    I HATE this game. HATE, HATE, HATE it. Nothing but unrelenting twitch combo moves. No time to breath or recover during action sequences, even at the easiest level. Complete frustration.

    For calibration purposes: * I'm in my 50's, but play a lot of PS4 games * Loved Witcher 3, Assassins Creed Origins, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, God of War, etc. * Love open world games in general.

    * Love open world games in general. Fighting is fine.
    * HATE twitch games that require teen-level reflexes and muscle memory of large numbers of combo moves.

    No sneaking or different strategies here, just full-on speed and combo moves. That's this game.

    HATE this game. I wish I'd bought it on DVD so I could have some resale value. I wish there was a way to gift it to someone. Couldn't even make it through the first boss level without yelling curses at the damn TV. HATE this game.

    More power to ya if you're half my age and like this sort of thing. I can understand that. Reflexes get slower as you age, which is why I don't play PVP anymore. But I sure as hell wish I'd seen warnings about the gameplay when reading all of the glowing reviews, before I paid full price for this.

    This game is a solid 8 due to it's gorgeous graphics, smooth webswinging, great story and spidy rpg progression. The only things that hold it back are very poor wall crawling and lack of variety in enemies.

I mean, anyone who can shoot a swinging spider-man while aiming out of a car fleeing the police is pretty much Hawkeye, and every criminal seems to be Hawkeye, that that's pretty lame. Other than that, the game is great through and through. I enjoyed every activity just for the webswinging and Spider-man's personality. Expand

    A masterpiece.
    Everything is how it should be.
    Heck..its even better than the garbage,which is Homecoming,where everything is f***ed up- Starting from Peter as himself and Spider-Man, to all characters that go with the movie.
    Also,the story made me wish that the writers from the game take on the next movie and fix Spider-Man.

    This game is very good, but has a lot of bugs, the camera should be better, and when you dodge it doesn't work every time. Besides that the game is very very similar to Batman Arkham Knight, almost a copy. The story is good and the graphics are crazy.

Outside of combat I've never had a game with fast travel that was unused! Traversing the entire map isn't a chore, it's a joy. Trying to do it the fastest, or rooftop jumping, staying as low to the ground as possible, there are so many paths you can take, and sometimes, just wandering the streets shooting finger guns at people and high-fiving fans. The story is incredible, it has a slow creep but it kept me rapt doing an amazing job of being true to form for Peter Parker and letting you feel not just the big "I must save the world" but giving him real humanity. Highly recommend! Expand

    - Story: Insomniac really did well in writing the characters (especially Peter, MJ, Aunt May, etc.), villains, plot twist and storytelling.
    - Web Slinging: I had a ton of fun with this because it feels realistic, and I was not bored with it (to the point I only used Fast Travel like once or twice only). Also no fall damage is working really well in this game. - Combat: not so hard

    - Combat: not so hard but not so easy as well (even in the hardest difficulty) so it was not frustrating at all and will still give you a challenge. Using different gadgets makes the game more fun as well.
    - 30 FPS will not cause a problem at all. In addition, the frame rate was stable.
    - It has a great photo mode.

    Bad:
    - Slightly repetitive random crimes, and challenges.
    - No day night circle.

    Honestly, there are SO MANY good aspects in this game that I have forgotten and not written. Also, I feel that this game is more like 9.5 for me, but I will gladly rate it 10 so it will have a higher average review

    There is so much to enjoy: Great combat that gets better the stronger you get and gets more fun with all the abilities and gadgets you get. An excellent story that makes a few changes to keep you on your toes so it isn't quite so obvious as to where the it's heading. Fantastic web swinging that makes it just a joy to swing around a brilliantly rendered New York City. Loads of collectibles and side missions to do that are just as fun to do as the main story missions. And a great plus the game looks fantastic, graphics are top notch!

    Insomniac knocked it out of the park with this one. So much love and passion went into this, you can really tell they had a blast making this game. This is by far the best way to experience Spider-Man so if you are a Spidey fan, do yourself a favor and pick this game up ASAP!

    Finally a game that will get everyone to shut up about Spider-man 2. Marvel's Spider-man knocked it out of the park. I've never had so much fun playing as the Webhead. I know for those of you who haven't played it the hype seems over blown. It really isn't this game is truly AMAZING.

