The Marvel universe is a great and expansive universe with many superheroes packing different abilities in it. The Marvel comics have been around for a long time, but recently, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been catching a lot of people’s attention. The stories and movies are well written and are really interesting. Apart from movies and comics, Marvel also makes games for their movies and comic superheroes. Now, some games may have their flaws but being thrown right into the action is always fun, and that is exactly what these games do. So, here is a list of some of the 15 best Marvel games you can play:
1. Deadpool (PC, PS4, PS4, Xbox 360 Xbox One)
Deadpool is perhaps one of the most hilarious (anti-)heroes in the Marvel Universe. He is famously known as the “Merc With The Mouth” and is portrayed as a self-aware character who usually breaks the fourth wall. The Rated R hero has a game of his own which is no different. The game has you hack and slash your enemies and spew guts and blood everywhere. The game has a lot of the signature elements of Deadpool, such as the fourth wall break, vulgar humor, and a lot of profanities.
The game starts off with Deadpool introducing you to the studio and his voice actor, and then him ripping off the pages of the game’s script and instead going on his own adventure. The game has a decent storyline, with good characters but it is the nature of Deadpool himself which makes the game so much fun.

2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (PC, PS4, PS2, Xbox 360)
This is perhaps one of the best games put out by Marvel and might be one of the few instances where the game is better than the movie itself (not better than Logan though). The game has Hugh Jackman play as Logan, so the game stays true to the Wolverine played in the MCU. Origins: Wolverine is another M-rated Marvel game, so you know it is going to be the real deal. The game is filled with brutal deaths with tons of blood. The story might not be the best one out there, but it exists to have you fight with a lot of bad guys and shred them into pieces or get shredded into pieces yourself.
The game is not easy and you will get a lot of damage which exposes Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton, further adding to the genuineness of the game. The game also has unlockables and custom outfits which you can equip to your liking. Origins: Wolverine is one of the few games which really makes you feel like that you are a part of the game, and is one heck of a game.

3. X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse (PC, PS2, Xbox)
The Rise of Apocalypse is an RPG styled game such as Diablo. The game has the basic elements of an action RPG but with X-Men characters throughout the game. These characters all have special abilities and powers which can be upgraded and made more powerful. The objective of the game is to take down the supervillain Apocalypse and to do that, the game allows a lot of team and character customization.
Like the previous X-Men Legends, you can form teams, even if it is with nonmutants like Iron Man, or even with the Brotherhood of the evil mutants. The game delivers on the story and has a lot of dialogues between the characters. The interactions were also quite interactive, as the dialogues are designed with the history of these characters in mind.

4. Marvel Vs Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes (PS2, PS4, Xbox, Xbox 360, PSP)
Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is a button mashing, exhilarating, 3v3 fighter game and is perhaps one of the greatest fighting games ever. The game is unlike most Marvel games and was made in collaboration with Capcom – the company which makes Street Fighter. Thanks to this collaboration, we got an amazing game with a huge roster. About 56 playable characters, each with their own special moves. The game has all the major characters from Marvel and Capcom, such as Iron Man and Mega Man. When these characters perform special moves, they take up the entire screen with gorgeous animations.
The game was so popular that it even got an HD re-release nine years after the original. The game has you battle a team of three members, with your own team having three members as well. This gauntlet style battle and the different special moves and characters make the game refreshing every time you play it, and each battle has something new in it.

5. Captain America: Super Soldier (PS4, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, DS)
Captain America is one of Marvel’s most important superheroes and was the first Avenger. He also helps in forming up the new Avengers with the Black Widow. The game Captain America Super Soldier takes us to the first movie where Steve Rogers becomes Captain America. The game takes place in the movie universe, and has some references to the movie, though not much. The game is set in a castle with various levels, puzzles, and enemies.
In the game, you will have to face countless enemies, which are all creations of a mad scientist. The game will have you take down antennas, guns, and even tanks. The campaign is about six hours long with boss fights with some of Captain America’s nemesis such as the Viper and Iron Cross.

Marvel Heroes Omega is a different type of game compared to other Marvel games on this list. This game is an MMORPG and was recently made available to consoles after years of being available on PC.

In this game, you are to team up with other members and stop him. The game offers traditional MMORPG features such as character customization, interaction with NPCs, and even quite a bit of loot.
