Spider-Man 2 Steam launch is a new low for Sony as players face performance woes

One of the key ingredients in powerful, affecting horror is mundanity. Resident Evil is set around a normal, working town. Silent Hill takes place across a school, an apartment block, a shopping mall. Even though it’s set in the distant future and the furthest reaches of space, Alien Isolation’s Sevastopol feels like a real, lived-in building. You need a recognizable setting, so that when the terror takes off, it feels like it could be happening to you.

Arriving in full on Monday February 17, it’s already earned a 98% positive Steam rating - and it’s only $6.
