The gameplay of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is characterized by solid fighting mechanics and the introduction of strategic elements like the Infinity Stones, which enhance the experience. While the game offers a decent amount of single-player content and enjoyable multiplayer modes, some players find the combat simplistic and marred by technical issues, such as frame rate instability. Overall, the blend of mechanics provides an engaging experience, though it may not fully satisfy fans of the series due to a smaller character roster and aesthetic changes.
- “Solid fighting gameplay with new systems that are mostly well-implemented, decent amount of single-player content, enjoyable multiplayer component.”
- “Infinity Stones are a fun and strategic gameplay addition. 2 vs. 2 battles streamline fights in a satisfying fashion, and you can deactivate auto-combos.”
- “Lots of content; fighting itself remains largely enjoyable; ability to switch characters in and out on the fly makes for frantic and fast-paced battles; Infinity Surge mechanic adds a much-needed layer of depth and complexity; you can spend hours playing the arcade mode.”
- “Whilst the story mode has seen a much needed improvement, the outdated fighting mechanics and reliance on combos makes the combat feel more like a chore than something enjoyable.”
- “Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite has a lot of issues, many of which are hard to ignore, but it still ends up being an enjoyable experience thanks to its solid yet simplistic blend of mechanics.”
- “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.”

While some appreciate the improvements for casual players, the overall narrative experience is deemed unsatisfactory and fails to engage long-term interest.
- “The story mode is a welcome addition for more casual players and the auto combo and easy hyper combos with the inclusion of the beginners league makes it easier than ever for newcomers to get into the series.”
- “The story is bland and the audio and visuals could use a lot of work, but the rehashed roster is the greatest offender in the game.”
- “Its definitely making waves and people are enjoying the game competitively but the ugly characters, poor story, lack of any longevity and downright awful roster won’t keep my attention for long.”
- “Whilst the story mode has seen a much needed improvement, the outdated fighting mechanics and reliance on combos makes the combat feel more like a chore than something enjoyable.”
