    Insomniac games is the best studio that made a Spider-Man video game. They gave their heart and souls in making of this masterpiece. I love every single thing of it. The graphics the game-play and the story. I want more Spider-Man.

    Gameplay:8/10 combos are fun, steal mission's add variety into the game but I can't help but feel there could be more nonetheless the gameplay is solid.

    Ultimately, the good outweighs the bad, and we are left with an adventure worthy of any Spider-fan's time--if not all the hyperbole.

The city looks amazing and feels quite alive, the graphics are spectacular (even the puddles for all the idiots who got enraged by screenshots that clearly were taken during different times of day), and the controls and movement feel sooooo fluid. Web slinging around the city is so engaging and surprisingly nuanced with the different moves and web launches you can do. The best aspect for me, however, is the combat. It. Is. So. Much. Fun. Once you get used to it and unlock some new moves the combat is highly addictive! I have so much fun swinging around waiting to get a notification of any crime happening nearby and excitedly rush in to beat the crud out of the scumbags haha.

    I'd say the biggest flaw in the game is the typical open-world mechanics in place. ''Go here to reveal this section of the map'', which in turn reveals a bunch of pretty generic missions and collect-a-thon type objectives, some of which are pretty boring. Rinse and repeat. The Mary-Jane missions are also mind numbingly easy and beige. Thankfully the overall gameplay is fun enough that you actually end up doing them all just because the swinging and fighting are super addictive. The story is also surprisingly good with some actual emotional highs and lows that are really effective in making you feel connected to the world, story and characters. The voice acting is a big part of this being true as it's mostly spot-on and convincing especially with the lifelike facial animations! Combine all of that with a pretty robust leveling system, which includes the usual skill-tree type progression along with a large selection of different spidey suits, each with their own unique ''ultimate'' power, perk slots on those very same suits and various unlockeable gadgets and gizmos which can also be individually upgraded to increase damage or area of effect etc etc. All-in-all there's lots to sink your teeth into if the game pleases you!

    Verdict: This is a really fun open-world beat-em-up style game with super slick controls, animations and visuals with a great story on top of it all. If you don't mind some occasionally repetitive ''side-missions'' then there's a lot of fun to be had here whether or not you're a Marvel/Spiderman fan with lots of content to get through and unlock. Check it out!

    A solid superhero game, with great graphics, good game-play and a predictable yet enjoyable story. Not really much more needs to be said. Unfortunately there was nothing about the game that blew me away. Everything felt safe to a degree but nothing blew me away. Still I think this is a must buy for Spider-Man fans and yes I'm a huge Spider-Man fan/

    Marvel’s Spiderman PS4 is by far one of the best games of 2018, and it is the best choice for all action and sci-fi fans to enjoy.

I have recently been playing games like 2K19, GTA V, and Battlefront, so getting to play a game like this was a nice refresher from the mass online multiplayer games which are normally more my style. Spiderman PS4 is an extremely immersive game. Aside from the engrossing narrative is an excellent set of web swinging mechanics, which combined with fun gadgets and plenty of puns, makes for great action in both the more open missions and in the quiet, confined corridors of tense sequences. The mechanics are truly great in this game, it is incredibly addicting to just swing around the city of New York for hours and with the combat system, there is a way to make each encounter with criminals unique. I probably can’t explain how many times I got goosebumps just from either watching Spiderman perform some spectacular feat or performing it myself, and the ending is so emotionally powerful it would make even non-marvel fans tear up. As far as pricing goes it is the same as pretty much any other current game at $50-$60, without deals or discounts applied, however I think that this game is worth it just because the sheer quality of content and the experience that you will get while playing. The deluxe version of this game is priced at $80, but before you get disgusted it includes three DLC chapters. These aren’t just random side missions and fillers they are all full stories almost like three additional games for just $30 extra. Spiderman PS4 is a game that I highly recommend to everyone even if you aren’t the biggest marvel fan or caught up with all the lore. It is worth every penny and is the best game released in 2018.

    We got better Spider-Man games in the past like Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions. The only good part of the game is the story and some graphic techniques..

