Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Developer: Insomniac Games | Publisher: Sony | Release Date: October 20, 2023 | Review: IGN's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 review

Despite Disney's ownership of Marvel, Sony's exclusive title, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, earns a spot on our list. Follow Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they juggle their personal lives with their superhero responsibilities amid new threats in New York City, including Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote. Building on the success of its predecessors, the game introduces new web-based gadgets and Spidey suits for both heroes, with the Venom suit adding a unique twist to Peter's gameplay. Its immense popularity led to 2.5 million copies sold within the first 24 hours and a notable promotion on Wheaties cereal, solidifying its place as the best Spider-Man game to date.

Disney Speedstorm

Developer: Gameloft Barcelona | Publisher: Gameloft | Release Date: April 18, 2023 | Review: IGN's Disney Speedstorm review

For fans of racing games, Disney Speedstorm offers an exhilarating experience where you can race against a wide array of Disney characters. This free-to-play PS5 game mirrors the style of Mario Kart but features tracks themed around the worlds of Disney films and franchises like Mickey and Friends, Mulan, Monsters Inc., Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Crew Members, such as Orange Bird assisting Figment, enhance racers' stats. While the game is a fantastic crossover, it does include microtransactions, a feature not found in other racing titles like Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing or Mario Kart 8. Nevertheless, racing as Mickey Mouse, Mulan, Sulley, Jack Sparrow, or Elsa is an irresistible thrill.
