10 Bad Video Games With ONE Great Level

10. The Light That Failed - Marvel's Avengers

When publisher Square Enix showed off their upcoming Avengers game on stage at E3 2019, reactions were mixed. The spectacular Golden Gate Bridge fight definitely made it feel like being in the movies, but once we got a good look at the characters, we came back down from that excitement pretty quickly.

But the gameplay matters most, right? And what we saw of it looked excellent. Better yet, when we played it, it was. Fighting your way through rubble and wreckage, switching between Earth's mightiest heroes as they work together to stop the assault by Taskmaster and his cronies made it seem like this game could be poised to sit right beside Insomniac's Spider-Man. (Which, let's face it, also had some slightly off-looking character designs.)

Sadly, the rest of the game wasn't like that introduction at all. Almost immediately it became clear that this was basically a repetitive beat-em-up and that first major level was designed specifically to demo well, rather than accurately represent the game. When you throw in the grinding and microtransactions that made this title notorious, The Light That Failed is a shining example of a great Avengers game that doesn't actually exist.
