There’s an art to remaking a classic. The trick is to stay true to the original, without simply rehashing the same thing; to update with new ideas, without straying too far from what made it great in the first place. This is an art that developer Capcom proved it

Insomniac’s version of Peter Parker is no slouch. He’s been swingin’ in those tights for years, and has all the grace and confidence that comes with that experience. That’s why it’s so jarring to see the third and final episode of the Turf Wars story DLC
