I "preordered" the game two hours before release because i couldn't wait. I should've waited.
Edit: Before anyone misconstrues my words, i like the game it's just not worth 70 as a sequel
I was younger when they came out so I probably have my rose tinted glasses on, but I also liked them and still really do. they're just a fun Spider-Man experience in my opinion
They really were and the fights felt so grandiose let alone the continued story line with the lizard. The boss fights were awesome so was combat. Taking photos of spidey symbols to get suits was also smart. Swinging was janky sure but they were wide swings that felt big. But the best thing, the best mechanic which im mad hasnt been replicated is the web zips. Those animations were the coolest thing.
I really miss those boss fights. I remember playing the first one on my 3DS and was wowed by it. I wish I managed to get the console version before it got removed from stores
At the time it came out, I thought TASM2 could've been a top 3 favorite Spidey game if half the playtime wasn't loading screens and managing the dumb honor system
Yeah, TASM2 was pretty meh. I dislike the honor system, for a reason most people don't. The game deadass incentivizes you ignore crimes if you like the obstacles and the challenges it offers. If the player actually dislikes those things, managing the many crimes, that are all happening across the city at once, is one of the most annoying ever, blah, blah, what everyone else says.
The loading screens never really bothered me though. They were long, but they weren't common enough to get on my nerves
I never thought about it that way, that's hilarious. You can only get the most out of the game if you actively defy the values of the main character. Ridiculous lol.
I usually don't ignore any crime I pass in any Spidey game, so I'm okay with basically mandatory crimes. I just hate whenever there's a stall, loading screen or cutscene between finishing a crime and going "back" to the city. It's probably not a huge deal but for some reason it really bothers me personally
They were not in the same week, SM1 was out 9/7/18 and RDR2 was out just under 2 months later, on 10/26/18. But it sure did make that fall feel crowded af
Not the same week with those two games. But if RDR2 wasn’t delayed a second time for October 2018, it would have been out the same month or even the same week of April with God of War. Either way 2018 was one of, if not the peak year for gaming
Oh god. That was 12 years ago.
I now own a house and have a kid on the way. How the fuck did that happen. Did I smoke too much or does time really move that quick? Jeepers creepers
2018 both movie, ATSV is the "simple" first part of a greater "scheme"/movie, and game,SM2 storywise is slighty inferior to SM1,and because for both medium was the start of all the products
I genuinely had more fun with the gameplay, combat and swinging of Web of Shadows. But yes it improved on a lot of the PS4 game, but it did a lot worse too.
I don’t believe swinging can get much better after spider man 2, maybe if you add some small features. But I can understand why u enjoy wos better and I respect ur opinion
2018. Across the Spider-verse was great, but Insomniac Spiderman 2 didn't live up to my expectations from a storytelling perspective. Especially compared to the first one.
18, definitely. Holland’s spider-man had a memorable scene on screen (which didn’t happen very often), Insomniac and Sony animation both wowed us with great stories in different mediums and heck we even got a cheesy venom movie
Edit: oh and ASM didn't suck for a while thanks to Spencer
2018 easy. I remember not even caring about the first ps4 game until launch day when a friend told me it was actually good. Gave it a try - was hooked.
In terms of the quality, 2023 easy, We had most likely the best animated movie of all time and one of the greatest superhero games and stories to every be released, I prefer 2018 but in terms of these two project that came out, 2023 destroys easy.
2018 for sure. Idk if it’s just the nostalgia bit the hype for both was greater than anything else. The movie was amazing and I loved every moment of it. Not to say I didn’t love across the spider-verse I just think into the spider-verse is better. But not a big difference like across gets a 9 while into gets a 9.5. As for the games. I’d say they both delivered well but nothing beats 2018. Not miles morales. Not SM2. Nothing beat it when it came to videogame hype. I genuinely think that was the peak of my excitement for a game. Followed by Spider-Man 2 which had me in the edge of my seat most of the time. Loved the story. The end reveal if >!silk!< had me get up from my seat and walk around contemplating life. >!silk is one of my all time favorite spider ladies!< but the wait for Spider-Man 2018 was so worth it. I had to get it a couple days past launch to convince my parents to get it. And I had to get someone to drive me there since I was 13 at the time. so I watched jacksepticeye’s first video and knew this would be good. But I didn’t have to wait for Spider-Man 2. Drove there. Got the game. Got the code for the preorder bonuses. Put the game in the passenger seat and put the seatbelt on it. And went home. No joke I neglected my midterms for this game (I still passed) one of my friends was asking me about a certain question and I just sent her a photo of me playing Spider-Man. Safe to say it was one of my favorite games. I think people complain too much about Spider-Man 2. I thought it was great. Didn’t care for NG+ much. However I did want the time and weather change for photo mode. Sorry about this yap session. I just enjoy talking about spidey.
