Madden Isn't The Only Football Game You Can Play To Get Hyped For The Super Bowl

Mutant Football League 2 brings plenty of violence and gore to the gridiron for those of us who aren't interested in playing Madden to celebrate the big game

First released in early access on PC in May 2024, Mutant Football League 2 is a return to the heady arcade days of games like NFL Blitz. With plenty of blood and gore, a focus on local multiplayer, and special "dirty tricks" plays that allow you to literally injure and kill your opponents, this is your chance to get your revenge on that annoying Chiefs fan in your life. Then again, it's just a good time, particularly if you're willing to customize your own orc to look as twisted as possible. It also supports online multiplayer and features a robust dynasty mode.

For those of you who prefer a more realistic football experience, there's always the PC game Legend Bowl, which hits a level of complexity somewhere between Madden and classics like Tecmo Super Bowl. The latest Madden is also on Game Pass, so it's easier to jump in than ever before.
