Top 10 Games with Spiders

Video games like to creep players out in different ways. Perhaps that's why our dear old "friend" the spider features so often in popular games.

The games in this list do include spiders, but not always for jump scares. In fact, like in Webbed, the spider turns out to be the hero of the story. Seeing things from the spider's point of view can shine a whole new light on how we feel about them.

This list includes the top 10 games drawn from the last 17 years, with 879 likes. They come from a range of different genres and play-styles and are all good games if you want to deal with spiders.