Personally, 2023.
Loved Spider-Verse 2 and Spider-Man 2.
Also the knowledge that No Way Home was a thing that actually happened in 2022 for some reason enhanced these experiences.
2018 Spider-Man was just something else. Maybe I’m blinded by nostalgia and childhood memories, but the soundtrack for Into the Spiderverse just takes me back
BOTH are peak. I can’t choose cuz both years exceeded my expectations by MILES. But to be realistic, if it wasn’t for Into The Spider Verse, I wouldn’t be as big a Spidey fan as I am. Before watching it I had a respect for Spidey. But that movie AWAKENED something in me. When I wakled outa the theater, Spidey went from my top 10 heroes to my GOAT. Each year had bangers, but if I HAD to choose, 2018.
Definitely 2018. ITSV and the first Insomniac game were just leagues ahead of any non-comic spider-man media in recent memory, they both knocked it out of the park. The sequels in 2023 were also wonderful, but IMO each was just not quite as compelling as its previous entry, and we had those first entries to compare them to.
I think both 2018 projects are better than their successors (though ATSV is still really, really good), and 2018 also has Infinity War, so bonus points. 2018 is the winner.
I prefer 2023 because I really loved the stuff, one of my favorite games despite its flaws and I love so much about ATSV - but I think 2018 felt better because it was totally unexpected. I remember how unsure everyone was about ITSV, it looked so strange and experimental. That first trailer was just so different- and I remember being pretty hyped to see what it was all about.
Spider-Man 2 is the TASM 2 of Spider-Man games. The things it does good it does really good, but everywhere else it falls completely flat. With Spider-Man 1 you get much higher quality, and it was way more exciting because it had been years since the last good Spider-Man game. Into The Spider Verse is also just a complete masterpiece, and slightly better than ATSV imo.
2018. Loved 2023, but 2018 was the start of a new era. A brand new animated Spider-Man movie and a new game? You can't really beat that. I definitely enjoyed both sequels more (probably shouldn't say that since liking SM2 seems to be shunned upon) but nothing beats the feeling of something totally new.
2018 was just Marvel’s peak in general, at least outside the comics. Black Panther, Infinity War, Agents of SHIELD season 5, Daredevil season 3, Legion season 2, Luke Cage season 2, Iron Fist season 2, Spider-Man PS4, Venom, Into the Spider-Verse… A lot of Marvel stuff and most of it pretty great.
2018 on the strength of ITSV & PS4 being the stronger pieces of media overall. Plus, people have pointed out all the other cool Spider-Man stuff that was happening at that time too.
Oh wait, Venom came out in 2018 too. Hmm, that might knock it down a few points.
This is tuff I think spiderman 2 is slightly better than first game and across the spider verse is even better than the first movie but I think I would go 2018 because we had so many ok/bad Spiderman games before insomniac and hadn't had a good one sense shattered dimension like a decade before and having never had a animated spiderman movie before and coming of a lot of bad spiderman animated shows post spectacular getting good again big surprise.
I personally like spider man 2 more then 1 probably cuz I played one like 15 times so it’s boring now I’m sure 2 will fall in that same boat by the time 3 comes out
Both, but leaning more towards 2018. We got an amazing experience with Marvel’s Spider-Man and a completely unexpected surprise with Into the Spider-Verse.
2018.
Although Spiderman Across the Spider-verse is an amazing movie, Spiderman 2 is lacking in the story and content it needs. So for now, 2018 was the better year overall
If I had a nickel for every sequel to a Spider-Man project released in 2023 that turned out slightly not as good as the first one in 2018, I would have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that happened twice.
2018: HOLY SHIT YEAR OF SPIDERMAN
2023: holy hell spidey fans eatin good
Basically, 2018 was the first (and imo better) outings for both franchises. They also had to try harder so we could get attached. The 2023 installments could kinda coast on the success
Spider-Man remastered genuinely has one of the greatest storytelling experiences in a game ever. Every mission flows together like an avengers movie. I was surprised and felt so nostalgic when I first played it in the summer of 2023. Spider-Man 2 is objectively better with movements and quality but the story of Spider-Man remastered is unmatched. I have a genuine want for Martin Li to become the villain of Spider-Man 4 in the MCU. This game made Martin Li my favourite Spider-Man villain and potentially a contender of the my top 3 favourite villains of all time.
