The list is framed against Marvel's continued dominance in entertainment, including recent Comic-Con announcements and anticipation for the PlayStation 5 exclusive Marvel's Wolverine, though it deliberately focuses on titles fans can already play rather than upcoming releases.

- 4 months ago Polygon published a ranked feature crowning the ten best Marvel video games currently playable, tracing adaptations back to Spider-Man's 1982 Atari 2600 debut and citing early entries such as Firaxis's Marvel's Midnight Suns, Second Dinner's Marvel Snap, Eidos-Montréal's Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Radical Entertainment's The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.
Explained simply
Marvel has been adapting its comic-book characters into video games since 1982, when Spider-Man appeared on the Atari 2600. Since then, the studio's heroes and villains have featured in dozens of games across almost every genre and platform, from action-adventure titles to mobile card games, reflecting Marvel's broader presence across film, television and other media.
Polygon has now put together a ranked list of the ten best Marvel video games currently available to play, drawing on that near 40-year history. The list includes games such as Marvel's Midnight Suns, a tactical strategy game from Firaxis Games, the mobile game Marvel Snap, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy from Eidos-Montréal, and the older open-world title The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, each judged on its own merits and design.
The ranking comes at a time when Marvel remains a major force in entertainment, with recent Comic-Con announcements and an upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive, Marvel's Wolverine, keeping interest high. The list itself, however, focuses only on existing games players can try now, rather than anything still to be released.
