    Not much to say, everyone that give good number have told all the awesomeness.
    The web swinging, it's like a standalone game, spent so many hours for this.

    This game amazed me with the amount of details and attention. Story has short and bold arcs, evolution of the charters and believable connections between them. Voice acting and animations are cutting edge, while open-world activities are bit plain at parts, but still provide a lot of fun and participate in overall storytelling.

    I could speak of the things I loved about this game for

    1. the game is too repetitive

    2. it lacks fun openworld activities

    3. lacking in animations

    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.

    juego recomendadísimo para todos los jugadores de la ps4 . Historia fantástica , jugabilidad exquisita , ambientación genial de la ciudad de nueva york y una suavidad de movimiento inmejorable . La única pega es la repetitividad de las misiones secundarias , aun así son entretenidas . Sin ninguna duda , el mejor juego de spider-man y en mi opinión , de súper héroes en general .

    overall this game is great and truly deserves the praise. Insomniac has done a very good job on this spider man game and I hope it wont be the last. who knows maybe we could get some other villains like venom or green goblin maybe ?

    NB! Sorry for bad english non-english speaking guy.

    My wife is not a huge video game fan, she is more like a video game hater, but only until we start to play PS4 exclusives. Together we have completed God of War, Uncharted series, Detroit - Become a Human, Spider-man (currently), Playlink game series, Horizon - Zero Dawn.
    So basically my wife is my personal "metacritic" when is see that she got interest in the game I play, that means that this game is "a special one" and we will finish it together. PS4 exclusives made my wife look on video games from different angel.

    Great job Insomniac!

    Great game, im enjoying the story. The customization aspect of the game is down right fun. However, some of the challenges are, to me, pointless and seems nothing more to serve as filler for the great but ultimately, not that long of a story and to justify the exorbitant price. If the challenges weren't necessary to help boost your equipment, i wouldn't bother with them

After blow minding Batman Arkham experience from Rocksteady I was little bit concerned about new beginning of Spinder Man universe in gaming industry. That was caused about small experience by Insomniac games also. Sunset Overdrive was awesome but, let me get straight, games abot Marvel and DC heroes it's absolutely the top league.

    And after all the day of the redemption finally came!

    My doubt were compleately unjustifed. The game is simply wonderful. The plot renders the specific of Spidey very well. This is the same sneaky and funny guy we all knew from the comic line. Sinister Six really get handle! And my favourite Shocker is so fantastically designed! (very similiar to the Spidey PS2 game from 2004).

    Gameplay? Oh my god... It's simply stunning! When you tasting it you're thinking: Is that game really need anything else? It's so simply and juicy experience which makes everyone relief. Spidey is very agile thanks to we can make incredible things through the New York surroundings.

    Some whining about the side missions but c'mon people, this is not RPG! It's action game! In it all meaning itself. Talks about them no one allude about perfectly implemented easter eggs which makes every fan of Marvel universe dizzy. There are plenty of them!

    Insomniac made a fair work in the optimization also. The diffrence between PS4 PRO and normal PS4 it's only the graphics. In the both version the game works smoth as well.

    I'm Spidey fan from a long, long time and this game is crowning my life adventure through the Marvel best character in history.

    Thank you Insomniac ;)

    Simplesmente o maior e melhor jogo do Homem-Aranha já feito, e no Top 3 maiores jogos baseados em quadrinhos da história.

    Simplesmente o maior e melhor jogo do Homem-Aranha já feito, e no Top 3 maiores jogos baseados em quadrinhos da história.

