10 Best Spider-Man Games Of All Time - Ranked

1. Marvel's Spider-Man

Spider-Man PS4 Night Time
Insomniac

It's only been out a few days at the time of writing, but Marvel's Spider-Man has already cemented itself as the definitive incarnation of the character in the gaming world. You can scream "recency bias" all you like, but Insomniac's take on not only Spidey, but his human alter-ego and the whole cast - from Miles Morales to Aunt May - is pitch perfect.

Though it starts a little slow, the endgame of the narrative is spectacular, with every little plot thread being tied up in jaw-dropping - and often incredibly emotional - ways. The title's stunning visuals and kinetic gameplay have received the most attention, but it's the daring superhero story at the heart of the game which makes it something special, and not only the best Spider-Man game, but one of the best games of the generation so far.

Insomniac's title is a love-letter not only to the wall crawler himself, but anybody who's ever picked up a copy of a Spider-Man comic or swung between skyscrapers in one of his games. And if you haven't had the chance to do either, it'll make a true believer out of you yet.
