    One could say that I am a Play-Station fan, however I also love XBOX too. There are some upset people that X-Box did not get the game. That is understandable, however to knowingly begrudge a good score to a game that deserves a good score is both vicious and petty.

There are some upset people that X-Box did not get the game. That is understandable, however to knowingly begrudge a good score to a game that deserves a good score is both vicious and petty.

    Spider-Man is a thrill to play as you swing around the city of New York saving the city and its inhabitants from thugs in masks, mobsters and their gangs, triad members who have a blue type of gel that will hurt you if you touch it, and your typical Super-villains.

    As Spider-Man/Peter Parker and your life consists of swing from mission to mission, saving people trapped in cars or burning building, foiling all manner of robberies, collecting backpacks. to unlocked tokens and suits, all while trying not to get evicted, being on time for your job, helping MJ, and your aunt who is now working for a huge homeless shelter and food kitchen to feed the poor. You will feel like Spider-Man and the game will consume you in as you are compelled to go from mission to mission and do other side quests. At times you almost feel compelled to play the main missions because it consumes you.

    Much talk and comparisons have been made to the combat system of the “Arkham” games. The mechanics are similar but that is where it ends. Batman is my favorite hero bar none. I wanted to play as I played the Arkham games; but I would soon learn that I was so out of my league that I died numerous times.

    For all its brilliance that developer crafted into the game this game has some issues that need to be discussed. The first and most infuriating is the long load times. There are no transactions from mission to mission and at times while loading the screen goes black. This takes you out of your moment as you are all pumped up by playing only to be pulled out by the screen going black. In this day and age this is shouldn’t happen. (To be fair I played the game on a PS4 and I do not know if PS4-Pro had this issue.)

    The camera could be a bit wonky as at times, especially during heavy combat, the camera would get stuck in a position and it would not move. Then the game has many QuickTime Events (QTE) which I find bothersome, however to the credit the developers they added a way to disable QTE’s in the setting menu.

    Finally the “Spidey-Sense” could also lag at time. When you are about to take a hit the warning starts out white, when it turns blue then you need to move or you will be hit; unfortunately it sometimes doesn’t work as designed.

    Insomniac crafted this game vividly. Their attention to details is superb, even showing incoming numbers and Peter’s phone when he puts it to its ear. There are numerous references to the Marvel Universe as well as other Easter Eggs giving props to other games and even the DC-Verse.

    If you own a PS4, you must play this game, the graphics are breathtaking, the sand-box that is Manhattan is vast and beautiful to roam about in. Even after you finish the main story, there is much to play and discover. If you own a XBOX you can watch game-play, but do not give the game a bad rating because you’re upset this game did not come to X-Box as I do not think that even Phil Spencer would approve of the practice.    … Expand

The game is easily carried by the storyline. While some people might have a problem with the writers crafting new backstories for certain enemies and putting specific characters into this Peter's NYC that wouldn't go there otherwise, it's a very well told story. The story missions themselves are absolutely tremendous and some of the best in game story missions I've played in a very long time. The voice acting is great and you can tell the people playing them, especially the VA for Spider-man/Peter Parker took alot of pride in his role. I was greatly impressed with how things turned out here. Bout the only disappointing thing is the length as the main story only lasts about 10-15 hours. That's not including the tons of collectibles you can collect.
    The game is very heavily padded with collectibles to get and not all of them are very interesting. They all play into allowing you to purchase new suits for Spidey to wear throughout the game, each coming with a new suit power. That was fun and Spider-man has no shortage of awesome suits he's worn over the years. I would have liked to see a little backstory for each suit in particular but it's not something I'll knock the game for.
    There are a couple of minor problems with the game. For this being an open-world game, the map of NYC that you swing around is very small. It's probably one of the smallest ones I've seen in a game like this in awhile. It's very dense with collectibles to kinda hide the fact that you don't cover a ton of ground there. I'd also like to caution anyone going into this game thinking the battle system is similar to the Batman: Arkham games because you will have your butt handed to you in the first couple of hours trying to learn the game if that is your point of reference here. I also could have really done away with the "stealth" sequences they throw at you by forcing you to switch a non-Spider-man character at multiple times in the game. It slowed the game tremendously and got away from the best parts of the game: i.e. playing as Spider-man and going through the more action intense part of the games. It just felt like a crappy way of extending the length of an already short main storyline and drag things out a bit.
    Even still, this game really did live up to Sony's and Marvel's expectations. It'll be a wonderful game for the PS4 going into the holiday months and, by getting it out first before all the other big name games come after it, Sony will own the rest of the Christmas season at the rate this is going. Massive Spider-man fans should go into the game with a grain of salt and be understanding for some of the changes this universe makes to some back stories. For all other people who won't hold that kinda stuff against the game, this is something that will easily keep you entertained for the amount of time it takes to beat it.    … Expand