    The story is amazing. It is the only thing that holds the game together for me. I like how they did with the characters that I know as a fan. But Silver Sable parts need to work out because she is very bipolar in this game.

    The story is amazing. It is the only thing that holds the game together for me. I like how they did with the characters that I know as a fan. But Silver Sable parts need to work out because she is very bipolar in this game. The DLC 3 sucks due to the boss and the story that the marketing tried to tell us. the whole "fool me once, shame on me, But fool me twice thing" with the two villain's plans, never good idea.

    But I'm not a fan of how some of them looked including Peter, Aunt May, and Mary Jane. But Miles is okay in my book for some reason that I don't know why. Peter is ugly looking. Aunt May is weird looking. Mary Jane isn't sexy. She is too cute for her damn job. Mary need to be more sexy, but have that independence in the game.

    The swing is okay. It is not amazing like everyone is saying. It is a water down version of Web of Shadows swing stuff. Web of Shadows's swing stuff is more faster and hard to master. But I mastered the swing during the tutorial.

    The combat is a downgrade from what we had. We can't fight on walls and run down them. Who's idea was that to downgrade that? I don't like that. When someone pointed that out, It ruined the game for me. My first score for the game was a 8. but every time that I found something out with the game.

    Then my favorite part to talk about - the music. The music is not bad. but not good for a Spider-Man game. It feels like it is from Avengers. It doesn't makes me feel like I am Spider-Man. Spider-Verse Score makes me feel like I am Spider-Man. Danny the composer for that film used the same techniques as this composer used. So that drives me crazy that one composer did a fresh take on something old and grey.

    Again, the story is the only thing that holds up for the game.

    Spider-Man for PS4 was a good time for me but not a must-play by any means. By the time I'd finished the DLC, I was beyond ready for it to end in spite of hardly touching its side-content. I had long-since zoned-out and been listening to podcasts while I played....

    It almost seems like a meme at this point but the combat 100% is derived from Batman Arkham. It offers enough changes and feels different enough to justify its existence but it is still derivative nonetheless. All-in-all, it feels a lot faster and appropriately lets you zip between enemies, giving it its own unique flavor. The stealth sections are here too and don't overstay their welcome but feel a little under-cooked. You also play as 2 other characters for a couple of sections but these are pretty groan-worthy, shoehorning in scripted stealth sequences where you're not able to make choices in how you approach problems.

    While the combat is Arkham, the overall structure leans more toward the Ubisoft-open-world model, with map-towers, crimes, collectibles, etc. If it resembles one of the Batmans in particular, it would be Arkham Knight for this exact reason, which most people had a more mixed response as a result. There's a million icons on your map and you could easily double your time if you engage with all of this stuff. It's tragically not that compelling though, and the main quest and especially the DLC have a lot of this fluff in them as well. Spider-Man's bag of tricks runs out reasonably quickly, turning it into a string of combat-enounters, chase sequences, cutscenes, hacking minigames, etc. It never dwells on anything too long but very few sequences in this game left a lasting impression. Thankfully, around 2/3 of the way through, NYC becomes overrun with crime and at this point, the campaign and open-world become a lot more interesting but I couldn't help wishing this had happened much earlier in the game. This is something the Batman games did at the start of their games, to great effect.

    The most disappointing thing about Spider-Man is its lackluster level design. Insomniac has crafted some of the best levels in gaming history with Spyro and Ratchet & Clank but here, they've shackled themselves to a realistic map of NYC that just isn't very interesting to explore. In spite of how much the visuals and detail have been improved in this entry, it's still no more interesting to explore than it was on the PS2. The real shame here is that the Arkham games actually have great level-design! In contriving various video-gamey settings like a city-turned-prison or snow-storm, the Batman games were able to have settings that were more interesting to explore and better lent themselves to a video game. This drove me to do every sidequest and find every riddler trophy throughout the whole series. Spider-Man, however, just has a bunch of generic buildings and pedestrians walking around everywhere. Ironically, the most interesting areas of the game are when it deviates from the open world and copies ideas outright from Batman with a great prison level and some dream levels that are a little to close to Batman for comfort.

