How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.
| Component | Positive | Quality (0-100) | Weight (pseudo-reviews) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Press reviews (OpenCritic) | – | 72 | 32 |
| Creator reviews (4 tracked) | – | 74 | 1 |
| All-time Steam reviews | 67% | 65 | 1000 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | 52 | 24 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 81% | 75 | 4 |
| Calibration prior (typical game) | – | 72 | 50 |

“Overall, the core of Marvel vs Capcom Infinite is there, but it feels significantly held back by its adherence to only use MCU marvel characters. It hampered the roster and character design, two constant elements of the experience, and it's hard to overlook those and see the strong fighting system underneath.”

“Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite can be recommended to all fans of the genre, as well as users, who likes noisy gaming parties with friends. Despite the mediocre graphics and weak story campaign, this is an extremely fun game with an excellent combat system and legendary characters.”

“The Capcom game's flippant approach to its pedigree is evident right from the beginning of its Story Mode.”

“Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is a title that divides opinions. Despite a rocky start and the absence of classic figures like the X-Men, the game manages to sustain itself thanks to its solid, innovative and fun gameplay. The Infinity Stone system brings freshness to the formula, and Capcom's cast shines with accurate choices. Still, it's hard to ignore the visual flaws and the feeling that the game was shaped more by the MCU's marketing than by the franchise's legacy. Ultimately, Infinite delivers a competent experience that can please both newcomers and fighting game veterans, even if with some reservations. For fans of the series, it's still worth checking out, especially if the focus is on the gameplay. But those looking for a complete package, with visual appeal and a nostalgic cast, may end up a little disappointed.”

“At the moment though, as an overall package, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is far from what it could be.”

“The epic clash between two storied universes returns with Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, the next era of the action-fighting game series. Marvel and Capcom universes collide like never before as iconic characters team up for action-packed player-versus-player combat.”

“Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite is an addition to a series that adds deeper gameplay mechanics at the removal of some of the characters and aesthetic that made the game popular in the first place.”

“Enjoyable both by newcomers as well as experienced players, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite lacks impulse in several aspects. There is a lack of extra characters, although those who accept its 2vs2 fights and its arcade gameplay will enjoy a game made for fans.”

“For some hardcore fans and for some casual players, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite will do the job. The online and training modes are there for the former, whilst the arcade and accessible gameplay is there for the latter, but it doesn't make an effort to go all out and do all it can for both sets of players. Add to this the inexcusable locking out of characters as DLC, the weak overall roster, and rubbish presentation, and it is clear Capcom didn't want to put the effort into what could have been a great revival for the series. No doubt Infinite will still have appeal when it comes to the esports scene, but in the face of stiff competition, this one is likely to fall by the wayside before too long.”

“On the surface MvCI looks bland and lazy, but once you dive in you will find a fighting game that can stand with any other out there.”

“Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is more complete than Street Fighter V, and its accessible bouts fare favourably, even though they’re likely to divide long-time franchise fans. But this package lacks the polish that you’d expect from such a high-profile title, and even accounting for its forgettable story, it still winds up feeling light. While it’s all largely agreeable, we’re yet to be convinced that this title is a knockout, let alone a Hyper Combo finish.”
