Well, I went to see Deadpool 2 tonight (absolutely brilliant film by the way - actually prefer it to Infinity War) and when I got back I decided to give the Deadpool game a spin. It's not one I'd previouly started but it's been sat on my shelf for ages and I figured a game like that would be pretty short. Looks like it is - 7 chapters and I'm just at the start of the third chapter after about 1.5-2 hours of playtime.
Very funny game, it's not perfect - the melee combat isn't as fluid as the Batman Arkham series, which it's definitely trying to ape and the gunplay and camera are a little wonky - but it definitely captures that crude humour and fourth-wall breaking silliness of the comics (and the movies, even though it was released several years before the first film). and is very playable. Should be finished with it within a few days and it'll be a nice palate cleanser before moving on to another meatier and more serious game.
Example of the silliness - the head of the studio making the game calls Deadpool to complan he's blown the budget on a flashy montage sequence at the end of the first chapter, as a result when you move into the next area the game turns into an NES-style overhead dungeon crawler in the vein of Legend of Zelda, complete with skeletons to fight and a key to find (and 8-bit neon unicorns because of course there are).
