    Marvels Spider Man is a great project from Sony. starting from a good fight and ending with an excellent plot. And so, in order. Let's start with the pros. The game has excellent graphics with detailed textures. also the game is excellent from the technical side. there have never been crashes, bugs, flaws. The game has a great storyline with chic villains. for all the time the plot never bothers, constantly keeps in intrigue and pleasure. the plot is not drawn out, it takes an average of 20 hours without taking into account side activities. And here, as for me, the main plus of the game: a masterpiece of combat. combat never gets boring, and destroying opponents is a pleasure, you fly on the web, grab some things, throw at enemies, shoot at them .. you can do this endlessly. The combat in the game is just 10/10. also in the game is a very interesting, exciting platinum. the game is so good that even non-spiderman or marvel fans will like it. and a couple more pluses: great characters, no microtransactions in the game, flying around the city on a web is just gorgeous, interesting missions, an interesting climax of the game, gorgeous soundtracks, an impressive ending. Now to the cons: the city of New York does not feel alive, everything happens in the city, everything is implausible, the characters who walk around the city seem to be inanimate, boring additional tasks and additions, despite the fact that the dlc for the game is boring, they still sell for $ 20 , all dls to spider man, I can rate 5/10. You can try to pass them by buying only the goty edition. Overall I give the game an 8/10.Great project from sony. I recommend everyone to take a look. /Rus:
    Marvels Spider Man является великолепным проектом от Sony. начиная от хорошей боевки и заканчивая отличным сюжетом.и так, по порядку. начнем с плюсов.В игре есть отличная графика с проработанными текстурами. также игра отличная с технической части. ни разу не наблюдалось вылетов, багов, недоработок. В игре великолепный сюжет с шикарными злодеями. за все время сюжет ни разу не надоедает, постоянно держит в интриге и удовольствии. сюжет не затянутый, походится в среднем за 20 часов без учета побочных активностей. И вот, как по мне главный плюс игры: шедевральная боевка. боевка ни разу не надоедает, и уничтожать противников одно удовольствие, летаешь на паутине, хватаешь какие нибудь вещи, метаешь во врагов, стреляешь в них.. так можно бесконечно. боевка в игре просто на 10/10. также в игре очень интересное, увлекательное передвижение по городу:летаешь на паутине, хватаешь какие нибудь вещи, метаешь во врагов, стреляешь в них.. так можно бесконечно. боевка в игре просто на 10/10. также в игре очень интересная, увлекательная платина. игра настолько хорошая что она понравится даже не фанатам человека паука или марвел. и ещё пара плюсов: отличные персонажи, в игре нету микротранзакций, летать на паутине по городу просто шикарно, интересные миссии, интересная кульминация игры, шикарные саундтреки, впечатляющий финал. Теперь к минусам: город Нью Йорк не ощущается живым, в городе все происходит все неправдоподобно, персонажи которые ходят по городу будто неживые, скучные доп.задания и дополнения, не смотря на то что dlc к игре скучные, так их ещё продають по 20$,все длс к человеку пауку я могу оценить на 5/10. Можно попробовать их пройти купив только goty издание. в целом игре ставлю 8/10. Великолепный проект от sony. Всем рекомендую ознакомиться    … Expand

As players take on the role of Peter Parker, they're immersed in a deeply personal journey that explores both his heroic and civilian life. The writing is top-notch, showcasing the wit, charm, and emotional depth that defines the beloved character. Supporting characters such as Mary Jane Watson, Aunt May, and Miles Morales also receive meaningful development, adding further layers to the already rich narrative tapestry.

    The web-slinging mechanics in Marvel's Spider-Man are nothing short of extraordinary. Traversing the meticulously crafted open-world New York City feels incredibly fluid and empowering. The sheer joy of swinging through the city's skyline, seamlessly transitioning from skyscrapers to narrow alleys, is an absolute delight. The attention to detail is astounding, with every swing and jump exuding a sense of weight, momentum, and agility. The exhilarating freedom of movement is a testament to the game's impeccable design and showcases the sheer thrill of being Spider-Man.

