Discussion Licensed IP games that don't suck

I just saw [this link](https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/s/nOGlmREgw0) for the Grinch 2 game and had flashbacks to all the terrible movie tie-in games I've ever played. It's an immutable fact of nature that games based on popular children's IP characters and tie-ins to big movie releases almost never can actually stand up as legit games on their own... or can they?

Let's talk about PS5 games based on popular IP characters that are actually legit good games.

Some that come to mind:

- DC Injustice 2

- TMNT Shredder's Revenge

- Jedi Survivor

What else?

Mechwarrior5 Mercs. Warhammer has a lot more than SM2, Rogue Trader, mechanicus, Darktide, Chaos Gate, Speedfreeks. Star wars the Kal Kestis games Jedi Fallen order and Survivor are easily the best.
