    Spider-Man arrives after a long hiatus but whilst the visuals are clearly up to the standards we expect from gaming in this era, the game-play itself is very generic and dare I say, last gen.

    Spider-Man is not 'new' to being the 'superhero' so we don't get yet another origin story. However, Spider-Man still has to unlock the map using towers that many Ubisoft Open World games did in the past. For someone that has been Spider-Man in New York for years, its disappointing to see that Spider-Man doesn't know New York until he unlocks the towers. Combat is rip off of Batman Arkham games - albeit with a bit more verticality thanks to the more athletic Spider-Man but I do think its less responsive too. There are some great animations in combat but these have to play out before you can do the next move. This can be frustrating as after a dodge, there is a pause before Spider-man can 'move' again which makes the controls feel unresponsive at times. Sometimes Combat feels great, at other times it feels frustrating, sluggish, unresponsive and for a 'super' hero, known for his strength - which we do see at times (like lifting up cars or collapsed concrete beams), he feels remarkably weak in combat where it can take a few punches to be killed yet some basic goons will take a lot of Spider-Mans attacks to knock them down. Not great when swarmed by 3 or more and dodging leaves you vulnerable to a hit before you can resume your attack.

    On the ground, Spiderman feels very sluggish, not very athletic at all in running. Swinging can feel great when it works but again, there are times when the controls don't seem very responsive. Wall crawling is slow and running up buildings often can seem erratic too. Spider-Man can't climb metal towers either despite the fact that they are like 'ladders' that normal humans wouldn't struggle climbing.

    The open World is well realised but despite being more populated by 'civilians' and vehicles, something the Arkham games weren't, its not particularly interesting (other than visually). The activities and Side Quests are mundane and more filler than anything else. You do have the 'bases' with waves of enemies, random 'crimes' that are repeated in different areas, places of interest to photograph and back-packs to collect. These are not exactly 'skippable' either as you need these to upgrade gadgets and craft suits - how a photograph/backpack helps here, I don't know. Its all just filler, repetitive and/or mundane.

    I won't go into the story to avoid spoilers but there are a lot of scripted elements and a number of QTE's too. You can't come up with your own strategy to beat a boss for example and often rely on dodging until a certain window of opportunity instructs you to use your webs to jam up or swing a heavy object at the boss and repeat until you move to a different phase.

    I know this sounds 'negative' overall but its not all bad. Its very much an 'old' (last gen) game in its format, its game-play and open world but with a quite impressive current gen visual. Its not very innovative and has a lot of aspects that other games get 'criticised' for today - just look at Ubisoft open world games and the general reviewers comments about towers, bases and mundane side quests/activities. I do think that if you are a Spidey fan, as I am, this will score more than the sum of its parts but as 2018 game, its not contemporary with what we expect from other open world games now.

    To address the 'downgrade' issue, its certainly not a bad looking game at all and there are some areas that are far more complex than the E3 image comparisons we have seen. Whilst its true that scene is a downgrade in terms of complexity, I can believe that the change was made more out of man-power, budget and/or time limitations - having to create specific reflections foe every rooftop rather than having one 'generic' reflection and reducing the puddles so that the missing building reflections aren't an issue because of the placement of the smaller puddles was not a decision based on hardware performance. I am sure the PS4 could have handled that scene but Insomniac changed it because they didn't have the time, budget and/or manpower to create bespoke reflections for 'every' puddle, every rooftop etc in the game and it was much easier, as well as take up less space, to make one 'generic' reflection that can be used everywhere.

    Anyway, I am awarding this game a 7 out of 10 as a Spidey fan but you can take 1 off if you are indifferent to Spider-Man. Its a game that 'borrows' from others (Arkham, Ubisoft Open Worlds etc) and wraps them up in some impressive visuals and relying on Spider-Mans popularity to sell rather than being something 'new' and fresh with the Game-play as its major selling point.    … Expand

The bulk of the playtime and highly repetetive fun is housed in the numerous "sidequests", which just have you web around town doing the same things over and over. There are also about 700 bad guy nests to clear. This game was designed on the philosophy of doubling down on Ubisoft's Far Cry model. While being Spidey is great, nothing else is.

That said, Spider’s grand story is overshadowed by its less than stellar gameplay and tedious missions. The absence of a new game plus mode is inexcusable and lowers the game’s replayability. Spider is still worth buying, however, it’s not a match against Batman: Arkham City or even Arkham Asylum—which launched nearly a decade ago. And that’s ironic since Spidey closely mimics Batman’s formula in numerous aspects. Spider-man is a better than average hero game, but it’s safe and repetitive.