    The game story is fantastic. All the main characters are fleshed out and likeable. The main villains you understand their motives. This game feels like a Spider-man movie in that aspect where you see the main villains and they aren't just evil for because they can be. What this game also does is something the Amazing Spider-man movies wished for; the Sinister Six. They are done well in my opinion the reason is because they start you out as adult Spider-man so you don't have six rushed villain backgrounds they are already evil and hate him. I personally always liked adult Spidey more so this story was set during a perfect time. The only issue with the story I have is the third act seemed a bit rushed. It wasn't bad I think they could've made it a little longer so I had more time dealing with the enemies vs how they did it. (I have to be vague for spoiler reasons) The actually ending however was twisty and fantastic. It was definitely an emotional roller coaster.

    The gameplay is fantastic... as Spider-man. Spider-man plays similar to the Batman Arkham games but more fast paced. The different abilities and types of web make the gameplay lasting and never tedious. They change up the enemy types to keep you dodging, dipping, ducking, and dodging. The boss fights are cinematic and unique in each encounter. The villains they chose for this are so different you have to learn how to beat each one while fighting them. There is not just one way to beat every enemy in it. The sad thing about this game is you don't just play Spidey. This is where the game doesn't get a perfect score is because it has some problems. My biggest issue was the bit where you play Mary Jane sneaking around trying to get info on enemies. It isn't hard, but nor is it fun. They also have many tedious puzzles that are just there for time. The main one is a pipe dream style of mini-game that anyone can do. If you are a completionist this game is for you. They have so many collectables, side quest, random crimes, enemy lairs, and side quest where you find collectables it's unreal. I don't mind any of that because none of it is mandatory. I dare you not to do them though because swinging around as Spider-man is just too much damn fun.

    Overall the game has a couple of flaws, but those are miniscule compared to how good majority of the game is. I loved playing this, and had a hard time putting it down I have to give this a HIGH BUY. If you own a PS4 you should be playing this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitely the best superhero game I have played to date. I have to admit that it's addicting as hell and after getting 100% completion and the secret photo ops for the ESU suit, i WANT MORE! This feeling originates from the enormous amount of filler content provided by the game, which while somewhat fun to do, still is too reminiscent of Far Cry busy work. Certain parts of the game, like forced stealth sequences as alternative characters while not long, felt somewhat unnecessary. I do understand their story purpose though. My big complaint are the boss fights, which are not mechanically diverse at all. I'm a big fab of Bayonetta and DMC, so when it comes to bosses in action games I feel like insomniac could have done better. Stun, press triangle, do 5 hits, repeat is not the worst thing in the world but it's a bit too simplistic. Even on the hardest difficulty i didn't have to restart any fights except Doc 3 times. Game is a million times better than Batman Arkham series, but in the grand total of things it's an 8 from me. Put DANTE IN NEXT TIME lol (I'm joking of course) Expand

    Amazing. The detail in the city is crazy and traversing via web slinging is incredibly fun and smooth. The combat takes a bit to figure out and even some of the street crimes can be a challenge until you learn the rhythm of how to fight individual enemy types. But it's really satisfying once you do. My only ask is that they make it for VR ... that would be sensational.

    Downsides?

    - MJ's stealth sections are tiring (not difficult, just unnecessary)
    - open world is a little shallow - repetitive NPC's, no natural day/night cycle (mission specific and require loading screens). It is nowhere near as deep as GTAV for instance.
    - puzzles are too frequent and too easy (can be skipped thank god)

    Overall well worth a buy if you like spiderman and/or liked the Arkham games

And most boss battles just follows the pattern of dodge boss attack, web up the boss, web-zip to the boss, 4 hit combo the boss and rince and repeat. But really that´s all I can fault the game with.

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

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've completed the game, all harry research stations, all backpacks, all pigeons, all bases, all landmarks.
    I just need to finish up challenges and I'm going to have the 100% mark done pretty soon. So I have a comprehensive experience on it.

    This unfortunately is being run by a hype machine, it's nowhere near the 90s people are giving it and over rates the game and misleads people to where it's at.

