As big as online gaming has become, 2023 has shown that single player games are absolutely thriving. Whether it’s a sequel that takes what its forebears did and refines or expands the experience further, a game that takes a genre and wrings every ounce of creativity and ingenuity out of it with new ideas, this year has been absolutely fantastic for gamers that like to be left alone in front of the screen.

Very few video game promotional products can actually make graphics better, but the official eyeglasses from Warby Parker can do just that. A tie-in between prescription glasses and a video game release is a different breed of cross-promotion from the norm, as fans usually see products aimed at children, like fast food restaurant toys or limited run cereals. This makes the Warby Parker collaboration stand out, since prescription eyeglasses are extremely practical, and can certainly do more to improve video game graphics than a new television.

This seems to be a common complaint surrounding some of Sony's movies, with both 2007's and 2014's criticized for juggling multiple villains without giving a satisfactory amount of screen time to each villain's arc.

Insomniac had its work cut out for it with Spider-Man 2 . To say expectations were high going into this sequel is an understatement, buffered by both the first game's major success and the bridge between console generations that was Miles Morales. This new Spidey adventure had to take the best elements from those games, mix them with new characters, features, and stories, and produce the kind of game fans will talk about for years. Somehow, they did just that; Spider-Man 2 is, to get the easy pun out of the way early, amazing. 

Peter Parker and Miles Morales face several villains throughout . While most of these villains have complete arcs in the game's campaign or are used to set up future appearances in sequels or potential DLC, there is one villain who appears in the game but doesn't have a clear story arc ahead.

Though this exceptional game has a phenomenal main story, some of the game's side missions and activities are so good that they almost steal the show.

It might seem like there isn't much farther for him to go, but the perfect mechanic to transform his abilities connects perfectly to

The release of DLC for could finally resolve a huge missed opportunity from. The second game released in Insomniac's series,, was an outstanding title; however, the base game was short and it lacked any DLC. This was compounded in the most recent game, by the fact that, for the most part, comes across as a Peter Parker-orientated game, with Miles being relegated to the unenviable position of being the game's secondary protagonist — especially during the main story sections concerning Harry Osborn and the game's primary antagonist, the sentient alien Symbiote known as Venom.

Insomniac Games' is the latest in a series of video games that has done a phenomenal job of including a vast range of powerful adversaries for Peter Parker and Miles Morales to face — both universally known enemies and those that are little recognized outside the most dedicated Spider-Man fans. Despite this, there are a significant number of enemies that absolutely must feature in the inevitable sequel to the latest entry, — a few of whom have never made it into a game, but absolutely have the potential to be devastatingly powerful bosses that torment both Peter and Miles as well as New York.

Insomniac Games' for PlayStation 5 is filled with Easter eggs and character guest appearances. Part of the series' allure has always been finding these secrets and interacting with fan-favorite characters. Now, with Miles Morales being a main character in the series and not simply a spin-off or guest himself, Insomniac has a big job for any upcoming DLC to continue to expand the cast of characters.

Miles plays an enormous role in ; however, he is, throughout large sections of the game, overshadowed by Peter Parker and can come off feeling like a secondary character rather than a joint protagonist of equal importance. Though Peter is the original Spider-Man and, therefore, has decades of fan recognition, Miles Morales has, in recent years, become just as popular and widely beloved as his friend and mentor, both in the comics, as well as the film and video game adaptions. Although Miles doesn't solely possess the spotlight in the latest installment of Insomniacs' games, he does go through a lot.

But where did Alan Wake 2 land on the charts?

features a solid roster of playable characters, but one minor inclusion is definitely way worse than the other options. Bouncing between a variety of protagonists was a concept first introduced in the original, which occasionally set Peter's story aside to follow the footsteps of Mary Jane Watson or Miles Morales. Neither of these offered gameplay that was quite as dynamic as Peter's, with Mary Jane's segments, in particular, receiving some flak, but improves both of these options while introducing another that falls behind either.

In , the Symbiote, known as Venom when fully manifested, causes an extraordinary amount of physical, mental, and emotional damage to Peter Parker, Miles Morales, Harry Osborne, and Mary Jane Watson; however, its inclusion, and the effect it has on the game's main characters, often results in them doing or saying incredibly relatable things — many of which make their depictions all the more emotive and enjoyable. While the Symbiote corrupts its host, Marvel's Spider-Man 2's main characters seemingly try to make the most of a bad situation — perhaps for their own survival, but also for the wellbeing of those they care about.

Insomniac Games seems to be heavily teasing a Daredevil appearance in . There has long been speculation surrounding whether the two New York superheroes could ever meet in a game, primarily as players are able to explore The Man Without Fear's stomping ground, Hell's Kitchen across all three of Insomniac Games' Marvel titles to date.

The perfect DLC for could significantly improve the story, but it would be a completely different game in terms of both gameplay and narrative.

Both heroes take on their Spider-Man persona to fight crime in the city and stop Kraven’s plans, as they try to understand the presence of the Symbiote known as Venom.

When was first revealed in a trailer showing Peter and Miles fighting side by side, there was speculation that the game could have an additional co-op mode for players to take control of both heroes simultaneously. As the game's promotion went on, however, it became clear that Insomniac Games' sequel would be single player just like its predecessors.
