Oof, Superman 64… where do I start? Flying through rings is frustrating, the combat's a joke, and the fog-filled cityscape is super depressing. Missions are repetitive and unclear, the graphics are awful even for its time, and it's got glitches galore. Some people find it hilarious in a "so bad it's good" way, but even ironically, it's tough to play. Unless you want a meme-worthy experience of how not to make a superhero game, steer clear of this one.

It's a meme at this point how bad this game is, but like... it's real bad. Like... shortlist for worst game ever made bad.

If I was 4 years old, I can imagine the experience of flying around as superman in this game wouldn't be the worst. The problem is that I'm 19 years old as I write this and that's approximately 30 years past the age you'd need to be to understand that the controls are dreadful, the graphics are awful, even for the time and hardware, and the game as a whole sucks complete ass.

However, I'll stand by the idea that, had I grown up with this, I might have found it to be a guilty pleasure today.

I know this isn't a good game. But the laughs and entertainment this game provided me, watching my cousin fail at the rings over and over and over and becoming increasingly more irate, is simply priceless. It's one of my favorite games ever, for that reason alone.
