8 ideal last-minute gifts for gamers all across the spectrum

PlayStation 4

Game: Marvel’s Spider-Man

As of this writing, Marvel’s Spider-Man is currently on sale for $40, and for a game that was released not that long ago, that’s a seriously solid deal. Even if the gamer you’re buying for has some mistrust of comic book games after the rise and fall of the Batman: Arkham series, Marvel’s Spider-Man should restore their faith and keep them web-slinging for a while.

It’s entirely possible that your gamer has this gem in their collection already, so we have another PS4 exclusive to recommend: the Shadow of the Colossus remaster. This is a hidden classic gorgeously redone, and again, there’s a lot of game to get through. It’s entirely possible that they’ve missed it among the deluge of great games over the past few years, and it’d make a solid addition to their collection.

Accessory: PlayStation Plus membership

An additional year of PlayStation Plus might not seem like a lot at first glance, but it comes with games monthly on top of the access to online gaming. Don’t worry: even if your gamer is set for a while, adding a code will extend their expiration date, not override what time they have left. Moreover, if you can’t commit to a full year at $60, there are three-month options available at $25 apiece to help you put together a PlayStation bundle of your own.