    To sum up, the combat is good but derivative, the story is great, the mission variety is lacking but improves toward the end, and the side content and DLC fail to make compelling cases for their existences. To me, it's the definition of solid but nothing special. It might seem like I've made too many comparisons to Batman but Spider-Man is absolutely shameless in the way it borrows ideas and much of the game's world and structure is objectively worse than how Arkham City handled things 7 years earlier. Spider-man PS4 is significant to me in that it's where Insomniac has gone from being a leader to a follower. It's a very good game, especially if you're a Spider-fan but it fails to offer anything new or exceptional to gaming as a whole.

    Spiderman no es mi superheroe favorito y nunca me han gustado demasiado las películas ni los comics por eso estaba reticente con este juego, pero al final me encantó por su maravillosa jugabilidad.

    Gráficamente tiene un gran nivel, no son los mejores gráficos ni iluminación que puedes encontrar hoy en día pero son comparables a cualquier película de Marvel, sobretodo las caras y los gestos tienen un gran detalle.

    La historia es una excusa más para poder saltar de edificio en edificio tirando telarañas y luchar contra algunos matones y villanos típicos de la serie, mas allá no aporta nada. Remarcar el papel de Mary Jane y la importancia que le dan sin que sea la típica chica en apuros.

    Sin duda el punto importante es la jugabilidad y es que el Marvel´s Spiderman es el juego más divertido que he jugado en mucho tiempo (mi primer platino en ps4).
    El movimiento con las telarañas es muy fluido y pese a tener viaje rápido casi nunca lo utilizas porque prefieres ir balanceándote.
    El combate es perfecto, tienes gran cantidad de movimientos y los controles son muy intuitivos lo que te permite masterizarlos muy rápidamente y convertir cada combate en una performance con una coreografía improvisada sobre la marcha. Si es cierto que no hay gran variedad de enemigos, pero nuevamente prima la diversión, no importa la variedad de enemigos si los puedes derrotar de 50 formas distintas.

    El punto negativo es que llena el mapa de muchos coleccionables o actividades secundarias que resultan bastante repetitivas cuando quieres completar el mapa al 100%. Es bueno que existan tantos tipos distintos de actividades secundarias pero creo que una menor cantidad de cada tipo habría resultado mejor.

    En conclusión, me parece un juego muy bien pensado que nos recuerda para que jugamos: para divertirnos. Por tanto, lo recomiendo a cualquiera que le gusten los superheroes o las películas y juegos de acción, seguro que os va a divertir mucho.

    This game really blew me away. you do not control the camera so at times you will swing kick an enemy back into frame, it felt like I was playing a comic book. the controls reminded me of an old arcade beat em up in the best way. swinging trash cans into thugs, latching onto a jetpack guy and pummeling him while flying around, the boss fights, everything was wonderful.

The quick answer is yes, yes it is. End of review right? No I will tell you some reasons to why it is the best Spider-Man game ever made.

    It’s not just how Insomniac have managed to get a good combat system, sure for some it might just be like an Assassin’s Creed game. You counter when an indicator shows up on the screen then attack. In some ways that is correct but there is more depth to it than that the further you get into the story, the tougher the enemies get, then you need to know all the tricks up Spider-Man’s sleeve. Obviously that’s a big reason to why the game is fun to play, a good battle system can get you a long way. Easy to learn but takes some time to master. New York looking stunning is a plus too but graphics is never something that is a deal breaker to me, but a plus nevertheless. The swinging though, damn does it feel satisfying just to swing around the city even if it is just holding down a button and Spider-Man can do everything himself. You can of course do tricks and there is more to it than that but to get from A to B you just have to hold swing, release, hold again. Still it gives a Spider-Man fan great joy just to swing around, even with ease.