    Graphically, Spider is decent. Video scenes are solid. Spidey’s animations and outfits are well-rendered. Voice acting is on par with other AAA titles. Acrobating around NYC is smooth enough. The 30fps lock is disappointing tho. Spidey feels sluggish at times since his frantic movements don’t translate well at the substandard frame rate. In hectic moments, frames will abruptly drop into the teens. Spidey is a spastic combatant, and gameplay would’ve greatly benefited from 60fps. The developers should’ve included an option that downgrades graphics to boost frame rates.

    I don’t understand the frame lock. Compared to exclusives like Horizon:Zero Dawn and God of War, Spider’s set pieces are unremarkable. The sandbox is large, but buildings and assets are flat and nondescript. Except for landmarks, everything looks the same, and everything is impeccably pristine. There are no signs of wear and tear on structures which have stood for over 100 years. There’s no grime or rust. It’s a forgettable city that’s comprised of generic, copied and pasted assets.

    The story starts strong, but quickly stumbles over itself. It mimics Arkham Asylum’s plot. But the end result is uneven pacing, a handful of boring missions, and mostly uninteresting villains. Except for one, villains play minor roles, and encounters with them are formulaic: Dodge, dodge, QTE and then rinse, repeat. They aren't menacing at all.

    Fatigue creeps in just after the midgame. Tedious side missions are endlessly recycled. Enemy bases are recycled as well. Enemies are samey, just reskinned for each faction. Players don’t get to explore NYC’s underground, slums, or subways. Players who feel adequately upgraded may just want to focus on the story.

    Spider forces gamers to play as other characters in multiple “stealth” missions. These are boring, on-rails missions that exist solely for plot exposition. They comprise roughly an hour or more of the 10 hour campaign. After zipping around as Spider-man, these missions serve as a harsh reminder why such missions suck. Who wants to play as Mary Jane? Nobody.

    Spider’s world lacks dynamism. Despite one villain’s miles long rampage, cranes tipping over, and flying wrecking balls demolishing buildings, nothing physically changes once missions end. Buildings are unscathed. Showing a cityscape crumbling apart at the seams would’ve instilled realism and urgency into the game. Characters refer to all the demolition happening around them, but there’s no evidence of it anywhere except roaming gangs of baddies.

    Combat is passable, but it lacks Arkham’s refinement. Locating grapple points in stealth is a perfect example. After a sneaky flying kick takedown, Spidey can’t quickly zip away to other locations. Players must rotate the camera until it’s perfectly positioned on certain objects and hope grapple icons appear. Looking at objects isn’t enough tho. The crosshair has to be positioned at exact points on objects, otherwise grapple icons don’t appear. Camera location, distance to objects, and object heights all affect this as well. A cumbersome, inexact process. Targeting specific enemies for web attacks is just as awkward.

    Spider’s combat emphasizes gravity defying dodging and stunts. But the lack of aiming on certain moves and poor camera angles handicaps the hero. He will web pull enemies from out of frame although he’s looking directly at other ones. This leads to unavoidable damage. Performing multiple instant takedowns is problematic because enemies are occluded during the close up, slowmo animations.

    Although Arkham's Batman moves slower than Spidey, his moveset is precise and deliberate. Batman’s focus on brute force combat translates well ingame and provides players a greater sense of control. Gadget use in Batman fares better as well. Overall, Spider’s combat is chaotic, but not always in a good way.

    Spidey can only refill gadgets by performing enemy takedowns. Specific takedowns are required to refill each gadget. Players with slow reflexes will enter battles unprepared. Focusing on suit upgrades which mitigate damage is helpful.

    Spider-man isn’t a bad game, but it needs a new game plus, better set pieces, a streamlined story, and more polished combat. It doesn’t dethrone Arkham Batman as the king of the hill. One playthrough is enough for me.    … Expand

The combat for example feels fluid and polished, however in order to give us the full spider-man experience they had to cram moves into every conceivable button combination. This can be super annoying when fighting droves of enemies, but when you get a sniper or rocket dude hitting you and you're fumbling for buttons it's super aggregating when a single hit takes 60%+ of your life away. Oh and they really skimped on the i-frames in spider-man, you're vulnerable in almost every animation leading to deaths that just feel cheap like you died because spidey had to do that extra backflip and took a sniper round to the face, rather than because you did anything wrong.