    The gameplay is very fun. Swinging didn't initially interest me, but once you get used to it, and become optimal, it's really a lot of fun. Also the game allows for fast travelling which helps reduce it getting boring.

    One thing this game made me thing a lot though is how great the Rocksteady Batman Arkham games were. A lot of spider-man fet directly copied, and the combat and gadets did feel like knock offs of the batman games.
    However, the game is still fun despite this I just hope the batman games are revisited on ps5.

Now, I can say I've played spiderman, and it's the best superhero game I've played in my life...( i'm not a batman fan, superman ftw). One word to describe the game? FUN. 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

    Sony continues to dominate 2018 with yet another solid hit. Marvel's Spider-Man doesn't have "amazing" in its title, but it would very well deserve it.

    This is not a flawless game, hence the 9/10, but it does nail two essential things - core gameplay and Spider-Man himself. 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

    The main story missions are fantastic but be warned if you're playing with younger children who enjoy the free roam play, some have violent scenes that suit the 16 rating - in one scene someones head is crushed purposely underfoot, off camera but.. Not for kids. Saying that my 5 year old could not enjoy the free roaming more and this part has no content to worry you. Some occasional teen bad language.

    The proper side missions are great with good stories but the collection missions used to buy gadgets and suits can get samey - but then again, it's always fun to get around!

    The only thing I don't like. The only thing. Immersion is sometimes broken by story plot points in audio that don't meet the scene you are in. For example as you land next to a character and then the background story audio is telling you how hard it will be to find that character. Not a biggie and only 3 or 4 occasions at 50% complete but it stood out. If not, this would have got a 9.5 ;)

    Deep combat, not too easy, great exploration and beautifully realised city. Fantastic!    … Expand

This game does almost everything right and is engaging from beginning to end. The opening moments of this game are memorable because of the graphical fidelity and the amazing feel of swinging around New York. The combat starts off simple enough where you can learn the basics without feeling overwhelmed and only expands from there. As you learn more moves the combat becomes more satisfying (especially when you learn how to pull enemies up to you and throw them down at another enemy). The gadgets are also very well done and can help turn the tide of a battle. Each gadget is unique and serves a purpose in a fight. Another great aspect of the combat is you can't simply button mash. There are a varied number of enemy types and many will kill you if you simply mash the attack button. Learning how to counter them so you can attack is important and also satisfying. One aspect of the game that isn't perfect is the open world collectables. These very from collecting Peter Parkers backbacks that he lost in High School, chasing down Pigeons for a homeless man, taking pictures of landmarks (which is actually fun), and more. I actually enjoyed these collectables (because I'm a trophy hunter) but many people may feel like this is tedious work. Luckily the web swinging feels amazing and getting from one place to another is also exciting and never gets old. There is a fast travel system will the subway but I very rarely used it because why would you? The world is beautiful and exploring it is even better. When you aren't swinging around you can walk around New York and see how realistic the population is. From people reacting to you, to actual street laws. The detail put into civilian life is simply amazing because you won't notice it 99% of the time. The different suits are also amazing and offer unique abilities which you can attach to your favorite suit. Finally, the main story is well done and engaging but not revolutionary. The way Insomniac created this original story that isn't based off any comic or film is worth mentioning. Seeing a character in a new light is always welcomed and I enjoyed that very much. The acting and motion capture is top notch and help elevate the story and writing. Once the story gets going you won't want to put the controller down. There are also a handful of side quests which are good but not necessary. There is one side quest that offers some unique gameplay but a majority of them are the same. Overall, Marvel's Spider-Man is a great game and improves upon all other Insomniac games and takes the best part of those games. I can't wait for the sequel which will no doubt improve upon this game!… Expand

    Story, now this is where the game wins me over completely. It is rare in any medium that characters feel like real people and even rarer still in a video game, the team who scripted, voiced, performed and animated these characters manage to bring such life into their characters and moments that bring you into their world. There were several moments toward the end that created genuine emotional responses that I am man enough to admit involved some wettening of the eyes.