    In addition to web-slinging, the game offers a diverse range of combat mechanics that are both accessible and deep. Spider-Man's acrobatics and signature web-based abilities combine with an array of gadgets, allowing players to engage in dynamic and satisfying battles against a variety of enemies. The combat system strikes an excellent balance between fluidity and strategy, allowing players to approach encounters in their own unique style. The sense of empowerment as players effortlessly dodge, web up foes, and perform jaw-dropping acrobatic takedowns is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

    Marvel's Spider-Man boasts stunning visuals that bring New York City to life in breathtaking detail. The attention to detail is remarkable, with the bustling cityscape exuding realism and vibrancy. The character models are meticulously crafted, capturing the essence of each iconic hero and villain in exquisite detail. From the iconic red and blue suit to the stunning vistas from atop skyscrapers, the game is a visual feast that immerses players in a beautifully realized superhero world.

    Beyond the main story, Marvel's Spider-Man offers many engaging side activities and collectibles that further enhance the game's longevity. From stopping crimes in progress to investigating mysterious locations and completing challenges, there's always something rewarding and exciting to do. The game's replay value is bolstered by the inclusion of additional DLC content that expands the already compelling narrative and introduces new gameplay elements.

    In conclusion, Marvel's Spider-Man (2018) is a true standout in the realm of superhero video games. Its gripping narrative, exhilarating traversal mechanics, and polished combat systems combine to create an unforgettable experience. This game not only honors the legacy of Spider-Man but also sets a new standard for superhero games.

Earn these tokens and also do secret challenges to either upgrade equipment, upgrade skills or get suits based on the canon from previous universes fans will get a kick out of, with brand new ones as well made for the game..Such as the great looking Advanced suit in the advertisement and is getting upgraded for the sequel Some people say the combat is copied by the 'Batman Arkham' games, even though it is inspired by it's rhythm and stealth, the fighting is more acrobatic to suit how fast and fluent spider man is with web combat amd other gadgets, with one of them being the well known web shooters with for fun ones to collect as you delve deeper into the game. The games traversal of web slinging is the part that will get loads of people going as it is fast and very massive in detail, it is not as physics based in the past as they want to be sure you can switch from building to building without losing any momentum, which this does EFFECTIVELY, this also does not ruin the pace of how Spider-Man moves at all! I will not go into much detail on the story as it really should be experienced by you the gamer without you being given any spoilers But the small plot that has been shown in trailers is when Peter Parker (who is now an adult in his mind 20s and not a teenager) has finally taken down the mobster kingpin, causing crime to break loose and introduce iconic Spider-Man villians and Spider-Man being introduced to his new big foe Mr Negative. This story is told with amazing writing and dialogue by writers and actors, which people forget it is actually acted in motion capture and not just voice acted so people give there all in this You can buy this game on PS4, PS5 or PC. There is also DLC, which can be purchased separately ONLY ON PS4 Also if you buy Miles Morales on PS5, you can buy the PS5 version with it for a cheaper price of $20/£20, which considering Miles is usually sold used for £10 on PS5 nowadays, it is cheap and easy to get.

    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.    … Expand

The bulk of the playtime and highly repetetive fun is housed in the numerous "sidequests", which just have you web around town doing the same things over and over. There are also about 700 bad guy nests to clear. This game was designed on the philosophy of doubling down on Ubisoft's Far Cry model. While being Spidey is great, nothing else is.

Spider is still worth buying, however, it’s not a match against Batman: Arkham City or even Arkham Asylum—which launched nearly a decade ago. And that’s ironic since Spidey closely mimics Batman’s formula in numerous aspects. Spider-man is a better than average hero game, but it’s safe and repetitive.

    Graphically, Spider is decent. Video scenes are solid. Spidey’s animations and outfits are well-rendered. Voice acting is on par with other AAA titles. Acrobating around NYC is smooth enough. The 30fps lock is disappointing tho. Spidey feels sluggish at times since his frantic movements don’t translate well at the substandard frame rate. In hectic moments, frames will abruptly drop into the teens. Spidey is a spastic combatant, and gameplay would’ve greatly benefited from 60fps. The developers should’ve included an option that downgrades graphics to boost frame rates.

