I played the Reassemble campaign (main single-player campaign) during the free period, and ended up not buying the game after, but it was somewhat tempting. It's worth pointing out that the free period came with a x4 (quadruple) XP gain event. This means I leveled up a lot more than I oughta, which felt good. But it makes the normal XP gain seem paltry and grindy.

So my Yes recommend is pretty conditional. As a free game I enjoyed playing it, but the live service aspects of the game are unsavoury. Hero / character building system is a live service snoozefest (constantly swap out new gear to make 4 numbers go up.... or focus on a couple numbers of your choice to slightly specialize your hero...zzzz.... we can't add any more water to this RPG punch).

Gameplay is generally fun, but it is constrained. Common example, oh nice I'm Iron Man! It's a dream come true! I can fly!!! Game: RETURN TO COMBAT ZONE...3...2...1... Or you hit the "ceiling" of the level in no time flat. Eh.

Having a somewhat balanced hero design also means that The Hulk doesn't seem particularly stronger than Black Widow. Large dissonance coming from the movies. Hard thing to solve given what the developers were aiming at (co-op).

Enemy design is probably the most boring part of the game. Various robots and a few human opponents. Bosses were quite disappointing. Mostly boring robots. HP sinks.

Despite all this, you get to play as Avengers characters in a fairly competent third-person action brawler.

Marvel's Avengers at full price? No.
On sale? Maaaaaaaaaaaaybe.
Free? Yes, give it a shot.

It's not "the" mythical superhero game and doesn't move the subgenre forward. Batman Arkham City and the PS4/PS5 Spider-Man games still the peak. Probably because they aren't live service trash.
