    Surpreendente, o jogo te dá a sensação de realismo ao extremo, é impressionante como a cidade é viva, os NPCs estão sempre fazendo alguma coisa, jogabilidade está prefeita, os movimentos do aranha ao balançar com a teia estão muito fiéis aos quadrinhos, parabéns Insomniac Games.

This is as close as you can get to feeling like the Amazing Spiderman. There's a true sense of speed and momentum you get while swinging through the streets of New York. It's only amplified by the fantastic musical score that starts as soon as you leap into the air and begin slinging webs. This personally, is my favorite aspect of the game. Every animation is graceful and fluid, and it can become a very fun skill to master.

    The combat is equally impactful and gratifying. Spidey can leap, and dodge very similar to the Arkham Knight series. But nothing feels outplayed or repetitive. The combat can be very challenging also. Jumping in the fray with 10+ enemies can prove to be very risky, and takes a keen reaction to your Spider-Senses to stay alive. Spidey can only take limited hits, and isn't a huge punching bag like Bruce Wayne can be. This satisfying difficulty is managed by the amount of gadgets you have at your disposal. The gadgets include everything from regular webs, to automated combat assisted spider drones. It all fits very well to the universe, and everything has a sense of believability to it.

    I haven't completed the main story yet, as there's no limit to the fun you can have when just running around New York, collecting backpacks, saving civilians, and fighting petty crime. But through the amount of story I've experience, everything seems top notch. The voice acting is great, with maybe a few line "hic-ups" here and there, but nothing that will ever make you cringe. You feel a real sense of connection to Peter Parker and his life situations, as Pete is always portrayed as a simple guy trying to make ends meet. He suffers with relationships problems, the same as modern day people would, through texts and social media for example. Every character is unique, and leaves you wanting to find out more to their own personal story.

    I couldn't have dreamed of a better Spider-Man gaming experience. Insomniac poured every ounce of love and respect into one of the most beloved super heroes of all time. If you're a gamer, comic, Marvel, and especially a Spider-Man fan, you owe it to yourself to buy this game. You will not be disappointed.

    This is an awesome game and is most likely the best super hero games. This game has awesome web swinging and awesome combat and also provides a bit of a challenge! The story is very awesome and the game itself never bores you!! The city feels alive and there are quite a few side quests to do and they are fun too.. I would definitely recommend you to play this game!

    This game is near perfect. The story was really well done and has a great ending. The combat and swinging mechanics are the best out of any Spider-Man game yet. There are 28 different suits to pick, tons of Easter eggs, great Villains, a leveling system and skill trees. This game really has it all. If you are a Spider-Man fan the wait is finally over. This is the best Spidey game ever.

    A strong debut from Insomniac that manages to capture the essence of the web slinger that we have all come to know and love. The story is superbly written with top notch performances especially from Peter Parker himself, the combat is varied if repetitive at times and the amount of nods and Easter eggs to past Spider Man iterations will have every fan busy for a long time to come.

Folks, we got both! No joke, everything is great here, the city is huge, its a playground, so many easter eggs and none of the designs are bad like a lot of movie and game adaptations. It's a bummer that it was an exclusive, but a good argument for single player games being huge still considering people went out and bought a ps4 pro for this game alone. Insomniac really just nailed Peter Parker and his world, hurting Peter and him still being able to rise above and still be a good man. Part of the tale is taken almost directly from Dan Slott's work from over ten years ago and Insomniac has added their own wonderful touches. Guys, it's an auto buy, yeah, It's still Spider-Man and there is only so much you can do mechanically, but they polish the hell out of everything we've ever done and did it better.… Expand

Combat is really well done as well as the gadgets you unlock using the tokens you collect from completing different side quests and tasks. Speaking of sidequests it really felt like this part of this game they didn't really try to make it good. They use pretty generic quests with not very rememberable NPCs for the most part. It seemed like a real missed opportunity to add b and c list characters from spidey comics to make cool sidequests. Also the game seems to suffer from the usual repetitive open world collectibles like getting all the packpakes and hacking the police antennas to unlock pieces of your map to become visible. Still a very enjoyable game that I'm happy to have bought day 1.… Expand

    This is definitely the best spider-man game, the best super hero game, one of the best games I have ever played.

    First, the story is one of the most immersive and original aspect of this game, a well thought masterpiece and one of my favorites, way better than all of the spider-man movies out yet.

