    Spider-Man is a splendidly tuned action game with a stunning story, great action and gameplay mechanisms that won’t bore you for a moment. You should not miss out on this trip among comic heroes. It's a bomb! [Issue#289]

    Spider-Man exceeded my expectations in every single way. It has its low points, but they are so minor, they become insignificant in the face of its many positive points. Spider-Man is the PS4's second system seller in 2018.

    The game not only fulfills what it promised, but it gives us an original story worthy of a Marvel movie.

    Spider-Man is probably Insomniac’s best game, and the best Spider-Man game to date. A great adventure everyone can enjoy and fans of the superhero will love.

    The Wall Crawler’s open world doesn’t consistently deliver the thrilling moments of its main campaign, but the foundation laid here is undoubtedly a spectacular one.

    In terms of story-telling and direction this might as well be an addition to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe with its high production values. But as soon as you stray away from the main plot, you’ll land in an open world that is mostly beautiful to look at, but where some positive elements meet quite a few that are only average at best. Nonetheless a great superhero romp throughout.

    This game shows tremendous love for all things Spider-Man, and the ending packs a punch he would be proud of. But Insomniac relies too much on its hero to elevate the world built around him, with the result that the game wears thin some time before its powerful conclusion.

    You can feel the love Insomniac put into this game, and it goes a long way.

    There are no words to explain how excellent this game is. The best I have tried in many years and, of course, the best Spider-Man.

It is my favourite game in ps 4 and ps 5. The open world lacks variety and can be repetitive, also the story does take some time to get exciting but it is mindless fun to swing around and combat is so satisfying. It makes me feel like the spider man. Looking forward to the second game.… Expand

    This game is the perfect dream of wanting to be Spider-Man, if you are a fan of the comics, films or the popular cartoons. New York comes toThis game is the perfect dream of wanting to be Spider-Man, if you are a fan of the comics, films or the popular cartoons. New York comes to life with crime that has to be stopped and Landmarks to find that are either from the real world we live in or for the comic experts that know marvel inside and out The collectibles in backpacks are great as well and filled with Easter Eggs. Earn these tokens and also do secret challenges to either upgrade equipment, upgrade skills or get suits based on the canon from previous universes fans will get a kick out of, with brand new ones as well made for the game..Such as the great looking Advanced suit in the advertisement and is getting upgraded for the sequel Some people say the combat is copied by the 'Batman Arkham' games, even though it is inspired by it's rhythm and stealth, the fighting is more acrobatic to suit how fast and fluent spider man is with web combat amd other gadgets, with one of them being the well known web shooters with for fun ones to collect as you delve deeper into the game. The games traversal of web slinging is the part that will get loads of people going as it is fast and very massive in detail, it is not as physics based in the past as they want to be sure you can switch from building to building without losing any momentum, which this does EFFECTIVELY, this also does not ruin the pace of how Spider-Man moves at all! I will not go into much detail on the story as it really should be experienced by you the gamer without you being given any spoilers But the small plot that has been shown in trailers is when Peter Parker (who is now an adult in his mind 20s and not a teenager) has finally taken down the mobster kingpin, causing crime to break loose and introduce iconic Spider-Man villians and Spider-Man being introduced to his new big foe Mr Negative. This story is told with amazing writing and dialogue by writers and actors, which people forget it is actually acted in motion capture and not just voice acted so people give there all in this You can buy this game on PS4, PS5 or PC. There is also DLC, which can be purchased separately ONLY ON PS4 Also if you buy Miles Morales on PS5, you can buy the PS5 version with it for a cheaper price of $20/£20, which considering Miles is usually sold used for £10 on PS5 nowadays, it is cheap and easy to get. This game truly is perfect for both veterans and people that want to enjoy the game.… Expand

    This game is embarrassing bad. The gameplay is boring and unintuitive, and the combat is too slow to be enjoyable.
