Marvel's Spider-Man received a number of accolades including being named as one of the best superhero games ever made. The game received praise for its narrative, characterization, combat, and web-swinging traversal mechanics, though some criticized its open-world design for lacking innovation. Marvel's Spider-Man was released for the PlayStation 4 on September 7, 2018. The game design took inspiration from the history of Spider-Man across all media but Marvel Comics and Insomniac wanted to tell an original story that was not linked to an existing property, creating a unique universe (known as Earth-1048) that has since appeared in novels, merchandise, and comics.

Insomniac was given the choice of using any character from Marvel's catalog to work on Spider-Man was chosen both for his appeal to the employees and the similarities in traversal gameplay to their previous game Sunset Overdrive (2014).

Combat focuses on chaining attacks together and using the environment and webs to incapacitate numerous foes while avoiding damage.ĭevelopment of Marvel's Spider-Man, the first licensed game by Insomniac in its then-22-year history, began in 2014 and took approximately four years. Outside the story, the player is able to complete side missions to unlock additional content and collectible items.

Spider-Man can freely move around New York City, interacting with characters, undertaking missions, and unlocking new gadgets and suits by progressing through the main story or completing tasks. Gameplay is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Spider-Man's traversal and combat abilities. When Mister Negative threatens to release a deadly virus, Spider-Man must confront him and protect the city while dealing with the personal problems of his civilian persona, Peter Parker. In the main story, the super-human crime lord Mister Negative orchestrates a plot to seize control of New York City's criminal underworld.