    The obvious good points are the visuals are great, along with the web traversal, it's intuitive and very smooth. You will rarely ever swing into a building and donk yourself against it, losing all the momentum you've built up. (although that should be a given in a spider-man game).
    I liked a lot of details like the little tweet section and JJ podcasts that adds a layer of immersion to the world. The interiors on buildings that you're crawling past despite eventually being copy paste still managed to impress me because of the effort of city detail when they could have just put mirrored windows on

    The core story is very short, and the padding as Mary Jane/Miles Moral can be extremely tedious when you just want to get to being spiderman and I ended up just speed running as them and finding not a lot of issues in recklessly running around as them.
    The bosses themselves are waaaaay to easy, Their patterns you figure out within 15 seconds because they're that repetitive. And you just end up rinse/repeating that strategy until the cutscene arrives which can feel a bit of a chore not a engaging challenge to over come.

    The story lingers a lot on Martin Lee, like, a lot. A good 66% of the game is about stopping him so the sinister 6 thing feels a little rushed because you only get one mission boss fight with them each and then they're gone. Made them kinda disposable characters for some of spidermans main villains.

    Most of those are legit criticisms but not worthy of bringing it down three points...but my biggest gripe? The side missions/side quests. The most mundane rinse and repeat fetch quests/time trials/"map reveal" watchtower clichés that we have seen time and time and time again in open world games. They're getting so repetitive in the genre that I'm already bored of them the first time I ever played them in the game because I've already done it a million times before.

    The set crime response missions were pretty good, but they need to make it more organic. Kind of like a radiant system with a wide plethora of missions. All the way from stopping bank heists to helping old ladies cats out of trees. Bring back the friendly neighborhood spider-man.

    I feel like it's a good start for spider-man, but insomniac weren't trying to make an amazing game rather than a decent one to make the set up for a sequel that REALLY has potential. (symbiotes, which I was kinda disappointment didn't make an appearance here.)

    Also, PLEASE devs, PLEASE. Make villains unlockable characters to play again like when the first sam raimi spiderman game let me play as the green goblin, or how ultimate Spiderman let me play venom.
    Do you realise how god damn cool it is to play as those characters, or doc ock? Missing out there

    Spider-Man has always been a huge influence in my life. One of them was he was the first superhero to get myself into gaming. I was 5 and the first 3-D Spider-Man game came out on the playstation. I remember the awesome times that I had playing that game like having no memory cards so that I'd have to leave the playstation on.

I was 5 and the first 3-D Spider-Man game came out on the playstation. I remember the awesome times that I had playing that game like having no memory cards so that I'd have to leave the playstation on. Having the different outfits of Spider-Man peaked my interest as I kept playing. Using cheat codes like no other because I can. My love for gaming came from that, so as the years go by, I tried finding a Spider-Man game that could give me that feeling once again. Only 2 games from the last decade I could recall giving me that FEELING of Spider-Man. Spider-Man 2 on PS2 and Spider-Man Web of Shadows on PS3. Every other game felt so shallow in comparison because either they have one feature removed or it was washed down and broken. I'm a pretty optimistic kind of guy. I love Spider-Man so when I saw the announcement trailer for this game I was so excited. it looked like the Spider-Man game I always wanted. 3 years later, the game is finally here and people are wondering if its a overhyped Playstation exclusive or does it actually reinvent the whole superhero genre?

    Story - The game is set 8 years in after Peter Parker became Spider-Man so no origin story, no uncle ben's death scene, no he/she expose my identity situation. It's all done and dealt with so what we get is a more characterized Peter Parker/Spider-Man. He's a college graduate, working as a scientist, his relationship with MJ is complex and questionable, he sucks at paying his rent on time, etc. My whole journey with Peter felt nice and refreshing as we don't really get this type of characterization for him. You FEEL for him going through these troubled times because people can relate to some of them. He's not just a Superhero, he's also one of us. That is why I think this adventure was amazing. Everyone felt fully utilize. You can feel or sense their intentions just by looking at them. Everyone actually has different motives and dreams to conquer. You have to play the story for yourself to really experience it.

    Graphics - My god this game looks fantastic. There wasn't a day when we thought Spider-Man would get this type of treatment. There is so much detail in this game that I was at awe most of the time. The details on every suit, the pores and facial expressions, the details of the world, and character models. Everything felt super smooth as I was playing through the game. Only 3 times the game started to dip in frame rate because a lot of stuff was happening at that moment. Most of the time, I was just surprised how well the game ran. The only SuperHero games I played that looked as good as this was Batman Arkham Knight and Infamous Second Son.

