    Insomniac really put their effort in this. They did a really good job if taking the Spider-Man we all know and love to a new, fun, and interesting story with much stuff to do and a lively environment in both day and night. Definitely the best Marvel/Spider-Man game to date and will not be forgotten in the history of PS4 exclusives.

    As a massive fan of Spider-Man this game absolutely blew me away. I love Insomniac's take on all the characters, all the mechanics and it doesn't hurt that the game looks bloody gorgeous. Probably the most fun I've had playing a game all year.

    This game is so beautifully crafted with care, the story was handled and told with such creativity and was riveting from beginning to end. Insomniac should make more super hero games from Marvel, if we are getting this kind of quality in them. If you are a Spider-Man fan this is a must buy, if you love games pick it up! It's great!

The attention to detail is really good with Spider mans poses and the little things like the items you'll find in the bags, but there are many flaws in this game like the missions. Some of them are fun but most of them are a basic copy and paste like the combat missions, and I wish that they would implement more web-swinging missions (like a pizza delivery mission like in Spider man 2) rather than combat missions. But the main complaint I have for this game is the story mode, it's honestly the most boring story mode in my life, the story itself is okay, the characters are nothing special with the exception of Doc Oc, Miles, and Aunt fricking May, but the missions OMG it's honestly the worst thing ever, there's not much variety in story missions, all of them are basically a beat 'em up which later on get's boring and the human missions are a slow paced boring mess. Its kills the pacing with characters such as MJ, Miles, and Peter Parker sneaking around some random place, but it's really a good game with tight controls, great gameplay and really graphics for a console, honestly it's a must buy.… Expand

    About the swinging, it's probably the best and most fun traveling system in any open world game, it's so fun that you don't want to fast travel!
    The combat is also excellent, i say it's even better than arkham's combat, which this game draws inspiration from, it's the same fast flow combat, jumping from guy to guy, but it's different and more challenging, especially because spidey can't take too many hits unlike batman.
    Now for the less great part about the game, the open world activities and side-quests, they aren't bad, it's just that the rest of the game is so incredible that these activities seem "less quality", they're still a bit fun at worse but can be better, but i still enjoyed them especially the backpacks and landmarks.

    VERDICT: it's an incredible game that doesn't bring new stuff to the table, but perfects the game mechanics that we knows, and the story makes up for it's flaws.    … Expand

    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
    I give Marvel’s Spiderman

    I 100% this game 6 days after release, and honestly didn't touch it again until over a month later when the DLC came out. For me the things to do other than the story are incredibly grinding and boring. The crimes in each district feel like a drag, the side missions are all the same (things such as catching birds, collecting backpacks), and I didn't think i would feel like it but the web swinging got a little tedious.

    The DLC is a different topic, the story was fun but very short. Everything else? Recycled stuff from the main game that was clearly taken from the full release. Insomniacs Spider-Man is fun and beautiful, but it does get stale after completion.    … Expand

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I quite enjoyed this game, even though I didn't expect it. I was skeptical since I read the comic books and watched the movie, so how different could have been the game to make it exciting enough? Well, i thought it was different enough, but also mixed with what I already knew and I quite liked it.
    The controls were fun and quite easy to get a grip off, which was good as there was a LOT of combat. i enjoyed it, although I felt it was quite repetitive, I lost energy after collecting all the landmarks, backpacks and crime sites, the research facilities had some variety but all the prison camps etc were just too similar. Go there, fight a group of people, that's it, no big sense of purpose, besides ticking it off the list. Although it's probably better that way than if players were forced to do that all. Also, what's that thing about people locked in car boots? That was just odd.
    The game is very pretty and even tho it's an open world you could travel quickly swinging between the building and with the fast travel option. I loved different loading screens when traveling with the underground and how they corresponded to the gameflow. The script was written well and I did laugh at some of the things the main character said.
    Overall I thought the game was good fun and it has quite a few hours of gameplay in it. Worth giving it a go for sure!    … Expand

    First let me talk about the experience. This game has the best fan service I have ever seen. Nearly every major and minor character from the Spider-Man universe is accounted for (there is even Stan Lee in a sweet, MCU-style cameo), while Spider-Man has to face several of his biggest enemies. The city traversal by web slinging is my favorite part of the whole game, nothing beats the sensation of climbing atop the Avengers Tower or the Oscorp towering HQ. Not to mention how cute it is to greet virtual people on the streets and shake hands with them, or taking selfies with the photo mode. Insomniac Games have done a tremendous job in the fan service department.

