    a very solid game with some issues. I enjoy it a lot and I got the platinum trophy. Bad sides: the day night system is kind of annoying. Gameplay is not as smooth as god of war. Combat feels repetitive after you 100% the game. Good sides: Boss fights are amazing. I wish it had a boss fight mood. Amazing graphics especially on pro. Overall it's a solid 8.5.

    Marvels Spider-Man ps4 is truly one of the best Spiderman games ever made. The story is probably one of the best spiderman stories ever written. The combat is fun perform and there's so many mix ups you can do with the gadgets. The voice acting is top notch and you can hear the emotion that they give to the characters. This is a must play game!

    Fantastic game. A few flaws here and there and one game-interrupting glitch, but performs very, very well aside.

    The only reason I don’t give this 10 is that some of the cutscenes are SO FORCEFUL and over-the-top with the emotion they’re hard to watch.

However, Spider-Man fails to have an identity in it's combat, which is something you'll be doing a lot, even more so if you are clearing out all it's missions. If you've played the Arkham games like many have, you will notice little difference in combat between them and Spider-Man and while that's not a horrible thing because the combat is great, it does feel like Insomniac chose to take a shortcut in that regard. Still, the visuals, the art style, the story, the events you play through as other characters, and the amount of Spider-Man villains is perfect.

    Spider-Man games and movies in the past have struggled with balancing out how many of the Wall-crawler's rouge's gallery should appear, and how large their roles should be, but Marvel's Spider-Man has no such issue. Swinging around in the game is fun and Yuri Lowenthal's past experience playing Spider-Man in really paid off here as this is the most believable portrayal of the character since the 90's cartoon so many people who are playing this game grew up with. I can't say the game is perfect, but it is the best game on PS4 this year. Possibly.    … Expand

The traversal in this game is an easy 10/10, never got bored of it even around 30 hours when I officially beat the campaign. The story itself is actually pretty good, a little superhero trope, but it's the characters (friend or foe) that takes up the story 5x. The combat itself revolves around a dodge mechanic and a beat em up, and it is fluid and fun. Although it isn't really challenging/ and can get stale, i enjoyed it. The side missions are very ubisoft-esque but with a spiderman twist to it, and I actually enjoyed most of it because of spiderman's mechanics. There is a lot of side content and collectibles, and Insomniac games did a good job adding unique "side activities" that requires different play styles (research stations, challenges, crimes, etc). And although every side activity in this game are all initially fun, I can see some getting bored of it quick. Even If you don't do any side activities, this game is still a buy just for the campaign, trust me.. memorable characters, interesting story and a lot and alot of action. The only true full con I can think of this game is the lame skill tree, with unlocks from one section directly contradicting an unlock in another move.. an example would be you can unlock an ability that can yank a shield away, but there's also an ability that you can knock shielded enemies down.. To end, an amazing superhero game that is just fun all around.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I rarely walk away from a game shell-shocked, but Insomniac's Spiderman left me truly moved. As of this posting, only God Of War could have been considered my personal GOY title, but no longer.

    There are a few primer points I should levy here about me personally that influenced me and my feelings on this game:

    1) Born New York Native
    2) Lived in NYC during 9/11

    I make that second point solely because of the Terrorist attacks that take place within the game, which is why I used the spoiler tag for this review. I don't generally like the term "Triggered," but honestly, when Mr. Negative suicide bombs City Hall, I legitimately broke down and had to stop playing for an awhile. Between the smoke and fire, people fleeing from the explosion, twisted iron rods and concrete scattered around the ground amongst the bodies brought me right back to those events. And while of course, this is a game set in a fictional NYC, the later #NYCSTRONG found in Spidery twitter feed is something New Yorkers in real life would have done, and do to this day.

    I wanted to get that out of the way first because "above the fold," but the title at large is amazing (see what I did there).

    *Visually the game is beautiful. Water effects are top notch as is many of the buildings. Environmental effects feel real as does the population at large. One of the best moments to stick out for me was after I found the Ghostbusters firehouse and some random dude on the corner wanted to give me a High-five. Look, this is accurate, New Yorkers would do something like that. He even stood behind while I took a selfie.

    *Speaking of the selfie, this might be the first time in a game I've used this feature (when applicable). It just works well and fits in a game centered around one of the most famous cities in the world).

    *Combat is fun and stays fun throughout the game. Leveling abilities though stopped being "Upgrades" after about halfway through each tree. They felt less new and more just icing on the cake. If they weren't there, you wouldn't notice it.

    *Suits and Suit Abilities: Look, I'll whittle it down for you: I found myself using the Spider Bro and Spider Drones like 90% of the time the rest of them never saw the light of day. Insomniac didn't balance the usefulness of these (instead focused on the flow of combat by the player). This was fine for me, but honestly, you could take on nearly everything with the above combo.

    Spiderpunk is awesome! I have never done cosplay in my entire life, but Spiderpunk--yea I'd do it. The Comic suit was great, the "dark suit" was cool as was the Avengers inspired "Iron Spider" suit found in Infinity War. I found myself playing dress-up for both selfie's AND for cutscenes. The endgame "suits" aren't all that great, but what you get is still really good.