    What makes me say this is the best Spider-Man game ever made is not those things I previously mentioned though. No what makes this game incredible is the story, atmosphere and how it truly feels like you are Spider-Man AND Peter Parker. That last part is something every game has lacked. You have the romance with Mary Jane, Aunt May has an important role, the friendship with Harry Osborn etc. It’s all there and that is what makes this a complete Spider-Man game in my book. You need the Peter Parker parts to get into the characters, the love, the hate and feelings. That and how you face some of Spider-Man’s greatest villains of all time of course. I won’t spoil which though because for that you need to experience the game yourself.

    The only real negatives I got is I encountered quite a few minor bugs (parkour bugs, missions bugging out so I had to redo them) which did get tedious at times but mainly since I was going for the platinum and they happened more often along the way of side missions. Also initially the game did seem to be a very vanilla storyline that you’ve seen, read and played more than once before but trust me it gets better!

    Pros

    It’s a complete Spider-Man experience.
    Really fun to play.

    Cons

    I encountered quite a few small, but annoying bugs.
    Some of the storylines have been done a couple of times too many.

    At the end of the day the question is easy. Did you have fun? Without a doubt this game gives a resounding YES. What a fun game. Just web swinging in itself is such a joy (who need fast travel when you'd rather swing?).

    Yes some side bars could offer a little more variety but at least there's a reason to do them that unlock things you would want but don't necessarily have to have.

    This is a very polished and well-designed game. The web-swinging mechanics are as good as everyone is saying! You will feel like a Spider-man for 15-20 hours. This is the best superhero game I have ever played (which means better than Batman series).

The graphics are great and New York has never looked this good. The character design and face animation was incredibly good and does not sacrifice the color and flare of the comic books. There are some weird non playable character face animations and weird textures but overall very good. The sound of New York and the Spider-Man swinging across the city is spectacular. The voice acting is great and so is the music even though the score is very repetitive and some voice lines are repeated a lot. The story may be one of the best in the Spider-Man franchise and creates one of the best Peter Parker's we have seen yet. The writing is great, the characters are all well developed and the supporting cast is really lovable. The relationships of all the characters and the more mature and daring moments of the story are fantastic. Its filled with emotion and care and was very memorable. The traversal and movement is fast, fluid, and perfect. Its simple but the physics and wight of moving around the city has been perfected in this game, and is very flashy. The combat feels smooth and controlling Spider-Man feels great, bouncing around and beating the pulp out of crooks is amazing. The combos and stuff you can do are flashy and fun. Gadgets add some more creative ways to take out enemies as well. However the upgrades feel very shallow and don't leave much customization to the player. The boss battles while fairly simple are fun and engaging. Also the game even on the harder difficulties is relatively easy and the game seems to put to many enemies in one area at once causing combat to become overwhelming and chaotic at times. Its flawed but the combat is great and i can't wait to see what Insomniac does in future installments. Puzzles are relatively easy and can be quite fun but usually break the flow of the game. Stealth missions are obnoxious and also cause some pacing issues. The side missions use a lot of recycled content and a lot of chore like stuff that feels like it could have been much better. However the open world has a lot of other great content apart from the main story like the challenges, collectibles, and random events. Overall this game has certainty delivered an Amazing Spider-Man package with great combat, movement, and characters. Expand

    Questo gioco è molto bello! La trama è molto coinvolgente, il gameplay pure (anche se molte meccaniche sono state copiate da Batman Arkham Knight). Questo è anche un esempio di come anche gli altri supereroi possono avere giochi molto belli, facendo compagnia a Batman.
    Anche la trama dei dlc è molto bella.

    The best word to describe this game is "FUN" - It is not a particularly deep game. The storytelling is a bit predictable and shallow. The story is too light and empty for the emotional payoffs at the end to have any real weight. Swinging is great.