    Sabe, eu sou um grande fã do Homem-Aranha desde sempre, meu herói preferido (personagem preferido no geral) dos meus 4 anos até hoje. Eu nunca vi um só filme, jogo ou animação que pudesse compreender tão bem o personagem e representar ele nessa história espetacular que honra o que Stan Lee e Steve Ditko fizeram ao criar o Homem-Aranha.
    Se você já adorou o começo do game, vai amar ainda mais o desenrolar da história, e o surpreendente final. Mas o gake não se trata só de história, mas também da gameplay. O combate, baseado na série Arkham, mas alterado aos moldes da Insomniac pra se encaixar ao Homem-Aranha em si. Com sua movimentação rápida, fluída, aérea e, principalmente, baseada no improviso, e essa última característica que faz o combate desse jogo único e um rival do estilo implementando pelos jogos do Batman. Nos Arkham por exemplo, quando você se deparava com um inimigo blindado, você tinha opções limitadas de derrotá-lo, que sempre apelavam pra no máximo três opções. No Homem-Aranha, apesar da variedade de inimigos e de suas imunidades, devido a quantidade de gadgets e opções, há inúmeros jeitos de imobilizar até os inimigos de maneiras muito interessantes e criativas. Seja jogando ele de uma beirada, socando-os pra cima, os enchendo de teia no ar, e puxando pra baixo (o que colaria eles no chão), jogando inimigos em cima de outros, jogando seus foguetes ou granadas de volta, finalizações aéreas, chutes balançando... Essa foi uma primeira tentativa de combate da Insomniac que conseguiu reinventar a fórmula Arkham e tornar ainda mais dinâmico que seu inspirador, além de ser mais desafiante, pois você vai encontrar muito mais inimigos armados em combate e sua resistência a balas é extremamente menor que a do Batman nos games.
    O stealth, mais rápido e agora com mais opções de distração que o stealth dos jogos predecessores (TASM 1 e 2 da Activision e Beenox), ainda não está no nível Arkham, porém ele consegue ser extremamente rápido e silencioso graças as habilidades do Teioso. A interação com cenário e as suas ferramentas deixam tudo mais fluido e interessante de se ver, além das animações de neutralização furtiva muito bem feitas e criativas.
    O melhor "web-slinging" já criado num jogo do Aranha. Desafiante de se aprender, mas quando você masteriza ele, simplesmente tudo ocorre de forma tão bela e fluída que até da gosto de passar muito tempo só se balançando pela cidade, misturando com seu parkour em prédios que deixa tudo mais prazeroso. É rápido e funcional, como nenhum outro game do Cabeça de Teia.
    28 trajes alternativos, 95% deles com uma habilidade única que você pode mesclar em outros trajes, como habilitar o ataque em área de efeito de guitarra do Aranha-Punk no traje Homemade. Além de permitir até 3 mods de armadura dente mais de 20 pra você ter vantagens no que você quiser, seja ofensivo, defensivo, movimentação e utilitários.
    Uma porrada de referências do começo ao fim do jogo, muitas delas de muito aparentes até bem secretas e que só encontramos dando um zoom com o Modo Foto. Quase sempre com um comentário engraçado do Peter pra você rir um pouco.
    Mundo vivo, Nova York recriada quase em perfeição, interação com o mundo, pessoas e cenário. Iluminação e gráficos com um nível de cair o queixo. Missões secundárias e coletaveis bem legais pra você descobrir vilões únicos, novos tipos de inimigos, mais da história da cidade e do Peter. Podcast do nosso amado JJJ sempre falando dos acontecimentos do jogo e culpando o amigão da vizinhança.

    Falando sério, modéstia à parte, como um dos maiores fãs do Homem-Aranha e como um viciado em videogames e coleta de platinas, esse é o game definitivo do herói. A maior obra dele em muito tempo que me deixa extremamente hypado pela sequência. Se você é fã também e tá em dúvida em comprar, não fique em dúvida, eu te prometo uma experiência incrível.

    Obrigado Insomniac e Sony por trazer meu sonho de ter finalmente um jogo que honre esse personagem que todos amamos. Vocês trouxeram o definivo Teioso, o superior Cabeça de Teia, o realmente Espetacular Homem-Aranha.

    Not as good as the last few games. Here is why:

    The combat is pretty bad when looking at the past entries, even AS1 + 2. Hit ratio is very off. Spiderman singles out enemies mid air but it gets boring and he doesn't lock in as well towards other enemies in previous experiences. Spiderman feels like your playing as Eddie Gordo from Tekken only with less actual hits and more dodge

    Spiderman feels like your playing as Eddie Gordo from Tekken only with less actual hits and more dodge dancing.
    They could have spent more time getting the combat to connect better instead of making things look good.

    Textures look funky and not as smooth. It also makes the combat look dull.

    It still overall looks cleaner then the past games but plays objectively worse and most of the bad stuff from past games returns.

    Web swinging and momentum feels the worst it has been.
    Can and object swinging was a terrible idea and adds little to the game.
    Cobbling poor ideas from Arkhams like hacking and Ubisoft landscape unlocks was poor also choice.

    This developer could have done a bit more with this game. I suspect this was just bought and slightly reworked from the previous game.

    That is an honest review, take it or leave it. The other professional reviews are most likely fake commercials and possible astroturfing.

    This is supposed to be a spider man game and the extra characters feel super out of place and forced just for the sake of inclusion. Instead, just make them part of the interactions with Spiderman!

    Combat is pretty well done, no complaints there. People are saying it get's stale, but I never had that thought. The world is good, but definitely not perfect. The puzzles you need to complete are borderline 3rd grade level, tedious, non interactive and frankly boring... They also don't make much sense logically. However the web slinging and interactions with the world itself are very well done and I was surprised at how much you could do with it.

