Top 10 Best Superhero Themed Games for PS4 & PS5
Hey guys, so maybe you’re tired of playing all of those games that you have on the shelf and now you want to try out something new. Well have you ever considered playing superhero games on the PS4 or PS5? Well good for you because today we’re going to be giving you a list of the top 10 best superhero games on the PS4 and PS5.
So without further ado, let’s jump right into it:
Number 10: Lego DC Super-Villains
We were quite impressed by the authenticity of the story completely following the comic story of the Injustice Syndicate, also known as Crime Syndicate of America. There are also some pretty good boss fights that you can enjoy along the way as you fight against superheroes and even better, help each other villains along the way. Each level is filled with the excitement of doing things basically filled with chaos. You know exactly what you’re getting when you buy a Lego game – the story, build and collect throughout the story.
Your character is known as the rookie and this somehow becomes an integral part of the plot. Each character is capable of performing special actions and the animations of these characters are really cool and makes the adventure just even more charming. In fact, enchanting is the word we’d like to use to describe this game from start to finish.
Number 9: Infamous Second Son
This game tells the story of the world after the events at the end of the second game. In Infamous Second Son you’ll play as Delsin Rowe. Infamous Second Son is an open world game that allows you to explore the city as you wish. Every time Delsin gets a new power, your playing pattern is guaranteed to immediately change. It feels like playing a different game but set in the same place. The sensibility also really helps the story in the game – seeing Delsin’s new powers was like watching a new episode of a TV series. This is also guaranteed to make you curious to get into the story and see what kind of new powers Delsin will be able to use next.
Sucker Punch, developer of the Infamous series and also the Sly Cooper series, is a subsidiary of Sony so it’s not surprising why Infamous Second Son was developed as an exclusive game for Sony’s machine.
Number 8: Batman Arkham Knight
In this game you can enjoy in more detail how Batman thinks in solving problems and fighting crime. In terms of gameplay, especially Batman’s attack movements, many of them are still the same as the previous series. There are several additional features such as fear multi-takedown which makes Batman able to beat several enemies at once in a short amount of time.
Apart from this new feature we will see a very starking change with the Batmobile. You’ll be able to drive around Gotham City to complete missions using this legendary Batman car. The quality of the graphics presented cannot be doubted. You can enjoy very detailed effects starting from the character faces which look increasingly realistic to the environment in the game which just makes it even more natural.
Number 7: Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order
For you Star Wars fans out there, this game presents a story that is quite complex but also interesting. The reason is if you follow the film series carrying the action adventure genre, Jedi Fallen Order requires you to memorize the path. Apart from that the right timing is also very crucial in battle. Now try to imagine combat system in the style of From Software games but with the characteristics of the Star Wars franchise such as the lightsaber combat or Force attacks. This is what makes Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order such an epic game to play.
Collaborating with Unreal Engine is the best decision from Respawn Entertainment because you’ll be presented with details that will spoil your eyes regarding the view. Though you don’t need to ask about the quality because the map rendering carried out by the development team is very detailed. Respawn Entertainment has also shown satisfactory results because we can enjoy all the displays and mechanisms in the game.
Number 6: Marvel’s Midnight Suns
The main character in this game is not a superhero character that you already know, but an original character named the Hunter, who is the son of the main antagonist Lilith. Coming from the developer Firaxis Games, you’ll find a combat formula that is similar to the XCOM series but just feels more casual. Instead, the battle in this game uses a turn-based strategy system where you’ll bring a team of three superheroes of your choice.
What makes the battle system unique however is that the list of commands you can give is not something definite or fixed, but it’s based on random cards. In our opinion this game’s combat system is very well done and genius because you’ll be forced to keep thinking at every turn. The audio presentation of the game itself really feels luxurious and extraordinary. I really like the voiceover of this game which makes the character feel truly alive.
Number 5: Spider-Man Miles Morales
Spider-Man Miles Morales, still being developed by Sony’s first party studio Insomniac, doesn’t offer anything revolutionary compared to its prequel Spider-Man. Spider-Man Miles Morales is smaller, faster, stronger. Gameplay in Spider-Man Miles Morales is much more violent though than the previous game because Miles has aggressive movements and striking power.
His electricity based ability Venom Strike for example allows him to hit enemies until they fly away. Apart from Venom Strike, Miles Morales also has the cloaking skill where he becomes transparent for a few moments. With this skill Miles can sneak up and paralyze enemies much more quickly and freely than Peter could.
Number 4: Star Wars Jedi Survivor
Star Wars Jedi Survivor comes with many new features added making your gaming experience very refreshing. First finally the dual wield lightsaber that appeared at the end of Jedi Fallen Order has become one of the new stances that you can use. Talking about the Holo map, the map feature in the game feels more detailed and clearer than before with many new features and mechanics. This game is truly a very interesting sequel.
The end, the games were released by PlayStation studios in recent years which feels like expansions of the first series because of the lack of additional features. Even though it’s still uses Unreal Engine 4, the visual appearance of Star Wars Jedi Survivor has still experienced quite significant improvements. In general the accompanying background music also sounds right for the moment that is taking place. Sometimes it feels so immersive when accompanying adventures and battles, it feels like you’re watching a real Star Wars film as you play along the game.
Number 3: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Square Enix released a game entitled Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy on multi-platforms. The developer still maintains the originality of all the elements in Guardians of the Galaxy. Of course the game mechanism is fun and enjoyable to play. Fortunately this game is already present at that level of expectations.
Playing it on a PS5 console has brought special pleasure for me, especially when facing a horde of enemies within shooting range. Playing this game actually made me forget that Guardians of the Galaxy is still part of the Marvel Universe. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy already looks very good in terms of graphics. It is even able to outperform other Marvel games on the same platform on PS5. Each character is played in a very detailed and straightforward manner.
Number 2: Marvel Spider-Man Remastered
As one of the most famous and biggest superhero houses in all corners of the world, Marvel gave Insomniac Games the freedom to choose one of the names to adapt into a video game. Similar to Batman, Spider-Man also has two fighting styles namely stealth and combat. Even though it’s similar in hindsight, Insomniac doesn’t necessarily copy Rocksteady’s formula.
If you like fighting directly you will fight aggressively using Spider-Man’s skills. It’s different when you decide to finish off the enemy in stealth mode with much less risk. You can utilize ceilings, holes or high platforms to take them down in one attack.
Receiving an injection of funds from Sony, Insomniac succeeded in maximizing the PS4’s potential to its limit having visual quality on par with other AAA passing games. They represent the Marvel version of New York City which is very rich in texture and detail.
Number 1: Marvel Spider-Man 2
Marvel Spider-Man 2 is a superhero game developed by Insomniac Games for the PlayStation 5 platform. This game, which is an adaptation of the popular superhero series, is highly anticipated by fans all over the world. The gameplay of this game is also very simple where various types of gamers can easily fight and go on adventure in New York City.
Not only do they use punches and webs, but Spider-Man also has sophisticated tools that can help you fight. Apart from sophisticated tools, each character has different skills according to their strength and fighting style. Apart from fighting of course, Spider-Man can swing using his web in New York City. In this game, not to mention Insomniac has also created a new feature that is even cooler and can make it easier for players to get around the city. This feature is web wings which are small wings used by both Spider-Man to hover in New York City.
