While Spider-Man has solidified its place as one of the developer’s most beloved franchises, Insomniac Games boasts a diverse portfolio of successful titles in various genres. From the action-adventure and third-person shooter masterpiece Sunset Overdrive to the beloved platformers Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet and Clank, and the VR survival horror game Edge of Nowhere, Insomniac’s repertoire is extensive. Marvel’s Spider-Man marked the studio’s first foray into licensed titles and quickly earned the distinction of becoming Sony’s fastest-selling game, outpacing even the acclaimed God of War. However, it didn’t quite reach the coveted 90+ Metacritic score.
The review embargo for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has been lifted, and the game has secured a stellar 91 on Metacritic, aligning it with Insomniac Games’ Spyro: Year of the Dragon and Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal as the developer’s highest-rated titles. Spyro: Year of the Dragon, the third installment in the series, debuted on the PlayStation in 2000, while Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, the third entry in its series, was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2004.
