9. Ultimate Spider-Man: The Gameplay

Now I must first volunteer that I'm not a games writer by trade, or even too much of a gamer. I only bought my PS4 this year and that was explicitly for Spider-Man and Arkham Knight. But, I love Spider-Man games. And this is a good one. The swinging is satisfying and the combat is, while pretty basic compared to recent games, very fun.

Playing as Spider-Man feels light and nimble, and makes you rely on speed and agility, while Venom is a bruiser who wrecks the floor with heavy attacks. Maybe it's because of the comparison, but this is the weakest Spider-Man's ever felt in a video game. For the record, that's not a complaint. A lot of the Boss fights make you feel hopelessly outmatched, especially the ones against Venom. You've been behind the wheel of that truck and you know what it can do. The contrast actually does feel like playing as separate characters, which is unique.

Also, eating people as Venom to regain health is kinda real fun. Only major gameplay complaint is that the trigger spamming that the game makes you do to lift heavy objects can get exhausting and frustrating. Especially during the Green Goblin fight, which is honestly more tiresome than it is fun.
