    Apart from a few web swinging issues. This game is the DEFINTIVE spider man experience. And I have played every 3d Spidey game to date. Its so much fun and has a story that made me stay up all night waiting for the final DLC to come out. 9/10 so close to perfection

    I think overall the creators did a good job with this game & I had a lot of fun with it.

    The combat is where the game really shines. You get to swing around, do crazy web moves, launch guys in there air, make use of wacky gadgets, and otherwise just go nuts on the bad guys.

    The story was pretty interesting. I am not familiar with a ton of Spiderman, so I didn't know a ton of the backstory going into it. Even so I found it to be accessible & never really got lost in what was going on despite not knowing. I found the narrative to be engaging & the characters were interesting.

    My biggest complaint about the game is about its overworld, exploration, point a to point b stuff, the in between action sequences. The web swinging is certainly a cool way to get around and I had fun with it for a while, but the game does it mostly on autopilot and it gets a bit stale.

    Then there's the open world aspect to the game, which I found to be somewhat lacking in depth & uniueness. Maybe I'm just played out on open world games in general, but I found this one to be pretty run of the mill. I think a great open world game should encourage free exploration. Instead Spiderman uses the tower system where you find a tower, press a button, and the game shows you where all the interesting stuff is. Then you go to those places instead of truly exploring. You end up playing the game on the minimap. The interesting stuff includes landmarks, collectables, fights, outposts, mini side missions. Some of these were great, some not so much, and a lot of them felt like the same stuff you get out of every open world game.    … Expand

    -Brilliant Combat system : At first, it looks like Batman, but once you played for a while, it has its own style. In Batman, you have to react to the enemy's actions but in Spider man, you can play which way to like. You have more freedom. You can keep shooting web if you want to.
    -Unique creative way of traveling around town. Swinging around never been this fun.

    Cons
    -Story is not really interesting until near the end game
    -People in the world feel unreal. You mostly cannot interact with people in the street at all.
    -Graphic does not feel impressive. Spider man looks fantastic but the environment looks lack of detail.
    -Stealth sections of side characters, sometimes feel repeptitive.

    In sum, Spiderman is an awesome game that everyone should give it a try. Fluid fun combat is where Spiderman shines. Story, however, can be improved as well as the world environment. I still think Batman is better game overall for a 1-2 step ahead, but surely Spiderman is right behind. I would love to play Spiderman 2. This game has much potential for the sequel to be even greater game.    … Expand

    The name of the game if Spider-Man but somehow the creators of the game decided that every other story mission was going to be Spider-Man's girlfriend, intrepid reporter Mary Jane, ducking behind shelves and desks, or Peter Parker going to work and solving a Pipe-Dream style puzzle. One mission is literally Peter going to his aunt's work, finding her office, and sleeping on her couch.The name of the game if Spider-Man but somehow the creators of the game decided that every other story mission was going to be Spider-Man's girlfriend, intrepid reporter Mary Jane, ducking behind shelves and desks, or Peter Parker going to work and solving a Pipe-Dream style puzzle. One mission is literally Peter going to his aunt's work, finding her office, and sleeping on her couch.

    If you played Arkham Asylum and thought, "Why aren't Bruce Wayne and Alfred in this more? I want to go to some board meetings at Wayne Enterprises!" or "Not enough unskippable dialogue!" and "I wish all the cool Batman villains were NOT in this," buy Spider-Man for PS4.

    There are fun parts! The facsimile of Manhattan is great! Sure, they give up around 34th Street, you can't go to Brooklyn or Queens, but it's very cool. Taking pictures of the monuments and landmarks is great, but what's that, a couple hours? Climbing up buildings is great. Web swinging is great - certainly better than sitting in traffic in awful games like Grand Theft Auto. But it wears out its welcome soon. And travel is awkward. There's no Stop button. Every button does something, and that gets old _fast_. The combat is the same. There's about 20 different commands to memorize (until you upgrade your skills and there are 30) which, again, if you think sounds fun, go for it. The actual action of the game is Spider-Man jumping and dodging away from stock, faceless villains with bats and guns. About a quarter of the way through, they get nicer masks, electric bats and bazookas. You can't make this up. There's literally more variety of enemies in Mega Man 1 stages.

    Spider-Man's famous villains are all constantly mentioned, but you're... not allowed to fight them. You just hear about their alter egos in the story.

    Spider-Man feels half-done. New York is not fleshed out. You hear the same banter on the streets over and over. The crowds in Assassins' Creed are more realistic, and that was ten years ago. The game even tells you you're not supposed to be on the streets. Also who knew so many people were getting robbed on rooftops? And never the ones where there's a pool or a restaurant -- just the ordinary, boring rooftops. The story feels like a prelude to one where Osborn becomes the Green Goblin. The main villain here, Mister Negative, is just lame.

