The God of Thunder Thor is most recognizable in his Marvel Cinematic Universe form played by Chris Hemsworth. While he gets to play Thor on the big screen, there are a lot of Thor fans who get to summon the power of the Norse God by stepping into his shoes in numerous video games. Fans get to wield Mjolnir and call down explosive lightning strikes in several games that include online RPGs, fighting games, and co-op puzzle platformers.
While there were movie adaptations of the first two MCU Thor movies, they were pretty poor games that offered very little to fans. From recent MCU tie-ins to older games that use other versions of the chracter, there are a lot of other games that give players the chance to wield the power of Thor.