    Game-play, man, after this game, I realized I've never properly swung across New York properly, with the physics and well crafted animations you really feel like spider-man, you almost feel the wind touching your skin. You feel New York. Peter Parker as a character was awesome. Playing with him usually contains some puzzles but that's no problem, i heard MJ parts was boring but I disagree, I think stealth sessions was a good way to balance the tempo. By the way I loved the Insomniacs take on both of these characters. MJ makes great as a Journalist and personally better than being an actress. This improves her relation with Spidey greatly.

    Combat, aside from amazing traversal, combat is also amazing, an important part is it allows you to make strategic decision, you can take enemies out with multiple ways with those large amount of gadgets and of course your trusted web shooters, hands and legs too... the amount of combinations you can do is limitless, and the combos too. The finishers in the game really makes the fight alot interesting, there is large amount of finisher animations in the game and it is amazing I would say the feeling of hits isn't that great but when you pull these amazing combos and finishers you don't desperately need it, your eyes just lock to the screen. From the last sentence you might think that the combat is easy, it's definitely not the case. Don't think I'm spider-man these punks can't to anything to me. These guys really push you, they don't wait until you beat the other guys then strike, they just fight you with all they got. You may find yourself trying to escape a never ending sequence of gun shooting, rockets and more. And you will deal with it with your abilities and things i listed above.

    Side Activities and Collectibles, there is plenty of them. I can say they are original and creative but one negative thing i'm going to say because they are plenty, if you try to finish all of these before finishing the game, it can drive you away from the story a little.

    A thing I'm a little disappointed about is boss fights, they are fun and all but they all have a pattern and when you know what to do, the rest is doing the same thing again and again until you beat them.

    There are certainly alot left to say but my hands are slowly getting tired =) After all it was definitely worth the hype and overall a great game, an awesome game, an amazing game, a spectacular game, best super hero game yet. I know i may praised the game too much but these are my honest opinions and Im a huge spider-man fan. Always Be Greater.    … Expand

    Pros: - EVERYTHING. Like, it's really hard to break down the pros because there's so many. Swinging is fluid, it just feels beautiful. Whether you're climbing the Avengers tower, or swinging to Daredevil's lawyer office, it's perfect. The fighting is again, amazing. So    I'm again, a little late to the reviewing party.

    Cons:
    - I have one. The side stuff can become tedious and repetitive, there's a lot of "go and find 12 of these things around the city". It kinda negates as you do them as you have crimes to stop, so you literally do those as you go, and it breaks it up more for you.

    Summary:
    - If you already haven't, go and buy this game right now. The story is incredible. Absolutely incredible. I got about 45 hours into platinum I think, and I really did enjoy every minute of it.

I honestly wanted more attention on Peter and his story. I feel like the only reason they put Miles in the game was for diversity.

    A day/night cycle would have been great too.The game also needs to have random events that happen throughout the game. They have them at the start of the game but once you complete a certain number in each district they stop. I think they should have kept those events in the game. Maybe even give the player the ability to turn them on and off. They already had a pretty good number of events, if they added rescuing people from burning buildings, bank robberies, and some other rescue events this would be a game I'd never want to put down. All things considered Insomniac made a spectacular Spider-Man game. This is a Spider-Man game made by fans for fans.    … Expand

    Yes, it doesn't bring anything new to the table as an open-world game. But that's no reason to give it a score of 0... or 1 or 2 or 3 or anything negative. Or if you're an XBOX or PC gamer, again, don't ruin the score of a good game. I had to give it a 10 to balance these idiots. otherwise, I'd give it a 8-9.

    Amazing. The detail in the city is crazy and traversing via web slinging is incredibly fun and smooth. The combat takes a bit to figure out and even some of the street crimes can be a challenge until you learn the rhythm of how to fight individual enemy types. But it's really satisfying once you do. My only ask is that they make it for VR ... that would be sensational.