    I'm sure after all these "TEN OUTTA TEN"s there will be a sequel which somehow the critics feel has done the impossible and gone to eleven, or they will admit the faults then.    … Expand

    This game is boring.......soooo boring. First 4 hours were ok, but after that there is nothing keeping me to continue to finish the story. Graphics are nice, but nothing more. Swinging is fun in the game's begining, but after 6 hours of swinging from one corner of the map to the other you start to see how ugly the city is and how unsatisfying the traversal can be.

    I love INSOMNIAC previous games but this one is not going to do good for them. Maybe they got good sales, but if they continue doing Spiderman 2 as boring as this one theirs sales will be below expectations. I played previously Darksiders 3 and I tought that it will be a trash, instead it surprised me at how good it was ( ignoring the frame drops and bugs). But I had big espectiations from Spiderman and it failed me. The only positive thing about spiderman is optimisation.

    "Spider-Man" for PlayStation 4 is the "Spider-Man" game I never knew I wanted, but I'm so glad that I got it: rumors first abounded in 2016 that it was Sucker Punch, not Insomniac Games, that would be creating a new "Spider-Man" game, and given the work they put into "Sly Cooper" and "inFamous," I was already hitting the hype-thrusters.

Eventually, at E3, we learned it was actually Insomniac, the people behind "Spyro," "Ratchet & Clank" and "Sunset Overdrive" making the game...but screw it, I love Insomniac, too, so keep those hype-thrusters rolling! Marvel was finally out of the whole Activision deal and announced they were working with the best game devs to make titles that would be faithful to their characters (still waiting on that "Avengers" project, Square Enix) and my excitement was through the roof! And as more and more gameplay was being shown, I had a feeling it would be something special, potentially even eclipsing the high-standard set by "Spider-Man 2" back in the day. And let me tell you, it does more than eclipse that.
    "Spider-Man" for PlayStation 4 plays like a dream. Never has swinging around the city felt more emphatic, and the combat even feels refined and exciting. The boss fights are tense but rewarding, and general combat is fun and rather challenging as well. I've heard some critics complain about the game's world, but i personally find it to just be brimming with excitement, and the city leaves a huge impression on you even after the game is finished. Hell, even looking at the city alone is worth it, because the game's visuals are spectacular: the city is beautiful, the game is brimming with color, and the cinematics are well-designed, too. The gameplay is varied, the storyline is emotional and fantastic in how it deals with themes of hard choices, and the characters are as charming and lovable as you remember (I especially like the dynamic between Peter and MJ's relationship, it's so easy to root for them).
    There's not much I can complain about here, this is easily one of my favorite games of the year, and one of the best superhero games I've ever played. It more than eclipses "Spider-Man 2," it sets a new standard for Marvel games that many future games may struggle to reach (well, except the potential sequels, but still). From a film standpoint, "Homecoming" and, recently, "Into the Spider-Verse" seem to be proving that Spidey's still kicking and avoiding franchise fatigue, and this game does little to dispel that notion: it only proves that Spidey's hitting on all cylinders now. If you haven't gotten to play this game yet...well, what are you waiting for? Go play it!

    I'm not usually a fan on this genre, but the idea of swinging around the city pulled me in. I did not regret my decision, what an amazing game.

    There is also something about the pace and the setting of the game that feels a little bit off. It feels like you are jumping from gameplay area to gameplay area without it feeling coherent enough which ruins the immersion. And the world itself, even though it’s pretty, feels un-interactive and bland.

The swinging is fun and not to complex or simple and it feels great and never gets old. The combat is very fleshed out and easy to understand. Its satisfying and you earn gadgets and different moves along the way to spice it up. Through the first 2 thirds of the game the enemy variety was very good, however instead of increasing the difficulty of enemy's the game throws more at you and it makes battles overcrowded and the combat gets repetitive. The Story surprisingly was my favorite part because it gave us a true Spider-Man tale with action, humor, love, and heart. The characters all feel real and the relationships they have all work into an interesting interconnected web (Pun intended) and interesting plot loyal to fans of Spider-Man and people who know nothing about him. However the most mixed bag in this game is the side quests and other missions. Sure the Backpacks, stakeouts, bases. and the occasional research station are fun, but a good chunk of it is incredibly tedious and boring tasks that feel like chores. Overall this game is flawed but a great blast to play for anyone who loves action and adventure video games.… Expand

    The story alone is 10/10- but the game isn't without flaws. NPCs can get caught in walls and terrain and it really kills the moment.

