The 2018 Insomniac-developed game, Marvel's Spider-Man, somehow found a way to exceed expectations with its gameplay and story. It effortlessly snatches the crown of best Spidey game from the 2004 movie tie-in with mechanics, narrative beats, and a world that reestablish the magic of the character in the gaming sphere. Bringing Otto Octavius, Mr Negative, MJ, and Aunt May into a tale that felt like it was taken straight from the pages of the comics was a monumental achievement, and seeing it somehow also wedge in a worthwhile origin story for Miles Morales was a real treat.