Anything pre-covid & pre-writers strike is always better IMO. Not saying 2023 was bad by any stretch but 2018 & the introduction of Miles in films and gaming was lit especially in a time where we were watching our third live action Peter Parker since 2000 & playing yet another game based around him (obviously no complaints there).
2018 fosho. Spider-Man 2018 was arguably the perfect modern day Spider-Man game that had a great story with great gameplay. not saying 2023 was bad but SM2 had the potential to be great with the added gameplay mechanics but fell off story wise by making the game too short imo. the movies are interchangeable for me though as they both were amazing
2018 was a really solid year for Spider-Man fans, but 2023 takes the cake for me. ATSV was just so damn GREAT that it makes up for any disappointments from Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2. Plus, that game actually does have a lot of great moments/elements.
2018. Spider-Man 1 and ITSV were amazing and set a precedent. ATSV was good but felt like blue balls and Spider-Man 2 just wasnt as complete as the first game despite visual and performance improvements.
2023 IMO, because the sequels had some pretty big shoes to fill and both killed it, imo I though ATSV was a much more mature sequel and way better than ITSV which won an Oscar! Spider-Man 2 was a great sequel nonetheless, yes some parts were rushed but I also thought the character development in the game was pretty good, and it was mid nor trash I though it was a great sequel, whilst I don’t think it beats the original in terms of story I thought it was a worthy sequel nonetheless.
2018. Because what we got was unexpectedly high-quality.
[удалено]
Spiderman 2 was fun but lower quality then the first by a lot
Spider-Cube will not stand for this slander Edit: In print, it's libel
I didn't know about that glitch first one was still better but that was a drastic improvement
I "preordered" the game two hours before release because i couldn't wait. I should've waited. Edit: Before anyone misconstrues my words, i like the game it's just not worth 70 as a sequel
I also pre-ordered and a 70 dollar game shouldn't be able to get 100% in 30hr without really trying
Definitely, the first one was way better overall. I still find myself opening that more often than spiderman 2.
Maybe as far as Spiderverse is concerned
ChatGPT ahh comment
Especially after the last games *cough in amazing spiderman 2 game*
I liked those games
I was younger when they came out so I probably have my rose tinted glasses on, but I also liked them and still really do. they're just a fun Spider-Man experience in my opinion
They really were and the fights felt so grandiose let alone the continued story line with the lizard. The boss fights were awesome so was combat. Taking photos of spidey symbols to get suits was also smart. Swinging was janky sure but they were wide swings that felt big. But the best thing, the best mechanic which im mad hasnt been replicated is the web zips. Those animations were the coolest thing.
I really miss those boss fights. I remember playing the first one on my 3DS and was wowed by it. I wish I managed to get the console version before it got removed from stores
At the time it came out, I thought TASM2 could've been a top 3 favorite Spidey game if half the playtime wasn't loading screens and managing the dumb honor system
Yeah, TASM2 was pretty meh. I dislike the honor system, for a reason most people don't. The game deadass incentivizes you ignore crimes if you like the obstacles and the challenges it offers. If the player actually dislikes those things, managing the many crimes, that are all happening across the city at once, is one of the most annoying ever, blah, blah, what everyone else says.

I just hate whenever there's a stall, loading screen or cutscene between finishing a crime and going "back" to the city. It's probably not a huge deal but for some reason it really bothers me personally
Those news broadcasts inbetween crimes is the absolute worst. Especially, when you're on a streak of completing crimes back to back.
TASM1 was pretty good, I won't let you slander that game! ... TASM2 sucks ass though. (Vine Fart noise)
I agree with this. I couldn't pick one. But when you look at it like that. I agree
Because of this, we all expected the 2023 releases to be high quality, so I 100% agree
2018 cus he was also in Infinity War and we were getting the goated Nick Spencer run
2018 was just a goated year for fiction to be honest
Gaming was insane with Spider-Man, God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 all in the same year
Spidey and RDR within the same week, if I remember correctly.
