Lego Marvel Superheroes: still hilarious
We stopped playing the Lego games for awhile because we were too busy and/or couldn't get our schedules to coordinate (Orion and I play them together) but we've resumed the Marvel Superheroes one, and it is still adorable and hilarious. There's an entire level that you play with Tony in his underwear (he got his suit ripped off by Magneto in the previous boss fight). So he can't get into his house because no pants = no keys. Basically this level involves Steve and Tony breaking into Stark Tower and then fighting their way through Tony's various robot defenses, and Tony literally can't do anything except punch stuff. In his underwear. (Well, okay, and solve puzzles -- this is mostly a puzzle-solving level, which is fun; I like those.)
The previous level involved a lot of Hulk, and I have to say that the game mechanics for playing Hulk are probably a fairly accurate rendition of what it would be like to actually ("actually") have Hulk on your side in a fight, because his attack radius is huge and controlling him is hard, and therefore you smash your teammates a lot. Or knock walls on them and so forth. The fights are pretty chaotic anyway, and it is awfully tempting, as Hulk, to just run around indiscriminately smashing things and depend on the other player to stay out of your way. Which is ... not always the best strategy. (One advantage to playing Iron Man is that he can fly, and therefore is less likely to be accidentally smashed into an Avenger pancake.)
On the other hand, the only other character(s) in the entire Lego game universe that are as delightfully cathartic to play as Hulk are the Ents in the LoTR game, who are basically also unstoppable smashing machines, except bigger and slower.
