Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is a tag-team fighting game for players who want Marvel and Capcom characters in fast, combo-heavy three-on-three matches. By our assessment, it still has the basic excitement of that crossover format: assists, launches, and team swaps can create lively scraps if someone likes lab work and momentum. The drawback is that it sits in a crowded series with stronger-loved entries, and its simplified presentation gave many fans less of the spectacle they expected from the matchup. In practice it is busy, bright, and very system-driven, but it can feel flatter than the best games in the line. Against earlier Marvel vs. Capcom titles, it is more stripped down and more divisive. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite makes most sense for people who care more about team-combo play than about pure fan-service shine.
