This is an amazing fantasy come to life and realised like never before.Insomniac Gameshas crafted yet another heartfelt Spider-Man story bursting with twists, turns, and show-stopping spectacle.” As a sequel, gamers say they feel more confident spending £70 on a familiar franchise.

Plenty of people agreed. One userreplied, “I’ve become a mostly patient gamer, unless it’s something I’m really really excited for. There’s just no need to buy a game straight away. Especially these days, when the game will often have issues that will be patched later. If you’re willing to wait, you get a better product for a better price. It’s tough to argue against that,” while vroomaticadded, “Yes. I don’t know how people afford these games at all with the current living cost crisis. I’m fairly well off, but I still have a hard time justifying a purchase of a game with that price tag.”
Many said that they’ve turned to usingXbox Game PassandPlayStation Plusinstead of buying new releases, whilst the vast majority of commenters said they wait for games to go on sale. Let’s just hope we don’t see a further price rise with the next console gen.
