Marvel's Spider-Man

Insomniacs friendly superhero swings into action

Sony’s having a great year so far with their line-up of exclusives. God of War and Detroit: Become Human brought excellent single-player experiences, albeit, catering to a specific audience. Spider-Man, on the other hand, has a lot of fans — thanks to comic books, cartoons, and movies. Besides, it is important to deliver a game that satisfies its fans and gamers.

Insomniac Games’ iteration shows Parker in his mid-20s, as an active superhero and has progressed with a new career and his personal life.

We quite like the fact that the game does not focus on how Peter Parker became Spider-Man, but instead, jumps right in showing us the ropes by throwing in a fight with Spider-Man’s nemesis, Fisk. The first fight could prove daunting if you’re not used to fast-paced action, but give it an hour or two and you’ll have a first-hand understanding of what it’s like to be your friendly neighbourhood superhero.