    I don’t understand the frame lock. Compared to exclusives like Horizon:Zero Dawn and God of War, Spider’s set pieces are unremarkable. The sandbox is large, but buildings and assets are flat and nondescript. Except for landmarks, everything looks the same, and everything is impeccably pristine. There are no signs of wear and tear on structures which have stood for over 100 years. There’s no grime or rust. It’s a forgettable city that’s comprised of generic, copied and pasted assets.

    The story starts strong, but quickly stumbles over itself. It mimics Arkham Asylum’s plot. But the end result is uneven pacing, a handful of boring missions, and mostly uninteresting villains. Except for one, villains play minor roles, and encounters with them are formulaic: Dodge, dodge, QTE and then rinse, repeat. They aren't menacing at all.

    Fatigue creeps in just after the midgame. Tedious side missions are endlessly recycled. Enemy bases are recycled as well. Enemies are samey, just reskinned for each faction. Players don’t get to explore NYC’s underground, slums, or subways. Players who feel adequately upgraded may just want to focus on the story.

    Spider forces gamers to play as other characters in multiple “stealth” missions. These are boring, on-rails missions that exist solely for plot exposition. They comprise roughly an hour or more of the 10 hour campaign. After zipping around as Spider-man, these missions serve as a harsh reminder why such missions suck. Who wants to play as Mary Jane? Nobody.

    Spider’s world lacks dynamism. Despite one villain’s miles long rampage, cranes tipping over, and flying wrecking balls demolishing buildings, nothing physically changes once missions end. Buildings are unscathed. Showing a cityscape crumbling apart at the seams would’ve instilled realism and urgency into the game. Characters refer to all the demolition happening around them, but there’s no evidence of it anywhere except roaming gangs of baddies.

    Combat is passable, but it lacks Arkham’s refinement. Locating grapple points in stealth is a perfect example. After a sneaky flying kick takedown, Spidey can’t quickly zip away to other locations. Players must rotate the camera until it’s perfectly positioned on certain objects and hope grapple icons appear. Looking at objects isn’t enough tho. The crosshair has to be positioned at exact points on objects, otherwise grapple icons don’t appear. Camera location, distance to objects, and object heights all affect this as well. A cumbersome, inexact process. Targeting specific enemies for web attacks is just as awkward.

    Spider’s combat emphasizes gravity defying dodging and stunts. But the lack of aiming on certain moves and poor camera angles handicaps the hero. He will web pull enemies from out of frame although he’s looking directly at other ones. This leads to unavoidable damage. Performing multiple instant takedowns is problematic because enemies are occluded during the close up, slowmo animations.

    Although Arkham's Batman moves slower than Spidey, his moveset is precise and deliberate. Batman’s focus on brute force combat translates well ingame and provides players a greater sense of control. Gadget use in Batman fares better as well. Overall, Spider’s combat is chaotic, but not always in a good way.

    Spidey can only refill gadgets by performing enemy takedowns. Specific takedowns are required to refill each gadget. Players with slow reflexes will enter battles unprepared. Focusing on suit upgrades which mitigate damage is helpful.

    Spider-man isn’t a bad game, but it needs a new game plus, better set pieces, a streamlined story, and more polished combat. It doesn’t dethrone Arkham Batman as the king of the hill. One playthrough is enough for me.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

Anytime a story mission goes into either a lab scene or an mj/ miles scene the game loses its step. There were far to many campaign missions that just felt like filler. I think now that they have the core mechanics down the sequel will be something truly great but for now this game just falls short on reinventing the arkham style.… 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.

    Outside of the main storyline you have these side mission that are just cookie cutter filler and completely ripped of from every type of open world game out there. Outposts, random crimes on the streets, catching pigeons for some reason, etc. Not too interesting. Also, while the graphics are alright, there is nothing exmplemplary in the environments. Just a bunch of cookie cutter boxed buildings with a few exceptions like Avengers HQ and the Daily Bugle. Compared to games like Arkham Knight, the city is just bland to explore, but I guess it's just New York.

    The combat just gets old very quickly and the most basic moves are really all you need to progress. It used the same tried and true formula created by the Batman Arkham series but really does not innovate. Difficulty rises simply because the game will throw numbers at you and you just need to manage the massive amounts of enemy types, from basic thugs to Riflemen to shield toting guys, etc. Each enemy has most efficient way of getting disposed but mostly you bash 2 buttons.