Porque este Spider-Man es eso, diversión pura. Los gráficos son excelentes, la música también es muy buena, en especial el tema principal, la historia me sorprendió de muy buena manera por la rapidez con que el jugador conecta no solo con Spider-Man, sino también con esta representación de Peter Parker, que para mi es incluso mejor que en las películas.
    Pero lo que hay que destacar por encima de todo lo demás, es la jugabilidad. Balancearse por la ciudad no se había sentido tan fluido y satisfactorio desde Spider-Man 2 de PS2, al menos en mi opinión. El sistema de combate también es excelente, fluido y ágil, que te hace sentir que tenés control total sobre el personaje y sus movimientos, ataques, etc. Las peleas tienen muchísimas posibilidades gracias a los diferentes gadgets que uno puede ir desbloqueando, así como los trajes, que cada uno tiene un poder especial por defecto. No es un sistema de combate innovador claro está, pero captura a la perfección el ritmo y la variedad de peleas que Spider-Man puede tener, también añadiéndole toques especiales de este personaje, y eso es lo que lo hace excelente. Las partes de sigilo no me parecieron malas. De hecho, arrastran la misma variedad del combate gracias a que podemos usar los mismos gadgets tanto para el sigilo como para el combate. Pero no se sienten tan satisfactorias o impactantes, incluso si las hacemos a la perfección.

    Esto me lleva a hablar de los puntos negativos (SPOILERS):

    . Mary Jane: sí, durante ciertos segmentos controlamos a Mary Jane, pero son únicamente misiones de sigilo que se nota que solo están ahí para añadir tiempo de juego, es decir, de relleno. Con el tiempo se vuelven pesadas y estás esperando terminarlas lo antes posible para volver a controlar a Spider-Man.

    . El espaciado irregular en las peleas contra jefes: apenas empezar el juego, peleamos contra un jefe. Poco tiempo después, peleamos contra otro. Pero después hay una increíble brecha de tiempo en la que no nos enfrentamos a ningún peso pesado. Pasada esta brecha, es prácticamente un jefe tras otro hasta el final del juego. Las peleas son todas de alto nivel, eso seguro. Pero están mal repartidas a lo largo de la historia.

    . Misiones Secundarias: si bien algunas son muy buenas, como la de Tombstone, la mayoría sufren de el síndrome "mandado". Son las típicas misiones que implican "andá a tal lugar, traeme tal cosa o salvá a tal persona". En mi opinión se podrían haber trabajado y pulido un poco más. Me divertí más incluso con los desafíos de Taskmaster.

    . La presencia de DLCs: es una lástima que este juego no se haya salvado de caer en la tendencia del Season Pass. Este consta de 3 DLCs con posibilidad de haber más. Si bien no tiene un precio desorbitante como los Season Pass de otros juegos, tranquilamente podría haber sido contenido incluido en el juego base. No aprendieron de God of War.

    Para mi es un sólido 8 porque incluso con sus puntos negativos, es un juego culpable de brindar muchas horas de diversión y contenido. Incluso si no sos un fan de Spider-Man, deberías darle una oportunidad. Yo no soy un fan y aún así lo disfruté muchísimo.

    If you’re a fan of Spiderman or action games and own a PS4, this game is a must play. With that out of the way, the main reason being it just does everything with such a degree of skill and it has huge attention to detail to it that’ll make anyone who even is remotely a fan of the source material or action games want to check it out.

    The graphics are beautiful. Everything has a great look to it. Even buildings have small details, such as windows where you can see what’s inside the windows. This level of detail goes throughout the entire game. If you own a PS4 pro, the HDR effect is great and it looks beautiful on a good 4k TV with HDR. The game only runs at a locked 30 FPS but that’s fine, it doesn’t drop frames, at least anything that I’ve noticed and it’s very smooth as a result. The fast-paced action looks great, though while I would’ve loved a 60 FPS mode, the decision to keep it 30 might be for the best since everything just looks great. Even the NPC’s all look different enough to not feel like they just copy and pasted five models.

    The combat is very much different from the Arkham games. While the skeleton of that type of game is apparent, it is more vertical and exhilarating. The combat due to the nature that is Spiderman’s character is very fast paced. The combat is challenging and even on the ‘easy’ mode, it feels challenging. You can’t really mess up that much and healing is linked to combos it can be challenging to stay alive, especially if you made a few mistakes. Thankfully, checkpoints are very generous.

