Marvel is causing quite a stir in the video game industry right now, especially for PS4 users – not only has Marvel’s Avengers assembled onto PlayStation Now, but it has also crashed for many users as Patch 1.5.1a fails to fix those stability issues.
Interested in just how well Marvel games are doing, RantCasino.com decided to investigate the Metacritic ratings of the five most recent Marvel games – and the five most recent releases from DC, too.
And it’s clear: Marvel games are better than DC games!
