Spider-Man 2.
Our Stevivor Game of the Year Awards 2023 program continues today with the award for the best action adventure game of the year. Are you not entertained?
As it is every year, this is our most contested category, and that’s in large part to the name of the genre. This year, we had a cavalcade of amazing action adventure games, but Stevivor staffers decided to give the gong to Spider-Man 2.
Commiserations to the likes of Alan Wake 2, The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Hi-Fi Rush, Dead Space, Resident Evil 4, Immortals of Aveum, Everspace 2 and literally so many, many others. We weren’t kidding, eh?
“It’s phenomenal,” Steve wrote as part of his review. “Its closing scenes brought a literal tear to my eye, paying homage not only to Spider-Man’s decades-long history but to the story Insomniac itself has been telling in these 3 — maybe 2.5? — installments.”
Our Game of the Year 2023 awards program continues this week, next week, and in the lead up to the end of the year proper. You can check out both past and future categories below.
Spider-Man 2 is a PS5 exclusive, available now.