    Story-Story was both light-hearted, depressing and obvious but is a positive for me. The voice acting is top-notch as was the emoting from all characters in particular Miles (for me at least). Peter does have a few "derp face moments" (So does MJ) but not enough to sour the experience. I hate (really love) Insomniac for building a significant relationship between Peter and Dr. Ock banking on us knowing that he's going to fall. What I didn't like was that that fall comes in THIS GAME. Swerving away from the perceived Mr. Negative as the main villain at around the 75% mark kind of upended the narrative, but once I got past this, I found myself interested. I wish it came in the eventual follow-up. For that though, we have Norman...

    Turning J.Jhonah into an Alex Jones clone was spot-on--didn't stop me from despising him any less. Half-truths are lies wrapped in conviction, and Insomniac nailed this.

    Quests and content: The stimmed "collect (x)" thing or "fight that" system worked for me. Once something new popped up on the map I rushed to clear it out. That worked for most of the game, until the very end when the game drags out the last quarter of it with padding. It could have been less here and made it feel uneven.

    Conclusion: I just finished this the other night. For the first time in a long time, I'll be popping back into the world after the credits to hunt down the hidden camera shots and frankly to explore a very inaccurate Manhattan. There's no Staten Island Ferry terminal, but the ferry can be seen throughout the city. Roosevelt Island has disappeared and someone needs to tell Lin Manuel Miranda that Washington Heights is now a body of water and a highway to Yonkers. If you grew up in NYC but don't live there anymore, you'll find comfort, if you love Spiderman, you'll love this. It is a must buy.

    Also....not a single MICROTRASACTION TO SEE HERE, and it's perfect.    … Expand

The web swinging, combat and mini games were so enjoyable though I just wanted to do as much as possible. I loved the story too. I'm already thinking about doing a second playthrough. Currently my game of the year simply because I had so much fun playing it.

In cinematics, cut scenes and gameplay but above all that manhattan looks almost like in real life ! and even sounds like it with the traffic, the people, and even onsomniac put the actual voice of the subway that say's "stand clear of the closing doors please", overall the city feels like im actually going outside of my apartment dressed as spiderman (but the city could get better though it still need 200 more things to be accurate but its still fine and im hoping in the sequal it would be a copy paste of the actual city !!!) And damn i have to mention that insomniac also put interiors into the buildings giving each building a dynamic feel to it ! and the cinematics and cut scenes are jaw dropping not just from the looks but also from the acting ! you should bring popcorn when youre playing this game !!! i had moments that i asked myself if this is a video game of a movie ? But anyhow its perfect ! but besides the amazing looks i just talked about the gameplay and controls are amazing as well, i was hoping to really screw it up with the web slinging around the city and not go well with the combat just like previous spiderman titles but this spiderman takes the glory ! the web slinging is smart and fun and feels very dynamic and amazing ! the combat you need to get used to (and no this is not a arkham style rip off infact the arkham series took the combat from the old ps2 spiderman games) but once you get used to it its great and fun and especially fun when you use youre gadgets ! the gadgets and progression system feels rewarding and fun with loads of cool suits to unlock the gadgets that feel like they came from ratchet and clank ! the soundtrack is beautiful especially when web slinging ! and even in cutscenes the soundtrack overall is great from the guns and vehicles to the music itself and not to mention that even peter parker has 2 recorded voices of the same line incase youre in stressful moments or youre just chiling around the city which gives the game an even more dynamic feeling to it ! But with all that there is also a ton amount of content and effort into the game with loads of challenges and collectibles and places to liberate again ! And not to mention how the story feels and progresses amazingly ! you start as just one simple manhattan spiderman and suddenly the whole city is corrupted and you save it once again ! im not going to talk much about the story because of spoilers but the game tells it in a very good and dramatic way and you really feel the characters emotions and it could make you cry in the end ! but i was most excited that they had put an open ending ! so prepare for a sequal ! But with all that good, some parts of the game felt a bit mehhh, like when completing a mission you now have to get all the backpacks back or liberate enemy strongholds its like some main parts of the game are actually guides for side missions and not that interesting the sides quests though only one of them was great when you had to defeat a main super villain but the others felt lame some parts of the missions when you play as other characters are all stealth based with not much else to do but and i wish that there was more effort into the main quests and side missions with more lore of spiderman end investigating the whole game and lore of the avengers that would make something nice. But instead of that they let you catch birds in one side quest lol please insomniac dont make the sequal feel like a chore ! .Overall i think this is an outstanding game its a solid 9/10 for me and could easily reach a ten if some main quests weren't so boring and felt like a chore im really hoping for the dlc and ng+ plus and more updates to come this game is a must have for ps4 owners ! my friends gave their xboxes away after the release of uncharted 4 and they dont regret a second of it ! so buy the digital deluxe if you want i really do recommend getting that i pre orderd it and im just happy that im getting future content and i love how the game makes you feel like spiderman ! it really does ! so to end this review GO OUT NOW AND BUY IT OR BUY IT DIGITALLY LIKE I DID !… Expand

    Perfect mix of everything that is good about Spider-man. His struggle with duality, his relationships, his resilience.