    The side missions are all just pretty meh as well although the main story is solid and there is a plethora of spidey suits you can don, but unlocking some of them is a chore. Ultimately, the game itself turns into a chore by the end and there just isn't enough diversity to the gameplay. Still, overall a great Spiderman game and I did enjoy it while it lasted.    … Expand

Character jumps either 20 centimeters or 10 meters from same button and cannot be controlled. Character just completely jackass around because of that.

    So what is the rest of the game? Swinging from point to point (which while fun at first, becomes kind of a chore later in the game), and most of all: doing ubisoft levels of boring side content to get currency to buy new suits, tech improvement, and perks. These are anything from taking pics of spots, random challenges which flood the area, random crimes (which are super repetitive and you need to do like 160+ to platinum the game), the dreadfully boring science missions, and side quests that ultimately have you do more of the same that you're doing with the other side content. Out of all the side stuff, I enjoyed one single thing, that was the tombstone side quest, and that was because it felt like a main story segment, while also being quick and to the point. Also it had one of the more epic boss fights and enemies in the game as a conclusion. It was the taskmaster quest, with a much cooler boss fight, and without all the boring grind to get to that point.

    Overall I'm just glad I'm done with the games, I'll buy the dlc when they go on sale for cheap enough and I don't have too many other things on the sale that I want, but the atrocious side content needs to be hit on if we are to get a better game with it's likely sequel: a creator of content won't improve something that they think is broken.

I know, you're thinking that I might've got my console tucked into something or that it's badly ventilated or not cleaned or whatnot. It's not. Reviewers rarely comment on these things, but there's that.
    I don't necessarily point on things as good or bad as a measurement on what score I'd consider Spiderman with. Let's just say this: when the story goes on, it is really flipping good, and when you're swinging around webbing stuff - you really do feel like you have great powers and great responsibility. But everyone else doesn't seem to have that much of any responsibility? Citizens of New York are kind of dull. Not much is going on other than traffic. There are side missions and tasks that are quite fun, but it gets repetitive really quick.

    Spiderman is that game where you do stuff in order to unlock trophies. You could absolutely go for the Platinum trophy in this game, just do everything fairly good. But you don't play it for too long, because then it mostly feel like you're doing in-game chores. So my experience was really mixed. It's absolutely the best Spiderman game we've played and if you're a Marvel-fan it's a no-brain decision to get it. If you're thinking "I don't know.." about buying it, you could absolutely wait for a price-drop. If you're thinking I'm an idiot "Of course it's great!" then buy it immediately.

    4. Dynamic crime system is limited to 5 crimes per district per enemy type (meaning if you progress in the story and discover new enemies they will start to commit crimes the problem is the crimes arent randomly generated and infinite meaning you have a limited amount of them)

    5. miles morales and marry jane gameplay sections all boil down to sneaking past guards and are pointless.

    THE GOOD

    1. web swinging and overall traversal is AMAZING

    2. the combat is phenomenal

    3. the story is fantastic

    4. the boss fights are fun for the most part

    5. the suits and gadgets upgrade system is awesome

    6. the characters are great

    7. the game was suprisingly stable not a single crash on my system

    8. the collectibles are awesome

    9. the visuals are so mind blowing that they make arkham knight look pixelated by comparison

    10. the controlls are very well done

    All in all its a good game but it has issues, issues that shouldnt be there in the first place i dont understand why soo many people are giving it a 10/10 or a 9/10 it just doesnt deserve that rating be honest for **** sake. if you want to buy the game now id say go ahead its worth the price for the most part if you can look past some issues that is. i hope the sequel fixes most of these problems.    … Expand

    Spider-Man is exactly what I expected it to be. It had a solid story, solid enough combat, amazing webslinging, repettive side missions, and tons of Spidermans best villains. But it never pushed the bar forward. It feels like the definitive Spider Man game but it never gets its own personality. It feels like it just does everything well enough to make everyone satisfied but never blown away.

