What makes a solid Spider-Man story? For many, it's the characters ability to juggle several different genres at once; most notably action, humour and more heartfelt scenes. On a comedic level, Spider-Man's jokes and quips are very well implemented, getting the player invested straight away. Yet when Peter Parker changes out of the suit, he's always deeply thoughtful towards Aunt May and other folks he mingles with throughout the game.

Spider-Man PS4, like any great movie knows the key to crafting a strong narrative for the character is a balance of riotous action, building up the stakes and allowing us to empathise with the characters. Across its three acts, the game offers all three of these in spades. Chasing up and webbing up an escaping helicopter is only the tip of the iceberg as Spidey is pushed to the limits of his strength in the latter half of the game and yet despite New York looking like hell by the final act, the game is still able to slot in those important character moments.