    The world is absolutely spectacular, Manhattan looks great, travelling around is fluid and feels right. The world however is filled with your standard open world game busy work, find the collectables, snap some photos, solve some puzzles, beat some horde mode encounters, you know the drill, but it's old hat and I think developers really need to reassess how they go about these open world games in future.

    The story is easily the best aspect of the game, while it's fairly short if you ignore the open world busy work, it's well made, well voice acted and just generally fun to play though with the exception of the Mary Jane and Miles Morales stages, which just feel like boring padding.

    All in all spider-man is a good game, the world and story are great, the combat is average with some frustrating parts and the open world busy work is bland and uninteresting. Pick it up to blitz though the main story if it's on sale or something.    … Expand

Anytime a story mission goes into either a lab scene or an mj/ miles scene the game loses its step. There were far to many campaign missions that just felt like filler.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've completed the game, all harry research stations, all backpacks, all pigeons, all bases, all landmarks.
    I just need to finish up challenges and I'm going to have the 100% mark done pretty soon. So I have a comprehensive experience on it.

    This unfortunately is being run by a hype machine, it's nowhere near the 90s people are giving it and over rates the game and misleads people to where it's at.

    The obvious good points are the visuals are great, along with the web traversal, it's intuitive and very smooth. You will rarely ever swing into a building and donk yourself against it, losing all the momentum you've built up. (although that should be a given in a spider-man game).
    I liked a lot of details like the little tweet section and JJ podcasts that adds a layer of immersion to the world. The interiors on buildings that you're crawling past despite eventually being copy paste still managed to impress me because of the effort of city detail when they could have just put mirrored windows on

    The core story is very short, and the padding as Mary Jane/Miles Moral can be extremely tedious when you just want to get to being spiderman and I ended up just speed running as them and finding not a lot of issues in recklessly running around as them.
    The bosses themselves are waaaaay to easy, Their patterns you figure out within 15 seconds because they're that repetitive. And you just end up rinse/repeating that strategy until the cutscene arrives which can feel a bit of a chore not a engaging challenge to over come.

    The story lingers a lot on Martin Lee, like, a lot. A good 66% of the game is about stopping him so the sinister 6 thing feels a little rushed because you only get one mission boss fight with them each and then they're gone. Made them kinda disposable characters for some of spidermans main villains.

    Most of those are legit criticisms but not worthy of bringing it down three points...but my biggest gripe? The side missions/side quests. The most mundane rinse and repeat fetch quests/time trials/"map reveal" watchtower clichés that we have seen time and time and time again in open world games. They're getting so repetitive in the genre that I'm already bored of them the first time I ever played them in the game because I've already done it a million times before.

    The set crime response missions were pretty good, but they need to make it more organic. Kind of like a radiant system with a wide plethora of missions. All the way from stopping bank heists to helping old ladies cats out of trees. Bring back the friendly neighborhood spider-man.

    I feel like it's a good start for spider-man, but insomniac weren't trying to make an amazing game rather than a decent one to make the set up for a sequel that REALLY has potential. (symbiotes, which I was kinda disappointment didn't make an appearance here.)

    Also, PLEASE devs, PLEASE. Make villains unlockable characters to play again like when the first sam raimi spiderman game let me play as the green goblin, or how ultimate Spiderman let me play venom.

Just a bunch of cookie cutter boxed buildings with a few exceptions like Avengers HQ and the Daily Bugle. Compared to games like Arkham Knight, the city is just bland to explore, but I guess it's just New York.

    The combat just gets old very quickly and the most basic moves are really all you need to progress. It used the same tried and true formula created by the Batman Arkham series but really does not innovate. Difficulty rises simply because the game will throw numbers at you and you just need to manage the massive amounts of enemy types, from basic thugs to Riflemen to shield toting guys, etc. Each enemy has most efficient way of getting disposed but mostly you bash 2 buttons.

    The side missions are all just pretty meh as well although the main story is solid and there is a plethora of spidey suits you can don, but unlocking some of them is a chore. Ultimately, the game itself turns into a chore by the end and there just isn't enough diversity to the gameplay. Still, overall a great Spiderman game and I did enjoy it while it lasted.    … Expand

    Person should have as much hands than a spider to handle all these kind of commands.

Character jumps either 20 centimeters or 10 meters from same button and cannot be controlled. Character just completely jackass around because of that.