    Anyhow, there is fast travel option available, but I feel it is totally pointless since the web Swinging is so smooth and perfect that you feel like traveling throughout the city!
    Nearly 40% of story is done, loved the upgrade system, three main types of power with support of many sub powers which let you decide what kind of combat you prefer to choose( stealth or just bring them on action). Suites appears to be awesome too. ( Yet to try one )
    Side missions seem to be enjoyable too.
    Story, appears to be bang on target.
    But where exactly it is lacking? I believe it's the length of the game... barely played for max 4 hours over all, did some sides and main 40% completed. I wish if the game was as lengthy as god of war and RDR2.
    Anyhow, it does not really catch up the standard of God of war and RDR2. But yes, this game is worth getting 9/10. Since it is enjoyable. You will feel the addictiveness after swinging Spiderman around NYC ❣️

Taking down villians like Fisk, Shocker, Electro, the Valture, Dr. Octopus, etc. may offer a slight challenge but with Spidey's athletic style combat you'll manage. Since I brought it up, let's talk about. The Combat seems Arkham inspired but it has it's own flow and it's actually very responsive and enjoyable. There also upgrades that can be unlocked towards Spidey gadget and different moves that you pull off as you progress. As far Graphics goes the game looks beautiful. Now I know some clowns might say "It looks a little Cartoonish" Which is true, however Spider-man is super hero tyoegame which is based on a comic book. Not to mention the game's textures, lighting, resolution, reflections and character models are beyond fine. So if you're someone yammering about that hook them! There are a few cons. The combat could use a little bit more vareity in it's combination, as well it's side missions. It does get boring taking out enimies the same way over and over, especially when they're in waves. One other thing is the MJ stealth sections. I don't know if they wanted to show there was playable female character to shut feminists. But honestly I don't like it.

    Pro: Love everything about spiderman, from his combat to the swinging traversal and variety of gadgets. The city looks great. The activities and challenges are plentiful and very enjoyable. The story is simple but satisfying. The performances/acting were great except for MJ ofcourse The music was masterful Cons: Some of boss fights could have been more challenging    Love this game.

    Cons: Some of boss fights could have been more challenging and varied. Alot of them were too easy and seem like repeated fights.
    Side mission were very lackluster, they definitely could have been better
    Alot of skins for spidey but only a handful look good enough
    Mary Jane and Miles sections were unnecessary and really screwed up the pacing of the game and story.

    My favorite PS4 game to this date. Now, to be clear, its not perfect. It had some bugs and I hated the missions with any non Spiderman Characters, but the rest of the game is so good I dont mind having to go through them. The story is great, gameplay is extremely fun and the game is BEAUTIFUL. Its a must play. i recommend it!

    First and foremost, Insomniac have made quite simply the most (and by quite some distance) fun character to exist in a 3rd person world. Traversing as Spider-man is both exhilarating and intuitive, which seems like it should be impossible to provide, however they have cracked

    Once you get the hang of it, swinging around the city is second nature. The combat is a little hard to get used to at first and I feel like it's made a little too difficult at times by swarms of enemies, forcing you to go in the air and to dodge bullets, but once you start flowing it's great. This dethrones Spiderman 2 as the gold standard of open world super hero games.

