Spiderman (2018)
What is the most important aspect that a Spiderman game must have in order to be great? The answer is simple, it’s the traversal.
Lucky for developer Insomniac Games, Spiderman on PS4 absolutely nailed the movement, giving players the web-swinging free-roam movement of their dreams.
Not only did the game nail the traversal, but the combat expands on the hand-to-hand fighting that games like the Batman Arkham series popularized a few years prior.
Using Spiderman’s array of abilities and web spitting gadgets, combat stays interesting and engaging from start to finish. You take on bosses that are classic staples in the Spiderman universe such as Doctor Octopus, Kingpin, and Rhino.
Although Spiderman has had plenty of games in the past, none quite hit the mark that this iteration from Insomniac Games did. Some would even label this game as the best superhero game of all time.
Spiderman on PS4 sold 3.3 million copies in its first three days, making it the highest-selling first-party franchise in PlayStation’s history, and the most sold superhero game ever made.
With the recent news that Sony has purchased Insomniac Games, we can safely assume that even more Spiderman games are coming out of the studio in the near future, and we can’t wait.