    Spider-Man has always been a huge influence in my life. One of them was he was the first superhero to get myself into gaming. I was 5 and the first 3-D Spider-Man game came out on the playstation. I remember the awesome times that I had playing that game like having no memory cards so that I'd have to leave the playstation on. Having the different outfits of Spider-Man peaked my interestSpider-Man has always been a huge influence in my life. One of them was he was the first superhero to get myself into gaming. I was 5 and the first 3-D Spider-Man game came out on the playstation. I remember the awesome times that I had playing that game like having no memory cards so that I'd have to leave the playstation on. Having the different outfits of Spider-Man peaked my interest as I kept playing. Using cheat codes like no other because I can. My love for gaming came from that, so as the years go by, I tried finding a Spider-Man game that could give me that feeling once again. Only 2 games from the last decade I could recall giving me that FEELING of Spider-Man. Spider-Man 2 on PS2 and Spider-Man Web of Shadows on PS3. Every other game felt so shallow in comparison because either they have one feature removed or it was washed down and broken. I'm a pretty optimistic kind of guy. I love Spider-Man so when I saw the announcement trailer for this game I was so excited. it looked like the Spider-Man game I always wanted. 3 years later, the game is finally here and people are wondering if its a overhyped Playstation exclusive or does it actually reinvent the whole superhero genre?

    Story - The game is set 8 years in after Peter Parker became Spider-Man so no origin story, no uncle ben's death scene, no he/she expose my identity situation. It's all done and dealt with so what we get is a more characterized Peter Parker/Spider-Man. He's a college graduate, working as a scientist, his relationship with MJ is complex and questionable, he sucks at paying his rent on time, etc. My whole journey with Peter felt nice and refreshing as we don't really get this type of characterization for him. You FEEL for him going through these troubled times because people can relate to some of them. He's not just a Superhero, he's also one of us. That is why I think this adventure was amazing. Everyone felt fully utilize. You can feel or sense their intentions just by looking at them. Everyone actually has different motives and dreams to conquer. You have to play the story for yourself to really experience it.

    Graphics - My god this game looks fantastic. There wasn't a day when we thought Spider-Man would get this type of treatment. There is so much detail in this game that I was at awe most of the time. The details on every suit, the pores and facial expressions, the details of the world, and character models. Everything felt super smooth as I was playing through the game. Only 3 times the game started to dip in frame rate because a lot of stuff was happening at that moment. Most of the time, I was just surprised how well the game ran. The only SuperHero games I played that looked as good as this was Batman Arkham Knight and Infamous Second Son.

    Gameplay - It has been awhile since I played a game that made me FEEL like I was Spider-Man. That's the whole point of this game though. It makes you FEEL like Spider-Man. Memes comments side, the game actually plays really amazing. You have so much control on Spider-Man that nothing feels complicated or overbearing. You get just enough things to do and depending on the situation, it's what you do that affects the outcome of the battle. People believe that you can just mash the attack button over and over again without thought but there is actually strategy in this. At the start, of course that's mostly what you do but then it starts to add in a few small things at a time. So here are the basics. Square attacks, Triangle Web-Strikes, Circle is to dodge, R1 is to shoot out web contraptions, and L1 is to change those web contraptions. You get different enemy types with different variations on them. A few of them have different ways to be dealt with. As you progress through the game, you'll be able to craft things like Suits, Mods, and New Gadgets. The suits gives you different mods that can help turn the tide during combat moments and what's cool is that the suit mod isn't restricted to just one. The player can mix/match what they want to wear and want to use. New gadgets actually have use for them except maybe one. You also get a couple mini-games that have circuit power through to another circuit or match up biomaterials to compose new things.They are fun and don't break up the gameplay. The main thing though about a Spider-Man game though is Swinging. I am happy to say that swinging in this game is freaking awesome. The feeling and weight behind every jump, every web shot, every swing just feels great. I can't describe how good it feels as you need to play it yourself to understand how good this swinging is. I remember just a few nights ago that for an hour all I did was swing back and forth. The only problems I had with the gameplay was sometimes the Dodge mechanic can be super finicky as it doesn't respond right away causing some annoying deaths

    Overall - Marvel Spider-Man is amazing. If you have a PS4, this is the game that should be included in your library    … Expand

    While there are certainly areas of the game that could be improved, it does almost everything quite well. It is a very well rounded experience with fun immersive combat, a great story, and top notch visual and sound design.

