Playing A Game LEGO Marvel's Avengers PC

One might wonder why there's another LEGO Marvel game after LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, other than "for more money." I, for example, still wonder this.

On the one hand: From the outset, LEGO Marvel's Avengers sets out to be "more" than its predecessor, with more characters, more locations, and more movie plots to tie-in to.

On the other hand: After almost two hours, I still didn't yet make it to an open-world segment. Linear missions have never been the LEGO series' strong point. And while this game doesn't literally re-tread Super Heroes' ground, it feels an awful lot like it does.

I would like to come back to Avengers eventually, if only to play the Ant-Man stage, because Ant-Man is fucking cool. But having already played through Marvel Super Heroes, this game's offerings aren't very appealing.