This is one of the best games I´ve played this year. The gameplay is simply awesome. So many combat options. Navigating the city feels so natural and ultimately you can do almost everything you've seen Spider-Man doing in the comics, movies and so on. It´s hard to describe. You need to play it. Amazingly on top of that already awesome gameplay is a living New York filled with things to do. An awesome attention to detail that sometimes gets lost as you are focused on swinging across the city. But it´s there. Every landmark, every popular place. The really top notch acting. The story that really is some of the best even when compared to Spider-Man movies. Strangely showing in a video game, sides of the characters that sometimes get lost in Hollywood movies. But above all, the creative liberties the developers took really upped the narrative. I won't spoil it for anyone reading this. But this is a Spider-Man story worth experiencing. Don´t worry. It won't just be yet another Spider-Man story. And there is so much content and activities to take part on. Varied and fun. And it´s up to you to decide if you want to play them all or skip those that you don't enjoy as much. Personally, I've been doing them all. Anyway, you know you are playing a good game when. 1 - You just can't stop playing it. 2- You just don't want it to end even though you know eventually you will exhaust the content and main story the game has to offer. Do not thing of this game as yet another Batman Arkham or Second Son. It has many elements of those games but it raises to the top offering an unique experience. There are other more hyped games out there either that have already come out or about to be released. But believe me. You don't want to miss out on this one.    … Expand

    It's kind of funny how previous spider-man games got ripped on for doing the same thing as previous spider-man games or for copying Arkham games or for their lack of innovation, when this game pretty much does the exact same thing but get's away with it. Maybe it's because it's been years since we had the last Spider-Man game, or maybe it's because this game is more polished than previousIt's kind of funny how previous spider-man games got ripped on for doing the same thing as previous spider-man games or for copying Arkham games or for their lack of innovation, when this game pretty much does the exact same thing but get's away with it. Maybe it's because it's been years since we had the last Spider-Man game, or maybe it's because this game is more polished than previous ones, even though it's still not perfectly polished. There are bugs, and they are annoying but for some reason THIS one gets a pass. Well, not by me it doesn't.

    Let me start by saying this game is good, no doubt. The story is great, the gameplay, while taking some getting used to, is also great, the animations are great, the graphics are great but some parts are just repetitive and there are game breaking bugs that do indeed break missions and force you to start over. Best example, when a guy you NEED to defeat is stuck in a wall and unreachable forces you to fail and restart a mission. This has happened a few times for me on my first playthrough. The missions are also repetitive, giving you little incentive to actually want to complete them. In fact, after you're done with the main story there's really not much else to do asides random crimes, which are all "Beat up bad guys" or "Save one or two people". Yes, there are challenges but for the love of god they suck so bad. The racing drone one's in particular suck so much, because the web swinging is completely random as to how it reacts to where you are. One moment, it will react perfectly the way you want then the next it will latch onto a building you weren't expecting and completely F you up on your challenge forcing you to restart, and these challenges are NOT easy and you NEED the tokens to unlock suits & gadgets which is even worse. The only way to unlock everything is to get the Gold rank on most of these challenges, which pretty much made me quit doing them. Then there's the other tokens, which are themselves also annoying to grind. You need crime tokens to buy gear & suits as well, and while they are easily available and unlimited to earn they are also tedious to earn making fighting crimes feel like a chore you need to do to get an allowance. That's not to say it's not fun fighting crimes, but it does get repetitive and repetitive always leads to boredom after a while.

    Then there's Mary Jane Watson, who used to be a character I liked. A strong woman who stood by her man but also took no **** from him, I hate her now... She's become one of the worst women in Spider-man. Fricking Silver Sable is a better character than MJ now, and SS is as shallow a character as you can get. Also, I don't like playing as MJ or Miles in the forced stealth missions. Not to say their work isn't useful, but it is unnecessary. Miles going into gang infested territory to get some antibiotics or MJ risking her life to ... be a reporter? Wasn't that supposed to be Parker's job? What the hell happened to her acting career? Whatever... Black cat makes a cameo in the form of finding her cat statues, and until the DLC comes out she's not really in the game. Then there's the detective lady, who I can't remember her name... She's the drollest character in the story, a dull uninspired police-woman who's just there to give Spider-man direction through the plot. "Go get fisk, fix these towers, go get me groceries." That last one's a joke, but you get the point. She's a useless character.

    The boss fights in the game are really fun, tho, with the exception being the first one against Mr. Negative. It was just a bland QTE boss fight, but the next one is awesome. Fighting 2 bosses at once in the air while webslinging, dodging moves, counter attacking, zipping around. Yea, that was really good. And the last boss fight was great as well, the one between those two was just okay. I think overall the fighting in the game is probably the best & most polished part about it. Attack with one button, web attack with another, dodge with another. It takes getting used to but once you get used to it oh man can you flow like a beast. Getting combos upwards of 80 or higher, in a fight against waves of enemies can be some of the most fun you'll ever have in this game. They really need to make an endless mode where you just fight enemies in an arena or something like that, cause whenever it ended I was always in the mood for more.

    Overall, the game is good but it's not done what previous games haven't done before. It's just much more polished in it's execution of what they've done before. Using background object to attack enemies, Amazing Spider-man did it. Level up system? Amazing Spider-man did it. Open world collectables & web swinging? Every game after 2 did it. The main difference tho is that Insomniac perfected what previous games did, and that's what makes this one the best Spider-man game ever made.    … Expand

    Story

    One of the strongest aspects of this game is the story. The Developers Insomniac set out to not only write a well-written video game story, but it’s also quite apparent that their goal was to write a well written Spider-Man and Peter Parker story. It’s an interesting as you have Spider-Man at his peak, he is hitting on all cylinders but then you have Peter Parker where every aspect of his life is falling apart.