These are anything from taking pics of spots, random challenges which flood the area, random crimes (which are super repetitive and you need to do like 160+ to platinum the game), the dreadfully boring science missions, and side quests that ultimately have you do more of the same that you're doing with the other side content. Out of all the side stuff, I enjoyed one single thing, that was the tombstone side quest, and that was because it felt like a main story segment, while also being quick and to the point. Also it had one of the more epic boss fights and enemies in the game as a conclusion. It was the taskmaster quest, with a much cooler boss fight, and without all the boring grind to get to that point.

    Overall I'm just glad I'm done with the games, I'll buy the dlc when they go on sale for cheap enough and I don't have too many other things on the sale that I want, but the atrocious side content needs to be hit on if we are to get a better game with it's likely sequel: a creator of content won't improve something that they think is broken.

    Main story-line: 8 or 9 but super short.
    Side content: 4/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics, gameplay and story are good, but for me its not amazing. The side quests are boring most of the time, playing with MJ or Miles its just pointless, the mini games with Peter are also boring. Collecting stuff is ok as a way to show and remember things that Peter did in the comics. Its the kinda game that it can be trully amazing in a sequel if they have the time to do it.… Expand

    Spiderman is a game that is worthy and a well-written Marvel experience. It's that game that we've hoped for, all of us who really grew up with the Spiderman comics, and it twists and 'modernise' the plots a little bit. But that's not a bad thing.

    What is a bad thing though, is that the game absolutely revs the PS4 Pro to shreds while in-game. I know, you're thinking that I might've got my console tucked into something or that it's badly ventilated or not cleaned or whatnot. It's not. Reviewers rarely comment on these things, but there's that.
    I don't necessarily point on things as good or bad as a measurement on what score I'd consider Spiderman with. Let's just say this: when the story goes on, it is really flipping good, and when you're swinging around webbing stuff - you really do feel like you have great powers and great responsibility. But everyone else doesn't seem to have that much of any responsibility? Citizens of New York are kind of dull. Not much is going on other than traffic. There are side missions and tasks that are quite fun, but it gets repetitive really quick.

    Spiderman is that game where you do stuff in order to unlock trophies. You could absolutely go for the Platinum trophy in this game, just do everything fairly good. But you don't play it for too long, because then it mostly feel like you're doing in-game chores. So my experience was really mixed. It's absolutely the best Spiderman game we've played and if you're a Marvel-fan it's a no-brain decision to get it. If you're thinking "I don't know.." about buying it, you could absolutely wait for a price-drop. If you're thinking I'm an idiot "Of course it's great!" then buy it immediately. It's a solid buy, but comes with some minor faults and the risk of feeling dull after playing for some time.    … Expand

    3. lacking in animations

    4. Dynamic crime system is limited to 5 crimes per district per enemy type (meaning if you progress in the story and discover new enemies they will start to commit crimes the problem is the crimes arent randomly generated and infinite meaning you have a limited amount of them)

    5. miles morales and marry jane gameplay sections all boil down to sneaking past guards and are pointless.

    Spider-Man is exactly what I expected it to be. It had a solid story, solid enough combat, amazing webslinging, repettive side missions, and tons of Spidermans best villains. But it never pushed the bar forward. It feels like the definitive Spider Man game but it never gets its own personality. It feels like it just does everything well enough to make everyone satisfied but never blown away.

    The remaining activities are quite tolerant and some are even interesting.

    The story itself while decent could use some work. This game starts out slow and reaches a peak during the last 5 or so missions. The side character stealth missions are enjoyable if nothing new. The spider-man missions are fun at times but tend to get repetitive due to the game's combat. The combat in the game is Arkham's combat with almost no modification. The main difference is that you have a web shooter that can incapacitate all enemy types provided their on the floor. Nothing new is really added and the game mainly just adds more enemies as the game goes on. All early missions follow a strict formula where you either fight enemies or do some stealth takedowns from above (this is taken from the Arkham series as well). Stealth gameplay is pretty basic so it loses it's charm after the first few times. The main story gets a bit better at the end when it goes into bigger set pieces instead of repeated content used over and over again, however this makes up only about 15-10% of the story overall so the main campaign could have used a bit more polish.

    This game may be worth playing if you really like spider-man (which I do), but as a game it doesn't do anything really well or interestingly so for most there are other games that are better worth your money.    … Expand

    Full review:
    I spent the entire weekend playing this game. I've played most every Spider-Man game since the NES, and I think I even played the DOS version back in the day. Several have been horrible. This one is just meh. It's not a Amazing (pun intended), but it's not trash. The main reason I play Spider-Man games anymore is to see Venom and /or Green Goblin. This game has neither.