    Despite some irritating stealth missions, this game is AMAZING (pun intended). The swinging feels great, the combat is fun, and all the extra things to collect are fun to collect because it just makes you swing around more. The story itself is phenomenal. Definitely a must-buy for PS4 owners.

    Hay muchas cosas por mejorar, entre ellas la variedad de misiones ya que el juego se vuelve algo repetitivo con el tiempo. Se reclama que Insomniac no ha sido muy innovador ya que toma muchas cosas de juegos como los Batman de Rocksteady, pero opino que era necesario para partir de un buen terreno, y es un tema que tendrán que corregir en alguna futura entrega.
    Sin lugar a dudas si eres seguidor de Marvel o de Sider-Man no te pierdas éste juego, es un exclusivo que merece la pena tenerlo si tienes una PlayStation 4. Para mí ha sido una gran experiencia que disfruté de principio a fin, y me dejó con ganas de más.    … Expand

    That being said, there ARE some glaring flaws in this release. The graphics, while mainly great, can sometimes take a dip in quality (we're talking The Polar Express levels of uncanny valley with some of the facial animation.) . The side content doesn't always feel too special, either. At times, it feels like you're just collecting to check off boxes and raise completion rating to fulfill some OCD- centered tick that these open-world games have been breeding in gamers. These flaws, however, don't distract from the fact that this is in fact an amazing game that is definitely worth a buy.    … Expand

    You can feel the love that insomniac has put into this title, from references to how masterfully the world is crafted. Everything in this game has been refined and perfected. The 1 thing that doesn't make it a 10 is that a lot of the missions are kind of stale. Which doesn't matter too much when the combat is this addicting.

    Spider Man was one of the most exciting announcements back in 2016 at E3. When looking at that game most people thought that this game would pretty much play like the Batman Arkham games except it would be faster given how Spider Man moves when he fights. The other great announcement was that it was being developed by Insomniac Games who are responsible for great games like SunsetSpider Man was one of the most exciting announcements back in 2016 at E3. When looking at that game most people thought that this game would pretty much play like the Batman Arkham games except it would be faster given how Spider Man moves when he fights. The other great announcement was that it was being developed by Insomniac Games who are responsible for great games like Sunset Overdrive, Ratchet and Clank, and Spyro. So with great development team taking on a well established IP like Spider Man, it’s difficult not to get excited about this game. And when the game finally came out and I got to finally experience the game for myself I was left extremely satisfied. This game is not only one of the best games of the year but, this version of Spider Man is my favorite interpretation of Peter Parker and Spider Man.

    Looking at the story of this game, Peter Parker has been Spider Man for some years, the games starts with him going after Wilson Fisk. Before Spider Man can finish of Fisk, Spider Man is warned that because he is sending Fisk to prison no one can protect the city from what is going to happen. And as you progress through the game you are introduced to the Demons and Mr. Negative. There is a lot that goes on during the story that helps make this one of the best if not the best adaptation of Spider Man in the world of entertainment. Without spoiling the story, this game does a great job at not only showing us the Spider Man many grew up either reading about or watching shows and movies about him, but this game also does what some of the movies really haven't done as well which is make you feel for both sides of the character. Peter Parker in this game is excellent, there are many times during this game where you just feel for the guy, and you see the difficulties he goes through because there is more of a priority on being Spider Man than his life as Peter Parker and because of that his life and relationship is affected by that job.

    The only thing that I had a problem with the story involves the villain of the game. Mr. Negative has the blueprints of a sympathetic villain at first but, the game doesn’t really go in depth with that side of the character. There is one scene where you see a moment with Mr.Negative not liking that he is about to resort to a life of crime. In another scene later on in the game tries to help make him sympathetic, I thought it was a little too late to add that layer because at that point I didn’t have that much of a connection to the character that it was only a moment saying "damn that sucks for him" and that's it. There is another character introduced half way through the game that seemed like a fight was going to occur at some point and it never happens. There are other characters in the game that really left a great impression and I'm excited for when they show up in the eventual sequel to this game.

    The one thing that was evident when a lot of us saw the gameplay footage of Spider-Man was that this game basically looks like a faster version of the Arkham games. And after playing the game that is mostly true for the most part. The combat is quick and showcases the difference between Batman and Spider-Man. Batman was brutal in his fights you would see him break criminals bones before knocking them out. Spider Man drops quips as he is taking down criminals or if you want to make combat situations less stressful he can be stealth and when the moment is right you combat the remaining enemies. Another main difference I feel when comparing the Arkham games and this one is that in the Arkham games, there were moments you are in a room filled with armed enemies it felt impossible clearing that room of enemies unless you use stealth. In Spider Man it felt like his speed is what helped make those situation less of an issue. So what was almost impossible to do in one game, in this game you can clear a room and with style.