    Favorite Character

    It’s a Spider-Man game so its hard not to pick Spider-Man. I love his little quips and his jokes, there is just something so charming about Spider-Man.

    Puzzles

    This is hands down the worst aspect of the game, there are two types of “puzzles” and they’re both terrible. Luckily there is a setting in the game options that you can skip all puzzles. That way when you’re narratively forced to engage with one of the “puzzles” you can hit the “R1” button and the game instantly solves them.

    Gameplay

    There are two major aspects to the gameplay. The traversal through the world (web swinging) and the combat.

    The swinging is extremely satisfying and just works flawlessly. The way you seamlessly swing through the city and then hit a building and instead of losing momentum, you just switch gears and start running the building. Some of the buildings will have fire escapes on the outside and that’s doesn’t slow you down either. You just start hopping along the fire escapes. A lot of thought went into the mobility of the game and it shows.

    The other major aspect is, as I said the combat which is reminiscent of Arkham franchise but it is different enough. One of the key differences is, in Arkham you’re much more grounded where in this game, you definitely want to focus on more aerial combos. It’s not difficult to do so but its very important to pop an enemy up in the air and try to knock them out in the air.

    Bosses

    There were a grand total of 7 Boss battles in the game and they were all for the most part well done. There is one boss that you end up fighting twice, the first you fight him, it’s not much more than a quick time event boss battle. Although the second time you fight the boss, it is much better and I think it may be my favorite boss in the game. Looking back, all of the boss battles did feel different and that’s what you really want in a video game.

    Mission/Level Design

    There are 3 keys that I want to touch upon in this section. The main story missions, the Miles/MJ missions, and the side missions.

    Main Missions: These were all fantastic with the exception of a few that I will touch upon in the next part. The main story of the game is maybe 20 hours and Insomniac did a fantastic job with the Main Story missions, it doesn’t feel like you’re rehashing the same missions over and over again.
    The Miles Morales/MJ, however, are just awful. They are forced stealth and they’re bad stealth in my opinion. What I define as bad stealth is stealth that if you’re ever caught, you lose instantly. Missions that are structured this way just lead to frustration and never fun. Luckily, these missions are not too common and there is maybe 6 of them, which equates to about 45 minutes to an hour.
    The third type is side missions and there is an inconsistency with them. Some are good but most are okay. My recommendation is mess around with a handful of them and then focus on the main story.

    Music/Sound Design/Voice Acting

    The sound design of the game is nearly perfect. I didn’t have any issue with the voice acting and the music felt like a Marvel movie. It’s exactly what I wanted.

    Marvel's Spider-Man is Insomniac's take on the human spider, after a long beating up from Activision over the years.

Games like Edge of Time, Web of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, they were all    Marvel's Spider-Man is Insomniac's take on the human spider, after a long beating up from Activision over the years.
    After playing through the movie-tie ins of Spider-Man 2/3 from the early 2000's, I hadn't felt the same kind of drive with any other Spider-Man games released in the future as I played them. Games like Edge of Time, Web of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions, they were all mediocre at best to me. Even with their positive features, none of them clicked with me. The Amazing Spider-Man came out as a game to tie in with its movie, and I just couldn't bear that game. It tried too much to be like the Batman Arkham games, which were very successful due to how well they used their formula and with a very good and unique story. Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 on the other hand, had lackluster stories. I don't even think I completed TASM2 because I just couldn't stand revisiting that formula again after playing Arkham Knight, which was FANTASTIC.
    It's been 4 years since the horrid Amazing Spider-Man 2. Once Marvel's Spider-Man was announced two years ago, I had to admit I was impressed and gaining hype, but I was beginning to doubt it. However, once I saw the gameplay, I was absolutely blown away. I knew this was the game we needed, and I knew this was Insomniac's big break after the not-so-impressive Ratchet & Clank reboot. Much to how I expected, this game turned out spectacular.
    The main theme alone, once I started up the game for the first theme, had wrecked my entire brain. It sounded like it belonged on the big screen in the MCU, and it definitely was the perfect theme for our favorite quippy superhero.
    The story is pretty great, it's definitely the kind you'd find in a Marvel movie or comic line, and I never felt that the pace was broken or messed up in the entire playthrough. Never became slow and never moved too fast, it was a perfect 20-22 hour ride.
    The gameplay itself is the big highlight. The game takes almost all of its foundation from the original Spider-Man 2 video game from Activision's times and refines it.
    The web swinging is top notch here, even better than Spider-Man 2. You can do a variety of air tricks once you release the web, like front and backflips, spinning horizontally, and you can rack up XP for doing these tricks, as well as a trophy in particular. The swinging is fluid, and it makes a return of sticking to buildings. Different moves can be done, such as swinging into a building and running across it, which while doing so you can press X to boost yourself up further. There's also web zipping to make your travels faster, and a move you can unlock where once you hit the ground, you can hit X and not lose the flow of the traversing and go flying in the air once again.
    Combat wise, you've got the basic beat-em-up gameplay, somewhat reminiscent of the Arkham games with the combo multiplier and the takedowns you can perform by pressing triangle and circle, but the combat system will be very familiar if you played Spider-Man 2 back in the day. A new feature that wasn't seen in the original game is the addition of gadgets, which seems to come from the Arkham Inspiration. There is a wide assortment of gadgets including web bombs, electric webs, concussion blasts, drones, and more. It helps the combat not become too simplistic and boring whenever you want a different style for fights. I found myself using trip mines, web bombs, and concussion blasts a lot, which can be combined in different ways, such as using a web bomb to trap someone in webs, then concussion blast them into a wall and permanently disable them for the rest of the fight. There are also a large variety of suits to equip in this game, each containing a unique suit power you can equip using any suit of your choice, which also adds variety to your combat, as well as suit powers that enhance your healing or give you electricity in certain situations, and others. The combat is one of the best I've ever experienced in a video game, period.
    There are so many more things you can do in this game, like various side missions, taking photos of landmarks, and collecting backpacks to see important items from the history of Spidey himself, but you should play it to discover all these things for yourself!
    Marvel's Spider-Man is one of the greatest games I've ever played in my entire life. It has easily climbed its way into my Top 5 games, and I believe every human being should have an opportunity to witness our favorite webhead's peak in video games, and the best superhero game of all time in my opinion. Insomniac has done a fantastic job, and this is, in my opinion, their greatest game ever.
    Marvel's Spider-Man gets a 10/10, a perfect score. Insomniac deserves it. I haven't been this hooked on a game in a while, and I haven't felt so inspired to be like a hero before now. I can't wait for what's next in the fresh reboot of a spectacular franchise. Thank you for reading.    … Expand

