Note that these games have been curated based on their features and gameplay.
Marvel’s Spider-Man
Swing through New York City as Spider-Man and enjoy being a part of a story that’s both familiar and different. Live Peter Parker’s dual life and enjoy a large variety of missions and challenges that take you through some of the most iconic landmarks of the city, and bring you face to face with unforgettable villains like the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus! One of the top reasons to get this game is that the actions and movements feel quite fluid, and this should add to the immersive aspect of the game. Apart from the central mission, this set includes DLC content like The Heist, Silver Lining, and Turf Wars.
Injustice 2
If you are a fan of the iconic game, Injustice: God’s Among Us, then Injustice 2 is a must-have. The game picks up just after the events of the first game. You play as various DC superheroes and supervillains who have to take on a threat even more incredible than a rogue Superman. While the single-player campaigns are fun to play, the game also offers multiple game modes including online multiplayer. On top of this, it also offers a large roster of DC characters to choose from.
Batman: Arkham Knight
The Arkham series is considered by many to be some of the best superhero games in the world. Batman: Arkham Knight is the fourth instalment in the Arkham series, and the premise is that the Scarecrow has taken over Gotham. You’ve got to overthrow his rule before the night ends. This open world game lets you explore the city and also is the first in the franchise to introduce the Batmobile as a playable gameplay mechanic. You can expect cool weaponry and fighting mechanics from this game. Apart from the main quest, there are quite a few side missions that bring you face to face with The Joker, Harley Quinn, and more.
Marvel's Avengers
Avengers is arguably one of the most famous movie franchises globally. Every Avenger movie features dozens of fan favourite superheroes fighting to save Earth from villainous forces. The movies raked in billions of dollars, so it was natural that video game companies would get in on the Avengers bandwagon and create a game on it. Square Enix launched Marvel's Avengers back in September 2020 with a 12-hour long campaign. The game starts with a terrorist attack during the Avengers Day parade, and the game’s protagonist, Kamala Khan gets caught up in that. Now she has to deal with the terrorist group known as AIM (Advanced Idea Mechanics) and help the Avengers “Reassemble” after their disbandment. As the story continues, you will get to smash villains using your favourite superheroes and save the city from a much bigger threat.
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
Batman movies have a habit of getting too dark and moody. If you’re looking for something with a light and joyful theme, then you should check out Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. The game features our favourite caped crusader who joins forces with other DC superheroes and fights off the evil mastermind Brainiac in space. The story is filled with twists and turns and has several things that you can interact with. You get to fight Brainiac forces in outer space using your favourite character from a roster of 150 different playable characters that have amazing superhero powers and abilities. You will be visiting a number of iconic locations like the Batcave, Hall of Justice and Justice League Watchtower. Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is a must-have for every Playstation 4 owner who loves superhero games.
LEGO: The Incredibles
For every 90s kid, nothing’s more nostalgic than playing with Legos and watching The Incredibles, and this game is a perfect combination of both. Lego: The Incredibles is a lego themed superhero game developed by TT Fusion and is based on both the Incredibles movies. The game puts you in the shoes of the Parr family and lets you explore the massive hub world while using their powers to put the city’s supervillains behind bars. You can also team up with your friends and family in the 2-player split-screen co-op mode to assemble epic Lego builds. If you’re looking for a fun-filled game with a good storyline and split-screen co-op mode to enjoy with your loved ones, then Lego: The Incredibles is the perfect one for you.