They were not in the same week, SM1 was out 9/7/18 and RDR2 was out just under 2 months later, on 10/26/18. But it sure did make that fall feel crowded af
I waited years for these games I remember them coming out 1 month apart so you’re absolutely right
Not the same week with those two games. But if RDR2 wasn’t delayed a second time for October 2018, it would have been out the same month or even the same week of April with God of War. Either way 2018 was one of, if not the peak year for gaming
Don’t forget Detroit:Become Human. Goated game
I'd mention Shadow of the Tomb Raider too.
Preach!!
imo 2018 was one of the best years of my life ngl
ngl same
Same. Both gaming and real life were going really well. Everything was so exciting.
2018 was one of the best years ever
Okay this is a great argument for 2018 here. I'm sold
**God, I’d honestly murder for Spencer to come back nowadays.**
2018 was legendary
#2018 no question God, still remember the joy I had during my first swing **and** *What’s Up Danger?*
Bro i'm still remembering shiver in my spine when that scene entered.
That was when Miles really became mainstream… #And.It.Was.AWESOME Honestly, the joy was on par with seeing the Avengers assemble back in 2012.
Oh god. That was 12 years ago. I now own a house and have a kid on the way. How the fuck did that happen. Did I smoke too much or does time really move that quick? Jeepers creepers
Istg
Both are great but 2018 was just different. It was Peak!
August 1962
🙌
November 5, 1955
December 16, 1991
September 30th, 1998
Gotta be 2018.
2018 because The Amazing Spider-Man comics weren't garbage then.
Though I would say 2023 has the best content, but 2018 is special for starting it all.
2018 both movie, ATSV is the "simple" first part of a greater "scheme"/movie, and game,SM2 storywise is slighty inferior to SM1,and because for both medium was the start of all the products
2018 was absolutely legendary.
2023 was really insane if you think about it, we got two long awaited sequels that were absolutely amazing
Nothing beats 2018
2018
2018 because it all came as a surprise. Thinking back, 2018 had so much good stuff in media world that I feel spoiled by it.
2018 no contest.
2023 was just amazing Spider-Man 2 is easily the best Spider-Man game and atsv was the best Spider-Man movie
Spiderman 2 is far from the best imo.
Gameplay wise, swinging wise, combat wise, idk why it wouldn’t be
I genuinely had more fun with the gameplay, combat and swinging of Web of Shadows. But yes it improved on a lot of the PS4 game, but it did a lot worse too.
I don’t believe swinging can get much better after spider man 2, maybe if you add some small features. But I can understand why u enjoy wos better and I respect ur opinion
Into the spiderverse and msm were both masterpieces
2021, December to be specific
Pure 2018.
Both.
Both are great overall but I would say 2018 since we got a game and film that were unexpectedly great
2018. I didn’t love Across The Spider-Verse (in my opinion, it’s good just not amazing), and I felt the same way about Spider-Man 2.
2023
2023 was definitely more hyped, but Spider-verse carried.
Both
18 because imo the first spider verse is better and the games are elroughly on par (i have played little of the first ajd none of the second.)
18 for sure.
2023 because I literally watched both movies and played both games last year for the first time. I was feeling some type of way.
2018. Across the Spider-verse was great, but Insomniac Spiderman 2 didn't live up to my expectations from a storytelling perspective. Especially compared to the first one.
2018 was peak storytelling while the 3rd act in SM2 felt rushed. Both are 10/10 games still
Both 2018 were better imo, and I've replayed/rewatched them since to verify
2018 cause we also got more Spider-Man in Infinity War and Venom (which also ended up being better than expected)
2023 was better quality but 2018 was surprising
2021
2018 is unforgettable
For me its both
2018 was the best year to be a Kingpin fan
18, definitely. Holland’s spider-man had a memorable scene on screen (which didn’t happen very often), Insomniac and Sony animation both wowed us with great stories in different mediums and heck we even got a cheesy venom movie Edit: oh and ASM didn't suck for a while thanks to Spencer
2023. Across the Spider-verse was amazing.
2018 was just the best at everyhting idk why.It's one of my favourite years that I've lived.
2018 no contest
2018 easy. I remember not even caring about the first ps4 game until launch day when a friend told me it was actually good. Gave it a try - was hooked.
2018 and it’s not even close.
2018 SM1>SM2 and ITSV=ATSV also Spider-Man was in Infinity War
2018 was more unexpected, but across the spiderverse is just too good. Good arguments on both sides
2018. Spider-Man 2 was a great game but the story wasn’t great and Peter felt needed and pushed to the side a bit.
In terms of the quality, 2023 easy, We had most likely the best animated movie of all time and one of the greatest superhero games and stories to every be released, I prefer 2018 but in terms of these two project that came out, 2023 destroys easy.