    If they made the story better and polished the 'theme' of the game, it would probably be a 9 just because the combat and the "I am actually Spiderman" moments.
    However currently it feels a bloated and not well thought out.

    De las mejores y la mas personal de las historias del lanza redes, el sistema de combate rescatado de la saga Arkham le viene como un guante a nuestro heroe. Quizas el punto mas negativo es que al tratarse de un mundo abierto carga consigo el estigma de la abundancia de misiones extra bastante repetitivas.

    Incredibly surprised that the user score is only 8.2. I'll assume Xbox fanboys are bringing the score down by spamming 0s. This game is a legitimate 10/10, and in my eyes it has overtaken God of War as the best game on the PS4. Can't wait for the DLC.

Combat is really well done as well as the gadgets you unlock using the tokens you collect from completing different side quests and tasks. Speaking of sidequests it really felt like this part of this game they didn't really try to make it good. They use pretty generic quests with not very rememberable NPCs for the most part. It seemed like a real missed opportunity to add b and c list characters from spidey comics to make cool sidequests. Also the game seems to suffer from the usual repetitive open world collectibles like getting all the packpakes and hacking the police antennas to unlock pieces of your map to become visible. Still a very enjoyable game that I'm happy to have bought day 1. Expand

    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.

This is as close as you can get to feeling like the Amazing Spiderman. There's a true sense of speed and momentum you get while swinging through the streets of New York. It's only amplified by the fantastic musical score that starts as soon as you leap into the air and begin slinging webs. This personally, is my favorite aspect of the game. Every animation is graceful and fluid, and it can become a very fun skill to master.

    The combat is equally impactful and gratifying. Spidey can leap, and dodge very similar to the Arkham Knight series. But nothing feels outplayed or repetitive. The combat can be very challenging also. Jumping in the fray with 10+ enemies can prove to be very risky, and takes a keen reaction to your Spider-Senses to stay alive. Spidey can only take limited hits, and isn't a huge punching bag like Bruce Wayne can be. This satisfying difficulty is managed by the amount of gadgets you have at your disposal. The gadgets include everything from regular webs, to automated combat assisted spider drones. It all fits very well to the universe, and everything has a sense of believability to it.

    I haven't completed the main story yet, as there's no limit to the fun you can have when just running around New York, collecting backpacks, saving civilians, and fighting petty crime. But through the amount of story I've experience, everything seems top notch. The voice acting is great, with maybe a few line "hic-ups" here and there, but nothing that will ever make you cringe. You feel a real sense of connection to Peter Parker and his life situations, as Pete is always portrayed as a simple guy trying to make ends meet. He suffers with relationships problems, the same as modern day people would, through texts and social media for example. Every character is unique, and leaves you wanting to find out more to their own personal story.

    I couldn't have dreamed of a better Spider-Man gaming experience. Insomniac poured every ounce of love and respect into one of the most beloved super heroes of all time. If you're a gamer, comic, Marvel, and especially a Spider-Man fan, you owe it to yourself to buy this game. You will not be disappointed.

    Once you get the hang of it, swinging around the city is second nature. The combat is a little hard to get used to at first and I feel like it's made a little too difficult at times by swarms of enemies, forcing you to go in the air and to dodge bullets, but once you start flowing it's great. This dethrones Spiderman 2 as the gold standard of open world super hero games.

I've just finished the story and got the last secret landmark as well as the platinum trophy and that's saying something because in my 8 years in owning a ps3 and ps4 I've never platinumed a game. But this game made me want to keep exploring and keep fighting and I have to say its one of the greatest games I've ever played. I was consistently entertained from beginning to end. It never felt boring or slow and the story was fantastic and emotional. It didn't need to be this good but I can safely say it's up there with the other great exclusives.

    The combat was fast and never too complicated but always a challenge and each and every gadget felt useful. Stringing combos and using gadgets at the right time was so satisfying.

    Traversing NY was a blast. A little slow at first but eventually after getting the hang of it I was swinging like the best of them. I only used the subway for the trophy. Connecting swinging with point launching and wall running was super cool and streamlined just enough.

    The story and characters were wonderful and extremely well acted. Yuri Lowenthall and Laura Bailey have outdone themselves and they are not just another Peter Parker and MJ. The supporting characters and the main villain do a great job too. The civilians are also well acted though their voices get repetitive due to only a few actors voicing them.

    It's held back from perfection by a few bugs. Nothing game breaking but distracting. I got trapped in walls at one point, sometimes enemies would get trapped and mechanics that were supposed to work just wouldn't. The controls are tight but also not perfect. They work but expect to accidentally tly target the wrong enemy or run up the wrong wall.

    This is a must play and while it achieves the greatness it advertises it misses the perfect score by a hairs breadth due to distracting bugs and control issues.