    Greatest Spider man game of all time
    Marvel’s Spiderman is a 15 hour long 3rd Person Action Adventure game extremely similar to the likes of the batman arkham games where you play of ocurse as spiderman, but not just spiderman…
    And this isn’t some origin story..which I would’ve loved, but youre 8 years deep being spierman, this spiderman has a history, hes taken some of my favorite villains down already.. but this also means there has to be a universe built around him where hes existed for 8 years..
    And Insomniac does a brilliant job doing this, especially thanks to this games collectables…
    Obviously theres a well written story here, but we’ll get to that later…
    Manhatten in Marvel’s Spiderman is so fun to swing around and grab its collectables.. im a sucker for map cleaners.. assassins creed is my favorite series of all time, and the open world here feels very much like an assassins creed game would feel, sync points to open up the map and show collectables, and I just loved hunting these things down, digging deep into the lore and universe I placed in..
    But as you swing around grabbing these collectables, and clearing out enemy bases youll earn tokens, youll also be able to stop crimes going on around the city for tokens as well to unlock new suits and gadget upgrades…
    Gadgets that are unlocked as the story progresses…
    And the story here is just brilliant.. so much emotion, humor, and character, every story mission feels unpredicatable, you never know if youll be crawling through vents and taking enemies out, if youll be brawling with a group of thugs, or thrown into and action set piece that makes this game feel like a movie at times, its thrilling the majority of the way through, however there is a massive chunk of act 2 that was just so boring and felt just so filler to me and unnecessary.. it was cool to get smacked with other spiderman villains, but these missions didn’t feel like they fit with the rest of the well polished and well thought out game… it felt like padding and I could’ve done without these final handful of villains the game makes you deal with, but the ending is worth it to get through this final slog…
    I also could’ve done without the stealth missions here… I didn’t mind the first one or 2.. but theres just way too much of it...
    Combat wise I was initially in love with everything about soider man… combat situations are open as if youre in the city, youre free to swing around, and you have plenty of gadgets by the games end to even the odds during these moments, much like the arkham games you have 2 striking options, and when an enemy is about to attack, your spidey senses start tingling giving you a brief window to dodge, which was so clever, I love how much sense it makes in this game for a little youre about to get hit indicator to pop up… however the combat for me by around hour 10 just starts to feel like a nussaince, its no longer fun or exciting, I would dread having to deal with enemies, especially towards the end as more annoying enemies are introduced…
    Unlocking new suits will give you new abilities to play around with.. but its just not enough to keep things interesting…
    Marvels Spiderman isn’t without its flaws…
    But this game is still great, for fans of spiderman or not.
    If youre a fan of action games, you owe it to yourelf to pick this one up

It's obviously ripped right out of the Arkham games, and still to this day I have no idea why people think that combat is fun. It's just boring. Spiderman's abilities make it a tad more fun for me than the Batman games but this button prompt method is just boring to me. It's the kind of combat that is built for looks not for gameplay. That's really the only thing I didn't like. The rest of the game more than makes up for it imo. If you are a fan of the Arkham games you will definitely like this game.

    Developer: Insomniac Games
    Platform: PS4
    Release Date: September 2018
    Play Time: 30 Hours

    Shortly after leaving the theater from being blown away by No Way Home, I remembered I had this game sitting at home waiting to be played. It quickly moved to the top of my priority list as the itch was there to be Spider-Man.

    This game is fantastic in all aspects with very little flaws. There is a reason it won 2018’s console game of the year and best action/adventure game. The story was great, predictable if you know a bit of the Spider-Man universe, but that never took away the emotion and suspense of it all. The ending was perfect. Build up of characters, impressive. Switching between a couple different main characters gave a nice break and allowed characters to shine.
    Even just the world setting of New York City was beautiful and an enjoyment to web sling from building to building. It says something about a game when they offer you quick travel in the map but you choose to manually sling your way across city blocks instead.

    Combat was the similar system of free flow combat seen in games like the Batman Arkham series and Shadows of Mordor. Using combos to knock out enemies, a counter system to dodge out of the way when your senses tingle, and build up enough focus you can perform a special takedown. Generally after playing so many games with that design I feel afraid I'll get bored of it but Spider-Man adds in a bunch of gadgets and tools to mix in with the fighting. Web bombs, trip mines, spider drones, electric webbing and the list goes on. It also adds a wide variety of enemy types that make you think fast on your feet on how to best deal with them.

    Even having the experience of those free flow combat games, Spider-Man has a degree of difficulty to it. Fail a dodge and you can lose 50% of your health instantly. There was always a sense of danger even when I reached the max level of 50 with maxed stats. Not ashamed to admit I died plenty of times from rocket launchers and big ol’ brutes giving me a haymaker.