    It’s not perfect though, it has these forced stealth sections and puzzles. The puzzles aren’t that bad, if you take too much time to do them, you can skip most of them but the stealth sections don’t have this luxury. Thankfully, these sections aren’t that long and are over pretty quickly and are not that challenging but it feels out of place. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to have variety but the game could’ve been better without them. It has them to try and show different points of view, yet in a game about Spiderman, that’s all I really wanted to play as.

    It’s not a dealbreaker though. If anything, it’s just a minor annoyance and while an update that would give you an option to skip them would be the best thing ever, I’ve seen much worse. They felt out of place, unfortunately. The puzzles, are not that bad though and like I said, most can be skipped if you’re just not good at them, which is nice. They can be challenging and for those who like that kind of stuff, there is plenty to do.

    The game’s campaign is about 15 hours long. There are side missions that most are enjoyable, some felt like filler but I enjoyed most of the side missions. There are also different things you can do like a typical open world game. If you really wanted to do everything, you could easily spend 40-50 hours with this. There are also RPG elements. I like RPG’s so I didn’t mind them and I liked the progression, with getting stronger, faster and having more move sets. It’s not a full on action RPG but there are bits and pieces that make it feel like one at times.

    The story is good. It feels like you’re playing through a new Spiderman Trilogy. There are three acts. The first act is interesting enough, gives a proper introduction to the threat going on. The second act gets a bit repetitive and just when you feel the game might be getting a bit predictable, it throws a great plot twist and throws you into the third act. The third act is nothing short of fantastic and exciting. The third act truly does make up for a rather slow second act and fully worth the investment to get through it.

    So with that being said, despite its small pacing issues and the forced stealth sections, it’s still an amazing game well worth the money. Of course, these issues, if they were not there or corrected would’ve made this easily a 10/10 in my eyes, despite that, I give it the highest 9/10 I can.

    It’s truly fantastic and everyone should play it. Unless you hate Marvel or something.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Do you feel connected to the Raimi trilogy? Do you want to turn back to the old days when being Spider-Man meant more than shooting webs, or running on walls? If so, this game will satisfy you.

    The story of a video game is the priority, when the game is about superheroes. This is why Spider-Man PS4 is one of the best superhero games that recently came out. The events that happen throughout the story forces Peter to make difficult choices, and reflects the burden of being a hero. For example, Peter lets Aunt May die, to save countless other lives at the end of the story. This is an extremely tragic event, and could even be regarded as audacious. Nevertheless, it conveys the morals of Spider-Man, as any Spider-Man story should do.

    The gameplay is entertaining, but could be improved in many ways. Insomniac did not really focus on developing wall climbing, which is probably because most of the time and energy was spent on web swinging. Combat is fun, simply because it's not repetitive. You can try out many different things each time you get into a fight. The game lets you use your creativity to take down the enemies.

    Spider-Man PS4 does what a superhero game should do, therefore, it deserves a 9.

    Then out of the bloom at E3 2016, Insomniac Games, the developers of the Spyro and Ratchet and Clank series alongside Sunset Overdrive was tasked to make a Spider-Man video game. I lost my mind. We had to wait two years for the game to come out but man was it worth it.

    Great story, colorful cast of characters, terrific voice acting, beautiful graphics even on a regular PS4 and fun game play is what you expect in this game. There is a variety of stuff you can do in the game and tons to collect. Interact with the streets of New York City and stop crimes. This is the most definitive Spider-Man game I've played. Many people compare the combat to the Arkham games and I can see that, but I get a more Spider-Man 2 Movie Game vibe when fighting baddies. Just think of the game combining the two games together. And web swinging is fluent and fast. I didn't use fast travel a whole lot because of how good it was to swing.

    The only gripe I have is that, while there is plenty of stuff for you to do in the game, it does get a bit repetitive at points.

    Besides that, this is a must own for Spider-Man fans like me. And even if you aren't one, then I think this game could change your mind.

    THE BEST open-world ps4 game of 2018. You will be surprised when you'll fights about 5 minutes but it'll be not bored for you.
    Pluses:
    Fights, World, Graphic, Sound, J.J.JAMESON OF COURSE. It's a new universe - "Marvel's Game Universe", that's also plus for me.
    Minuses:
    Storyline. Yes, storyline is a minus of this game but it meant that it is worse than some GOTYs like God of War and RDR2.