That doesn't come with some flaws of course, but let's get into the details, take in account that this comes in a review where I haven't finished the story yet, but have spent many hours playing this game, my review may change.
    Pros:
    - Graphics: Remember that whole scandal about some sort of downgrade with the game, well, I compared the forge from the E3 demo and retail, and they are not that far apart, though you can clearly tell there are some differences, one very obvious one is the lighting in both showcases, and the suit looks a little more cartoony, but closely still has a lot of detail, other than that, this game does truly look amazing, and the amount of detail you can see through the city makes you feel more immersed in the game, not like in previous open world spiderman games where every building looked the same and the same amount of grey and blocky textures could be seen, this game actually fills the details in the buildings. Though there are some cons to the graphics, yet a little nitpick I will discuss in a moment.
    - Combat: Yeah Yeah, we know what was your first thought when it came to this game, the Arkham series, and I don't blame you, there are very similar elements, though this one takes more liberties in regards with interactions with the environment, and the combos you can pull feel more creative than Arkham's counter and attack. I'm not saying Arkham's combat sucks, since it's one of my favourites, but Spiderman's gives different moves and brings some new ideas to even use the enemies as combat objets. I also tested to see if I could beat some battles with only square, and you clearly can't, you need to be very aware of your surroundings.
    - Story: I can't say too much yet about this one, the premise is great, taking down Fisk and new members appearing in the city, a new threat is coming in. Maybe this will change when I finish the game, but so far it has kept me hooked.
    Sounds: Not too much to talk about here, but if you buy this game, you'll know what I'm talking about
    Suits: They are lucky this section counters the one of the Cons of this game, because man, the suits you unlock are amazing, my favorite is the Noir, I don't know why, but I like the style of it, and every suit I'm able to unlock feels very rewarding.
    - Progression: Doesn't feel tedious at all, it also feels rewarding as well, and the token you use really take no time to aquire, so you don't have to stress at all on this one.

    Cons:
    - Cliche Open World Elements: Yes, it may not be much of a problem, since what is an open world without things to do, the problem would be that it brings stuff we have seen millions of times, collectibles, towers, repetitive "random events", and again, collectibles. Though, the good part of this is that they compensate by telling you where the locations of the collectibles are from the get go, but still, I can't let this one slide.
    - Spiderman's animation: This one is very nitpicky, since in the air everything is fine, what I want to dress is that personally I don't like how Spiderman runs, it gives me flashbacks of Mass Effect Andromeda's running animation, which looked very silly, but other than that, face animations and swinging animations are saved by Insomniac.
    - Announcing DLC early: Why? Why on earth would you do that, it gives you bad press, and makes you look that you took content out of the game to sell it as DLC, the game shows otherwise, but if the DLC turns out to be really short, I'm going to lower the score, but I really don't have much of a problem with it since, well you know, more spiderman.

    Conclusion:
    - I really love this game, It is on my top list of Game of the Year contenders, next to God of War, but most likely it will be beaten by Red Dead 2, but at least I hope it gets a nomination, this game is worth your time, and I'm really excited about the DLC as well, I hope Insomniac doesn't screw it up, but I have faith in them, so please, give this game a shot, I can guarantee it is worth your time

The one thing I was disappointed about this game were the boss battles . I felt like they could’ve done that much better , but in the grand scheme of things that is a minor issue . I can’t wait for the sequel because this game has setup a really good base for the next one , which they can improve and create the best Spider-Man game ever . Expand

    Questo gioco realizza il sogno che molti hanno sin da bambini, essere Spider-Man. Svolazzare con le ragnatele per New York, riprodotta in maniera eccezionale, non è mai stato così bello.
    Probabilmente il miglior gioco di supereroi.

Zipping around the city of New York has never felt so fluid and effortlessly cool. The combat is endlessly fun, there are tons of side quests, collectables and various random events that happen in the city such as robberies, car jackings & car accidents that you can choose to help out with to gain XP and save citizens in spectacular style or you can ignore them and come back to them later on in the game.

    I personally have been playing for over 20 hours and I've barely even touched main missions because you can easily get wrapped up in swinging around the city or taking advantage of Photo Mode and getting some great shots to see the true detail of the huge open world.

    So far I'm blown away with the game as a whole, it's everything I'd hoped for and more. I can easily see myself getting 100% completion and coming back just for the visuals and the gameplay. This game is the real deal!

    I love how XBOX and Nintendo fanboys are trying to low down the score. You're so ridiculous guys.

    On the other hand, the game is completely awesome. I played a few a hous and I think that it could be one of this generation must have, just like GOW (PS4), The Witcher III or The Legend Of Zelda BOTW (Switch).

    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.
