Agents Of Mayhem Review: 3 Ups & 7 Downs

2. Microtransactions Are Encouraged

There's a contingent of gamers who have seen just how much the industry won't relent on the inclusion of microtransactions, falling into the camp of "Look, you don't HAVE to buy them, stop complaining!", but such a mentality forgoes the fact you've paid full price for a premium product.

Microtransactions have zero place in triple-A gaming, represent only greed on behalf of the company in question, often break the progression of titles they're included in, and offer up the question of why are you paying to expedite a given thing, when you're supposed to be playing the game?

Agents of Mayhem's microtransactions come with a character recommending them to "Enhance the experience", and though they are mostly aesthetic and completely optional (which is always the fallback publishers use), stick out as utterly unnecessary in a single-player game.
