With little in terms of story to carry it, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 instead has to rely solely on its gameplay. Amazing stories have been written using nearly all of the playable characters and villains, yet there’s not a single interesting story beat to be found here. This feels like a major waste considering the dozens of amazing characters involved. Stopping an evil villain in order to set things back to how they were before the universes started emerging is about as generic a plot a crossover can have. The story never goes beyond taking a glance at how wacky it is to see all these Marvel stars interacting. Even with the more popular stars, there’s never anything interesting done with the cast let alone meaningful character development.

They pop up, have some brief interactions (that are admittedly entertaining), and quickly fade into the background. Sadly, though, there’s not much to these versions of the characters. While Captain America and the Guardians of the Galaxy may have the spotlight like one would expect, they regularly share it with the likes of Kid Colt and Spider-Man Noir. The last one that really stood above the rest was 2013’s LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, so naturally I was excited about getting to play a sequel that would feature even more comic heroes from my youth.Īs a pretty big fan of comics (albeit a recently lapsed one), it was a real trip getting to see some of the more obscure references in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. That’s why, without fail, I typically find myself playing through the new entries whenever they come out. I’ve never been a fanatic of the LEGO puzzle-platformers (which could very well be due to them being targeted at children), but for the most part they’ve always been well made games that made up for their lack of challenge with plenty of charm.