    Gameplay - It has been awhile since I played a game that made me FEEL like I was Spider-Man. That's the whole point of this game though. It makes you FEEL like Spider-Man. Memes comments side, the game actually plays really amazing. You have so much control on Spider-Man that nothing feels complicated or overbearing. You get just enough things to do and depending on the situation, it's what you do that affects the outcome of the battle. People believe that you can just mash the attack button over and over again without thought but there is actually strategy in this. At the start, of course that's mostly what you do but then it starts to add in a few small things at a time. So here are the basics. Square attacks, Triangle Web-Strikes, Circle is to dodge, R1 is to shoot out web contraptions, and L1 is to change those web contraptions. You get different enemy types with different variations on them. A few of them have different ways to be dealt with. As you progress through the game, you'll be able to craft things like Suits, Mods, and New Gadgets. The suits gives you different mods that can help turn the tide during combat moments and what's cool is that the suit mod isn't restricted to just one. The player can mix/match what they want to wear and want to use. New gadgets actually have use for them except maybe one. You also get a couple mini-games that have circuit power through to another circuit or match up biomaterials to compose new things.They are fun and don't break up the gameplay. The main thing though about a Spider-Man game though is Swinging. I am happy to say that swinging in this game is freaking awesome. The feeling and weight behind every jump, every web shot, every swing just feels great. I can't describe how good it feels as you need to play it yourself to understand how good this swinging is. I remember just a few nights ago that for an hour all I did was swing back and forth. The only problems I had with the gameplay was sometimes the Dodge mechanic can be super finicky as it doesn't respond right away causing some annoying deaths

    Overall - Marvel Spider-Man is amazing. If you have a PS4, this is the game that should be included in your library

    This is hands down the best Spider-man game and I highly recommend it. There are a few things holding it back from a perfect score.

Miles Morales is an extremely unlikable character and comes off as whiny and a know it all. IThis is hands down the best Spider-man game and I highly recommend it.

I honestly wanted more attention on Peter and his story. I feel like the only reason they put Miles in the game was for diversity.

    A day/night cycle would have been great too.The game also needs to have random events that happen throughout the game. They have them at the start of the game but once you complete a certain number in each district they stop. I think they should have kept those events in the game. Maybe even give the player the ability to turn them on and off. They already had a pretty good number of events, if they added rescuing people from burning buildings, bank robberies, and some other rescue events this would be a game I'd never want to put down. All things considered Insomniac made a spectacular Spider-Man game. This is a Spider-Man game made by fans for fans.

    The game is amazing hands down. Not perfect, but rock solid. Plenty of content and easter eggs for Spidey fans. Insomniac knocked this one out of the park. The camera during combat at times is the only issue. It doesn't break the game at all. And if they can fix it with a patch then this will be a 10.

    (NO SPOILERS) and does a really good job of pulling you into it and attaching you to the characters. Like (Creative director) Bryan Intihar says "Spiderman and Peter Parkers world's collide"
    One thing i wanted to specifically mention is that Yuri Lowenthal is the best voice actor for Spideman, honestly the guy's voice fits spidey and peter so well that it makes it enjoyable to hear his voice, the voice he puts on for Spidey is so exuberant and the voice he puts on for Peter is so Peter Parker-like...basically what i'm saying is that this voice of Yuri is how i imagine Spiderman to sound like if real.

    There were only a few problems i had with the game:
    One of those is the side missions, i'm mean few were actually thoughtful and good, like the clone Spiderman and etc. but the rest were quite boring especially the Spiderman P.I. one...

    The second problem i encountered was that there are a lack of enemy types, i mean i get it that you maybe don't wanna throw new enemy types at the players straight away but after finishing the main story at least you could somewhat throw a new enemy types like for example, one of the escaped convicts could have a type of armor (Like the armored Sable agents) and they would be hard to hit.

    The last problem is that there is lack of side activities which are connected to saving civilians, there are only thug crimes and car chases or kidnapping and that's all, Insomniac could have added a two more like injured civilians being taken to hospitals or fires in a building.