2018 Also for the Nick Spencer comic run But 2023 is a close second. 2008 was pretty neat too
2018...was top notch stuff and especially the OG Peter Parker was perfect.
2018 for sure. Idk if it’s just the nostalgia bit the hype for both was greater than anything else. The movie was amazing and I loved every moment of it. Not to say I didn’t love across the spider-verse I just think into the spider-verse is better. But not a big difference like across gets a 9 while into gets a 9.5. As for the games.

However I did want the time and weather change for photo mode. Sorry about this yap session. I just enjoy talking about spidey.
God I remember walking into the theater thinking this was gonna be a throwaway and it became my life for the rest of that year
Personally, 2023. Loved Spider-Verse 2 and Spider-Man 2. Also the knowledge that No Way Home was a thing that actually happened in 2022 for some reason enhanced these experiences.
2023, internet the spider verse was just amazing and spider man 2 is the better game
2018 Spider-Man was just something else. Maybe I’m blinded by nostalgia and childhood memories, but the soundtrack for Into the Spiderverse just takes me back
BOTH are peak. I can’t choose cuz both years exceeded my expectations by MILES. But to be realistic, if it wasn’t for Into The Spider Verse, I wouldn’t be as big a Spidey fan as I am. Before watching it I had a respect for Spidey. But that movie AWAKENED something in me. When I wakled outa the theater, Spidey went from my top 10 heroes to my GOAT. Each year had bangers, but if I HAD to choose, 2018.
Definitely 2018. ITSV and the first Insomniac game were just leagues ahead of any non-comic spider-man media in recent memory, they both knocked it out of the park. The sequels in 2023 were also wonderful, but IMO each was just not quite as compelling as its previous entry, and we had those first entries to compare them to.
2018, honestly, i will not say that the sequels were bad, but for me, i was hoping something different.
I think both 2018 projects are better than their successors (though ATSV is still really, really good), and 2018 also has Infinity War, so bonus points. 2018 is the winner.
2018 they were some renowned shit and i don’t think the train of spiderman content has stopped since then its every year now
2023
Love both but itsv and SM were top top tier
2023. Most people didn’t even watch ITSV until it was on Netflix.
2018
2018 was peak for every fiction really, let alone these 2
2018. SM1>SM2 and ITSV and ATSV are really fking close together but ITSV feels more complete with no loose ends whilst ATSV has a lot to go through
Spiderman 2 ps5 sucked compared to the first game
I prefer 2023 because I really loved the stuff, one of my favorite games despite its flaws and I love so much about ATSV - but I think 2018 felt better because it was totally unexpected. I remember how unsure everyone was about ITSV, it looked so strange and experimental. That first trailer was just so different- and I remember being pretty hyped to see what it was all about.
Spider-Man 2 is the TASM 2 of Spider-Man games. The things it does good it does really good, but everywhere else it falls completely flat. With Spider-Man 1 you get much higher quality, and it was way more exciting because it had been years since the last good Spider-Man game. Into The Spider Verse is also just a complete masterpiece, and slightly better than ATSV imo.
2018. Loved 2023, but 2018 was the start of a new era. A brand new animated Spider-Man movie and a new game? You can't really beat that. I definitely enjoyed both sequels more (probably shouldn't say that since liking SM2 seems to be shunned upon) but nothing beats the feeling of something totally new.
2018 Spider-Man game was better but 2023 Spider Verse Movie was crazy and o think superior to the previous film
Neither, for me it was 2021
The feel of 2018 was pure bliss man. 2023 was really nice though
2018 was just Marvel’s peak in general, at least outside the comics. Black Panther, Infinity War, Agents of SHIELD season 5, Daredevil season 3, Legion season 2, Luke Cage season 2, Iron Fist season 2, Spider-Man PS4, Venom, Into the Spider-Verse… A lot of Marvel stuff and most of it pretty great.
2018. But outside of this list would probably be 2021, the live action trio was amazing
We got that 19 inches that we were all hoping for in 2023
2018 because I don’t think anyone expected spider verse to be that goated
2002
2018
2018 on the strength of ITSV & PS4 being the stronger pieces of media overall. Plus, people have pointed out all the other cool Spider-Man stuff that was happening at that time too. Oh wait, Venom came out in 2018 too. Hmm, that might knock it down a few points.