    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    … Expand

    The best thing about this game is flying on the web. They are perfect. Honestly can not even imagine how it was possible to make them better, insomniac bravo.
    The biggest disappointment in this game for me was a variety of activities. More specifically, the robbery. They are TOO MUCH and they are essentially the most uniform, this is a huge minus for me.
    The remaining activities are quite tolerant and some are even interesting.
    About the graphics I can say maximum that it is not adorable and not terrible. Just a pretty nice picture.
    The last thing I want to add is that I did not like playing not for a spider. It is monotonous, boring and boring. I advise this game, especially fans of this character.    … Expand

Once I saw thieves rob the exact same store for the fourth time I decided to avoid side content when possible and stick to the main story when possible.

    The story itself while decent could use some work. This game starts out slow and reaches a peak during the last 5 or so missions. The side character stealth missions are enjoyable if nothing new. The spider-man missions are fun at times but tend to get repetitive due to the game's combat. The combat in the game is Arkham's combat with almost no modification. The main difference is that you have a web shooter that can incapacitate all enemy types provided their on the floor. Nothing new is really added and the game mainly just adds more enemies as the game goes on. All early missions follow a strict formula where you either fight enemies or do some stealth takedowns from above (this is taken from the Arkham series as well). Stealth gameplay is pretty basic so it loses it's charm after the first few times. The main story gets a bit better at the end when it goes into bigger set pieces instead of repeated content used over and over again, however this makes up only about 15-10% of the story overall so the main campaign could have used a bit more polish.

    This game may be worth playing if you really like spider-man (which I do), but as a game it doesn't do anything really well or interestingly so for most there are other games that are better worth your money.    … Expand

    Good fighty swingy. Tinges of wokeness. MJ ugly af. Doesn't follow the comics. Story too short. Wait for it to drop to $20-30.

    Full review:
    I spent the entire weekend playing this game. I've played most every Spider-Man game since the NES, and I think I even played the DOS version back in the day. Several have been horrible. This one is just meh. It's not a Amazing (pun intended), but it's not trash. The main reason I play Spider-Man games anymore is to see Venom and /or Green Goblin. This game has neither.

    What this game does have is an SJW coating. Almost every new character is a person of color. The only exceptions I saw were a guy with a man bun whose ethnicity I could not determine, a cop who was a jerk, and a football player, who again, was a jerk. Luckily they didn't race/gender swap any existing characters. It also appears that they intentionally hired unattractive actors as Mary Jane is a square jawed, plump faced, ginger without any sex appeal whatsoever. Aunt May isn't meant to be a sex symbol, but she looks like a crack whore in this game. Peter just doesn't look like Peter to me, but he's the least offensive of the main protagonists.

    The main story is too short. All the side missions, backpacks, etc. pad it well, but I was able to get 80+ percent in every area after about 25 hours, and I think you could do just the main story in 10.

    The story deviates widely from any of the comics. It's an interesting take, but the scene after the credits made me strongly dislike the story as a whole. Without spoiling anything, it appears that two characters will be combined in the next game. Looking back on it, the story feels like a Rian Johnson wannabe, where expectations were subverted but not in a good way.

    I would always sigh in frustration every time I was forced to play as anyone other than Peter. I don't like the Miles Morales story line from the comics, and his inclusion in this game just feels forced. Now, there was one section where you get to see Spider-Man in the background doing his thing, and that was pretty fun and creative, but just sneaking around is very counter intuitive to what I expect from an action game. I don't play metal gear solid because I don't wanna hide in the dark, I wanna run up and punch people.

    Now for the good. The combat, albeit almost too easy on normal, is very satisfying. Being able to turn off quick time event prompts, button mashes, and tedious brain teasers was much appreciated. The web swinging never got boring for me. It was nice that with the exception of a few areas, I never had a problem with finding something to swing from. This has been frustrating in other SM games. Wall crawling around corners or trying to jump off a building was a little clunky, but overall it was easy to traverse the city, and it never felt like a chore.

    The graphics are top notch. Detail put into office buildings and apartments is great. Looking through a window you could even see action figures sitting on shelves. Due to the unattractive actors, I almost wish the graphics weren't so good. With the exception of hair, faces are lifelike. Some of the boss fights are stunning, but the main or co-main villain fights have too much dialogue. It causes the story to lag and lose weight. The long section that was shown at e3 was the best part of the game in my opinion, and I was sad that it was spoiled for me beforehand. All the boss fights were far too easy on normal. Perhaps doing side activities leveled me up too much, but I didn't just run around doing everything before doing the story missions either.