    The small negative things I could say, with the variety of controls and things to map out on the controller, it took a minute to remember the layout if not playing consecutively. I typically play only on my days off when not busy so it can go 2-3 days in between plays. When I would load up the game and jump into combat it would take me a minute to remember all the combos or moves. Thankfully there is a built in move list in the pause menu.
    Also parts of the audio were extremely hard to focus on even with subtitles on. Being in the middle of combat and someone calling you about the next story beat, I felt I would miss special details or hardly remember what they said. Granted, maybe that is the feeling they wanted to portray as Peter is always taking a phone call when busy.

    Scoring:
    Story: 10 / 10
    Gameplay: 10 / 10
    Visual/Audio: 8 / 10
    Entertainment: 10 / 10

    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.

    I am an old school Spider-man fan, reading the comics from the 70's, 80's and 90's. It is these comics that my knowledge comes from Spider-man and what I compare to when watching a movie or playing a game. This is why the game got a nine out of ten, rather than a 10/10. The game is good and while I understand the story is most definitely an independent one, there were still aspects that II am an old school Spider-man fan, reading the comics from the 70's, 80's and 90's. It is these comics that my knowledge comes from Spider-man and what I compare to when watching a movie or playing a game. This is why the game got a nine out of ten, rather than a 10/10. The game is good and while I understand the story is most definitely an independent one, there were still aspects that I found did not fit certain characters and then there was too much time on some characters and not enough on others. There were also aspects of the game play that could have been improved upon too, so my complaints of the game are not totally directed out of changes to characters and certain story arcs. That being said, I still enjoyed swinging through New York and collecting things and trying to fight crime in the city!

    The story, Spider-man starts out taking down the Kingpin and this seems to set a whole lot of stuff in motion. A new criminal organization has emerged and its goal seems to be to cause as much damage to New York as possible to make Mayor Norman Osborne look bad. Meanwhile. Spider-man is helping out as a lab tech with his friend and mentor Doctor Otto Octavious. Otto seems to share the hatred that the new enemy targeting New York has and soon the doctor loses his mind and forms a team of villains to try and bring the city and Norman to his knees. Only Spider-man stands in their way along with some help from Mary Jane and Miles Morales!

    During the time I read the comics Dr. Octopus was Spidy's main villain. Venom had his moments, but Dr. Octopus was always there with some nefarious plan. He never knew Pete before the change, and I am not sure why this game and the movie had him and Pete share a mentor relationship. Sam Rami always professed a love for earlier Spider-man comics, but always took strange leaps like organic web shooters and such. He and this game make poor Otto seem sympathetic, but in the comics once he lost his mind, he never had regrets. They would later make Norman emerge again as the Goblin, but to me Doctor Octopus will always be Spider-man's most unique villain. To me, the Green Goblin is just The Joker with powers and a glider. The Sinister Six was also originally Doctor Octopus, Electro, Vulture, Sandman, Mysterio and Kraven the hunter who always gets ignored these days! Here, they have three of the original members, Doc Ock, Vulture and Electro and add the new villain, Mr. Negative and oldies but goodies Rhino and Scorpion. I was very disappointed when I could not fight each of these villains one on one, for some reason they really skimped on Electro, Vulture, Rhino and Scorpion.

    The game play is fun, what one would expect for a Spider-man game made since the game based on the second movie came out. A lot of swinging around New York and stopping crime. You also have side missions, collectibles and tokens to earn! The game keeps you busy that is for! What it needed though were some more villains of the super powered variety. It would have been cool had Shocker been running around the city when the criminals were running rampant and you could fight him occasionally and maybe a few others of the lesser known super villains. At times it can get repetitive fighting dudes in orange jumpsuits! There are also times when you take control of MJ or Miles and you have to get through areas without getting caught and they change up the pace.

