Insomniac's Next Spider-Man Game Should Avoid The Multiverse

I can’t be the only one who’ssick of the multiverseat this point, right? It’s been a dominating mainstream trend for the last several years, but I’ve just never clicked with it. Multiverse narratives are huge in superhero stories andMarvel’s Spider-Man 2dips its toes into the multiverse with a missable scene at the end of the Spider-bot collectible quest. The Spider-verse is a big deal in Spider-Man comics and movies, but I’m really hoping that the Easter egg scene in Spider-Man 2 is just that: an Easter egg....

Left 4 Dead Meets Helldivers 2 In This Strange, Dangerous New Extraction Shooter

FBC: Firebreak, in the best and simplest way possible, feels like a classic co-op extraction shooter.

Yet even so, some may argue that FBC: Firebreak is too simple a game, with little in the way of longevity right out of the gates, especially when compared to modern live-service titles....
