Why these picks belong together
Superhero games have a bad historical average, so this pack is the filtered list — only the ones where the traversal, the combat or the story is genuinely best-in-class. They sit together because each nails the fantasy of being that specific hero, and between them they cover PC and console without duplicating the same experience twice.
How to start
- 1
Check the platform on each pick before buying — the list spans PC and console.
- 2
Start with the Arkham or Spider-Man games. They're the two series that set the standard.
- 3
Play them in release order within a series — the mechanics build on each other.
