The arrival of Marvel’s Spider-Man on PC brings one of PlayStation’s signature stars to a new platform. It looks fantastic, plays well across a variety of setups, and is one of the best games of the last five years. It is, in other words, essential, though you might want to wait for it to go on sale.
Plays great, but doesn't really reinvent the wheel

Spider-Man Remastered CPU Benchmark: The game has been buttery smooth for us, with the exception of a few older configurations using Zen and Zen+ processors, and we'd expect the experience to be dramatically worse with the likes of the older Core i5-7600K as the Core i3-10105F – which is basically a 7700K, which is basically a 6700K – wasn't very good.
Spider-Man Remastered GPU Benchmark: For example, 1080p medium only requires a Radeon 6500 XT, and that means any relatively modern GPU that's not a GTX 1630 or A380 will work just fine. The 6500 XT 1% lows were still a bit sketchy, so let's say the GTX 1650 is the minimum requirement here. Then at 1440p, the Radeon RX 580, 5500 XT, GTX 1080 or RTX 3050 will work well.

With fantastic graphics and, ahem, spectacular gameplay, this is the best Spider-Man game ever. The performance isn't quite what I'd hoped, and some of the contrivances regarding enemy types get on my nerves, but this is a game that every Spidey fan needs to play.
The remaster isn’t without its faults, though, as windowed mode is limited, we did run into performance issues while running raytracing (at least more than usual) and drawing the environment can get finicky with fast camera movements. Still, Marvel’s Spider-Man is spectacular beyond bounds. Whether you’re a comic book or PC gaming enthusiast, Marvel’s Spider-Man is well worth experiencing for the first time or once more.
