Spider-Man has had a place in gaming since the Atari days, with the web-slinger starring in dozens of titles ranging from classics to, well, pretty terrible. Marvel’s Spider-Man, a PlayStation 4 exclusive from Insomniac Games (the longtime makers of Ratchet & Clank), gives us our latest take on virtual Spidey.
On the surface, this new Spider-Man game is following a familiar formula. You swing around an open-world New York City while stopping crimes and fighting bad guys. It’s not all that different from 2004’s Spider-Man 2 game, which many fans of gaming and comics still regard as one of the best superhero outings ever made. I agree with them. Even after all these years, it remains the best Spider-Man game.