    What this game does have is an SJW coating. Almost every new character is a person of color. The only exceptions I saw were a guy with a man bun whose ethnicity I could not determine, a cop who was a jerk, and a football player, who again, was a jerk. Luckily they didn't race/gender swap any existing characters. It also appears that they intentionally hired unattractive actors as Mary Jane is a square jawed, plump faced, ginger without any sex appeal whatsoever. Aunt May isn't meant to be a sex symbol, but she looks like a crack whore in this game. Peter just doesn't look like Peter to me, but he's the least offensive of the main protagonists.

    The main story is too short. All the side missions, backpacks, etc. pad it well, but I was able to get 80+ percent in every area after about 25 hours, and I think you could do just the main story in 10.

    The story deviates widely from any of the comics. It's an interesting take, but the scene after the credits made me strongly dislike the story as a whole. Without spoiling anything, it appears that two characters will be combined in the next game. Looking back on it, the story feels like a Rian Johnson wannabe, where expectations were subverted but not in a good way.

    I would always sigh in frustration every time I was forced to play as anyone other than Peter. I don't like the Miles Morales story line from the comics, and his inclusion in this game just feels forced. Now, there was one section where you get to see Spider-Man in the background doing his thing, and that was pretty fun and creative, but just sneaking around is very counter intuitive to what I expect from an action game. I don't play metal gear solid because I don't wanna hide in the dark, I wanna run up and punch people.

    Now for the good. The combat, albeit almost too easy on normal, is very satisfying. Being able to turn off quick time event prompts, button mashes, and tedious brain teasers was much appreciated. The web swinging never got boring for me. It was nice that with the exception of a few areas, I never had a problem with finding something to swing from. This has been frustrating in other SM games. Wall crawling around corners or trying to jump off a building was a little clunky, but overall it was easy to traverse the city, and it never felt like a chore.

    The graphics are top notch. Detail put into office buildings and apartments is great. Looking through a window you could even see action figures sitting on shelves. Due to the unattractive actors, I almost wish the graphics weren't so good. With the exception of hair, faces are lifelike. Some of the boss fights are stunning, but the main or co-main villain fights have too much dialogue. It causes the story to lag and lose weight. The long section that was shown at e3 was the best part of the game in my opinion, and I was sad that it was spoiled for me beforehand. All the boss fights were far too easy on normal. Perhaps doing side activities leveled me up too much, but I didn't just run around doing everything before doing the story missions either.

    With respect to the glowing reviews this game is receiving, there is a disturbing trend lately where mediocre games are called masterpieces. I love games, I love Insomniac games, and I liked this game, but if I was gonna replay one from this series, it would be Ultimate Spider-Man. Maybe my nostalgia goggles are on, but that game had a great art style, a story that was faithful to the comics, great web swinging, and Venom and Carnage. I wouldn't even say that game is a masterpiece. It's a solid 8/10.    … Expand

    Combat is frustrating. Giving it liberally takes so much from the Arkham games, you'd think they'd do a better job emulating it. A simple comparsion: while in the Arkham games, using dodge interups an enemy's attack so they don't hit you as you vault over them, whereas in Spider-Man the pitiful cartwheel out the way still leaves you within reach of the attack you're trying to avoid. I found the best approach was to smack what enemies I could into the air so they couldn't hit me, which became incredibly stale as the game progressed.

    The stealth sections are equally annoying, not least because sometimes despite executing it flawlessly, you're still forced into fighting waves of enemies at the end, making you wonder what the point was. There are also 3 "mods" you can equip at any one time that increase you proficiency at both stealth and combat, but you have to manually switch between them. A better design choice would to be able to switch between a "stealth" and "combat" load out would have been a better idea, or just simply move these three stealth mods to the skill tree and be done with it.

    I'd of been happier watching the cutscenes play out as a movie, rather than play it as a game. A shame, I was really looking forward to something special.    … Expand

    The combat is where the game really shines. You get to swing around, do crazy web moves, launch guys in there air, make use of wacky gadgets, and otherwise just go nuts on the bad guys. The combat system is a ton of fun, & I never got tired of stomping and webbing endless grunts.

    The story was pretty interesting. I am not familiar with a ton of Spiderman, so I didn't know a ton of the backstory going into it. Even so I found it to be accessible & never really got lost in what was going on despite not knowing. I found the narrative to be engaging & the characters were interesting.