La historia parte de distintos villanos de los comics y los junta en solo un videojuego para que asimiles que va a ser bastante difícil y tambien relacionado con la historia, empieza en un In Media Res siendo casi un Extrema Res, una técnica que no se suele utilizar en los videojuegos y por ello me sorprendió. Es SÚPER divertido explorar el mapa porque el control del personaje es alucinante con un balanceo muy intuitivo y práctico además de que te animan a ello con misiones secundarias como encontrar mochilas...

    Ahora bien, ¿por qué le doy una nota tan baja pese a ser todo buenas criticas? Sencillo, EL JUEGO ES MUY CORTO. Tardé literalmente 3 dias en pasarme el juego y 5 dias en pasarmelo al 100%.
    No puedes vender un juego a 60-70 euros tan corto de pasar y que luego quieras venderme un DLC para ampliar la historia. NO. MAL. Otro de los problemas que tiene es que no es rejugable, ha sido una experiencia buena pero corta.

    Conclusión: Espérate a que el juego esté en rebajas o cómpralo seminuevo, no merece la pena comprarselo nuevo.

Plot: In the beginning it seemed to me that it would be something like Amazing Spider-Man 1,2, all because the introduction is quite similar to the previous parts, but after I realized that this is a masterpiece (Thanks for the ending Insomniac Games). Action: this is also a masterpiece, this part of the game from Insomniac Games was 100% successful (And I do not understand people who say "That copy from Batman, everyone can, nothing new" firstly, what’s wrong, that the developers take the best and insert This is a game, and secondly, this is not a copy of Batman, check it out. Checkpoints are a separate topic here I do not understand the logic of Insomniac Games, how would we add stealth, but there’s no point in it, why it was impossible to do this: if a person has passed 1 wave on stealth, then the waves will not continue further, otherwise it’s kind of stupid you walk in stealth and here opponents notice you sharply. There are a huge amount of references. I also liked the idea of ​​scientific stations, which is quite interesting. As for portfolios that can be found all over the map, in any other game I would not care for it and I’d definitely not I did, but in this game everything is done correctly, you will learn what is new about the history of Peter.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spider-Man is the type of game that makes it very clearly that the developer put a lot of thought into making. Insomniac has crafted the best Spider-Man to date. By bringing in Dan Slott, the team at Insomniac has manged to create a story that feels like it is taken directly out of Spider-Man comic book. The story is near perfect, although I find the choice to ditch Mr. Negative in the Third Act for assembling the Sinister Six to be unnecessary. The Sinister Six would have been better set up by this game and then become the main villains of the sequel. With already such great writing around the character of Martin Li, I just wish that Insomniac had been a bit more patient with their storytelling, but nevertheless the story that is in this game is the best Superhero story in a video game (even better than any plot from the Arkham series). Peter Parker's relationships with various characters are also very well written. Never before have I found myself caring so much about Aunt May or MJ.

    Combat is good and is just distinct enough when compared to the Arkham/Shadow series that it doesn't feel like Insomniac did a copy paste. Spider-Man has plenty of different types of webs to allow you to take down most goons in whichever way you see fit. However the game does suffer from a lack of enemy variation. There are two main strategies when approaching enemies one being to simply punch them into the air and then hit them while no one can touch you or to dodge the enemies' attacks and then spam R1 to web them. By Hour 30, the combat begins to feel a bit repetitive and there are no new enemy types introduced in the third act keeping combat the same for much of the game.

    Stealth is initially fun as it is a faster pace than to what is found in Metal Gear, Assassin's Creed, Arkham, and Shadow games, but by the end of the game stealth becomes extremely repetitive as there are only 2 takedown types and 3 or so viable stealth webs. Nevertheless, the Spider-Man stealth sections are still spaced far enough away that they are fun to play especially to play aggressive.

