Lego marvel super heroes 2 nintendo switch review series#
From the inclusion of cowboy characters from old Timely/Marvel series like Kid Colt and Arizona Annie, to more recent characters like Spider-Man Noir from the Noir Universe (this Spidey uses guns, guys!), Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 seems tailor-made for the Marvel super fan. Needless to say, your familiarity with all things Marvel will impact just how cute you think all of this is. Marvel?" and "There are dogs in video games, now?", then perhaps some of this appeal will be lost on you. The game is filled with little charm bombs like this, but if you read that previous sentence and came away with questions like "Who or what is a Ms.
Marvel embiggening while geeking out that she's fighting alongside Spider-Man is simply delightful, as is seeing teleporting Inhuman dog Lockjaw flopping onto his back for a belly rub.

As an ode to the ever expanding Marvel universe, Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is practically without peer.
