    I simply adore this game. It blew me away by exceeding all my expectations about the game. The game was so good that the only time i had to stop playing the game was when my controller batteries were low... And for me since i got my PS4 i have not played any game that had made me want to keep playing for hours and to drop literally everything to make time to play and enjoy a game.

It is defiantly a game that makes me feel that my money was well spent for the ps4 and especially for pre ordering such a spectacular game! ... This review comes from all the way in South Africa with lots of love, thanks and appreciation to the Insomniac team who put all their hard work and effort into making this Amazing, Spectacular and superb Spider-Man game !

    Yes, it doesn't bring anything new to the table as an open-world game. But that's no reason to give it a score of 0... or 1 or 2 or 3 or anything negative. Or if you're an XBOX or PC gamer, again, don't ruin the score of a good game. I had to give it a 10 to balance these idiots. otherwise, I'd give it a 8-9.

    It's a must buy if you're a Spidey fan!

    I've been looking forward to this for the past few years and have been watching all the gameplay demos, new announcement trailers etc. It is an amazing game! If you are a Spidey/Peter Parker fan then you are sure to love it. I'll admit that I'm only a few hours into the story missions, but I'm loving everything so far and there is lots to do in your very own NYC playground.

    Recommended to any Spider-Man fan, Marvel fan and PS4 owner. Also if you are a fan of the Arkham (Batman) games, this is in a similar vein in terms of gameplay. This is, so far, gunning to be one of my favorite Superhero games, and by far the best game since Spider-Man 2 on PS2 back in '04.

    Peter is exactly the way he has to be, he is responsible, he gets rent late. This is the perfect Peter Parker.

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!

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.

    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.

    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!

    Flawless execution of America's most beloved superhero. Insomniac absolutely crushed it and I've already got the platinum trophy for completion.

Insomniac absolutely crushed it and I've already got the platinum trophy for completion. The game is truly something special, as expectations are rarely met when video games are based off of some other source material. While this does have some differences from classic Spider-Man and is meant to be a prequel for the Spidergeddon comic, this experience feels whole and complete on its own. The story is nothing too revolutionary if you are familiar with the franchise, but still makes a solid effort and treats its characters well. 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

    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.

    Perfect mix of everything that is good about Spider-man. His struggle with duality, his relationships, his resilience. Throw in a great combat system that makes Arkham combat obsolete, a great traversal, satisfying boss battles, and massive set pieces, and this game's the best superhero game to date.

    Good:
    - 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

The combat is insanely rewarding and keeps you on your toes, it can be easy to get overwhelmed so you need to keep on your toes. 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game caused me to create a metacritic, just so I could talk about how great it is. Let me start out by saying: all other games and movies now seem to be mere imitations. In this game, it feels like you are really, truly playing as the one and only Spider-Man. I desperately want more. It's an experience, where after I was done, it was still fun to swing around, solve crimes and beat challenges. Minor spoilers follow.

    Story: I liked the story in Web of Shadows - they really rode the dark undertones well. But it doesn't cut close to the emotional, humorous and gripping story of Marvel's Spider-Man. With a cast of interesting and well-written characters supporting it, no moment is ever boring. I was very impressed with the heavy investment in "the feels" and I can only say to Insomniac: it is great and you can take it even further. I'm ready for the upcoming new game plus, so I can enjoy it all over again.

    Combat: hit the nail! It remains challenging and fun throughout the entire game. While clearly inspired by, they've abandonded the counter-mechanics of the Arkham Series's combat, in favor of rapid movement and dodging. You have a plethora of options to choose from, where as the decision on your best move has to be made in the span of half a second, thus making Spidey bounce around and doing the coolest stunts in a most spectaclar fashion. It feels and looks both smooth and powerful.

    Super battles: there are several villains in this game, one of the earlier ones being Shocker. The chase sequence with him, is probably the only chase in any game, I've ever really enjoyed. It was really fantastic, and it leaves a lot of room for choice of traversal. And then they made the interesting choice of pairing the super villains up late game, which worked insanely well. I wish they'd have moved away from the tradition of endlessly repeated patterns, but having two baddies at the same time, sure upped the game tremendously.

    Traversal: swinging is the best ever, no doubt. They've created a system, where nothing stops you - you can just keep going. It's something that you really have to practice to be good at, but when you do... Wow!

    Side activities:
    All fun! I only wished they'd maybe include more side quests related to smaller villains, like they did with Tombstone. Hammer Head, Hydroman, Jack O Lantern, Hitman, Silvermane... The Rose, maybe. That would've been really fun, but of course only if they made them interesting characters too, not just for the sake of including them.

    Now I cna only wait for the DLC and hopefully in the future: the next game :D Huge success and congratulations on making the most perfect Spider-Man experience ever, Insomniac.

You can perform tricks in the air, web zip, a zip to point move that will launch you forward resulting in a huge speed boost, wall running transitions from a web, a move that will let you do a cool zip through a water tower or anything that looks like a tunnel, and much more. It's fighting system is very entertaining and satisfying, Using your gadgets during a fight will change your odds and you will always have the upper hand if you know what you are doing, but you aren't invincible, if you get hit you will face the consequences because you wouldn't have invincibility frames. You will actually need to be focused on what you are doing and not just press square. Aerial combos will also give you a leg up as some enemies will not be able to hit you, but the more you go into the game, the more challenging it will be as there is so many diverse enemies with many abilities and looks. This is not like Batman at all, this is a Spider-Man game. Spider-Man PS4 has taken its inspiration of combat from Spider-Man 2 as it both has aerial attacks, web grabs, swing kicks, and similar fluid combat style. The story is spectacular with many funny moments and when it gets serious, it goes over the top with amazing voice acting and realistic facial expressions. Conversations between characters are natural and are very entertaining. I suggest this game to anyone who has a PS4 even if you don't like Spider-Man because the story will give you laughs and tears. 10/10 will play everyday. Expand

    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.
