    Insomniac was the perfect choice to bring everyone’s friendly neighborhood spider to life. Everything feels torn straight from the movies/comics. The combat, the music, the art direction, the famous Spidey mouth. All superbly done. The story and villains are done great too. Familiar faces but with that insomiac spin. Love it.

    As a long time fan of the webhead I wondered if this game would be able to live up to the bar that was set by Spider-Man 2 on the PS2/Gamecube. What that game did so well was the physics based web swinging.

    As a long time fan of the webhead I wondered if this game would be able to live up to the bar that was set by Spider-Man 2 on the PS2/Gamecube. What that game did so well was the physics based web swinging.

    Fortunately the resounding answer is yes. Insomniac not only met that high bar but they surpassed it.

    Visually the game is stunning. New York has been realized convincingly with tall skyscrapers and a convincing populace. Spider-Man 2 allowed you to go to ground level, ride a car here or there, recover a kids balloon, deliver Pizza's. But this feels far more robust.

    There are dynamic events throughout the city to engage in. Maybe you stop a getaway car. Foil a robbery. Spot some thugs on a roof top? Send them flying over the edge only to see them stuck to the side of the wall.

    The combat is excellent. There is such a rhythm to it. You can dive between an enemy's legs, hit a guy behind them, bounce backward, web a manhole cover and twirl it about before sending it into some hapless goons noggin. Then you have all your web abilities like a web bomb, spider drone and more to boot.

    The web swinging has been done wonders too with a number of tricks you can perform.

    All of these really shine in the outposts and hideouts you can take down using a mix of stealth and bare knuckle fisticuffs.

    There are plenty of collectibles to collect that can then be used to unlock suits and upgrades. Insomniac didn't stop though. They continued adding new suits and fresh content with DLC including the beloved Raimi suit.

    The story too is frankly amazing. While the Arkham games have always excelled at presenting Batman's rogues gallery and delivering a Batman vs. Joker story? Spider-Man's story in this game really gets to the heart of what makes Peter Parker Spider-Man.

    On the other hand, the game is completely awesome. I played a few a hous and I think that it could be one of this generation must have, just like GOW (PS4), The Witcher III or The Legend Of Zelda BOTW (Switch).

    I actually did all of the side content and got the platinum trophy... I almost never do side content, especially in sandbox games. 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.

The Abilities and Gadgets make each fight different as you choose different gadgets for different encounters.

    The wide range of suits is a nice touch including Movie suits. The Story itself its interesting and there is always a plot twist around the corner that you didnt see coming. each character perfectly represents their comic counter part while keeping it interesting as you progress.

    the graphics in this game are beautiful, better than E3 IMO, and all the landmarks look 1:1 with their real versions. 10/10 in every part. if you like Spider-Man you will love this Game.

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

    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.

The city of New York is alive, civilian driving, celebrating when you pass next to them and doing an activity like doing yoga, dancing and even playing basketball. The music is recognizable, but with the own twist of the composer from insomniac. The graphics are smooth and beautiful nothing wrong to say about that. Insomniac just did the Holy Grail of the superhero genre of game. The storytelling of resistance, the gameplay of sunset overdrive and the humour of Ratchet and Clank have prepared Insomniac games to create the greatest Spider-Man game. It an absolute buy for every fan of the web-swinger and for every ps4 owner. (sorry Xbox players)
    Final word: play this game you won't regret it!

