LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
Superheroes and Lego have gone hand in hand with each other for years, but that’s usually been on the DC side of things, at least until fairly recently. Sure, there have been LEGO Marvel toys, but Traveler’s Tales and the toy company have been mostly focused on George Lucas properties and a certain pointy-eared superhero for their games. 2013 was the first game for fans of the House of Ideas, and it ended up being one of the stronger games in the overall franchise.
Like with the DC series, the fun in LEGO Marvel comes in how natural it feels to integrate the wide roster of characters into the game. Even if you’re someone who doesn’t read comics, it does feel like a big deal to have guys like Iron Man and Wolverine traveling to Asgard or the Savage Land. It also helps that the game is consistently funny and playing as each character is enjoyable. It could use some more mission variety, admittedly, and it has a few bugs, but the game overall is more than worth of being called Marvel.
