Cowboys and superheroes: the most exciting video games of autumn 2018

This superhero action game is refreshingly colourful and humorous, fittingly for a game starring Marvel's perennial cheeky chappie. Swinging around New York, slinging webs and beating up criminals is exactly as fun as it sounds. The plot is untethered from any Spider-Man films and comics, bringing many of the web-slingers nemeses together in one story. That also means that developer Insomniac has been able to take its time, which is obvious from how beautiful it looks. A new series of this episodic game about teens in small-town America begins in September, this time starring a couple of brothers on the run rather than a high-schooler with the power to rewind time.