    Another great aspect of this game is exploring the world you are in. In Spider Man it feels great web swinging through Manhattan and the world is lively. If you wanted to interact with the people of Manhattan you can it may be minor like throwing finger guns at people like in Spider Man 3 only this did it better. Or if there is an active crime going on in the city, you hear a police radio talking about a crime occurring near your area and like that you can stop a robbery, help civilians in an accident, look for a missing person, ect.

    Spider-Man is easily one of the best games of the year and not only that but, it’s also one of the best adaptations of Spider-Man. This is another great exclusive that can only be played on PS4 and if you didn’t have one before this game, now The gameplay is quick and the humor Spider-Man displays is another thing that helps enhance the experience. The small complaints I have for this game honestly excites me more for the sequel because I can easily see the next game being even greater.    … Expand

Although I could imagine there being more of it for those non-hardcore marvel fans, which don't quite understand the details and motivation of the other villains beside Dr. Octopus and more understanding would certainly help. Also maybe more personal interaction than just people calling Spider-man to deliver snippets of story and next objectives felt little bit out of touch. The entire part with people just randomly calling spider-man seemed weird. Fortunately only interesting and important people called, at time of plot convenience.
    But outside these positives, I really hated the grind and drag of the side-objectives, trying to clean up each of the districts. Maybe it was because I left most of the clean-up towards the end of the game, but it all seemed very repetitive and overall frustrating necessity to unlock gadgets to help me with tougher encounters.

    I wish the open world had more to do, the same 5-10 different types of open world crimes get highly repetitive after awhile. The pacing of the story is, at times, relatively slow and the narrative often takes the drivers seat while enjoyable gameplay gets pushed to the back, mostly in the Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and Mary Jane specific sections of the game. These could have been approached in a less linear sense and perhaps could have been more enjoyable but they often force the game to a standstill. Other times, on multiple occasions, Spider-Man is being delivered a monologue and all you're doing is hopping along like a frog, or dare I say jumping spider, and listening. And listening more. When I compare this to the way God of War delivered an A+ narrative experience without taking me out of well paced gameplay, using set pieces and cinematics to move the narrative in surprising, exciting, and creative ways, I feel as though Spider-Man could have done so much more here. The potential is here in droves, and I still love this game to death and will continue to play it for years to come, I just hope insomniac can take the time to craft a quality sequel that takes everything this game created as a foundation to truly flesh out this world in a more engaging way. I stand by my original review for those of you who have yet to experience this game, it's not one to miss out on, but this isn't the 10/10 many of us were anticipating. Still an absolutely amazing game.

    Original Review: Absolutely Amazing, pun intended. I can't imagine a better Spider-Man game, unless it's a second one made by these guys. Insomniac hit this out of the park, their attention to detail makes this game feel like a living, breathing, organic world. A world that feels right at home in the Marvel Spider-Man universe.
    From the battles with some of the most recognizable villains in comics, to the comparatively monotonous tasks of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, you feel a sense of connection to the people and burrows of New York only Spider-Man can from his unique perspective swinging through and above the apartments and landmarks of the vibrant city, both real and fictional. Where the game truly shines is in it's storytelling, which I won't go into any detail on as not to spoil anything, but I will say it's pacing in it's escalation and the ways it effects are felt as you traverse the open world are astounding. Your actions and the progression of events really has an effect on New York city, one I hope you can recognize and enjoy as much as I did while you take the time to unfold a new chapter in the epic of Marvel's Spider-Man.    … Expand

    This game. This game defines "open world". This game defines "great gameplay" and most importantly, this game defines Spider-Man. I wasn't sure how this game would fair before it came out considering the dreadfully disappointing movie tie-ins from Activision and Beenox. And what did we get? A bloody fantastic game that deserves that spot for game of the year 2018. Need I say more? 9/10

Agora o que mais me decepcionou no jogo foi o fato de que é um mundo aberto vazio, os npcs claramente são npcs, não fazem nova iorque parecer viva, eles simplesmente estão andando la (claro que se tem alguma interação com eles mas é bem fraquinha) o jogo lhe entrega algumas horas de diversão e entretenimento com a historia principal, recomendaria a todos que joguem este jogo mesmo se não forem fâs do aranha, e para os fâs que tem um ps4 e ainda não jogaram, estão perdendo tempo, o jogo tem defeitos ? sim e acho que apontei a maioria deles aqui mas tem muito mais qualidades, e apesar desses defeitos eles não estragam a diversão.… Expand

    The game may have failed to impress me at first sight but as the game is progressing I'm loving it. Yes, it definitely feels bit downgraded and combat system is 90% similar to batman Arkham games, but the game play is very smooth. That's what I really care about the game. I have also encountered with some bugs but that's alright, it is hard to find a game without any bugs...
    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 ❣️

    I was surprised how much fun this game is to play. Story is really not good, missions are OK, but it's extremely fun to fly around the city and solve stuff! One of the biggest flaws is grinding crimes for platinum trophy. It took me some time to fly around the city and solve little crime missions just to get last trophy. Completely unnecessary!

