8. Cameos Aplenty

Undeniably one of the best things about Insomniac's Spider-Man is that it embraces the Marvel Universe; for every landmark referencing the Avengers, Doctor Strange or ALIAS Investigations, there are about a dozen backpacks that flesh out the lore even further.

But it's not enough. While it's great to see Insomniac place such a great emphasis on the wall-crawler, a story set in New York can only go so far without another hero coming into the mix. By the time the third act comes around, and Rykers' inmates are wreaking havoc across the city, it makes no sense as to why Daredevil, the Defenders or Doctor Strange weren't enveloped in the fray - the Avengers have an excuse of course, but Spidey shouldn't have to shoulder the burden alone, even if it is his game.

And that's why, come October, Insomniac should introduce the first of many cameos to come. Spidey's teamed up with countless figures over the years, and though a tantalising tease of a collaboration with Tony Stark during the game's opening is pretty exciting too, who better to start off with than Daredevil himself, Matt Murdock?

The occasions where Spidey and the Man Without Fear team up have always been highlights in the comics, and with ol' hornhead said to light up the small screen once more in the third season of Daredevil, now's as good a time as any to introduce him to this new mythos.