    With respect to the glowing reviews this game is receiving, there is a disturbing trend lately where mediocre games are called masterpieces. I love games, I love Insomniac games, and I liked this game, but if I was gonna replay one from this series, it would be Ultimate Spider-Man. Maybe my nostalgia goggles are on, but that game had a great art style, a story that was faithful to the comics, great web swinging, and Venom and Carnage. I wouldn't even say that game is a masterpiece. It's a solid 8/10.    … 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

    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

In conclusion i can say this game will differently bring a lot of fun for every Marvell fanboys especially for spider man's fanboys.… Expand

    Not a bad game,but there huge conses.
    Weak Plot with boring first half,a little-bit better second half and perfect final.
    The web flying is so cool that can make you FEEL LIKE SPIDER-MAN.
    Combat is perfect,i think theres nothing to explain.
    Ive beat the platinum trophy in this game,and i can say that invastigation NY is very interesting but side quests like Catch a Pigeon is stupid.

    Para todo amante de spiderman, tiene algunos fallos como una historia que tarda en arrancar y misiones secundarias que bien valdrían para llenar un cubo de basura, pero su jugabilidad es esquinita, ya sea manejando a Spiderman mientras se balancea o en combates

    It's a cool game. It represents spider man in a perfect adequate way, for me better than any movie have ever done. The New York City map is truly breathtaking. The gameplay mechanics and web-swinging trough out the city are its big selling point. The story is really great too.
    However the low variety and the repetition of secundary missions are disappointing, to say the least . And beyond    It's a cool game.

    However the low variety and the repetition of secundary missions are disappointing, to say the least . And beyond that it doesn't have much content for a 8th generation so i will give it a 7.
    But anyway if you like super heroes, this game is not to be missed.
    Oh, and that's my opinion so you might not agree to every thing i said and that's fine :) .

    Juego muy entretenido y con un muy buen gameplay, pero el hecho que este a 30 fps no le ayuda mucho, aun asi es un juego muy recomendable

    - Боевка. Она очень слабо реализована, на первый взгляд. В кат-сценах всё очень круто и красиво. Но любое столпотворение врагов, которое тебя атакует превращается в бесявое месиво, которое почти нереально контролировать из-за длинных анимаций. Нет адекватной системы фиксации камеры на противнике, поэтому зачастую, Паркер делает вовсе не то, что ты планировал, особенно это касается бросков- Боевка.

Нет адекватной системы фиксации камеры на противнике, поэтому зачастую, Паркер делает вовсе не то, что ты планировал, особенно это касается бросков предметов.

    - Полеты на паутине. Лично мне не понравились - ты всё время куда-то врезаешься и летишь не так, как планировал.

    - Мэри Джейн. Это просто жесть. Худшая Эм Джэй за всё время саги. И мисси за неё супертупые. Потому как стелс тут очень слабый и у врагов максимально тоннельное зрение. А местами прям доходит до асбурда - у неё нет мотивации заниматься тем, что она делает - это ещё ладно. Но когда она на каблуках быстро топает по кафелю центрального вокзала мимо врага, а он её не видит - это, конечно, швах.

    - Злодею мистера Ли не хватает проработки и мотивации. Он абсолютно пустой получился.

    - Отвратительный стелс. Когда ты подвешиваешь врага чуть выше уровня головы, а остальные враги этого не видят - это вызывает вопросики. Или когда куча бандитов охраняет заложников, а ты отвлекаешь их звоном часов, и они все из-за этого бросают заложников и уходят, отворачиваясь от всех сразу, создаётся ощущение, что NPC тут сильно умственно-отсталые.

    - Примитивные битвы с боссами, построенные на QTE и уклонениях.

    - Отсутствующие побочки. Точнее они есть, но в стиле - залатать дыру в трубе, поймать голубей, собрать анализы воздуха, уничтожить бандитов и уничтожить бандитов.

    - Наличие вышек.

    К сожалению, на поверку оказался достаточно слабым тайтлом.
    Жвачка - не более того.    … Expand

    Great gameplay but a bit repetitive for me. More funny than the Arkham saga but still not a must.

    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.