    The gameplay is mostly excellent; movement through the city is fast, fun and feels natural. Spider-man responds and interacts with the environment in a fairly believable way running and jumping off of walls is fluid and responsive. The downside of traversal is that there are some areas that Spider-man gets stuck or can’t climb around corners on walls and it feels unnatural and jarring. Combat is very fun and fast paced, there are lots of ways to interact with enemies and make use the environment. The downside is that combat doesn’t really evolve as much as in other action adventure games. While you do unlock new abilities very few of them offer major changes to how you fight. There are a reasonable number of enemy types and the level of challenge is rewarding but combat does get repetitive. The boss battles are all pretty good but few stand out as exceptional. The puzzle sections of the game are fun at first but they do get repetitive by the end. Some stealth sections are a bit of chore. The menus are good and easy to navigate; my only complaint about the menu is that the text is too small in some areas. Overall there is nothing terribly bad about the gameplay it is consistently solid but there are some weak areas that it could be improved.

    The story is one of the best in a superhero game. I would say that it is a better story than the movies offer. The plot unfolds at a good pace and there are new elements introduced regularly to keep things interesting. It is well balanced with a mix of drama, action and humor, all complimenting each other and rarely feeling forced. It does a good job of filling in background information about the plot through phone conversations and Jameson’s radio show. These take place while traversing the city and are never really intrusive. There are a few moments in the story that are poorly explained and while there are some good twists few of them were amazing or deep. I was rarely surprised but most of the big moments were still satisfying. The conclusion didn’t disappoint and still a lot of ideas open to be explored in sequels.

    There have been countless games set in cities and many set in New York but this is one of the best versions of the city I have seen. It totally captures the feeling of being Spider-man. Many iconic New York landmarks are present but there are also many fictional buildings as well. While most of the game is set outside there are some really great interior locations. Most of the locations are crafted with care and attention to detail. Every section of the city has good number of activities and story events to experience. My only complaint about the world is that there is a lot of repetition, many hideouts all look the same. Interactivity is good but environments in other games offer more destructibility and interaction.

    There is a large cast of characters and nearly all of them are well written and developed. Peter goes through a great arc and feels authentic. I liked this version of the character better than any of the movie versions. MJ also has a good story and feels like a real person with her own motives. The villains are a bit of a mixed bag, some of them are pretty flat with minimal development. I found the back stories of the villains could have been more fleshed out but each of them has their own motives and none are as simple as doing evil for evil’s sake. The side characters are fleshed out well enough to make them believable. Every character adds something to the story.

    The game looks almost as good as a movie, the characters, environments, colors, lighting and designs all seem authentic to the Spider-man universe. Like most open world games, there is a bit too much visual repetition and there are some areas of the game that look a bit generic but it does far better than most and almost nothing in the game looks bad.

    Great voice acting, great sound effects and a sound track that feels true to the Spider-man experience. My one complaint about the sound is the music is a bit generic, there aren’t many memorable tracks or moments were the music is moving. With that said the music never gets in the way either, it always seemed to compliment what was happening.

    This is definitely one the longest Spider-man games and it offers a good blend of main story and side content. The story is around 15 hours with the side content offering another 10+ hours. A lot of the side content is repetitive but there is quite often some small story aspect attached to it. Phone conversations with side characters make generic quests a bit more interesting.

    I would like to share why I gave 10 for Spider-Man even if it is not perfect.

    I remember playing the previous Spider-Man title back in the day on ps2 somewhere more than 10 years ago and I remember I enjoyed that too. (just a quick introduction that I have played every type of games over 25 years so I have some experience) Firstly the optimization: most of us don’t even think    I would like to share why I gave 10 for Spider-Man even if it is not perfect.

    (just a quick introduction that I have played every type of games over 25 years so I have some experience)

    Firstly the optimization: most of us don’t even think about this but comparing Spider-Man to other games by checking how well the game runs I think it’s a very important aspect. I was actually surprised how fluent and smooth everything in the game. I did even try to make it drop the frame rate by swinging too far or just trying to do too many things at the same time like combat, travel around, fast travel, upgrading, changing costume etc. No visible problems at all.

    Second: no patches/updates and no need to depend on any network condition. This may seem obvious but yet again other games require frequent updates and network connectivity which can interrupt easily the gameplay.

    I have to say that this game is almost perfect. Having said that those bits of little problems I noticed could be only just personal preferences. For example I may dislike the difficulty options (in my case playing on hard seems to be like playing on normal) others may like the fact that the game is a bit easy in my opinion. They could have add an additional hard difficulty like Nightmare or Hard-core or something.
    However the Challenges will compensate for this once I go for all for this high scores.