    Despite the obvious care that Insomniac put into making this game, there are some problems. The game goes *fast*. The collectibles are all highlighted on the map, and there is something of a lack of postgame content currently. The addition of NG+ does a fair bit to alleviate this, but there still aren't that many side missions to do or collectibles to find. The first installment of the City That Never Sleeps DLC was fun, albeit short, and left me excited for the followup. Hopefully, as the other chapters of the DLC are released, the game will continue to build on its fantastic base.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's been a minute since I've played a Spiderman game. In fact the PS1 featured game was the last time I played.
    I'd felt like I had grown out of playing a teenager with acne and super-powers, and I was right.
    This game picks up well into Parkers career as the web slinger. He's 23, and he has a few villains under his belt.

    I loved swinging around the city, as it's probably the games best and highlighted feature.

    The boss battles is where I feel let down, even on hardest difficulty.
    Rhino and Scorpion's boss fight is reduced to a watered-down double kill.
    Also the sand-box tasks get very old with a lack of variation.

    The first DLC shined fairly brightly, seeing the lack of female characters, it's a nice change to see a female perspective on why they've become a "criminal."
    I'm okay with how they changed the Venom origin, it fits better rather than introducing Eddy Brock with a water down cameo with no real focus.
    Venom has become his own leading man in the spider-verse, and I expect the second game to point main focus on the symbiote terror.    … Expand

Происходит это в тот момент, когда паук находится на уровне верхних этажей высокоэтажек. И в первые несколько минут, игра дарит непередаваемые ощущения, получаешь истинное удовольствие от полета по городу, от того как двигается наш герой, от уровня исполнения. Надо сказать, что передвигаться по городу не надоедает до конца игры, очень весело нестись по Нью Йорк, раскачиваясь на паутине и набирая скорость, спеша добраться до точки на карте. Все миссии кстати отмечены на карте точками определенного цвета, в зависимости от того, основная сюжетная эта миссия, побочка или доп. задания. Но карту, придется открывать путем восстановления "вышек". По мере прохождения игры, будут появляться дополнительные задания. Можно будет зачищать базы преступников, пресекать ограбление банка или похищение человека, или даже помочь одному бедолаге в поиске и поимке его голубей. А еще есть секретные задания, которые никак на карте не отмечены. Это все побочные задания, а во время основной сюжетки, нам дадут поиграть еще за Мэри-Джейн (девушка ЧП) и за Майлза Моралеса. Игра за последних двоих представляет из себя стелс, довольно "одноклеточный" надо сказать. Есть по 2 миссии за каждого, когда играть реально весело и круто. Особенно запомнился момент с Майлзом и Носорогом.

    В игре очень крутая боевка. Игра предоставляет огромное количество разных комб, как наземных, так и воздушных.

    Сюжет в игре достоин того, чтобы просто посмотреть его как хороший фильм. Диалоги, игра актеров, цели героев, становление главгада, все на высшем уровне. На данный момент это не только самая лучшая игра про паука, но и самый лучший фильм (такую же оценку, я в свое время дал и дилогии во вселенной трансформеров, от High Moon Studios). Также стоит подчеркнуть, что игра следует своему пути, т.е она НЕ повторяет сюжет из комиксов, мультфильмов или фильмов. В игре своя история, свое течение событий. Сюжет кстати является новым каноном.

    Еще к минусам можно отнести бедное разнообразие побочных миссий, где нужно драться. Не сами бои, они очень мне понравились. А именно игровые ситуации. Еще сильно надоели испытания, где нужно было остановить машину, все конфликты по одному сценарию, не круто. Только боевка и спасала.

    Боссы, битвы с ними показались мне немножко легкими, особенно после недавнего God of War, где боссы давали прикурить по самое не балуй.    … Expand

The ability to switch between different powers on the fly would have made it much more great, as constantly going into the menu to equip your powers depending on the situation does break from the immersion,apart from that there is little to nothing wrong with it.

    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.
