In case you forgot, just one week ago, Sonys Spider-Man 2, the extremely popular sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man, was released on PC. Although it’s not hard to forget, between the release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Civilization VII, and the fact there wasn’t really any advertising for the port.
But perhaps forgetting was for the better, as the release of Spider-Man 2 marked a new low for Sony, with what was without a doubt one of the worst PC ports to date. It even had a lower Steam review score than Lego Horizon Zero Dawn, but to hear more about that, you can read here.