    The graphics and the details are just excellent. Even on a standard PS4 and without 4K HDR options.
    If you reading this and hesitating to get it then I am here to say that Spider-Man worth every penny and paying full price is something I will never regret.

    For PS4 owners this is a must buy and pretty much a well-made masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvel’s Spider-Man is a game that lives up to the hype, and for a game based on the Amazing Spiderman series this game is genuinely that… amazing.

    This is what I hoped for when looking at The Amazing Spider-Man released in 2014 but it’s safe to say that game is far from good, and in a way with that game being so bad it has made Marvel’s Spider-Man look that much more spectacular. This is the superior Spider-Man experience.

    First of all, this game looks stunning, considering you’re usually moving at high speeds across the city and it manages to maintain a solid framerate even when slowing down at a moment’s notice there isn’t that much in concerns of pop in and it just never ceases to amaze me at the pure beauty of this game.

    Next let’s talk about the most crucial element, the web slinging. It’s is better than we could’ve hoped, personally I feel it is better than Spider-Man 2s and any other game featuring the web head. It’s fluid, with it being intertwined with the free running the moment you hit and surface you’ll smoothly transition into a wall run or even some parkour. And with point launches it’s easy to maintain your momentum when traveling above buildings where you can no longer attach your webs because yes, they actually have to attach to objects.

    Next let’s talk some nice details: The costumes, there are plenty of different suits that we can use throughout the game personally I would’ve liked more with a range of them being very similar for example the Spider-Undies & ESU Suit are entertaining at first but they get boring fast especially the ESU suit and with it being the reward for all the secret photo ops I was slightly disappointed. The photo mode is super easy to use and you can take some truly remarkable photos with it, I at various points would just go and take a selfie like mid-boss fight and they were some of my highlights just making the silliest possible photos. And the very best part, the iconic pizza theme from the Spider-Man 2 game is also in this game some real love has gone into this game.

    I want to touch on the story and wow is it amazing, it feels like more than a simple Spider-Man story, it has characters we care about, it has moments where you’re praying for one thing to happen only to get heartbroken when the inevitable happens. Recently I’ve started to just ignore some stories and have a video or music playing in the background while I play games but with this game I had to focus on the game and so I didn’t resort to anything else because I was just that engrossed and didn’t feel I needed any additional methods of entertainment to enhance my experience the game and its narrative was simply enough.

    Here’s where we enter spoiler territory, as I want to discuss parts of the story, that being the inevitable transformation of Doc Ock, we get to see Otto’s motivations and we truly feel for him, we see how he is at his heart a good man with him leaving Oscorp when the experiments started to become harmful, and with him making prosthetics for those who need help. And when we find out about his condition it feels like a punch to the gut because we care about him and hearing that he’s losing many of his bodily functions we start to understand his motivations for making the four arms but by that point we all know that it is too late because it’s a Spider-Man game and well Doc Ock isn’t known for his heroic acts. He and his arc are genuinely one of my favourites from any game alongside Lee & Clementine from the first Walking Dead game.

    Also to emphasise how good this game is I 100% the game and got every trophy in literally 3 days, and I rarely do one of those things let alone both.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the disaster that was the movie based "Amazing Spider-man" games most thought the iconic hero was better left alone, seeing that no recent games have come close to capturing the experience 2004's "Spider-man 2". However, one developer decided to have a go at it. Under the microscope of gamers and faithful Spider-man fans alike, Insomniac not only capture the magic of 2004 but using today's technology made it even better! This game has obviously been made with time and passion in a time when games are usually made for commercial gain and not the craft.

    GRAPHICS: I bought the digital copy of Spider-man on the PS4 Slim (PS4 exclusive unfortunately). When i first loaded in the game, I noticed rendering issues with some textures, mainly on buildings. I'm not sure if it was my PS4 being slow or a download issue but the problem seemed to work itself out within an hour. Other than that, the graphics were really good overall. Not quite up to par with what was shown in the first gameplay video Insomniac put out but still very beautiful lighting effects and textures.

    COMBAT: As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the "Batman: Arkham" combat system, Spider-man's combat system wasn't anything new to me. Though many people think that this game ripped off the combat from the "Arkham" games, 2004's Spider-man game had an even more similar system to the new Spider-man. I recommend playing on the hardest difficulty as to adequately challenge yourself.
    Overall, the combat flows really well, using combos, gadgets, and throws to take down enemies. Still can be improved by updates.

