From straight-up superpowers to dead-aim warriors, these games make players feel like gods.
Everyone plays video games for different reasons. Some people play farming sims or MMOs to chill and relax, while others play shooters to take part in some action. Some players, however, play video games to feel powerful, and what better way than with games that allow them to utilize extra strong armor and weapons or straight-up superpowers?
Whether players want to feel powerful for a good cause or just to cause some fun chaos, there’s a game out there for everyone whatever they’re craving. From classic to newer entries, games that make players feel powerful are the perfect way to have some fun! 10 Gears Of War
Gears of War is a fantastic franchise where players assume control of Marcus Fenix, an absolute hunk of a man who has clearly lifted a few weights in his lifetime. Marcus fights for the human military on a planet called Sera against reptilian aliens who go by the Locust Horde, and later installments feature their mutated counterparts, the Lambent. All entries in the franchise are pretty great, but it’s the original trilogy that creates the best feeling of realistic power.
While fans play as Marcus, gamers wipe out hordes of the Locust and shoot their way through them like it’s nothing. Due to Marcus’ physical strength, it’s genuinely impossible not to feel powerful while controlling the man. The Gears of War series has some fantastic world-building, but it’s the deadly war between the two races that is always at the forefront, and it’s a war that Marcus takes on almost single-handedly. 9 Batman: Arkham Series
Batman alone is already a powerful superhero who has gone up against the toughest of villains and nearly always won. It’s no wonder that these excellent games made by Rocksteady have further cemented the character as an extremely powerful hero. Each hit player’s land as Batman has weight behind it, and it’s simply satisfying when landing higher combos and never taking a hit. Thus, the Arkham games are some of the best superhero titles ever made.
To think that Batman is just a man in a suit is quite an understatement. His physical prowess is second to none, and his abilities are powerful enough to stop any threat. There’s a reason that criminals in Gotham fear the Caped Crusader so much, and Rocksteady has perfectly translated this feeling of power into an excellent video game trilogy. 8 Devil May Cry
While it’s a slightly harder series to master, the Devil May Cry franchise features some of the best sword and combo combat in any video game. Dante is one of the coolest characters ever, despite his cheesy one-liners, and all the secondary characters are just as powerful and intimidating.
