Some movies are so good you wish the experience lasted forever. Well, our list of best movie games is here to help. Whether you crave the feeling of heroics, a grand adventure, or some relaxing village building, there's something for everyone here. We've even got some cinematic bangers on Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and mobile to enjoy.
Before we get started, though, we can help you find other games that aren't tied to movies. Be sure to check our lists of FPS games, Steam Deck games, and new Switch games to find another title for your wishlist.
Here are the best movie games:
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Portable Platforms: Steam Deck and handheld PCs
Ah, our favorite archaeologist and college teacher. While Harrison Ford has hung up the fedora on the big screen, the Star Wars legend lends his likeness to Machine Games' brand-new take on the character has The Last of Us actor Troy Baker step up to the mantle.
The results are eerily fantastic, as Baker comfortably inhabits the character. In this globetrotting campaign, you step into Jones' shoes from a first-person perspective, exploring open-ended levels to solve the mystery of the Great Circle. With plenty of surprises, nods to the movies, and thrilling combat, there's fortune and glory to be found here.
Minecraft
Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, Steam Deck, and handheld PCs
No matter where you land on A Minecraft Movie, there's no denying that Minecraft deserves a spot here. The mobile, handheld PC, and Nintendo Switch giant delivers base-building and RPG-style antics like nothing else out there, and the music alone is worth playing for. With DLC focused on the movie's cast, you can consume Steve's Lava Chicken for as long as you please.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game
Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and handheld PCs
Terminal Reality's Ghostbusters: The Video Game is fantastic. Go play it. Okay, but if you need more convincing, think of it as the official third movie in the series. It even adapts ideas from unused scripts! All of the original cast return to voice their characters, and yes, you can slide down the firehouse pole. But of course, the best part is using the Proton Pack and traps.
RoboCop: Rogue City
Portable Platforms: Steam Deck and handheld PCs
There have been plenty of RoboCop games over the years, but Teyon's iteration is easily the best. Blending detective scenarios with semi-open world levels, this RPG-lite shooter gives you the goods: blowing away bad guys with RoboCop's metal arsenal. The attention to detail is brilliant, recapturing Paul Verhoeven's cinematic greatness with ease. Peter Weller voices RoboCop, too, adding another layer of authenticity. It's gory, funny, and heavy metal.
Dune Awakening
Portable Platforms: Steam Deck and handheld PCs
Somehow, Funcom achieves the impossible here. There have been some decent Dune games in the past, but Dune Awakening is built differently. While it leans on Frank Herbert's lore for the gritty details, the visuals of Funcom's Dune Awakening are heavily inspired by the movies directed by Blade Runner 2049 visionary Denis Villeneuve. Scavange for supplies, form guilds, build bases, and evade the Shai Halud in a consistently evolving landscape where other players seek glory on Arrakis. May thy blade chip and shatter.
Mad Max
Portable Platforms: Steam Deck and handheld PCs
Aside from creating some of the best open-world games ever with the Just Cause series, the Mad Max game is a terrific title from Avalanche Studios. Combining the Just Cause game engine with Mad Max's apocalyptic chaos, the goal is simple: retrieve The Interceptor from the clutches of bandits. To do that, you'll build a new Magnum Opus, a powerful vehicle to mow down rival cars and enemies. Travel the wasteland freely, loot camps, and get the ultimate Mad Max experience like never before. We'd love it if the studio had released a Tom Hardy skin, though. Maybe next time?
The Thing: Remastered
Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and handheld PCs
Nightdive Studios' The Thing: Remastered is a loving restoration of an underrated classic. Even John Carpenter likes it! Here you relive the events of the brilliant Kurt Russell and Keith David-starring movie, with mechanics that have you second-guess which one of your AI-controlled squad is The Thing. It's chilling, full of dark humor, and well worth checking out.
GoldenEye 007
Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and handheld PC
It wouldn't be right to have a best movie games list without mentioning this stone-cold banger. GoldenEye 007 changed the shooter genre massively, helping pioneer couch multiplayer and setting off a generation of games that would hope to achieve similar greatness. Not only does it adapt the source material well, but it's an incredibly well-made game that stands up to the test of time - until 007: First Light arrives, that is.
Star Wars Bounty Hunter
Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and handheld PC
When it comes to Star Wars games, Star Wars Bounty Hunter remains among the gold standard. We could easily include newer entries like Jedi: Survivor, but Jango Fett's solo outing is taking the crown here. Remastered by Aspyr, you hunt down the scourge of the galaxy while unravelling a dark mystery. All the hallmarks of Star Wars fun are here, like a great musical score, gorgeous art direction, and familiar faces. So what are you waiting for? Get hunting.
Lego Jurassic World
Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and handheld PC
Listen, if you like the Jurassic World movies, we won't judge you. Honestly, don't worry about it. We're even recommending you check out Lego Jurassic World, an adaptation of highlights from the movies that is easily better than whatever Jurassic World: Rebirth was. Take control of Chris Pratt, Jeff Goldblum, and other legends as you try not to become a dinosaur's dinner.
Hogwarts Legacy
Portable Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and handheld PC
While we wish we could include the Philosopher's Stone game from the PlayStation 1 era on here, Hogwarts Legacy is certainly a worthy pick instead. Explore the iconic castle and its surrounding areas like Hogsmeade as you join your favorite house as the start of a new school year. Set hundreds of years before Harry Potter's birth, this original story adds a new flavor to the series, with unexplored lore telling a fresh tale in the already well-established universe. If you were looking for a sequel to Rockstar Games' Bully, this is pretty close.
Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game
Portable Platforms: iOS and Android
Listen, some of us are Zack Snyder defenders at Pocket Tactics. Some of us might even say that his trilogy of DCEU movies is better than most Marvel movies. Whether you agree or not, what we can say is that Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game is worth your time. This action-packed multiplayer shooter puts you and a squad together to battle armies across the galaxy, while ranking up and getting better weapons too. It's packed with lore to chew on beyond the movies, too.
Well, there you have it. That's our list of the best movie games. If that isn't enough, then check out all the free mobile games and free Switch games you can get your hands on.