    TRAVERSAL: We all know web-swinging is whats truly important for most Spider-man fans and the physics are hard to get right. 2004's Spider-man had previously been the reigning swinging champion up to this point. However, with Insomniac's traversal experience with one of their previous titles, "Sunset Overdrive", and today's technology, their Spider-man game rightfully takes the prize in web-swinging. I go hours just swinging around New York (which is huge just FYI) and not get bored, doing flips, dives, and tricks. The game has fast travel via subway but i never used it because swinging is much more fun.

    CUSTOMIZATION: Spider-man is a great character with many comic storylines and SUITS. Insomniac spoils us with over 25 suits to be unlocked through XP or collectables, all coming with their own special suit abilities. Suits that you have equipped are also shown in cutscenes which is really nice. You also unlock skills and gadgets via different tokens obtained through side missions and activities. You will eventually get all abilities so don't be afraid to spend skill points.

    STORY/MISSIONS: Insomniac's take on our hero skips the overplayed origin story and starts 8 years after Peter Parker has been Spider-man. This is really refreshing to have a game that assumes you know the "old news" stuff and puts you in a whole new story. The build up is kind of slow and the middle of the game is a entertaining and delightful mystery type sequence with great focus and mission variation. The third act, while epic and fun, throws a lot at you with not much game left. It feels like Insomniac almost forgot to put villains in the story and crammed all in to the third act. Boss battles are somewhat repetitive and don't have much innovation. The side missions are also repetitive and don't really offer good stories. There are many collectables and bases to gather and complete and it never feels like you have nothing to do. In conclusion, Spider-man has a well-written captivating story that feels like authentic Spider-man and makes you care with real stakes and emotion shown through impressive facial animations but does have a few issues that are annoying yet forgivable.

    In my opinion, Spider-man is a must cop. Go out and buy it. Its a fun experience that no one should pass up and I wont forget my experience any time soon. Though not extremely innovational, it never leaves you bored and is done well and right.    … Expand

    Siendo siempre lo más importante en cualquier título, Spiderman nos ofrece un muy buen GamePlay, poniéndonos en la piel del arácnido de una forma majestuosa, el colgarse por los edificios de Nueva York es toda una aventura, con una mecánica muy estable y realista. Las batallas contra los enemigos también hacen uso de las habilidades de Spiderman. Sin embargo para que todo esto funcione se debe de un proceso de aprendizaje continuo y puede molestar a algunos ya que recordar todos los combos puede causarte la muerte en varias misiones.
    Gráficos.
    Muy a pesar de todos los comentarios haters de que sufrió un Downgrade, nada más alejado de la realidad. El título se ve tan bien o incluso mejor de lo mostrado la primera vez en aquellos pasados E3's. Y en general el título es un deleite visual. En PS4 Pro como es costumbre se ve más fluido que en la versión en PS4 Base.
    Historia.
    En este apartado el juego se luce aún más, metiéndonos de lleno a los zapatos no solo de Spiderman, si no también en su alter ego Peter Parker e incluso en los pies de Mary Jane. Una historia que te mantendrá interesado de principio a fin.
    Otros.
    En mi experiencia, afortunadamente no me topé con ningún tipo de Bugs, ni otros problemas durante el juego. Las misiones secundarias al igual que en muchos títulos de mundo abierto, después de repetirlas muchas veces pueden llegar a ser aburridas.
    La transición del día a la noche no es sutil como en otros juegos de mundo abierto y esta se basa principalmente en el punto que vayamos en la historia del título o la misión que estemos realizando y hay un buen motivo para que se así, igual como siempre es de noche en los juegos de Batman.
    Conclusión:
    Spiderman es un gran título que nos hace sentir de verdad ser el hombre araña, pasear por Nueva York y detener el crimen nunca había sido tan satisfactorio como en este título de Marvel Spiderman.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game caused me to create a metacritic, just so I could talk about how great it is. Let me start out by saying: all other games and movies now seem to be mere imitations. In this game, it feels like you are really, truly playing as the one and only Spider-Man. I desperately want more. It's an experience, where after I was done, it was still fun to swing around, solve crimes and beat challenges. Minor spoilers follow.

