When I started my latest game on the XBox One, I made sure I customized both my characters and one of them I definitely gave the Summon Spider skill to. It's a ranger character, and it fits my playstyle to bring up Spidey and then keep at range. My arachnid takes care of the face-time while I plink away with arrows from a safe distance. It has definitely made a difference in my survivability in the early game.
