Superman Isn't Overpowered For Video Games

R/
R/SUPERMAN
A Reddit discussion in r/superman pushes back against the common criticism that Superman's power level makes him unsuitable for compelling game design. The argument, it seems, is that developers have figured out ways to make godlike characters engaging—it's more about narrative framing and mechanical restrictions than raw power. Games like Insomniac's Spider-Man proved that you can make a superhero game sing without needing a character with obvious limitations. This thread cuts through a lazy design excuse that's held Superman back from AAA treatment for years.
ComicsBuzz Take
The 'Superman is too powerful for games' argument is just lazy game design thinking. If Insomniac can make Spider-Man work without him being invincible, the barrier for a Superman game is entirely creative, not mechanical.
