Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Despite Disney owning Marvel, Sony's exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games earns its place on our list. The game follows Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives with their superhero responsibilities amidst new threats in New York City, including Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote.