    IN THE END, Spiderman is a fantastic game with only a few flaws but with a lot of great story, combat, and traversal elements that makes it an absolute BLAST to plays for days. I'm looking forward to whats Insomniac brings to the table with the second game.

    Insomniac has hit it out of the park with this one. A compelling story, a beautiful rendition of New York City, a fantastic web-swinging system, and much more make this game the greatest Spider-Man video game ever made. It is also, without question, one of the year's best games and a legitimate contender for GOTY.

It is like a faster paced, harder, requires more skill Arkham knight and using your environment around you is key. Story is phenomenal and so is character development. You can just tell the love that Insomniac put into this game and they deserve the praise. I cannot wait for the DLC's as they look like it is going to be a great amount of more content for the players to continue the story. Basic rundown of the game:

    Combat/Controls: 10/10
    Story: 9/10
    New York City Environment: 10/10
    Side Quest: 8/10

    This game will make you want more, and it has plenty of fun stuff to do in it. Definitely buy it and don't miss out on one of this years best games.

    Cons: Some of boss fights could have been more challenging and varied. Alot of them were too easy and seem like repeated fights.
    Side mission were very lackluster, they definitely could have been better
    Alot of skins for spidey but only a handful look good enough
    Mary Jane and Miles sections were unnecessary and really screwed up the pacing of the game and story.
    MJ was much more annoying than endearing and I didnt buy the chemistry with peter. Peter had more chemistry with Yuri to be honest

The combat isn’t as good as the Arkham games which it clearly tries to emulate but it gets the job done. Traversal is just fun. I never used the fast travel option aince getting from place to place was a joy to itself. This also made the several sidequests easier to tackle since you could do them if you came acroaa them. Only in the very end of the game did it become a little bit of a hassle to do the side activities aince the game throws a while lot of them at you at once while in the beginning it was kore of a slow trickle.

    The story isn’t mind blowing but it’s well acted and has a few twists you might not see coming. Of course if you are at all familiar with Spidey you know who the villains are going to be the moment you see them.

    The game looks beautiful and the open world is very well done. I will be visiting New York for the firat time soon so it’ll be interesting to see how accurate it actually is but based on comparison with google maps it’s fairly close if somewhat concised.

    Overall a pleasant surprise since there haven’t been good Spidey games in years.

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

    TLDR: If you have a PS4 buy Spider-Man, if you don't have a PS4 buy a PS4 and Spider-Man.

The only thing that draws grind and repetitive side quests - moving around the city on the web and then, after two hours of cramming all the possibilities of the Spider. The city is dead and nothing happens in it, but you do not notice flying over the streets. It is worth stopping for one minute as the magic breaks down.

    We will not talk about the plot - everyone who wanted to, already familiar with it. He is, but it is more interesting to learn about those eight years past, through the found objects and comments of Peter, than to immerse himself in a new story.

    Our assessment: You do not need to buy a console for Marvel's Spider-Man, but if you already own PS4, then not paying at least 5 hours would be a crime. P.S. Provided that you do not know where to put $ 60

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

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

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

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

    Pros: - EVERYTHING. Like, it's really hard to break down the pros because there's so many. Swinging is fluid, it just feels beautiful. Whether you're climbing the Avengers tower, or swinging to Daredevil's lawyer office, it's perfect. The fighting is again, amazing. So

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

    Cons:
    - I have one. The side stuff can become tedious and repetitive, there's a lot of "go and find 12 of these things around the city". It kinda negates as you do them as you have crimes to stop, so you literally do those as you go, and it breaks it up more for you.

    Summary:
    - If you already haven't, go and buy this game right now. The story is incredible. Absolutely incredible. I got about 45 hours into platinum I think, and I really did enjoy every minute of it. In my own personal opinion, this is one of, if not, the best game I have ever played. Insomniac deserve so much credit for the masterpiece they've presented us with.

Spiderman's various web swings and climbing feels really organic. Now the combat is where the game really shines. You can practically create your own moveset and combos thanks to the variety of spider gadgets you have it at your disposal.

    The villains are iconic and fun to go against, but I feel like they are missing some more famous villains here. Where's Green Goblin? Sandman? Symbiote/Venom? or even Kraven? Here's hoping we'll see them in future (free) content.