    What makes Marvel's Spider-Man stand out from other superhero games is the focus of its story on Peter Parker (who has been a crimefighter for 8 years) as a young adult who struggles to balance his personal, professional and superhero lives. Parker's relationship with Mary Jane and Aunt May is explored in a great way, as well as the relationship between Peter and his mentor. The main plot is not an adaptation of some classic Spider-Man story arc, it's a cinematic re-imagining of the established Marvel Comics mythos of Spider-Man, just like the MCU movies introduced modern takes on classic characters.

    This game is often compared with the Batman Arkham series of games, but it's really based on the PS2-era Spider-Man 2 game. Nevertheless, the fluid combat and traversal system are influenced by the Batman Arkham series and the Spider-Man 2 game. The game's meant to be played by everyone, so if you are a seasoned gamer you better switch difficulty to Hard instead of the standard Normal, this way you'll really enjoy the game and appreciate the combat system's intricacies. The map's layout in districts and the need to clear criminality in each neighbor are inspired by the inFamous series of games. There are also a few stealth sections where you don't control Spider-Man, and have to avoid enemy detection, Metal Gear Solid-style.

    Other than the presence of a few QTEs, the only real downside of this game is that, unlike the main story path, the side content is of varying quality. There are some great side quests, and many others that are repetitive. Sure there is plenty of busy work outside the main story path, like bringing enemy forts down or doing challenges, but variety is lacking.

    On the technical side, the graphics are top notch. There was the usual "downgrade" accusation on Twitter, but it was later proven to be wrong. You can see the whole of New York from the top of a skyscraper with impressive draw distances, and pop-in during web-slinging is almost non-existent. The soundtrack is inspired by the MCU movies and is wonderful. The sound effects are excellent. The voice acting for all the major characters is superb.

    Marvel's Spider-Man is a great game made by Insomniac Games, the first high-calibre game Marvel's got in many years. Just like an MCU movie, this game ends with a couple of post-credits scenes, teasing a potential sequel. Maybe Marvel's Spider-Man will kick off a Marvel Interactive Universe, just like the Iron Man movie initiated the MCU phaenomenon back in 2008. I can't wait for the Avengers game and Marvel's Spider-Man 2!    … Expand

I haven't binged a game for a long amount of time since Dragon Ball Fighterz. This is a must buy if you own a PS4 and you must buy a PS4 no matter what.

    This game was a blast to play. New York was done so well and Spider-man's movements were fluid and enjoyable. Act 2 was the weakest link of the storyline, but man they went out with a bang.

    Rating: 8 out of 10: with great power comes Goons flying Gailey off the top of buildings

    Well done Insomniac games; for making travelling in a sandbox game fun again.
    Seriously the web swinging mechanics are so enjoyable I looked at the fast travel option with a turn of the head and a pouty face. Actually, if it wasn't for the trophy that unlocks after you fast travel 5 times I might not even know it existed.

    The easy comparison is, of course, Batman Arkham City but allot lighter; in everything including the tone. But that's classic Marvel/DC comparison I suppose.

    The story focuses on an older but still maturing peter parker 8 years into his life as Spiderman. I found Peter this time around being more relatable, seeing him trying to balance his social and Hero life to an unhealthy degree. So in short, it's a Spiderman story threw and threw. Still very original and even has a few surprises, but in some cases, you can practically hear the dialogue 10 minutes before it happens.

    The combat while very similar to Arkham’s punch, Counter, take on large groups of enemies style of combat, is faster and made crazy if you make use of the web attacks Spidy can use; to either hit the goons, throw the goons, threw objects at the goons or my personal favourite throwing the goons off a building top to grab them in mid-air to then throw them again.

    The open world did feel very Ubisoft in its set up. Case in point, Bloody Radio Towers. Turn them on and watch the icons fly up for the usual: enemy outpost, collectables and challenges. The map didn't feel too overbearing for me and I say the web swinging does help make the world feel less like a painful commute; in fact, I felt the cruising through the game randomly stumbling across collectables and challenges was very peaceful. The missions and side quest are varied for the variety, although why they put in the mandatory stealth missions with instant death is beyond me. Looking at all the activities as a whole the game did feel a little flabby. All the side stuff seemed to overshadow the main story somewhat. If the beating up goons part is what you're here for that's fine, you'll never run out of them. I just felt the story fell short in compared to the rest of the game. I realise I'm underlying every sandbox game but I digress.

