Marvel Snap – mobile
If you’re looking for a superpowered card game, then look no further!

Marvel Future Revolution – mobile
It won’t surprise anyone that knows me to see this open-world mobile RPG on our list of the best Marvel games. I love it, and the fact it goes wherever I go is all the better. The game design itself is excellent, and it features a compelling story that spans not just Earth, and not even just this universe, but the entire multiverse! So, prepare to throw yourself in the deep end.
One of my favourite things about MFR is the characters, and not just because Iron Man and Spider-Man are in it. You also see underutilised heroes like Doctor Strange and Magik. If you want to know why you should play this, you need to look no further than our Marvel Future Revolution review. We also have a Marvel Future Revolution tier list if you’re curious about who the best characters are.
Guardians of the Galaxy – Switch
What can I say? This game is Flarkin’ great! Seriously, this is one of the best games I got to enjoy in 2021, and it’s already cemented itself as one of the best Marvel games of all time. It’s a pleasure to play from start to finish. The combat and action are fantastic, and most importantly, the banter and camaraderie of the guardians themselves are present.
Moreover, the narrative design in Guardians of the Galaxy is second to none. If you’re after a game that can make you laugh, cry, smile, and feel angry, this is the game for you. However, if you need a little more convincing, you can take a look at why the GOTG narrative surprised us so much.
Marvel Contest of Champions – mobile
Pick any two Marvel heroes or villains you can think of. They don’t have to be in the same franchise. Now imagine them in a fight for the ages! That’s pretty much what Marvel Contest of Champions offers you on this list of Marvel games. This beat ’em up fighting game has more than 200 Marvel characters available, with more and more being added all the time.
Furthermore, there’s a narrative for you to follow, though if you’re playing a fighting game, I’d wager that you’re there for fisticuffs rather than cutscenes. For more on this one, check out our MCoC tier list.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 – Switch
Any time Lego and Marvel come together to create a game, you know you’re in for a good time! You get to control a good portion of the Marvel universe in a single game. Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 features an expanded line-up of characters thanks to them coming from different realities. Characters from Guardians of the Galaxy feature, as does my favorite version of Spidey, Spider-Man 2099.
Furthermore, you get to explore 17 locations from the Marvel universe, including Asgard, Knowhere, Wakanda, Xandar, and an alternate version of Medieval England. It’s funny to think this country was probably more in order back then!
