God of War vs. Spider-Man: Which PS4 Exclusive is Better
Who Wins?
Oh dear, if you’ve counted our tally you’ll have noticed we’re coming into our conclusion even stevens. Yes, we are going to cop out and stay on the fence with this one; they’re just too close to call. Ultimately, which experience you enjoy more is largely going to come down to whether you’re a fan of one style of game and tone of story over the other. You can’t go wrong with either.
Ironically, God of War often feels and plays like a superhero game, especially during boss fights when Kratos is in full God mode. But it’s still not a real comic book experience like Spider-Man is. You’ll find more tongue-in-cheek humor and vibrant characters in Spider-Man, as you’d expect. It’s less stressful, perhaps, and more fun to just pick up and play. But when you really get into God of War, there’s so much depth to its gameplay to keep you driving forward, and combat is a real joy.
We’ve been blessed with two brilliant PS4 exclusives in 2018, so if you’ve got the time and money to play both then you certainly should. When it comes to choosing which one first, go with what excites you the most. God of War and Spider-Man are the sorts of video games that are good enough to convert people that don’t typically play games within their genre. You’re guaranteed a good time.
