One Amazon shopper wrote: ‘What a fantastic game. I do not usually play single player games, but I made an exception just this once and pre-ordered this game for release day delivery and boy was I impressed. The reason I don’t play single player games is because gaming for me is about making friends and just meeting new people in general, so I tend to play online multiplayer games like Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Red Dead Redemption, Dead By Daylight, etc.
‘This game is incredible. The physics, the gameplay, the storyline, the open world (they’ve recreated NYC and it looks stunning). This is probably one of the best, if not THE best single player game on PS4. It helps if you like the Spider-man movies and New York City.’