You can perform tricks in the air, web zip, a zip to point move that will launch you forward resulting in a huge speed boost, wall running transitions from a web, a move that will let you do a cool zip through a water tower or anything that looks like a tunnel, and much more. It's fighting system is very entertaining and satisfying, Using your gadgets during a fight will change your odds and you will always have the upper hand if you know what you are doing, but you aren't invincible, if you get hit you will face the consequences because you wouldn't have invincibility frames. You will actually need to be focused on what you are doing and not just press square. Aerial combos will also give you a leg up as some enemies will not be able to hit you, but the more you go into the game, the more challenging it will be as there is so many diverse enemies with many abilities and looks. This is not like Batman at all, this is a Spider-Man game. Spider-Man PS4 has taken its inspiration of combat from Spider-Man 2 as it both has aerial attacks, web grabs, swing kicks, and similar fluid combat style. The story is spectacular with many funny moments and when it gets serious, it goes over the top with amazing voice acting and realistic facial expressions. Conversations between characters are natural and are very entertaining. I suggest this game to anyone who has a PS4 even if you don't like Spider-Man because the story will give you laughs and tears. 10/10 will play everyday.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers! After getting 100% two times, I feel like I should start making a review.
    _*Story/Characters*_: The Story is amazing and is a Spidey fan's dream. Even though there are some pacing issues like the Mary Jane missions. Doc Ock, Spider-Man, Miles Morales, etc make this game an intriguing story nonetheless.
    In the beginning, you are greeted with Peter's room in which it is a mess. He then gets a call of a major crime at Fisk Tower. This sets up to him putting on his suit and getting a note of eviction. This shows how Peter is just like any other person in real life and in his universe. He has to pay bills, has to do his job, etc. He takes down Fisk with some awesome gameplay sequences. Fisk says when being arrested he says this, "One Month! In one month you'd wish you had me back!" In which he is right. We then go to Doc Ock.
    Doc Ock is a very Interesting character and is one of the best characters in the game. The game shows a troubled man trying to live his dream of making something big that can revolutionize the world. Peter is his assistant and even in Doc's darkest times, Peter is there with him. By the end of the game, you feel a sense of urgency for him not to turn into the villain we all know and love. In the end, you defeat Doc by taking off the control unit of his arms and then have an emotional confrontation with him. Doc wanted to be something else when Peter didn't and the only thing Peter could do was leave him.
    Mr. Negative/Martin Lee is a very intriguing character. His parents were *killed while Norman Osborn was experimenting on him. This leads to Martin developing a plan to make him "suffer". He blows up the speech where Miles' dad gets killed by the bombing. Martin was a very kind man when you met him at F.E.A.S.T. He celebrated Aunt May's services at the place and made beds for homeless people. But there was always something wrong with him. He had this look in his eyes where you felt like he was planning something. Overall he was developed well and gave some great boss battles.
    Mary Jane: I liked Mary Jane at first but got very insecure about herself when you go into the game. I also didn't like the Mary Jane missions that much but I didn't mind it. I don't really have that much to say about her. She's just kind of an annoying, insecure person. But I will say this, the text scene with her and Peter was great and it's something that all of have confronted in life. She got better though by the end but I felt like Insomniac should not have gone this path of MJ.
    Miles Morales: Insomniac made me like Miles. They made me relate and feel bad for the guy. They developed his character so well and the stealth sequence with him and Rhino almost gave me a heart attack. My favorite scene with him was at his father's funeral where he basically shut down Peter. I loved how they didn't kill Peter when Miles get bit by the Spider too. I really can't wait how they're going to use him in the sequel.
    The story from beginning to end is a great experience. It has an abundance of great scenes like the crane scene, the texting scene, the Doc Ock confrontation (in the end), and sadly Aunt May passing away. This game's story is just a great piece of work.
    -------------------------
    Gameplay:
    The gameplay is fun and creative. It's related to Spider-Man 2 or Batman Arkham but it gets creative with the system. There are so many ways to beat up thugs, you can web them up in the air and yank them down, you can punch into the wall and them web them onto the wall, you can knock them out with a f*cking drone. It's so much fun to play with and the QTE's do not do anything to draw back the system. You can skip the QTE's by going to the settings, in which the QTE sections will just look like an epic movie action scenes. The puzzles are not really necessary but it does add to the variety. You can also use the skip button to skip the puzzles. I love it how they're not forcing you to do convoluted stuff. If you don't want to do the puzzle missions, you can just skip them. Overall the gameplay get's inspiration from other games, but it gets creative with it and makes it a whole lot of fun. And who can forget about the Web Swinging? The web swinging is the best traversal system in video game history (in my opinion). The swinging is very realistic and actually takes skill to web swing around beautiful New York City. It just never gets old, I could probably web swing for an hour or so.

