress)- 8
Nevertheless, the mechanics underlying Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite make it an outstanding fighting game. Capcom has understood what caused the stagnation of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3's competitive scene and, to some extent, the issues Street Fighter V currently faces. In response it has created a fighting game focused on individuality and expression, with deep systems that reward studious players but also accommodate casuals. As someone who both plays and watches fighting games, I am excited to see what the future holds for Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite.

Game Informer- 8.25
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is a fighting game that tries to appeal to everyone, and it largely succeeds (unless you're a die-hard Wolverine fan). I occasionally cringed at the bad one-liners, but I also giggled with absurd joy every time photojournalist Frank West tossed a demigod like Thanos across a dilapidated space station. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite isn't trying to be taken seriously; it's a series of geeky what-if scenarios that play out in spectacular aerial battles. After I embraced that, I had a lot of fun.

US Gamer- 3.5/5
I came away from Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite generally enjoying the game. I think most of the players that liked Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be right at home here. I just feel more needed to be done to differentiate the game from its predecessor, especially in the roster department, which is a fighter's bread-and-butter. In many ways, this is a sequel, but when it comes to the roster overall, MvC Infinite feels like disappointing retread of what came before. So it's recommended for fighting fans, but temper your expectations accordingly

WCCF Tech- 7.9
Even with all my complaints, I couldn't help but enjoy my time with Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite. I really, really enjoy playing the game and playing with the variety of characters - it's just a shame that when combining two amazing universes such as Capcom and Marvel so much feels restrained or held back. Infinite might be the next big esports fighter, but this feels like a rough launch.

VG24/7- No Score
I still recommend Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite then, in spite of its slightly cheap feel. It gets the important stuff right, with its tag-team combat feeling as fresh, crazy and exciting as ever – and as a bonus, this game clearly has a bright competitive future too. If Capcom's record with SF5 is anything to go by the game might see significant improves over time also, but understand going in that the budget here isn't going to feel Marvel Cinematic Universe appropriate. MVCI is more of a B-movie, but it rocks that style with confidence, at least.

Push Square: No score, in progress
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is more complete than Street Fighter V, and its accessible bouts fare favourably – even though they're likely to divide long-time franchise fans. But this package lacks the polish that you'd expect from such a high-profile title, and even accounting for its forgettable story, it still winds up feeling light. While it's all largely agreeable, we're yet to be convinced that this title is a knockout – let alone a Hyper Combo finish.

My review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkuvmCZ_IxQ
I expected to hate the game based on my experience with the demo. If I had to score it now, It would probably be an 8/10, maybe higher.

The game's roster is beyond lame to me, so I've been soft on this release. Reviews seem to be exactly what I expect. 7-8s. Hope the people who are hype for it get something from it though.

People who are in it for the gameplay will get plenty from it.

Pretty much this. I actually think the characters look worse than UMVC3 even. Something about the artstyle that makes them look so freaking hideous. And I am a massive fan of all the previous games. Ah well...

Not super excited for it either, don't really feel the base roster and the game looks super cheap, I can wait until they add more characters.

Capcom need to get their shit together concerning fighting games as soon as possible. Marvel vs Capcom used to be the A+ student.

Forgot to mention that too. Totally agree. The game is ugly as all hell.

I don't care how fun the game is if I feel like I have to close my eyes while playing it.

Also the DLC stuff is unacceptable. It's highway robbery.

Sounds about right. Mediocre starting roster, lousy UI design and character models, amazing gameplay.

Very intrigued at how this game will evolve over time through patches and DLC.

At least on the Capcom side, they look worse and its basically the same roster but smaller.

Seems about right.

Still crazy to me that Capcom managed to have SF5 looks as good as it does, but then make a good chunk of the MvC:I character models look like they were ripped from a mobile game

At least it sounds like it plays great, which is really the main thing i'm buying it for

I agree. The visuals are really terrible. I'm hoping that over time Capcom will do something about it but I'm not confident.

Medicore reviews plus a mostly boring roster with the cool stuff being DLC?

Capcom fucked this game up so bad in that regard.

Plus its obviously visually appalling, and it doesn't seem to be more accessible because of the crazy tag/infinity combos.

But also Iron Man's in it and its on all platforms so who knows?

I don't disagree with anything you said, but we've seen a lot this year that there's a significant disconnect between the forums and greater market.

I'm in no way saying it's going to do well with any certainty... But it's still Marvel game so we'll see.

Wouldn't mediocre be around the 6's to low 7's?

As far as sales go, that'll be interesting to see.

This is about what I would expect. It's at the same Metascore as Street Fighter V.

This makes sense given that it seems like a more complete product, but expectations have also raised over time.

Yeah, I don't see it matching Capcom's expectations. I'm interested in whether Capcom will give this title the same incremental release schedule as SF5.
