Nintendo Switch game First Look - Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order

It's been a while since I played a multiplayer co-operation game. That was in the year 2000, playing a Fighting Force game on Playstation One.

Well, unfortunately this post is not about Playstation One games. Instead we're going to take a look at the upcoming game on Nintendo Switch; the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order.
Few pointers:

Multiplayer Co-Op Mode

The game is designed with up to four players to co-operate for a single objective. Similar to other co-op fighting games, you'll be tested on your work-rate and ability to work as a team, using the abilities that adds value to the overall objective.

Marvel Characters

The game has 26 characters excluding unlockable ones. All 26 characters have different fighting styles and abilities for you to explore.

Level-Up

The beauty of this game is that you'll have the chance to develop the character. Missions and side missions allow you to earn
coins to upgrade your character's ability and perhaps weapons as well.

Storyline

The game's storyline is build around the X-Men's environment, most notably the Xavier's academy. The super-villains, most notably Thanos and Magneto will be part of the storyline, which adds a bit of movie atmosphere during the game.

My Opinion

As a Marvel fan, I would definitely buy this game as I get the chance to explore the Marvel characters. So, that may add better replayability value to the game.

However, the game could be repetitive when performing battles against the enemies. It really depends on how the Marvel Alliance series develop the A.I (Artificial Intelligence) on each battles to strike a balance between fun factor and challenge factor.

Spider-Man PS4 2019 Review: I’ve Never Get Bored Playing This Walkthrough!

Spider-Man 2018 is an amazing action-adventure game influenced by Marvel comics, developed by Insomniac games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game features Peter Parker as the main character, who is secretly known as Spider-Man. You’ll also get to play other characters like Mary Jane Watson and Miles Morales during the Main game storyline. The best is that you’ll be able to roam around the city that never sleeps, New York. This article will review the walkthrough for the Main Game, DLC and some Side missions.

Main Game

The Main Game covers Peter Parker’s life as Spider-Man. He’s a grown and mature individual that needs to balance life between college and fighting crimes. The storyline is straight forward and what intrigue me the most is that you’ll get the opportunity to unlock Spider-Man’s battle suits, gadgets and skills by completing main missions and side missions. You’ll encounter many super-villains and the most difficult part is when you’ll need to encounter two villains at the same time, for example Electro and Vulture.

DLC: The City that never sleeps

The additional downloadable missions, which aims to eliminate Hammerhead and his thugs in the three DLC series. The three DLCs will reveal Hammerhead’s true intention with the Maggia group.

The Heist

The Heist as the name suggest, requires Spider-Man to be stealthier in missions when approaching Hammerhead’s thugs. I felt the missions are easy relative to other DLCs since I’m used to play stealth game-based like Metal Gear Solid. Here Spider-Man is tested on his stealth capabilities, which means equipping him with stealth skills is crucial.

Turf War

Turf War as the name suggest, requires Spider-Man to brawl with Hammerhead’s thugs. The thugs are extremely strong, equipped with stolen Sable’s battle suits. Spider-Man needs to equipped with high brawling skills and defenses from attacks like launching missiles. From this DLC onwards, I prefer to use Spider Bro and Spider Drones combination as you’re surrounded by tough enemies both on the ground and on the air.

Silver Lining

Silver Lining is one of my favorites among the other two DLCs. The DLC encompasses most characters in Spider-Man PS4, especially Silver Sable. The all out brawl battle from Turf Wars continues as the game leads to the potential rematch against Hammerhead. Unlike Turf Wars, Hammerhead’s people are fully equipped with Sable’s gear making them incredibly strong to beat.

Side Missions

Taskmaster & Screwball Challenges

Most popular side missions that allows you to get those base tokens to upgrade your Spider-Man level, gadgets and skills. The missions comprise stealth, combat and web-swinging skills which you’ll need to find the right set-up for Spider-Man. Personally, I find the combat challenges as the easiest to get to Spectacular level while other missions tend to get repetitive in nature.

Tombstone

One of the interesting side mission’s storylines that initially triggered during Demon’s investigation. In a nutshell, Spider-Man have to complete all the side missions to eventually face the Tombstone himself. That’s the toughest boss in all side missions.

All Recordings

Collecting all recordings was one of my favourite side missions after Tombstone. Spider-Man needs to collect all the recording evidences scattered on the New York city. Once you’ve collected them all, you’ll witness an interesting ending on Yuri Watanabe.

My OTHER Other Job

In this walkthrough, Peter Parker will attempt to repair the damaged arm by taking part in the first available circuit projects.

Keeping the Peace

This mission task Spider-Man to repair a series of surveillance towers throughout the city, after taking a call from Yuri Watanabe. 

After repairing the tower, it will reveal break-in crime, assault in progress and Peter Parker's webbed backpacks from high school all over the city.