    The combat is even more addictive, there are so many different ways to take down enemies which doesnt even take into account the gadgets.

    However, there are some cons, as with any games. Some of the boss battles dont feel as they were used to their potential even though the last and first ones are incredible.
    The side missions are also a missed opportunity because there could of been smaller villains used (such as big wheel).
    The sinister six are bit forced in at the ned without having much time to build up their character.

    overall, this is definitely a contender for game of the year!

    Was surprised at how good the story is. The story was mediocre at first, but the game play is so enticing that it kept me in just long enough for the story to hook me. Story does finish off great. So satisfying to swing through New York, only used the fast travel a couple times late at night to finish off one more mission before bed.

    Having said that, it doesn't come without its flaws. The combat system takes a lot time to master. But once you do, it's simply addictive. Just like the swing mechanics, they take a while to sink in but there's something so amazing about swinging everywhere. Stunning graphics, great storyline, amazing acting. Engaging and funny writing.    For me this undeniable THE BEST GAME OF THE YEAR.

    It does tend to get repetitive after a while, and the storyline is a bit uneven with great moments of action and then just... nothing to do other than sidequests.

    Definitely best spider man game ever but still falls short of what it could have been, so far would give strong 7 out of 10. People on the streets do acknowledge and interact with you on somewhat level, but their faces do not move, like lips and stuff 95% of the time, it just some body animation and then you hear voice saying a line, but their face almost never moves.

    Also if you run, you pretty much run straight through people. Like non clip thing is on, although they do seem to have "pushed" animations, but it somewhat activates too late, once spider runs through them and it is really distracting considering u could not do it in the amazing spider man 2 game.

    Fighting combat is fun, but straight up cloned from Batman Arkham Knight. Animals on the streets like squirrels run beside u and u can walk through them, because they do not have any AI they just have random spawn and movement pattern....and again u can just non clip through them.

    I don't know... city feels somewhat best as it ever been, but yeah.. if it was like GTA V style, where npc's actually have their life...these are just generic npc's which spawn randomly and do not do anything, like no purpose. They will shout for a taxi for as long as you going to wait for them to do something else.. but nah, npc will just stand on its animation loop and will shout for taxi even tho taxi car is there standing beside him. Not only that... traffic.... it just gets stuck. Nobody is moving, not even NPC's they just stand in the same spots. People stand beside road crossings and they do not do that. You can see low assets kicking in on cars, like 10 m away from them. Lower polygon models and it is somehow distracting but yeah, as much as city is animated and detailed it is as DEAD... And the lines of npc's do repeat even after 5 mins of standing still

    Story is good tho, swinging is fun. but anything else.. much potential maybe they needed another 2-3 months to polish things, maybe they needed more hardware power... Idk, but this is rather single linear game, because open world feels like a sandbox without a sand in it.

    Spider himself also seems not to be interested into interacting with environment, apart casual triangle button press beside npc's who come over u and say something like lets do selfie and after bumping into someone saying "excuse me" or similar line. And even after giving high five or other **** npc's just keep standing and doing nothing they do not walk away or mind their own business.

    Traffic AI is bad too... i see cars stuck and not moving for minutes, the traffic pattern seems to be very generic. You can stand in front of a car and block the way and the npc behind the wheel won't beep u or mimic or do anything. Yeah, again.. much potential, but open world is dead.

    I can only imagine the game which could have been if they would actually made some AI for npc's rather than focusing everything into the story which will leave you empty after the completion, unless you want to do the repetitive collectibles and side missions.

    I paid 52 euros for the game and completed on PS4 Pro. Will sell it to store for 50 euros voucher, so at the end game did not cost anything to me, but it leaves somewhat disappointment feeling. Maybe too much hype after all this waiting.