    Overall Disney's Marvel's Sony's Spider-man is an amazing game. Whether you just wanted a game to lose yourself for hours in or you waited for an interactive take on your friendly neighbourhood Spider-man; I know I did.    … Expand

I feel like they could have done a better job inhabiting the world with things to do without resorting to extremely repetitive crimes, collectibles, etc. I was still perfectly OK with doing everything however, because traversing through the city was so damn fun, and upgrading Spidey's powers and gadgets, for use in combat, was so damn satisfying.

    La obsesión principal de los fans antes del lanzamiento
    del juego ha sido la mecánica de balanceo
    por los rascacielos de la Gran Manzana.
    ¿Ha conseguido Insomniac generar esa sensación de vuelo,
    ese mágico equilibrio entre control y libertad
    que caracteriza a los mejores juegos del lanzarredes?
    Sin duda.
    Y no deberíamos subestimar
    su brillante trabajo a la hora de lograrlo:
    la emoción, la velocidad,
    la adición de habilidades
    como la espectacular caída libre
    o la ralentización de la cámara...
    todo funciona estupendamente
    para ofrecernos una experiencia que,
    en una pantalla lo bastante grande
    y sobre todo en una Playstation 4 Pro,
    es prácticamente inmejorable.
    Nueva York, sin ser inmensa,
    sí es lo bastante grande como para que podamos
    perdernos durante horas por ella,
    y uno de nuestros placeres fue olvidar
    las misiones principales para, simplemente,
    darnos una vuelta por algunas de las calles
    más míticas del mundo.
    Además, la exploración es necesaria:
    iremos desbloqueando nuevas zonas del mapa,
    desafíos y localizaciones especiales
    reactivando torres situadas por toda la ciudad,
    al estilo Assassin's Creed,
    lo que nos obligará a recorrernos todo el mapa,
    si queremos, ya desde el principio.
    Las misiones secundarias
    Aparte de la trama principal,
    que combina secciones de combate
    con algunos jefes finales muy bien distribuidos,
    y otras secciones de investigación y resolución de puzzles,
    tendremos numerosas misiones secundarias
    por toda Nueva York.
    En los primeros compases del juego,
    la relativa sencillez
    y sobre todo el humor presente en muchas de ellas
    se nota como una bocanada de aire fresco
    comparado con la mucho más seria trama principal.
    Perseguir palomas para recuperar un USB robado
    no es el típico trabajo de un superhéroe,
    pero precisamente al ser Spider-Man funciona.
    A la larga, eso sí,
    pueden hacerse algo tediosas,
    pero al menos tienen su recompensa: superando estas misiones conseguiremos fichas que nos permitirán desbloquear trajes, cada uno de ellos con nuevas habilidades de combate y mejoras que implementar. Aparte de las misiones, tendremos otras razones para la exploración concienzuda: viejas mochilas con objetos coleccionables, lugares desde donde hacer fotografías de edificios míticos de la ciudad, bases enemigas que nos permitirán practicar el combate... Si bien estos desafíos no variarán a lo largo del juego, y las sorpresas a nivel de mecánicas o estructura son escasas, el interés de la trama principal y el relax puntual de las misiones secundarias se van encadenando para ofrecer un diseño narrativo que, si bien no es especialmente innovador, funciona como un tiro. Conclusión Con "Marvel's Spider-Man", probablemente estemos ante el mejor juego de Spider-Man jamás producido, sostenido en su estupenda historia, una banda sonora espectacular, una Nueva York más viva que nunca y unas mecánicas de desplazamiento y combate profundamente satisfactorias. Al compararlo con otras joyas de su generación, como por ejemplo el último God of War, se echa en falta un poco más de originalidad o innovación, si bien es cierto que estas nunca han sido las claves principales de un juego de Spider-Man. Con el trepamuros, lo que queremos es la oportunidad de volar sin movernos del sofá. Tras jugar al "Marvel's Spiderman" y salir a la calle, echábamos de menos poder lanzar una red y agarrarnos al edificio más próximo. Y esa es una sensación que normalmente está reservada a los niños. No podríamos haber tenido más suerte.    … Expand

    Well this was disappointing. It starts well enough but it quickly becomes a shallow experience. I guess this might be a fine game for the casual gamer and I would recommend it but to everyone else I'll say to wait until it get to at least half price.

    This is by far the Best Superhero Game and the Best Spider-Man Game of all time!

