3. Lego Marvel Super Heroes - And The Whole LEGO Series In General
When a games sole purpose is to be fun you know you're onto a good thing. Despite the age rating being 7+ for the most part, the LEGO games are so enjoyable that you can play them at any age and still get something out of it. Inevitably the latest incarnation is Marvel Superheroes and even more inevitably it's a blast. Flying through New York as Spider-Woman or beating up thugs as Taskmaster are just two of dozens of things I never thought I'd get to do in a video-game but LEGO and Telltale Games made it a reality. The problem is that the novelty of these events wears thin incredibly quickly. The simple puzzles are often character specific or very repetitive (who isn't sick of fetch quests by now?) and getting anything like half of the collectibles requires so many replays of the same section that even the slightest whiff of ADHD will mean you don't make it past one play. If you have the time and the patience, the game (like all entries in the series) is very easy to 100%, and once you've reached this intangible goal, what else is there to do? Admittedly you do get your money's worth as the games are long, but the downside is that the trade-in price will be much lower than purchase, especially if you commit to the 100%.
I’ve been a film fan for as long as I can remember, with one of my earliest memories watching my dad’s copy of Star Wars one rainy afternoon in the mid-nineties. Then the 21st century happened, and my interests developed from there – mainly including comics and video-games, and recently an introduction into WWE. It’s a good time for popular culture.
