Okay, so, here’s the deal. Another month rolls around, and yup, we’ve got another sale on the PS Store. It’s like clockwork or something. This time, there’s a bunch of cool Marvel games — something for everyone, if you’ve got a family that digs button-mashing through superhero shenanigans.
Oh, geez — did you hear? The Lego Marvel Collection is down to just $8.99 in the PS Store, which is, like, what, 85% off the original $59.99 price? I mean, math isn’t my strong suit, but that sounds like a massive steal. But hey, don’t dawdle! You’ve got till June 5 at 2:59 a.m. ET to snag it. (Who picks these weird times, anyway?)
In this collection, you get three full games. Yeah, three! We’re talking Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Lego Marvel’s Avengers, and Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2. Plus, it’s packed with all the season pass stuff from each game. Hours of gameplay. Family bonding and all that jazz.
Here’s the gist: In Lego Marvel Super Heroes, you’re controlling a ton of characters, working to stop Loki and a bunch of bad guys from building a world-crushing super-weapon. The stakes are so low-key. Wink, wink.
Then there’s Lego Marvel’s Avengers. It’s like jumping headfirst into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Relive those epic moments from movies we can’t stop watching.
And don’t forget Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2. You’re teaming up with both heroes and villains — from all sorts of timelines and dimensions — to take on Kang the Conqueror. A time-traveling villain? Count me in.
Bits of trivia for the avid fan in you: Lego Marvel Super Heroes dropped in 2013, Avengers followed in 2016, and Super Heroes 2 in 2017. Critically, they did alright. Metacritic gave the first one an 80, while Avengers scored 71, and Super Heroes 2 snagged a 73. Not bad.
Anyway — wait, was I going somewhere with this? Keep an eye on those PS Store deals if you’re after more gaming goodness. They’re changing faster than I can keep track of, but when a gem pops up, it’s worth the splurge. Or not. Your call.