    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

Two days ago a bought it to fill the waiting for RDR2 and it took about 20 minut for me to realise this weekend I will stay home, finish it on 100% and enjoy every minute of this amazing game. Rich story with memorable characters, main missions are well made with well balanced difficulity, boss fights are best from all superhero games I have played, but still the same concept you can see in batman for example. Sidequests are typical for these games, but Spidey will keep you entertained with his constant, mostly very funny monologs. In some point of 1 Act fast travel will be aviliable, which is for me normally great news, this is one of a few exceptions, because flying over city with simple yet effective controlls is so addictive and fast, that you will use fast travel maybe for trophy. Last thing I actually knew that insomniac will deliver are fun and effective gadgets and armors with usefull upgrades. They sure know how to make battle extremely fun using hands, legs and spiderweb against guys with rifles and rocket launchers. Even batman would make a bad symbol in his trousers, Parker is fast combo machine that sometimes you dont even know how or what you did, but it looks cool AF and it was smooth.

    Must play and in means of pure fun, absolutely best superhero game.

    It always seems as though licensed video games end up being mediocre cash grabs from greedy developers.

But Insomniac has finally done away with this trend and created one of the most impressiveIt always seems as though licensed video games end up being mediocre cash grabs from greedy developers. Super heroes have been no exception to this idea, as every big Marvel and DC super hero who has been given a video game, besides Batman, has been treated horribly by what their developers create. But Insomniac has finally done away with this trend and created one of the most impressive licensed titles to date.

    "Marvel's Spider-Man" is essentially a reimagining of the 2002 game developed by Treyarch, and throws Spiderman into the open world of Manhattan Island (New York City). As an open world game, Spider-Man succeeds immensely in creating both the feel and scenery of real-world New York City. The world includes enemy bases to reclaim, landmarks to discover, interesting side-quests, and research stations that involve restoring New York to a better state. All of these elements add up to create a fantastic open-world that is both fun to explore and beautiful to look at.

    As far as the story goes, its a really great attempt at creating a brand new story about Peter Parker and his secret life as Spiderman. Though, if you are familiar with the Spider-Man Universe, don't expect to see many surprises, as the majority of the common Spiderman characters are written very similarly to their traditional roots. Thankfully, this does not take away from how well-written and memorable the story is, with the main highlights being the tragedy of Martin Li and the relationship between Dr. Octavius and Peter Parker. I won't spoil exactly what happens, but I will say that it will be something you'll never forget, whether you are a fan of Spiderman or not.

    One of the most impressive elements of this game (and probably my favorite of all) is how fluent and overall fun its gameplay is. I can't tell you how many times I got lost in roaming the city to just swing around and enjoy the scenery while pulling off as many tricks as possible. In addition, the combat system is top notch and only gets even better and deeper as the game progresses, and the number of ways you can go about knocking out enemies (throwing them off buildings, sticking them to walls, silently knocking them out, etc.) only helped to enhance the experience. Unfortunately, this game does have its shortcomings, the biggest one being how repetitive the side missions can feel after awhile, as all of the enemy base camps play out the exact same way and collecting all the backpacks isn't all that fun. Also, even though I love the combat system, it can get kind of boring and frustrating at times.

    In conclusion. "Marvels Spider-Man" is a fantastic game, both as an open-world game and a licensed product. It may not go above and beyond and is not quite a masterpiece, but the sheer amount of enjoyment and satisfaction I got out of playing this game made it well-worth every penny I spent on it. I can't wait to see what Insomniac has in store for the future and I really hope this game ends up ushering in a new era of quality licensed video games.    … Expand

    Combat is frustrating. Giving it liberally takes so much from the Arkham games, you'd think they'd do a better job emulating it. A simple comparsion: while in the Arkham games, using dodge interups an enemy's attack so they don't hit you as you vault over them, whereas in Spider-Man the pitiful cartwheel out the way still leaves you within reach of the attack you're trying to avoid. I found the best approach was to smack what enemies I could into the air so they couldn't hit me, which became incredibly stale as the game progressed.

    The stealth sections are equally annoying, not least because sometimes despite executing it flawlessly, you're still forced into fighting waves of enemies at the end, making you wonder what the point was. There are also 3 "mods" you can equip at any one time that increase you proficiency at both stealth and combat, but you have to manually switch between them. A better design choice would to be able to switch between a "stealth" and "combat" load out would have been a better idea, or just simply move these three stealth mods to the skill tree and be done with it.