    The game ultimately suffers in its open world aspect. While Insomniac's recreation of Manhattan is fantastic, the side missions are very repetitive and despite 1 or 2 standouts basically revolve around going to X location and beating up a gang, rinse and repeat. This is one of the few open world games where the story is 100% better than the side content. Swinging around NY feels great though and although it is cliche, this game DOES make you feel like Spider-Man. Swinging controls will occasionally get frustrating, but are for the most part solid.

    Overall Spider-Man is a fantastic game that offers roughly 30 hours of content with about half of that being the superb story and the other half repetitive and mostly lack luster side content. Spider-Man is still a fantastic game that I would recommend to any fan of action games or the character himself.

    It is rare that I will give a game as beloved as "Marvel's Spider Man" a rating this "low". Some might think its just me being contrarian to the popular opinion but then again that can be said about scores for a lot of popular games you will see even on YT.

    Graphically this game was spectacular and despite all of the controversy that it got for the "downgrade" that issue never existed.
    It is rare that I will give a game as beloved as "Marvel's Spider Man" a rating this "low". Some might think its just me being contrarian to the popular opinion but then again that can be said about scores for a lot of popular games you will see even on YT.

    Graphically this game was spectacular and despite all of the controversy that it got for the "downgrade" that issue never existed. I had some minor issues with glitches where guys came through walls but nothing that really took me out of the game in that department to break it.

    Storywise...you kind of knew where this was going to go because ,if you looked the trophies (and I did) you already had your idea of where this game would be going as far as the main story path so...no real shock especially even if you had a "base knowledge" of Spider-Man (and I did despite my big franchise that I cared about being that of X-Men so there is that to consider.

    My big problem? Controls believe it or not and some side content

    I'll tackle "side content" first

    I play a lot of open world games. One of my favorites of recent memory is Sleeping dogs which I have 100%'d the collectibles at least twice. This game had its collectibles and its special puzzles to do but the thing is that in order to do some of the content you had to wait for it to come around and this becomes an issue especially when the game "progression locks" you (which should never HAVE to be done. The point of "side content" is just that...its optional so you can progress the storyline!

    For some reason Insomniac decided it was a great idea to make the story (which is all of three acts long) lock itself at times behind side content. Only when you played a certain # of missions did you get the opportunity to play the story again so being able to get through the game as quickly as possible...not that easy!

    I mean look: Watch Dogs (which is not as bad a game as some make it out to be) had a lot of side content to do BUT you COULD just steamroll through the story and just do that if you wanted (and some did but you would miss being able to hack phones ,see cool side content, and the like so by skipping that you would be missing out on a lot in the world. By being forced to do some side content in Spider-Man you kind of are basically told

    "We don't care what YOU want to do because you HAVE to play the game this way"

    Yes this is an irritant with me if you can't tell

    Now as much as I complain about it you know my favorite side quests? Sable Outposts and I admit the main reason is cos the woman that runs Sable I actually liked. I think in some twisted way she was one of the characters that found a way to endear herself to me BETTER than some of the other characters (and that's a shame cos I actually like Doctor Octopus a lot).

    (The only thing that sucked about Sable is I legitimately can't remember the woman's name...help a brother out?!)

    Controls were a weird mixed bag cos trying to get used to NOT having a "proper counter" button (Hello "Sleeping Dogs") was one of the things I wrestled with and even swinging through the city sometimes the web swings wouldn't detach when I wanted them to which will cost you in the "Taskmaster" challenges. I SHOULD have had one a couple of times but the game didn't register when I was trying to let go and it cost me a lot. Maybe this is just my controller but when you have an issue like this cost you its plenty frustrating in a legitimate sense!

    All in all is the game bad? No but I am harder on AAA games than indies because I expect a lot more from my $$$ than i feel Insomniac could give me for this price tag. Catch it on a sale and trust me its not bad but for the $60...its just above average for me and that is depressing to say

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

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

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

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

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. If you aren't a fan of the Arkham games I would still suggest you try it. Im'm guessing that is you don't like the Arkham games it's because of the combat, but again Spiderman is still incredibly fun. Just try it. 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.
