10 Reasons Spider-Man Is The PS4's Best Exclusive
2. The Story
PS4 exclusives are no slouch when it comes to narratives. Almost every project Sony has published have told intriguing, thoughtful stories written by veterans of the industry. Be them epic, mythology-encompassing tales of Fatherhood as seen in God of War, or globe-trotting adventures exploring themes of family and heritage such as that told in Uncharted 4.
Spider-Man certainly had a lot to live up to in the story department, and not only did it exceed expectations, it has become one of the most compelling game stories in recent years.
A story that dissects and re-examines the morality, motives and identity of one of the most iconic fictional characters ever created; Spider-Man took players from joyous highs to tear jerking lows, concluding in a blazing climax of emotion, spectacle and a moment that will define the character Peter Parker forever.
For a game that could have coasted along just fine with satisfying web-swinging mechanics and alternate costumes, Spider-Man put just as much effort into it's story and character relationships as it did its more exciting, minute-to-minute thrills. And thanks to the efforts of Insomniac's writing team, Spider-Man has spun a story that can rival the most powerful tales in the industry.
