OK hear me out, because the default answer here is going to be Spider-man and it is a masterpiece but I'm here to campaign for the absolute narrative supremecy of Guardians of the Galaxy.

Sure the gameplay is a little off kilter, but the banter between the cast is incredible and the storyline perfectly captures the characters. I've never had so many giggles just walking around in a videogame.

It deserves so, so much more love than it actually got and I hope so hard that there's another in the works ❤️

I still haven't gotten round to playing Guardians of the Galaxy, but it's been on my list for so damn long. I've heard lots of good things - I think come December, when the new launches slow down, this one may be near the top of my list.

My personal favorite superhero game (and is a bit of an oldie) has to be "Batman: Arkham Asylum"

This game absolutely nails 4 things for me that I love in every game:

Story, Gameplay, Atmosphere and most of all, Character.

Almost everything in the game was tastefully done, combining the best of retro and modern games - Retro elements, and modern game mechanics

The game's atmosphere, combined with a fantastic narrator's voice (The narrators voice makes a massive difference) makes for an immersive game, whilst the combat, may I say, for its time, is probably the best out there that I've seen!

The storyline was great, combined with the fun little detective work games that were strewn into the gameplay keeps things fresh and compelling whilst the iconic and memorable characters really do catch on (Thanks Barbara for your help! Or should I say, Oracle)

The only minor let down for this game that I found were that battles (Mainly boss battles) ended up quite repetitive, that even a Dark Souls player might cry.

All in all, this game was fantastic for its time, for both retro lovers and modern ones too!

Agreed! For some reason, I really vibed with Arkham Asylum, but couldn't gel with Arkham City anywhere near as much, despite it being "better" in almost every sense. It's been a while since I've played - it may be one that is due another playthrough sometime soon.