    My biggest complaint about the game is about its overworld, exploration, point a to point b stuff, the in between action sequences. The web swinging is certainly a cool way to get around and I had fun with it for a while, but the game does it mostly on autopilot and it gets a bit stale.

    Then there's the open world aspect to the game, which I found to be somewhat lacking in depth & uniueness. Maybe I'm just played out on open world games in general, but I found this one to be pretty run of the mill. I think a great open world game should encourage free exploration. Instead Spiderman uses the tower system where you find a tower, press a button, and the game shows you where all the interesting stuff is. Then you go to those places instead of truly exploring. You end up playing the game on the minimap. The interesting stuff includes landmarks, collectables, fights, outposts, mini side missions. Some of these were great, some not so much, and a lot of them felt like the same stuff you get out of every open world game.    … Expand

Repetitive missions. The AI ​​of the enemies that is based in number of them and not in strategies. The AI ​​of the NPCs is painful. The game is very scripted. The "Spider-sense" makes you practically invulnerable to attacks, ambushes or persecutions, breaks the game since no one grabs you off guard. The TV series type atmosphere wants to be showing your friends talking to you over and over again communicating and forcing you to follow the thread of the narrative script, get out of it and go explore and you will break the game. Super scripted action. The story is normal throwing bad.

    - Мэри Джейн. Это просто жесть. Худшая Эм Джэй за всё время саги. И мисси за неё супертупые. Потому как стелс тут очень слабый и у врагов максимально тоннельное зрение. А местами прям доходит до асбурда - у неё нет мотивации заниматься тем, что она делает - это ещё ладно. Но когда она на каблуках быстро топает по кафелю центрального вокзала мимо врага, а он её не видит - это, конечно, швах.

    - Злодею мистера Ли не хватает проработки и мотивации. Он абсолютно пустой получился.

    - Отвратительный стелс. Когда ты подвешиваешь врага чуть выше уровня головы, а остальные враги этого не видят - это вызывает вопросики. Или когда куча бандитов охраняет заложников, а ты отвлекаешь их звоном часов, и они все из-за этого бросают заложников и уходят, отворачиваясь от всех сразу, создаётся ощущение, что NPC тут сильно умственно-отсталые.

    - Примитивные битвы с боссами, построенные на QTE и уклонениях.

    - Отсутствующие побочки. Точнее они есть, но в стиле - залатать дыру в трубе, поймать голубей, собрать анализы воздуха, уничтожить бандитов и уничтожить бандитов.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Pocas veces en mi vida había jugado algo tan repetitivo. Y sí, tengo que empezar por ahí porque eso casi arruina toda mi experiencia de juego.

    El sistema de combate se siente poco trabajado, incluso tras aprender movimientos nuevos. Se echa en falta una barra de salud para los enemigos, especialmente los Bosses a los que nos enfrentamos (aunque, los combates son tan repetitivos que nos aprendemos de memoria el número de golpes necesarios para derribar a cada enemigo).

    El columpiarse por la ciudad puede verse espectacular (claramente, los desarrolladores se centraron en brindar una jugabilidad consistente en pasearse por la ciudad la mayor parte del tiempo), pero jugablemente deja mucho que desear. Me parece que pudo haberse pulido mejor, además, el hecho de que no puedas morir ni dejándote caer desde el punto más alto de la ciudad hace que tenga poco sentido el controlar la técnica. No hay riesgos que prevenir, ni maniobras que dominar.

    La campaña se siente más bien insulsa, y el contenido “canon” se queda muy corto al compararlo con todo lo secundario. Y es que ni siquiera hablamos de misiones secundarias, estamos hablando meramente de coleccionables. No es que haya mucho que hacer, es que hay que hacer lo mismo DECENAS de veces.

    Los mini juegos en el laboratorio pueden ser divertidos, pero no dejan de ser demasiado sencillos. Recuerdan a esos clásicos minijuegos que podían encontrarse en web browsers.

    Así mismo, los coleccionables pueden entretener al principio y, a diferencia de juegos como Uncharted 4 donde no sirven para nada, es un gran acierto que le dieran valor a las “fichas” para animarnos a buscarlos, Pero pasadas un par de horas, tiene la misma desventaja que la gran mayoría de los juegos Mundo Abierto, y es que llega un punto en que es repetitivo sin importar el tipo de misión que estemos completando.
    La variedad de los trajes es buena y, aunque no aporta nada a la jugabilidad, sí que aporta un cambio placentero al juego.