    Story: I liked the story in Web of Shadows - they really rode the dark undertones well. But it doesn't cut close to the emotional, humorous and gripping story of Marvel's Spider-Man. With a cast of interesting and well-written characters supporting it, no moment is ever boring. I was very impressed with the heavy investment in "the feels" and I can only say to Insomniac: it is great and you can take it even further. I'm ready for the upcoming new game plus, so I can enjoy it all over again.

    Combat: hit the nail! It remains challenging and fun throughout the entire game. While clearly inspired by, they've abandonded the counter-mechanics of the Arkham Series's combat, in favor of rapid movement and dodging. You have a plethora of options to choose from, where as the decision on your best move has to be made in the span of half a second, thus making Spidey bounce around and doing the coolest stunts in a most spectaclar fashion. It feels and looks both smooth and powerful.

    Super battles: there are several villains in this game, one of the earlier ones being Shocker. The chase sequence with him, is probably the only chase in any game, I've ever really enjoyed. It was really fantastic, and it leaves a lot of room for choice of traversal. And then they made the interesting choice of pairing the super villains up late game, which worked insanely well. I wish they'd have moved away from the tradition of endlessly repeated patterns, but having two baddies at the same time, sure upped the game tremendously.

    Traversal: swinging is the best ever, no doubt. They've created a system, where nothing stops you - you can just keep going. It's something that you really have to practice to be good at, but when you do... Wow!

    Side activities:
    All fun! I only wished they'd maybe include more side quests related to smaller villains, like they did with Tombstone. Hammer Head, Hydroman, Jack O Lantern, Hitman, Silvermane... The Rose, maybe. That would've been really fun, but of course only if they made them interesting characters too, not just for the sake of including them.

    Now I cna only wait for the DLC and hopefully in the future: the next game :D Huge success and congratulations on making the most perfect Spider-Man experience ever, Insomniac.    … Expand

    The villains are iconic and fun to go against, but I feel like they are missing some more famous villains here. Where's Green Goblin? Sandman? Symbiote/Venom? or even Kraven? Here's hoping we'll see them in future (free) content.

    The one thing I kinda didn't like was the stealth sections as non-spiderman characters. Yeah, they are fun, but I have seen them hundreds of times in other games. Oh well, at least they are essential story bits.

    I've just finished the main story and most of the side-missions, so I think I'm in a good position to review it.

    First of all, graphics. There was some controversy that the graphics may have been downgraded but I do not see any evidence of this from playing the game. My only qualm is the framerate isn't 60fps but the graphics are still amazing and I was really impressed that all of the suits looked so good and appeared in the cutscenes.

    The meat of the game is the gameplay. The webswinging is amazing and something that we all anticipated with bated breath. I was worried they'd screw it up yet again but this is by far the best webswinging experience ever, including being better than the fabled Spider-Man 2 on the PS2. This game really blows that one away in every aspect, especially gameplay. I found the webswinging easy to pick up and fun to master, providing plenty of versatility and options for traversing the city. Combat and web-based gadgets are also quite engaging, varied and fun. One qualm I do however have is with the special power that each suit has. It's great that you can customise suits, but I found that the Web Blossom technique outshadowed most other special powers by miles, making a lot of them redundant.

    I was a tad disappointed at the suits we can unlock. There are quite a few but most of them I am unfamiliar with and I think most players would be expecting to see the Symbiote suit in there, but it's not and a couple of the suits do look similar to it but it's one absence I did note.

    The story is the strangest part of the game, and not necessarily in a bad way. The game is much slower paced for the first 60% or so and then rapidly intensifies towards the end. For the first half of the game you aren't really met with many super-villians but they become far more frequent in the latter half, with Spider-Man sometimes taking on two at a time. Again this is not a bad thing as most of the villains will be familiar to even casual players, making their attacks predictable, but with two villains simultaneously this makes the encounters feel fresh and challenging. The only downside is some villains do not get as much exposure as they deserve, and one villain in particular gets a bit too much exposure whom I had not even heard of before this game.

    To sum it up, I bought the game for £45 on release day from HMV and it was well-worth the purchase in a year that has been a mixed bag of games. As the price goes down I'd definitely recommend it to even casual players as you don't need to know much about Spider-Man to get to grips with the game.    … Expand

The game is incredibly satisfying and still fun to play after 30+ hours of main campaign and the side missions - the reviewers didn't exaggerate when they said that simply swinging on webs from point A to B is truly joyful. The Arkham-inspired but tweaked combat system is less fluid than Batman's, but more agile with a lot of emphasis on mid-air fighting, and ultimately, very enjoyable.
    As for the protagonist, this is probably his best portrayal in recent media, the movies don't even come close. He's charismatic, rapid-fires quips, balances heroics and regular life, and is more mature than a schoolboy.

