In his Marvel’s Spider-Man review back in 2018, GamesRadar+’s Senior Guides Coordinator Leon Hurley said the ARPG is “about as good as superhero gaming gets”. As a huge fan of Insomniac’s slant on the adventures of Peter Parker’s alter ego, I couldn’t agree more – even now, almost five years on. And while Spidey in this guise borrows pretty heavily from Rocksteady Studios’ Batman Arkham series, the game’s realization of a scaled-down Manhattan, one terrorized by some of Marvel’s deadliest supervillains, is a joy to behold.