    No todo es malo: el juego sí que es entretenido, sobre todo en periodos cortos, para evitar la redundancia. Además de contar con varios puntos de climax, por ejemplo...

    La última misión es "Cinematic Artistry": las tomas, la gama de colores, la música, la actuación de voz, los diálogos, las cinemáticas. El enfoque es perfecto. Respecto delas secundarias, “Famosa En Internet” es bastante buena, mas que nada por el concepto.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Los modelados en la rostros de los personajes son más bien regulares... al menos los de la mayoría, porque por alguna extraña razón, la animación facial del Doctor Octopus es buenísima. Calidad de película live action, lo raro es que sólo sea la suya...

    No obstante, aquí lo que enamora es el diseño de la ciudad: el estilo realista está bien logrado, la gama de colores usada y el trabajo de iluminación hacen que New York luzca en todo su esplendor. Y recorrerla, especialmente de noche, es un deleite

    Respecto a la narrativa y calidad de las cinemáticas, como digno first party de Sony, es increíble... siempre que no haya rostros en ellas.

    SONIDO:
    Las piezas son muy adictivas, todo el tiempo creando ese ambiente heroico/emocionante. Y esa canción tema... uff. Es tan buena que dejará de importar que suene tantas veces a lo largo del gameplay.

    Los diálogos, y el trabajo de doblaje (Harry Potter, Sasuke, etc.) son muy buenos, y se agradecen las cortas bromas o chistes que se le ocurren tanto al protagonista (incluso a media pelea), como a otros personajes secundarios. Audiovisualmente el juego está en su punto.

    Spider-Man! One of the biggest PS exclusives of 2018 and I finally completed it! Overall, I rather enjoyed the game but didn't seem to have the burning passion that most people did for the game. I'll tackle the combat first.

    Combat: This is one of the portions of the game that really shine. The combat is fast, frantic and friggin' beautiful! To compare it to the Arkham games is unfair, it's like comparing Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, two games that are in the same genre but handle it entirely different. Where Batman, wants to make you feel every individual punch you pull on an enemy, Spider-Man focuses on having you zoom around the battlefield and slam your opponent from every angle.

    Story: The game has a really enjoyable plot filled with twists, turns, and intrigue. It gets reasonably emotional towards the end and that is where it feels like the writers are at their absolute best. The only problems I had were that the overall pace and interest of the story really dipped at the halfway mark and majority of the second act felt like a slog to play through when compared to the opening and closing segments.

    Gameplay: This is where the game gets a bit mixed for me. The overall game will last about 15-20 hours for normal players (30-35 for platnium players). The game is filled with a plethora of somewhat boring collectibles, with the backpacks being great and everything else being meh. The game's side missions almost all suck with at least one downright terrible one (the streamer one) and the open world mostly feels lifeless and becomes boring to explore quickly. Thankfully, the web-slinging system is so amazing it *almost* makes up for it. There are also these segments where you get to play as other characters important to the plot and they are often boring to play through, which hurts my willingness to replay it.

    Characters: Every main character is genuinely interesting and most of them have some sort of tragedy. Mary-Jane has some slightly annoying moments but she is never unbearable. The only character I feel more mixed towards is Peter. His growth as a character and his overall story line is great and all, but his damn quipping can get so freaking annoying. This is the same problem that Insomniac's previous game, the terribly underrated Sunset Overdrive, had. The game makes too many jokes and most of them don't land for me. But, comedy is subjective I guess.

    Downloadable Content: Don't bother spending your money on it. Most of the missions are sub-par along with the suits. But, if you really need a fix for more of the plot, then you may get your money's worth.

    Overall Verdict: Game's highly enjoyable, but after obtaining the platinum, I can't find a reason for me to want to return to the game outside of playing the story sometime again in the future. The story deserves a full playthrough but the side content is only worth doing once for the trophies.

The way the city changes throughout the story is excellent though. The stealth missions can get a bit tiresome by the end but i generally enjoyed my time with the main story. The side missions are a different story. They are mostly short, uninteresting and involve similar repetitive tasks. Some try to mix things up but its clear that they simply didn't receive their fair share of developer time. As with nearly all modern open world games there is the standard radio tower climbing, endless collectables and repetitive randomised events but these are generally inoffensive.