    The one thing I kinda didn't like was the stealth sections as non-spiderman characters. Yeah, they are fun, but I have seen them hundreds of times in other games. Oh well, at least they are essential story bits.

    Go out and get this game. It's probably a non-lego marvel game that I liked in a VERY long time

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

    First, the story is one of the most immersive and original aspect of this game, a well thought masterpiece and one of my favorites, way better than all of the spider-man movies out yet. Game-play, man, after this game, I realized I've never properly swung across New York
    This is definitely the best spider-man game, the best super hero game, one of the best games I have ever played.

    First, the story is one of the most immersive and original aspect of this game, a well thought masterpiece and one of my favorites, way better than all of the spider-man movies out yet.

    Game-play, man, after this game, I realized I've never properly swung across New York properly, with the physics and well crafted animations you really feel like spider-man, you almost feel the wind touching your skin. You feel New York. Peter Parker as a character was awesome. Playing with him usually contains some puzzles but that's no problem, i heard MJ parts was boring but I disagree, I think stealth sessions was a good way to balance the tempo. By the way I loved the Insomniacs take on both of these characters. MJ makes great as a Journalist and personally better than being an actress. This improves her relation with Spidey greatly.

    Combat, aside from amazing traversal, combat is also amazing, an important part is it allows you to make strategic decision, you can take enemies out with multiple ways with those large amount of gadgets and of course your trusted web shooters, hands and legs too... the amount of combinations you can do is limitless, and the combos too. The finishers in the game really makes the fight alot interesting, there is large amount of finisher animations in the game and it is amazing I would say the feeling of hits isn't that great but when you pull these amazing combos and finishers you don't desperately need it, your eyes just lock to the screen. From the last sentence you might think that the combat is easy, it's definitely not the case. Don't think I'm spider-man these punks can't to anything to me. These guys really push you, they don't wait until you beat the other guys then strike, they just fight you with all they got. You may find yourself trying to escape a never ending sequence of gun shooting, rockets and more. And you will deal with it with your abilities and things i listed above.

    Side Activities and Collectibles, there is plenty of them. I can say they are original and creative but one negative thing i'm going to say because they are plenty, if you try to finish all of these before finishing the game, it can drive you away from the story a little.

    A thing I'm a little disappointed about is boss fights, they are fun and all but they all have a pattern and when you know what to do, the rest is doing the same thing again and again until you beat them.

    There are certainly alot left to say but my hands are slowly getting tired =) After all it was definitely worth the hype and overall a great game, an awesome game, an amazing game, a spectacular game, best super hero game yet. I know i may praised the game too much but these are my honest opinions and Im a huge spider-man fan. Always Be Greater.

    Spider-Man is by no means a perfect game, but it is a really really good game and is without a doubt the best Spider-Man game we've ever had by a long shot. This is a MUST BUY for every PS4 owner!

    Pros:
    - Traversal - the make or break of any Spider-Man game and I can confidently say that Insomniac got the feeling of Spider-Man down in this game. It is simple enough for anyone to just pick up and try, but has enough nuance to it for seasoned gamers to feeling challenged in how to efficiently swing around. I probably spent more time just swinging around than the actual missions because it just feels oh so good!
    - Combat - combat truly feels like Spider-Man as the 'acrobatic improvisor". The mechanics are similar to the Batman Arkham games, but it feels like Spider-Man with the way that he attacks, dodges, webs, and zips around a group of enemies. The action sequences are done well enough where it feels like a battle you'd find in a movie.
    - Graphics - to put it simply, this game is just beautiful. We are now getting to the point of this generation's lifecycle where developers have figured out how to maximize the potential power from the PS4 and this game shows it.
    - Story - this felt like a Spider-Man story without retelling the same old story we've heard in the past in different medias. The entire story from beginning to end just felt so cinematic like I was living out an epic Spider-Man movie and not just playing a game
    - Map - This Manhattan may be the best Manhattan map we've had in a video game. It is not a 1:1 scale or exactly identical to Manhattan, but it is done well enough and truly feels like Manhattan. Real life locations are "where they're supposed to be" even if they're not in the exact location
    - Easter Eggs - Spider-Man has 50+ years of lore and Insomniac Games seems to have placed easter eggs everywhere in this game! From the characters you interact with, the collectibles, and even random landmarks around the map. This place is filled with easter eggs!
    - Photo Mode - I've never really cared much about photo modes in other games, but being Spider-Man and the beauty of the character and the map got me really into this. I've spent at least a quarter of my play time just messing with photo mode. I love trying to recreate comic book covers, movie posters, and other iconic Spider-Man poses all over Manhattan