    I'd of been happier watching the cutscenes play out as a movie, rather than play it as a game. A shame, I was really looking forward to something special.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game brings us perhaps the best Spider-man's adaptation to video games. Insomniac captured the essence of the character perfectly. Combat system is really fun, they took references from the Arkham Series, is pretty obvious, but they adapted that system to Spider-man and it feels so good to fight with him, natural and smooth, combining movements and gadgets making combats very satisfying. The web swinging is amazing, simple and pleasant, you never get bored of going from a place to another. The story is decent, must say a little too predictable for me but it has some good plot twists. The reasons why I'm giving it a 9, is because, first of all, I'm tired of the "Ubisoft towers", these high points that let you discover all the important points of a zone in the city, 'cause when you activate them all the map looks like a rainbow, every mission, every collectible, every important location is a point on the map. I've seen this in games like The division and must say I'm not a big fan of it because it makes me feel like I'm doing tasks with absolute no sense and sometimes it gets bothering to do them. Secondly, I don't know if this is considered a spoiler, but in some parts of the game we have to control other characters besides Spider-Man, and personally, I think these were the worst parts of the game. Because they're boring, tiring and it really breaks the experience in a horrible way; fortunately they're not so many and they are kinda short, so is not that bad. I really had a good time playing this game, is really funny, animations and movements are spectacular, graphically speaking is very good, despite what people said about a downgrade, to me it looks amazing even in a PS4 fat, and the level of detail on some aspects is incredible. If you have a PS4 and you're a fan of the spider, I recommend you the game 100%, it's not perfect or revolutionary, it takes a lot of tools and aspects from other games in the genre, but this is for me, one of the best games of this year so far.

    These Miles parts and early MJ were really bad ,and the Bioshock puzzles were just a boring filler even the devs are aware of it and made it optional, MJ got a LOT better in her last 2 missions the rest of the game is solid , BUT I think the AI is joke a both in combat and "stealth" witch can use more polish and creativity in the future , and absolutely NOBODY saw that ending coming , goodThese Miles parts and early MJ were really bad ,and the Bioshock puzzles were just a boring filler even the devs are aware of it and made it optional, MJ got a LOT better in her last 2 missions the rest of the game is solid , BUT I think the AI is joke a both in combat and "stealth" witch can use more polish and creativity in the future , and absolutely NOBODY saw that ending coming , good game though .… Expand

    I really liked this game, I feel i should preface everything I’m about to say with that statement: I really enjoyed this experience. Spiderman PS4 is easily the best spiderman game ever made, but to be honest there wasn’t a very high bar to swing over. The story while enjoyable is a tad predictable barring one mission, but it didn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. In terms ofI really liked this game, I feel i should preface everything I’m about to say with that statement: I really enjoyed this experience. Spiderman PS4 is easily the best spiderman game ever made, but to be honest there wasn’t a very high bar to swing over. The story while enjoyable is a tad predictable barring one mission, but it didn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. In terms of the story, it’s set 8 years into Peter’s role as the Web-Head, and it’s to the game's credit, it was a great choice to not focus on the origin story, after three different movie series it would have grown tired to hear it all again. In terms of gameplay I have never enjoyed traversal through a game more than I had with Spiderman. Swinging through the city is so much fun once you get the hang of it, and it doesn’t take long to comprehend it. It’s so seamless to control spiderman and go from point A to point B. I’m going to try to not fall into the basic troupes like other reviews but the feeling this game gives you can only be described as Spectacular.. Or Amazing.. Or.. Superior? My point is this game makes you really feel like you’re spiderman.. #&@$! I really enjoyed this mid-twenties Peter Parker, it made it easy to relate with him on everyday life things from Rent, to relationships with others. Spidey’s development as a character was a journey for not only Pete, but to me as the player. Watching Spiderman’s heart break over the villains he once called his mentors. The Combat is good enough; feeling like something from the Arkham series but you’ll go far to separate that thought from your head. Later parts of the game were a little grating as it feels like a nonstop flight, if you want truly be your friendly neighborhood Spidey friend I was also disappointed that you only really get to deal with supervillains in the last act of the game. You can only do so much with minions and I thought the main plot line with Mr.Negative could have used a break or two with missions to stop Scorpion, Electro or Vulture. Kingpin’s tutorial mission was the biggest disappointment. Could you imagine if the game had instead opened with Rhino charging through Times Square? Lastly I want speak about the side characters in the story, the ones who helped drive the story. I loved their inclusion to the overall story between Aunt May running the homeless Shelter F.E.A.S.T. or the introduction of Miles Morales or Mary Jane Watson. With a few exceptions I don’t think there was a reason to make missions where we have to play as either of the latter two side characters and sneak around enemies and throw distraction tools and tell spiderman witch of the baddies to take out next. I bought the game for Spiderman, just let me play as the damn Spidered Man. quick side note; James Jonah Jameson was a delight in this game and reminded me of how much i loved his role in the Toby McGuire Movie Trilogy. So as much as I enjoyed the game Insomniacs Spiderman gets an 8 / 10

    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.