    That said, there are some minor annoyances in both story and gameplay. In gameplay, some side missions are just lackluster, like the copy-pasted crimes (several dozen of them!) and the research stations. I mean, come on, one minute you're saving the city and then you're tasked to feed the fish or catch pigeons. Insomniac should've followed Arkham more closely and made most (if not all) side quests connected to some side villain, like the Tombstone and Taskmaster missions.
    As for story, I didn't like this Mary Jane at all, who is some sort of an angry feminist who still gets herself in danger as usual, but upon being saved dares to complain about it. Neither did I like Morales, who is exactly the same character as Parker, only black and without any charisma whatsoever. Yeah, but he's so cool he can knock out a grown man with one punch with no prior training. I sincerely hope the most he'll become in the sequel is a sidekick. There were some cliche moments with villains, too, but I won't get too spoiler-y here.

    Still, overall Spider-Man deserves the surrounding hype and I'm personally looking forward to its DLC.    … Expand

    “You don’t need a suit to be a hero”

    Introduction: Acclaimed studio, Insomniac Games, known for classics like Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank, and Resistance, throws there hat in the ring for their first licensed video game based on the beloved Marvel character Spider-Man. Will this game be as bad as the Activision games of the past or will Insomniac’s record help Spider-Man have an amazing game?

    Story: We start the game with a college-age Peter Parker, trying to balance pay rent on time, having a job as a scientist and being Spider-Man. In most other media, Peter Parker is just a normal kid just trying to get through high school. Seeing this older Peter Parker makes for a more engaging story as you see Peter go through more serious situation in his normal life. As for Peter being Spider-Man, it just feels like your standard Marvel movie plot. It’s a good story with a few twists and some interesting character developments, just don’t expect it to be a complete overhaul of a new story just because Peter is a bit older.

    Gameplay: The gameplay is what makes this game really shine. Traversing through the city is so much fun. Insomniac web swing mechanic is amazing and is the best we have ever seen in a Spider-Man game. Combat is just as good with the fluid way Spider-Man moves around the screen and how every move you pull off feels nice, satisfying and interconnected. There are many ways to take down your foes with the variety of gadgets and moves you will unlock throughout the game. All this would make the game near flawless if it was not for the fact that the enemies do get repetitive near the last 3rd when the variety of enemies becomes nonexistent. This is alleviated a bit with stealth sections that allow you to play as some other characters within the universe. (But I won’t spoil it here ;)) Side mission can be fun and plentiful but some also have the problem of becoming very repetitive. Boss fights are also underwhelming since all you need to do to beat the bosses is stun them and punch. The fights look flashy but the cool looking set pieces don’t make up for the lackluster fights. This could have been fixed if your arsenal of gadgets were useful during these fights. Even with these faults, it is still the most engaging Spider-Man game yet.

    Technical: The visuals are stunning even on a regular PS4. Photorealistic looking people with amazing motion capture. Cutscenes, the open world, fighting enemies all looks superb. Music is pretty good but nothing too special. Sounds similar the generic music from an MCU film. The game has minor glitches like enemies getting stuck in areas, requiring me to restart the checkpoint. Technics are super polished but some minor gameplay bugs needed to be ironed out

    Verdict: Despite its fault, Marvel’s Spider-Man is an amazing experience. An incredibly polished open world game with the best Spider-Man mechanic to date. A fun story through a different take on Peter Parker life. Amazing performances and motion capture that suit the ultra-real looking graphics. If you have a PS4, it is a must-have game. I just hope that Insomniac Games will make a squeal to this game so they can fix there few flaws and make a masterful game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most fun I've had playing a game in months. I personally love looking for collectibles and having the option to do things other than the main story and this game had a lot options. Swinging through the city makes you feel as though you're really Spider-man. Couple of things that made it a 9 and not a 10 were some of the missions with miles in particular, MJ's missions IMO added to the story where some of the Miles missions could have been left out. But, I'm sure they were just setting him up for DLC or the next game.… Expand

    One of the best Spider-man games in history and a victory for the future of the singleplayer AAA games.

    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.