    However In Spider-Man The funniest thing to do in the game is swing around the breathtaking city of New York as it is almost as if the game devs took the real city and just placed it into the game (with some Marvel Universe thrown in) to make a living and breathing city almost like the city in itself is a character in the story, and speaking of the story, the story within the game kept me interested in figuring out what is going on within the city that never sleeps, Side missions are a bit of a let down in the game though they are still fun to do, and with 28 different suits to unlock and challenges to complete the game will keep you going for a while.
    The game itself took me about 3 days to finish (from Friday when it came out to Sunday) and through that entire weekend I never felt bored or uninterested with the game, Gadgets within the game are also fun and exciting to use with some helping with sneaking and other gadgets helping in combat.
    Enemy variety is great with about a variety of 6 different enemy units but also there are 4 types of organisations you will have to battle with these different units within their ranks. One issue however I had with the game is right at the end of the game when i Beat the boss battle the game glitched me into an in-escapable area forcing me to go back about half an hour, other than that I never faced any further bugs or glitches or any crashes as well, Overall an amazing game and I hope Insomniac are immediately making the next game because I can't wait to see what they do next with The Friendly, The Amazing, THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN!!!

    Gameplay Wise, it has alot of combos and how you control the difficulty depends on you, you either invade a Fisk Territory by stealth or by Fist, it never gets tires cause the gameplay is just smooth and dazzling to watch with the impressive fighting animation and finishers, and the Side missions are fun and enjoyable as well cause every rewards has a purpose by collecting bagpacks for collectables to unlock the Homecoming suit, taking out criminals to by gaining crime tokens to unlock suits and gadgets for combat, taking pictures of monument, and helping people in need, etc etc. there are alot of stuff to do.
    Story wise, this is the best spiderman story every told including the movies, this is just the best, the characters are just compelling , and so is the villains as you progress knowing their backstory.
    And i'm happy to say, that the web-swinging is freaking amazing, i just web swing for 30 mins or more before i go to the next mission, it's just that fun as the web swinging in Spiderman 2 videogame, which is improved here in the latest

    Thank you insomiac, for bringing my Childhood Super Hero into an Amazing game, i can't wait for the sequels ^-^ ^-^

    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.

    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 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.

    Pros:

Whether you're climbing the Avengers tower, or swinging to Daredevil's lawyer office, it's perfect. The fighting is again, amazing. So many different ways to fight, different things to level. Overall, it's perfect.

    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. In my own personal opinion, this is one of, if not, the best game I have ever played. Insomniac deserve so much credit for the masterpiece they've presented us with.

Marvel's Spider-Man is my favorite video game of 2018, my favorite superhero video game, my favorite Marvel video game, and my favorite video game of all time. The graphics, the design of the city, and the characters designs are phenomenal and I love how realistic everything looks. The gameplay is stupendous especially the missions, the combat, the web-swinging ability, all of the gadgets you can use, and all of the interactive objects throughout the city. I love the characterization it is amazing. The writing and narrative throughout the whole game is outstanding, at times sad, at time touching, and I love how realistic it feels. The voice acting performances are excellent especially from Yuri Lowenthal, Tara Platt, Laura Bailey, Nicole Blise, Travis Willingham, Darin De Paul, Nancy Linari, William Salyers, Corey Jones, Stephen Oyoung, and Nadji Jeter.

There is a lot of stuff to do in the game's open world. I'm not gonna say what you can do because some of them are connected to the story and i'm not gonna spoil you anything. Now there are some side missions which are about a villian but not all of them. I think it would've been better if they added more villians but this won't make the game worse. If you see any one who's saying "this game is trash" or " it looks worse than a ps2 game" be sure that they're just some mad xbox fanboys.

    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.

    It's extremely enjoyable game and the best Spiderman yet by far. The only complaint I have is the outdated open world, map towers and a bit if a glitchy camera in combat. Everything else is at least decent to very good with the odd few aspects being amazing like the traversal and the combat at it's core. Story is damn good and pacing is fanrastic, it allows you to experience Peter parkerIt's extremely enjoyable game and the best Spiderman yet by far.

Anyway, 9/10 but I'll rate 10 to counter the trolls doing 0's. Expand

Talking about New York, the city is alive and you can stop crimes like you are Spider-Man. Expand

    This game was everything I ever wanted from a Spiderman title. The story about Peter is so relatable I cried towards the ending

    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.