    Graphics: 8/10 (has the watch dogs 2 vibe and feel with a mix of the crew 2, but you can see popping and asset flipping to lower polygon models, car models are quite repetitive and npc models are not topping GTA V NPC's (2013 game))

    Combat is also great. It feels satisfying to hit someone and figuring out ways to use your gadgets and the environment to build up your combo counter is a lot of fun!

    That being said, it's not a perfect game and I don't feel like it completely deserves the 9's and 9.5's or higher that most professional reviewers gave it. It has a lot of great points for sure. Good graphics, voice acting, character models, sound design combat and, like I mentioned, swinging through the city. But a lot of things also sucked the enjoyment out of the game for me.

    My biggest pet peeves have to be the forced stealth based story mission where you play as either MJ or Miles. I can remember one or two missions that were tense and had me on the edge of my seat...but most of them just brought the pacing down of what is an exciting, superhero adventure.

    Aside from that, it suffers from the same routine as a lot of open world game. Go to a tower, free up a section of the map, see where collectibles and missions are. Traversing through New York via your webs doesn't make this as much of a chore, fortunately. But a lot of side-content, especially when it comes to beating up Thugs and other nasties that pop up later in the game IS a chore. The Research Stations probably offer the most variety, as do the normal Side Quests. Though I do wish the latter was more exciting and had you deal with more of the enemies in Spider-Man's Rogue's Gallery. Especially later on in the game.

    Taking enemies out the stealthy way also isn't really rewarding. The mooks don't react in a satisfying way, like they do in the Arkham games were they become scared and unpredictable. And it's pretty useless when you are doing Base missions where the second wave appears and spots you immediately.

    Boss fights also tend to follow a pattern, but they are fun and exciting at least. That being said, I do wish said Bosses got more time to shine. Near the end of the game some of Spider-Man's more famous villains pop up...and they get very little screen time before they face you two at a time. Meaning that you wipe out four out of the six baddies relatively quickly.

    Only two of the villains really get a chance to shine and it is done well! Especially the main villain. You, the player, probably know who he is and that you will eventually face him. But the game did an excellent job of making you wonder:"But when is the reveal going to come for Spider-Man?"

    All in all, Insomniac did a fantastic job handling Spider-Man. It has its fault, but the game feels great to play and it tells an amazing story with good characters. It definitely managed to tug at my heartstrings too, especially the last few scenes.

    My only complaint about the story has to be the whole romantic subplot that's going on with MJ and Peter. Mainly because the arguments they have have been done to death in almost every other movie, comic, book, tv-show or videogame when it's about dating a superhero. But it seems to have been resolved, so hopefully I won't be bothered by that in a possible sequel.

    On the other hand, if it wasn't for that last point above - Spider-Man - the game would feel very old and dated.

    The game almost constantly chucks new collectibles at you; every main missions seems to activate some new collectible ranging from taking photos and collecting backpacks, to chasing down criminals that have popped up little outposts around the city.

    Not only that but some of the collectibles are poor - such as grabbing a random rucksack that's lying around, going to a location and looking for a small statue hidden in the distance, taking a photo of a random landmark... But you very much forgive the game for this because the gameplay you use to gather these is so fun!

    The main campaign is really good - there are some neat set pieces and some truly memorable boss fights, also some of the writing is excellent and it definitely gets you excited about a potential follow up!

    The reason this review is so tricky for me, is because if you literally re-skinned this entire game to be something like a Prototype or Infamous follow up, or a new IP entirely it would score a 6/10, but because it's the webslinger himself you can't help but love the game. I'd give this an 8/10 easily as a result.

You do the same moves over and over with the same combinations. While the game gives you A LOT of options on how you play, which I am still discovering and having fun with, the core combat of the game remains the same. It vastly compares to Batman: Arkham city, it's much more in depth than just clicking one button the entire game which was a very welcome take on it.

The story is fun but has some boring missions, however, the story pushes through with a lot of high stakes on the line. My biggest flaw with this game is the boring unmemorable soundtrack and the boring boss fights. Every boss fight is easy except the first one at the beginning of the game because you are still getting the hang of fighting a bunch of people at once. Not to mention it is the EXACT SAME animation every time you hit them. I realize it's not the biggest thing to harp on but they build up all this tension for the boss fights but they are so underwhelming. The soundtrack is horrendously forgettable and I am struggling to recall a single track to my mind. Marvel is notorious for having forgettable music in their movies (with exceptions to Guardians of The Galaxy) but, this games music is so lackluster to the experience you are getting. I may have been bashing on the game a lot more than praising it but, Marvel's Spider-Man is a MUST HAVE for any PS4 owner. The combat and the movement is done so well that I didn't even focus on the story because I was just swinging through the city collecting items and stopping crime. If you have a PS4, you owe it to yourself to try this game and see the talent that Insomniac has brought to the table.… Expand

    Awesome game!! Must buy for any superhero game fan, or anyone who likes quality games! I’ve replayed multiple times already-the combat and story are absolutely phenomenal! This is one of the best PS4 games out there! I would give it a 10 but there are some minor graphical issues and repetitive voiceovers (esp while solving crimes), that sort of take away from the game’s awesomeness.Awesome game!!

    This game is good(enjoyable but not the best game ever). It is fun to get around much like it was in the PS2 Spider-man game.

