  • I’m not big on superhero games, so I don’t know if that will make my recommendation better or worse, but my favorite is called Aberrant. It’s a bit of an older system, but very flexible in both character making and how you play. What makes it stand out is the rich setting (it is a White Wolf game), in which you can play anything from small scale (like fighting local crime) to large scale (making pocket universes, tweaking the laws of physics, etc.), to different story styles, such as standard crime fighting, spy/conspiracy stories, transhumanism stories, etc. And there’s a metaplot you can get into or not that can even link to two other games (even if only for interest’s sake).

    Originally I only bought it as a sourcebook for one of those other games (Trinity) which is a long time favorite of mine and my group, but we were all surprised by how fun this game was as well and played it for years. Even making characters is fun because it’s more than just picking powers.