La historia es una de las mejores del hombre araña fuera de los comics y funciona. El problema de este juego es la repetición constante de los mismos eventos secundarios sin apenas variedad, donde el combate se transforma en un machaca botones y donde el sigilo que otras sagas como Arkham han perfeccionado esta lo deja en el olvido. Hay un par de personajes demasiado odiables y que no hacen nada mas que entorpecer la trama o alargarla y que arruinan gran parte de la experiencia. Las misiones principales son lo suficientemente variadas como para aplaudir al equipo por su trabajo pero me quedo con ganas de haber jugado a un juego mucho más refinado en cuanto a las secundarias. Los DLC agregan un par de enemigos que aumentan la dificultad pero que contienen los mismos elementos de repetición hasta el hartazgo. Esperemos que el próximo juego pueda mejorar sus fallos para ser mucho mejor de lo que es, porque es un juego divertido que tiene mucha potencial, especialmente si nos fijamos en el mundo de Spider-man y todos sus personajes.… Expand

    Fun game, decent story and good voice acting but has terrible side missions. The DLC expansions are not worth the money at all they’re terrible.

    First a heads up. I never read any spider man comics and I also just watched some of the older movies. I really don't know much about the universe.

    Story.: The story wasn't that compelling to me. Don't geht me wrong, It isn't bad but for the first 2/3 parts of the game I was just swinging around without knowing what the main goal of the story actually is.

It did get better towards the end though. It's a story that gives you enough substance for you to keep going until the end but that's it.

    Graphics / Sound / Atmosphere.: The game looks great. The animation too. Sometimes I just found myself swinging through the town without doing anything as I was just amazed by the smooth animations. Can't tell much regarding the sound unfortunately. It was really unobtrusive.

    Gameplay.: You could argue that this is just a clone of arkham. But well, it doesn't need to be new to be good. It really made a lot of fun. The are so many options due to the large amount of abilities and tools in how to actually fight. The suits also had different abilities. I also didn't expect that you have the option in most cases to just sneak around enemies und knock them out with your webs. The gameplay simply put never got boring until the end to me. One negative point: The side missions can get really boring after a while. I would have actually preferred less of them that are more interesting.

    Conclusion.: All in all spider man is a really fun time from start to finish. The story was sometimes dull but the finale was still great. It's carried anyway by the fluid gameplay. It was nothing new but enjoyable enough.

    Graphics are great.
    Story writing is a bit mediocre in my opinion.
    Story progression is okay. Game-play is really fun, but gets very repetitive. I do not like the lack of enemy types.

    Love the Stan Lee cameo.
    Traversal in this game is where this title shines. I can spend hours just swinging around the city and doing flips.
    The UI is not too hard to understand.
    Love the fast travel loading screen being in the subway.    … Expand

    Spider-Man (PS4) is a very good game, traversing as Spider-man is both exhilarating and intuitive. Exploration becomes incredibly rewarding due to the nature of swinging through New York being the reward itself.

    Spiderman is a really engrossing game that paces itself well. I 100% the game within about two weeks and the whole time I didn't feel like I was grinding away at collectibles.

    However, my biggest gripe with the game is usability. To perfectly dodge, you have to time your dodge with when Spidey's aura around his head turns blue. However, late game and into the DLC the difficulty is ramped up by throwing more and more enemies at you in many waves. But, it also becomes more and more visually chaotic, making it almost impossible to see that blue glow amongst the plethora of rockets, explosions, lasers, electrified ground, etc. meanwhile you're coordinating your own attacks on a room full of enemies. Deaths at this point in the game feel cheap. I got frustrated to the point of deleting the game halfway through the second DLC and watched the rest of the story on YouTube.    … Expand

    An otherwise great game held back by playing as any character othee than Spider-Man (Mary Jane, Miles Morales). Also strange that this game decided to make Mary Jane feel less like Mary Jane and more like Lois Lane.

    This is definitely one of the best spider-man game.Its pacing of the story is pretty good and overall a compelling one. But the combat gets stale sometimes still the level design is awesome in some missions.

    There are myriad good reasons why Marvel's Spider-Man is the best-selling and highest-rated Spider-Man title in years. While it has a few glaring flaws, they pale in comparison to all of the things the team at Insomniac got right. A well-acted, strong story serves as the backbone for an experience that just plain feels right for Spider-Man, and fans and newcomers alike won't be disappointed by this trip to the Spider-verse.

    This game does for Spider-Man what the Arkham series did for Batman. Immensely satisfying movement system, excellent combat, fast pace, superb visuals and wealth of side activities converge to bring a wonderful experienced, diluted only by some minor missteps in the story and a couple of stealth sequences where you control supporting characters instead of Spidey.