While all those games have great things about them, they felt special because it was their own things and they took pride in those mechanics. With Spider-man, it feels like the only thing it took pride in was the web-swinging and even that came partially from the PS2 Spider-Man game I mentioned earlier. All and all, good game but a little repetitive… Expand

    Great web-slinging mechanics and very fun gameplay. Story was fun and the portrayal of Peter Parker felt fresh. Felt like as the story escalated it became less engaging. Small moments were powerful, but big moments lacked emotional weight.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like this spider man game it looks so beautiful, the combat is great, the story is good and swinging around the city is so fun. But it is not perfect, one time I couldn’t progress in side mission and I had to restart it and for a whole day my game will always crash when I press continue now I can play it but it can happen. The boss fights are kinda underwhelming most of them are easy. The ending cutscene was great showing harry as venom made me jump out of my seat. I hope I can play miles next game as Spider man and hope the boss fights are more harder to defeat. Other then that it is a great game and I am excited for the next game… Expand

    This game are the best Spider-man game multimedia resource ever. I really like the game for every ponint: are funny, easy to play and the plot are very very good. I deduct 2 points because: 1. If you went for Platinum trophy, the gang missions are very repetitive and would be perfect with 20 less.

    Honestly the best game I've ever played. Yes, I'm a big marvel fan so this may have skewed my opinion somewhat. But from the enriching character development to the simply awesome web-swinging game mechanic, this game made me feel like I was spiderman!

    When I started playing Marvel’s Spider-Man, I was gripped by the fluid web swinging, adrenaline pumped combat, and the splendid looking New York City that was this game. The game is full of side content to do; lost Spidey backpacks to find, research stations to complete, and enemy faction bases to take out along with fighting the crimes that go on in the city. Throughout my playthrough ofWhen I started playing Marvel’s Spider-Man, I was gripped by the fluid web swinging, adrenaline pumped combat, and the splendid looking New York City that was this game. The game is full of side content to do; lost Spidey backpacks to find, research stations to complete, and enemy faction bases to take out along with fighting the crimes that go on in the city. Throughout my playthrough of Marvel’s Spider-Man, I sat there with my eyes glued to the screen and my fingers not wanting to let go of the controller. It is rare for a game to grab my attention and not let go until, of course, my controller runs out of charge and forces me to!

    In the gameplay and visual aspect of things, this game doesn’t fail to impress. The web swinging is smooth and plays like a gem. I rarely had issues with my webs failing to release or my swings just suddenly stopping. One of the more troubling gameplay features is the climbing. It is a pain to control Spidey’s movement, especially with the problematic camera angles when climbing up or down a wall. This minor problem doesn’t bother the player too much during the main story missions, but it is a real pain in the side missions.

    Insomniac Games has tried and succeeded in creating an interactive combat system. You have your normal attack, a plethora of gadgets to choose from and an easy combo system to make the combat enjoyable. I loved bashing waves of enemies to pulp, and after you finish the game and unlock most of the gadgets, it is pretty fun to take down enemies by only using Spidey’s gadgets. Insomniac Games has tied the combat in with the environment too. If you web an enemy standing near a wall, they will be webbed to it. You can also use webs to pull and throw objects in the environment such as scaffolding, barrels and even motorcycles.

    When it comes to the traversal aspect of the game, Marvel’s Spider-Man is revolutionary. You can control Spidey’s swing to the tinniest things; whether it is swinging around the corner of the building or launching yourself off a streetlight. There are different animations for different actions, such as running up a fire escape or point launching through a water tower. Yeah, I’m not joking. You can do that. The game is visually appealing too - the sunsets are gorgeous, and New York City literally sparkles at night. Although there is no day and night cycle (you can only change this once you beat the game), different missions take you through different times of the day. This really helps bring out the mood and atmosphere in the story missions.

    An interesting aspect innovated by the developers is that one has the option to be MJ or Miles Morales in certain missions. While mainly being stealth missions, these provide a refreshing break from the mainstream missions in the game. Although these aren’t as fun to play as the Spidey missions, they are good in their own right and are crucial to the continuation of the game’s story.

    The game leads you on a classic Spiderman tale weaving in and out of Peter’s life, tying in his normal life with his superhero duties. The story is packed with action, crime, romance and solidarity, and honestly speaking, it’s a splendid story. On paper at least. When being translated onto the screen, it loses its edge. Now, I’m not saying the way the story is written is at fault; it’s the way it’s being portrayed to us. The voice acting is crude and lacking in emotion. You don’t feel drawn into the story and the game doesn’t make you feel the emotions that the characters are feeling. Although I’m pretty sure Insomniac would have invested loads of money into this game, this is one aspect they missed out. They lacked the edge when turning a story that looks great on paper, into a gripping tale that fits into the game. While there are plenty of action-packed sequences that draw you in, the credit for those goes to the gameplay rather than the storytelling.

    By and large, Marvel’s Spider-Man is the perfect representation of a superhero video game. It blends superhero life with normal person things and does this exceptionally well. The gameplay is spectacular, and it has everything you need and expect from an action superhero Spiderman game. Coupled with an exciting story (apart from the robotic dialogues), Insomniac has well and truly hit jackpot with Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4. I give it a 9.5/10 and recommend it as a must buy for all PS4, and now PS5 owners too either through backwards compatibility or the remastered edition.    … Expand

    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.