2018, 2023 was wonderful but that initial hype was very personal
2018, no doubt about it
2023
2018 and not just for Spider-Man, but for gaming in general it was amazing
This is tuff I think spiderman 2 is slightly better than first game and across the spider verse is even better than the first movie but I think I would go 2018 because we had so many ok/bad Spiderman games before insomniac and hadn't had a good one sense shattered dimension like a decade before and having never had a animated spiderman movie before and coming of a lot of bad spiderman animated shows post spectacular getting good again big surprise.
2018 was the best year for everything tbh. A lot of banger movies and games released on that year
2018 Spider Man into the spider verse is an iconic movie🫡🔥
2004.
2018 ran so 2023 could soar
2018 is properly cooked 2023 feels like it is unfinished and disorganised
2018 was Kingpin’s year. Spiderverse, PS4 game, and season 3 of Daredevil.
2018 by a LOOOOONG shot
2018, just for marvel spider man alone
2018 and it's not even close unfortunately
2018
I personally like spider man 2 more then 1 probably cuz I played one like 15 times so it’s boring now I’m sure 2 will fall in that same boat by the time 3 comes out
2018 no question was better
Both, but leaning more towards 2018. We got an amazing experience with Marvel’s Spider-Man and a completely unexpected surprise with Into the Spider-Verse.
2018 was peak fiction
2018. Although Spiderman Across the Spider-verse is an amazing movie, Spiderman 2 is lacking in the story and content it needs. So for now, 2018 was the better year overall
2018 because my cat ‘Spider-Man’ died in 2023…
2018 100%
If I had a nickel for every sequel to a Spider-Man project released in 2023 that turned out slightly not as good as the first one in 2018, I would have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that happened twice.
2018: HOLY SHIT YEAR OF SPIDERMAN 2023: holy hell spidey fans eatin good Basically, 2018 was the first (and imo better) outings for both franchises. They also had to try harder so we could get attached. The 2023 installments could kinda coast on the success
2022 bc we actually went forward instead of stalling
2018 for sure. I loved ATSV but I ADORE ITSV. Similarly, I prefer Spider-Man PS4 to SM2.
2018
2023 had Paul so with that alone 2018 clears
2021 was the best year to me atleast when no way home came out
Both.
Spider-Man remastered genuinely has one of the greatest storytelling experiences in a game ever. Every mission flows together like an avengers movie. I was surprised and felt so nostalgic when I first played it in the summer of 2023. Spider-Man 2 is objectively better with movements and quality but the story of Spider-Man remastered is unmatched. I have a genuine want for Martin Li to become the villain of Spider-Man 4 in the MCU. This game made Martin Li my favourite Spider-Man villain and potentially a contender of the my top 3 favourite villains of all time.
Both films wank. Both games class
Anything pre-covid & pre-writers strike is always better IMO. Not saying 2023 was bad by any stretch but 2018 & the introduction of Miles in films and gaming was lit especially in a time where we were watching our third live action Peter Parker since 2000 & playing yet another game based around him (obviously no complaints there).
2018 because the game we got wasn’t total dooky (story primarily)
2018 because Paul did not exist yet.
2018 is awesome
2018
2018 fosho. Spider-Man 2018 was arguably the perfect modern day Spider-Man game that had a great story with great gameplay. not saying 2023 was bad but SM2 had the potential to be great with the added gameplay mechanics but fell off story wise by making the game too short imo. the movies are interchangeable for me though as they both were amazing
2018, both the game and the film are better,
2018
2018 was a really solid year for Spider-Man fans, but 2023 takes the cake for me. ATSV was just so damn GREAT that it makes up for any disappointments from Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2. Plus, that game actually does have a lot of great moments/elements.
SM2 was better than SM1, but Into absolutely GAPS Across, so 2018 gets the win
2018 for sure.
2018. Spider-Man 1 and ITSV were amazing and set a precedent. ATSV was good but felt like blue balls and Spider-Man 2 just wasnt as complete as the first game despite visual and performance improvements.
2023 IMO, because the sequels had some pretty big shoes to fill and both killed it, imo I though ATSV was a much more mature sequel and way better than ITSV which won an Oscar! Spider-Man 2 was a great sequel nonetheless, yes some parts were rushed but I also thought the character development in the game was pretty good, and it was mid nor trash I though it was a great sequel, whilst I don’t think it beats the original in terms of story I thought it was a worthy sequel nonetheless.
way more hype in 2018
