As people who hate fun keep telling me, tying a tablecloth round my neck like a cape and jumping short distances while shouting "Look at me I'm flying" before hitting the ground doesn't make me a superhero. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 does, though – or at least, it brings me as close as I'm ever going to get. It was, and still is, the best superhero simulator the industry has to offer.
It's not such a great game because it looks pretty… but damn, it does look pretty. Amazing even, you might say. This probably shouldn't come as a surprise considering the fact that it has Sony's money and support behind it, but boy oh boy has that money and support paid off. Few PS5 games come close to matching Spider-Man 2 for looks, especially if you have a TV capable of running it in its full 4K or 120hz glory. Want something to show off the capabilities of your console that is somehow going up rather than down in value? This should be your first stop.