    Cons (if I have to nitpick)
    - Side Missions & collectibles - all very vanilla for an open world game and nothing you haven't already done in previous sandbox games.
    - Variations of enemies - this isn't a knock on Insomniac but maybe just the lore of Spider-Man prevented them from having lots of a wide variations of enemies like we get in God of War.
    - Difficulty - I wish the game was a little more hard. I played it through on the most difficult setting and it was still relatively easy compared to other games. I died many times but I also breezed through many missions without dying once.

    The web swinging tactics are amazing, I could swing around the city all day, it's that much fun. The story is deep and has kept me entertained throughout. The combat is difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it along with additional skills you can string together some crazy combos and destroy all your opponents with fun and ease. Then the biggest thing is just the sheer amount of content in the game. They put a lot of activities within the game and I never want to stop playing it, I will most likely replay the game after I beat it the first time! Also as another note the graphics are beautiful and the city looks fantastic.

    Overall the game is amazing, there are a couple small flaws such as the camera during combat and other small things within the game but they can be fixed pretty easily I think. This game is a must buy along with any DLC content that comes with it.

Visually, this game is excellent and minus one very minor bug here or there, it runs perfectly. The gameplay both during traversal and combat is fast, frantic, and fun. Insomniac clearly operated on a "fun first" mentality and it shows because the game is an absolute blast cover to cover and I can guarantee that I will pop it in for some swing seshes to unwind after a long day at work. I'm already impatiently waiting on the DLC, hungry for more. Buy this game at full price right now because Insomniac deserves it and you deserve it. Expand

    Spider-Man arrives after a long hiatus but whilst the visuals are clearly up to the standards we expect from gaming in this era, the game-play itself is very generic and dare I say, last gen.

    Spider-Man is not 'new' to being the 'superhero' so we don't get yet another origin story. However, Spider-Man still has to unlock the map using towers that many Ubisoft Open World games did in the past. For someone that has been Spider-Man in New York for years, its disappointing to see that Spider-Man doesn't know New York until he unlocks the towers. Combat is rip off of Batman Arkham games - albeit with a bit more verticality thanks to the more athletic Spider-Man but I do think its less responsive too. There are some great animations in combat but these have to play out before you can do the next move. This can be frustrating as after a dodge, there is a pause before Spider-man can 'move' again which makes the controls feel unresponsive at times. Sometimes Combat feels great, at other times it feels frustrating, sluggish, unresponsive and for a 'super' hero, known for his strength - which we do see at times (like lifting up cars or collapsed concrete beams), he feels remarkably weak in combat where it can take a few punches to be killed yet some basic goons will take a lot of Spider-Mans attacks to knock them down. Not great when swarmed by 3 or more and dodging leaves you vulnerable to a hit before you can resume your attack.

    On the ground, Spiderman feels very sluggish, not very athletic at all in running. Swinging can feel great when it works but again, there are times when the controls don't seem very responsive. Wall crawling is slow and running up buildings often can seem erratic too. Spider-Man can't climb metal towers either despite the fact that they are like 'ladders' that normal humans wouldn't struggle climbing.

    The open World is well realised but despite being more populated by 'civilians' and vehicles, something the Arkham games weren't, its not particularly interesting (other than visually). The activities and Side Quests are mundane and more filler than anything else. You do have the 'bases' with waves of enemies, random 'crimes' that are repeated in different areas, places of interest to photograph and back-packs to collect. These are not exactly 'skippable' either as you need these to upgrade gadgets and craft suits - how a photograph/backpack helps here, I don't know. Its all just filler, repetitive and/or mundane.

    I won't go into the story to avoid spoilers but there are a lot of scripted elements and a number of QTE's too. You can't come up with your own strategy to beat a boss for example and often rely on dodging until a certain window of opportunity instructs you to use your webs to jam up or swing a heavy object at the boss and repeat until you move to a different phase.

