Post Arcade (National Post): 7.5 / 10 by Chad Sapieha

The latest Lego adventure lacks the freshness of Lego Dimensions, but still delivers plenty of laughs for fans of the blockbuster films

Full Review

IGN: 6.7 / 10 by Alanah Pearce

If you like the LEGO game formula, you have a preference for playing solo and you're a huge fan of MCU, there's still a lot of value for you in LEGO Marvel's Avengers, even despite a disted plot and annoying audio mixes. If you haven't played any of the others and you're thinking about picking up this one, I'd advise starting with just about any other game instead. This the weakest LEGO game I've played thus far, and had me missing games like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and LEGO Dimensions.