    So, the game is good, I loved seeing Doctor Octopus as the main villain in the end, I was so fearful that Mr. Negative would end up being the leader of the Sinister Six. The fighting is fun, the story is rather good, but both aspects have flaws. Any story flaws I found, won't really affect any of the newer generation of comic book readers, I just came from a different time. The game play flaws, well at times you kind of wish there was more to do and those challenge tokens are a bit too scarce and hard to get! Overall, a really fun game and I look forward to playing the Miles Morales Spider-man one day.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I always expected Spider Man to be really good, but I didn't expect it to become the best Spider Man game ever, the best Superhero game since the Batman Arkham games.
    A beautiful open world, thrilling combat, and adrenaline-inducing web-slinging. Everything you'd want, Spider Man has it. Unfortunately, the side activities do tend to become somewhat repetitive, but are still worth pursuing to upgrade the spider suit and gadgets.
    However, the best surprise for me was the story. This game manages to create a likable and believable iteration of both Spider Man and Peter Parker, in addition to an ensemble of complex supporting characters and villains, each connected by equally complex relationships. Whether it be the love story between Peter and Mary Jane, the violent war between Otto Octavious and Norman Osbourne, or the fall from grace of Martin Li, all the characters feel like genuine individuals with morals and desires. The story also feature absolutely breathe-taking set pieces, epic boss battles, and unpredictable surprises, none of which I want to spoil.
    Spider-Man is a game that doesn't introduce anything ground-breaking, but it didn't need to. In the end. It's a game made by fans for the fans, both casual and hardcore. Definitely recommend it.    … Expand

    These collectibles may look boring, but are easy to collect thanks to the Spidey´s movement and the gear progression system based on tokens.

    For those saying the game is boring and repetitive i would like to point you in the direction of any Call of Duty or Fortnite or any "big named" multiplayer game which have incredibly shallow game-play and are extremely repetitive.

    This game is great. Story is perfect for spider-man.
    The combat is good too but it need some improvements.
    Swinging mechanics is great but it need something more to make it feel more engaging.
    Overall this game is one of the best spider man games to date. Looking forward for Marvel spider- man 2.

    Pohodova hratelnost. Sitovani po meste je velmi relaxujici. Kdyz se Spidermanem clovek vyleze na nejvyssi budovu a podiva se proti zapadu slunce tak je to nadherne. To same plati pro animace postav a vsemozne jine detaily.
    Pribeh je fajn a Spajdýho si clovek oblibi. Zaporaci a ostatni vedlejsi postavy jsou take v pohode. Pribeh zajimave graduje a rozhodne nedela ostudu.

    Hratelnostne je to dalsi open world kde ke konci hry je miliarda ukolu a vedlejsi blbosti. Z pocatku je to zabava ale pak je toho tolik ze se tomu radeji clovek vyhyba. Prvnich 5h jsem byl rozhodnuty ze se pokusim o 100% ale ke konci uz me to preslo :D

    Finally another great superhero game!!! I had a lot of fun swinging around new york city, it feels so smooth, and a few tricks you can do as well, the combat is fun, feels similar to the arkham games, which is great, but still has it's own feel to it. soundtrack didn't really catch my ear, but it reminded me of the Raimi films so that's good. I also love all the suits you can obtain, andFinally another great superhero game!!!

I also love all the suits you can obtain, and majority of them have their own powers, unlike the arkham games. The story is fantastic, should honestly be adapted to the big screen. Insomniac did an amazing job with this game, I cannot wait for the sequel, if your a fan of Spider-Man do yourself a favor and buy this game!!!… Expand

    To start with, I really purchased this game because I'm a huge Ratchet & Clank fan, and wanted to see what Insomniac could do with a different world.

I've ended up really loving the game so far, even though I was not that in to Spider Man before I got the game. They have really caught the feeling of what it would be like to swing around the marvel universe NYC (and it's very much the Marvel universe, with an Avengers tower and a Wakanda embassy among other things). Others have faulted the game for collectibles but I feel like they did a great job with them; I really enjoy picking up the backpacks and seeing what things they have, and I love the huge number of little side missions they have with things like the research stations or the pigeon fetching. I have a PS4 Pro and the graphics I think are amazing, part of why I like the side quests is I just really like swinging around the city. Happily, just when you get to the point where you don't want to swing around the city ALL the time they open up fast travel. MY only complaint would be some of the enemies feel a bit cheap and in some of the (mini?) boss battles it didn't seem like dodge was working properly (I'm looking at you, hellish electrical dude in the bank!!!). But I got through it ok with a bit of effort and the game has really sucked me in.… Expand

    This game is great. New York's atmosphere is captured beautifully, and is so alive. A big difference from Arkham City's empty city streets. General collections missions are pretty repetitive but not so much to completely bore you. Main story is fantastic. Stay for the post credit sequences!

    Spider-Man was an incredible fun game packed with insane moments that it is hard to forget, and the story was great. New York was awesome crafted that was full of lifes, and to be fair the combat was enjoyable aswell. This is a must buy.

    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.
