13 Criminally Underrated Marvel Superhero Video Games You Must Play

7. Captain America: Super Soldier

Captain America: Super Soldier is one of the best hidden gems of the entire superhero genre. Don't let its admittedly dumb title fool you, this superhero title knows exactly what it is, and because it understands its limitations, Super Soldier focuses on what it's best at and completely runs with it.

Although it doesn't quite have the polish or the attention to detail that you might expect from other triple-A games, this Cap's first official tie-in has a solid gameplay foundation that remains enjoyable for the duration. In a way it's a bit like X-Men Origins: Wolverine: an utterly unpolished mess that somehow manages to be incredibly enjoyable in spite of itself (or by nicking Batman: Arkham's combat model).

Plus, it has the entire cast of the film reprising their roles for the game, and when does that ever happen in these cash-grab movie tie-ins?
