Video games, similar to movies and television, remain incredibly popular. While some games are quickly developed and become huge hits, that success isn’t guaranteed for every big-name superhero game.
I’ve played a lot of superhero games, and it’s a shame so many just fade away. Honestly, even the older, less popular ones deserve to be remembered and given another shot. It bugs me when good games get totally forgotten!
LEGO DC Super-Villains Pays Tribute to DC Comics
LEGO DC Super-Villains often gets overlooked in the LEGO video game series. However, it boasts a unique story and a fantastic voice cast, including beloved actors from the DC Animated Universe like Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, and Tara Strong, all returning to play their famous characters.
The game became more imaginative, letting players design their own character, called the Rookie, and even team up with the villains. It feels like a heartfelt tribute to the DC universe, and we really appreciate that.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Remains a Forgotten Switch Exclusive
The first two Marvel Ultimate Alliance games are still loved by fans, but the third game isn’t as memorable. It’s not a bad game, but many players seem to have forgotten that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 even exists.
The game feels just as good as the previous installments, retaining the core elements fans love. While it draws heavily from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to make it accessible to newcomers, the result is incredibly satisfying.
Superman: Shadow of Apokolips Is One of the Few Good Superman Games
Look, Superman games haven’t always been great, but Superman: Shadow of Apokolips is actually really good! As a big fan of Superman: The Animated Series, I was so happy to see how much the game captured the look, story, and even the voice actors from the show. It really feels like playing an episode!
It feels like stepping into a Superman episode, showcasing incredible control and power. This demonstrates that something truly special can be created.
Deadpool is One of the Funniest Games of All Time
As a huge Deadpool fan, I have to say the best part of the game is definitely Deadpool himself! They really didn’t hold back – it’s a total celebration of everything that makes him, well, him. It’s not just that he talks to you, it’s that every single part of his personality is front and center, and it’s amazing!
The Deadpool game is known for its humor, poking fun at Marvel heroes, common comic book themes, and video games themselves. Nolan North gives a fantastic performance as Deadpool, perfectly capturing the character’s personality. It’s unfortunate that fewer people have been able to experience this game, as it’s currently only available on older gaming consoles.
The Ultimate Hulk: Ultimate Destruction Was Ahead of its Time
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is widely considered the best Hulk video game. It stands out with its expansive open world and truly lets players embrace the Hulk’s destructive power.
Fans who enjoyed the level of destruction in Donkey Kong Bananza will likely enjoy this game as well. The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was innovative for its time and remains a standout title.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine Is a Better Game than Movie
Despite its unconventional development, the game turned out surprisingly well. It stays true to the movie’s story but feels more like actually being Wolverine. The game received a mature rating, which was unexpected given the PG-13 rating of the film.
The Uncaged Edition of the game showed much more blood and intense violence during Wolverine’s attacks, making his Berserker Rage feel truly wild and animalistic. This version sets a high bar for the full release of Marvel’s Wolverine.
inFAMOUS Needs a Comeback
Sucker Punch Productions’ inFAMOUS is still considered one of their most successful games. It tells the story of Cole, a character who develops electric superpowers, and players get to choose whether he becomes a hero or a villain.
Players have a lot of freedom to act as they explore the detailed world of Empire City. Whether you choose to be a hero or a villain, inFAMOUS delivers a special superhero experience. Despite the release of later games in the series, the original inFAMOUS remains a PlayStation favorite.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns Combines XCOM and Persona
A strategy RPG might seem unusual for a Marvel game, but Firaxis Games absolutely nailed it. The game is captivating, blending fantastic gameplay with the kind of character relationships you see in games like Persona. It’s deeply strategic, and given that the team behind XCOM created it, it’s no surprise players were immediately hooked.
Marvel Midnight Suns offers a compelling experience beyond just the core gameplay. Forming relationships with iconic Marvel heroes like Spider-Man and Blade is a definite highlight. Even if you don’t typically enjoy deck-building games, this one might change your mind.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is Better than its MCU Counterpart
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy was initially overlooked because it came out shortly after another similar game. Many people assumed it was just a copy, but it’s actually a much stronger title than expected. It successfully carves its own identity, offering a really enjoyable experience with its team dynamic, separate from the Guardians of the Galaxy films by James Gunn.
Okay, so a lot of people weren’t thrilled that you only play as Peter Quill and tell the Guardians what to do, but honestly, it works really well. It makes every fight feel way more lively and a little unpredictable, and the music during those moments is fantastic! It’s a shame Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy didn’t get the recognition it deserved at launch. Now you can usually find it on sale for a great price, which is the perfect excuse to hang out with Marvel’s most dysfunctional family.
Batman: Arkham Origins is the Most Underrated Superhero Game of All Time
When Batman: Arkham Origins first came out, many fans weren’t impressed. It wasn’t made by the studio behind the previous games, Rocksteady – Warner Bros. Montreal developed it – and players were already eagerly anticipating Batman: Arkham Knight. Some felt Arkham Origins didn’t take enough risks, but it remains a fantastic game.
This game shares core elements with other Arkham titles, but it also establishes its own unique feel. A key difference is the setting: players experience a Christmas Eve night in Gotham City. The cold, wintry environment adds to the game’s mysterious and immersive atmosphere.
I really liked that Arkham Origins was a prequel to Arkham Asylum. It was cool seeing a younger, more rage-filled Batman. And honestly, Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker absolutely nailed their performances as Batman and the Joker – some of the best I’ve ever heard! It originally came out on PC, but I think Arkham Origins deserves a re-release on current consoles. It’d be awesome to play it on newer hardware.
