As I’m a stingy git, I put off buying Marvel’s Spider-Man for a long time. I’m a big comics fan, and Spidey is one of my favourite characters, but I just didn’t want to pay full price for it. I picked up a copy about a year ago, then the season pass when it was under half price this past winter.
But I kept getting distracted by other games, so never got very far. I think I managed about 20% completion every time I played it, if that gives you any indication of how many times I got around to it. However, over the past couple of weeks I’ve played it a bit more, and finally finished it last night. I’ll try to avoid spoilers, because this game needs to be experienced without them.
Insomniac Games made the choice that most recent Spider-Man games have - they worked with a current Spider-Man comic writer. In this case, it was Christos Gage, with input from Dan Slott who wrote The Amazing Spider-Man for almost a decade. Therefore, even though these are brand new takes on the characters, they felt familiar.
Marvel’s Spider-Man starts off with Peter Parker being a lab assistant to Dr Otto Octavius. We learn that Octavius has had prior dealings with Mayor Norman Osborn, whose son was friends with Parker & went to Europe some months prior. There’s a crime boss - Mr Negative - on the rise, and Wilson Fisk - The Kingpin - is on the down. Also, Spider-Man characters Aunt May, Mary Jane and Miles Morales are there.