    I know this sounds 'negative' overall but its not all bad. Its very much an 'old' (last gen) game in its format, its game-play and open world but with a quite impressive current gen visual. Its not very innovative and has a lot of aspects that other games get 'criticised' for today - just look at Ubisoft open world games and the general reviewers comments about towers, bases and mundane side quests/activities. I do think that if you are a Spidey fan, as I am, this will score more than the sum of its parts but as 2018 game, its not contemporary with what we expect from other open world games now.

    To address the 'downgrade' issue, its certainly not a bad looking game at all and there are some areas that are far more complex than the E3 image comparisons we have seen. Whilst its true that scene is a downgrade in terms of complexity, I can believe that the change was made more out of man-power, budget and/or time limitations - having to create specific reflections foe every rooftop rather than having one 'generic' reflection and reducing the puddles so that the missing building reflections aren't an issue because of the placement of the smaller puddles was not a decision based on hardware performance. I am sure the PS4 could have handled that scene but Insomniac changed it because they didn't have the time, budget and/or manpower to create bespoke reflections for 'every' puddle, every rooftop etc in the game and it was much easier, as well as take up less space, to make one 'generic' reflection that can be used everywhere.

    Anyway, I am awarding this game a 7 out of 10 as a Spidey fan but you can take 1 off if you are indifferent to Spider-Man. Its a game that 'borrows' from others (Arkham, Ubisoft Open Worlds etc) and wraps them up in some impressive visuals and relying on Spider-Mans popularity to sell rather than being something 'new' and fresh with the Game-play as its major selling point.

Whether I was fighting with the Arkham-inspired combat system to web-slinging across Manhattan, or right down to every last varied activity and collectible, I had so much fun with it throughout almost my whole playthrough (I only experienced one glitch and 3 crashes).

    If you're the kind of player who enjoys open world action games, loves Spider-Man, hunts easy platinum trophies, or all of the above like myself, I couldn't encourage you enough to play this. At least for me, it's the most fun I've had with a sandbox game in years. Now if only they can make a sequel starring Miles Morales...

    Siendo siempre lo más importante en cualquier título, Spiderman nos ofrece un muy buen GamePlay, poniéndonos en la piel del arácnido de una forma majestuosa, el colgarse por los edificios de Nueva York es toda una aventura, con una mecánica muy estable y realista. Las batallas contra los enemigos también hacen uso de las habilidades de Spiderman. Sin embargo para que todo esto funcione se debe de un proceso de aprendizaje continuo y puede molestar a algunos ya que recordar todos los combos puede causarte la muerte en varias misiones.
    Gráficos.
    Muy a pesar de todos los comentarios haters de que sufrió un Downgrade, nada más alejado de la realidad. El título se ve tan bien o incluso mejor de lo mostrado la primera vez en aquellos pasados E3's. Y en general el título es un deleite visual. En PS4 Pro como es costumbre se ve más fluido que en la versión en PS4 Base.
    Historia.
    En este apartado el juego se luce aún más, metiéndonos de lleno a los zapatos no solo de Spiderman, si no también en su alter ego Peter Parker e incluso en los pies de Mary Jane. Una historia que te mantendrá interesado de principio a fin.
    Otros.
    En mi experiencia, afortunadamente no me topé con ningún tipo de Bugs, ni otros problemas durante el juego. Las misiones secundarias al igual que en muchos títulos de mundo abierto, después de repetirlas muchas veces pueden llegar a ser aburridas.
    La transición del día a la noche no es sutil como en otros juegos de mundo abierto y esta se basa principalmente en el punto que vayamos en la historia del título o la misión que estemos realizando y hay un buen motivo para que se así, igual como siempre es de noche en los juegos de Batman.
    Conclusión:
    Spiderman es un gran título que nos hace sentir de verdad ser el hombre araña, pasear por Nueva York y detener el crimen nunca había sido tan satisfactorio como en este título de Marvel Spiderman.

While the story includes many familiar characters, it tells a new Spider-Man story that is not afraid to take the story to different places and introduce new characters that have not been in any Spider-Man movies yet. The weakest aspect of the game is definitely the side content in the open world. The side missions and challenges can get repetitive sometimes but they are still fun to do as the gameplay is solid.

    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.
