You know a game is good when you find yourself playing it even when you’re not. Marvel’s Spider-Man, the Spider-Man PS4 exclusive from Insomniac, is one of those games. Case in point: I live in NYC, and while out this weekend saw a small park and thought “Ugh.” Not “ugh, I don’t like parks” but “ugh, those things kill my web-swinging momentum.” I am not Spider-Man (unfortunately) but Marvel’s Spider-Man made that feeling hard to turn off. The same can be said about the game, too.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is a rock-solid adventure game. If you loved the comic book beat ‘em up vibe of the Batman: Arkham games you’ll swoon for Spidey. If you’re a more casual action fan you’re in good hands; Insomniac Games designed a thrilling gameplay loop that slides along a balanced difficulty scale anyone can enjoy. A strong Spider-Man story, set in its own universe so as not to be encumbered by copious lore, respects the audience enough to avoid retreading his well-worn origin. And those collectibles! I am not a completionist by nature but I chased every pigeon, found every backpack and perched atop every landmark Marvel’s Spider-Man threw my way. Why? Because my favorite thing about Marvel’s Spider-Man is also its most fundamental: web-slinging.
