April is here, meaning long weekends, a disturbing excess of egg-shaped confectionaries, and also new games for Sony’s PlayStation Now subscription service, which this month adds Spider-Man, Just Cause 4, and The Golf Club 2019 for streaming and download.
Marvel’s Spider-Man, of course, was a bit of a highlight on its release in 2018, with developer Insomniac Games offering up a wonderfully breezy – and attractive – urban open-world adventure in which everybody’s favourite sticky fingered superhero saved civilians and slung his gunk at crooks and miscreants the length and breadth of Manhattan.
“Can you truly say you have lived until you have lamped someone with a manhole cover?”, asked Christian Donlan in his Recommended review of Spider-Man on release, before celebrating the other moments that give Insomniac’s effort such a distinctive feel to its frequently drabber, darker open-world contemporaries, despite its structural similarities.
