Whether critically, or commercially, or both.
I am highly skeptical about the Avengers game at the moment. It doesn't look like it has any identity of its own, instead being a cheap straight-to-video copy of the MCU. Even the actors all seem to be cheaper versions of the MCU stars. The comparison I saw repeatedly was "it looks like a porn parody." Now yes, the MCU is the most popular film franchise ever, but we already have proof from stuff like Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite that copying it does not necessarily translate to success. Nothing about the game looked all that interesting when it was shown at E3 either, i.e., there was no unique hook. I'm expecting high 60s/low 70s on MC and for it to be a financial disappointment.
What other 2020 games are likely bombs?
