5. Injustice 2

Best Fighting Games on PlayStation Plus Premium

We begin today's list of Superhero games on PC with a classic. Injustice 2 not only serves as a stellar sequel to the first Injustice game, but it manages to do what the first game did but improve upon it significantly. The main story of the game ramps up the tension, which is always a good time. The character roster is greatly enhanced. And the movesets and many of the animations for the game have seen their share of love as well. This is great, as the core foundation for this game was so strong all it really had to do was stick the landing.

Many actors and actresses reprise their roles in the game. This gives the game a sense of nostalgia in a way and helps ground the characters and world. Firstly, this serves to really sell the idea of playing through a really gripping comic. Secondly, it lends real weight to the battles players will face throughout the game. Finally, Injustice 2 has some of the best representations of different heroes and heroines' powers ever put forth in a video game. This makes it stand out above the competition for the best PC Superhero games.

 4. LEGO Marvel Superheroes

Next on our list of the best Superhero games on PC, we have LEGO Marvel Superheroes. Now for everyone who is familiar with the LEGO series of games, you know these games are some of the most fun you can have. The LEGO games, more often than not, manage to capture whichever world they are capturing wonderfully, and the realm of superheroes is no exception. While the game may have been released in 2013, the use of the LEGO visual style really keeps this title timeless.

There are many elements to the game that make it a fantastic superhero experience. For example, there are a hundred and eighty characters to control. This gives the game an astounding amount of variety and lets players play in their own toybox of powers. Firstly, this is great as it provides the game with a strong foundation at its core, making it easy to play or replay for extended periods. The plot of the game also lives up to its Marvel namesake.

Along the way, players will be able to shapeshift and engage in a number of activities that are certainly marvelous. Players will be able to dip, dive and dodge their way through the game or destroy everything with their tendrils. The tendrils offer players quite a bit of variety of options when facing opponents. This aids the game's open-ended approach to combat.

Additionally, the game spawned a comic book, much like its predecessor, which also did really well.

2. Batman: Arkham City

Next on our list, we have a game that had a ton of potential to live up to and managed to do so wonderfully. Batman: Arkham City is a fantastic entry into the Batman Arkham series. Through its unique blend of action and adventure, players are able to skulk around in the night as Batman. This really sells the superhero fantasy in a way that the other games within the franchise had been hinting at for quite some time. With a phenomenal plot that feels like it could have been plucked straight out of the comics, this game's storyline is stellar.

Players will be able to play with a number of different gadgets in the game, all of which give the combat a unique flavor. These include things such as the smoke bomb, which really sells the stealth aspects of the game. However, there are far more than a few ways to approach any problem in the game. This really aids the game's open nature. Players will run into a fantastic assortment of the Batman rogues gallery in their playtime as well. These characters are all well-realized within the game. Simply put, Batman: Arkham City is one of the best Superhero games on PC.

1. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Now for our final entry, we have Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This game, at a base level, is fantastic. The way that Miles Morales' powers are actualized in the game is simply stunning. In addition, taking place during the winter gives this New York a whole different feel from the base game as well. The game also has a myriad of features to allow players to customize their experience. These include things such as visual sliders and different graphical modes to enhance performance or quality. This is an excellent addition as it allows you to experience the game the way you want to.

Additionally, having this game on PC means its graphics can be pushed to their limits. The game itself takes excellent advantage of this and allows for many things like Ray-tracing and other elements to be adjusted.
