    This game is stunningly flawless. Out of this world graphics, great dialog and story and memorable characters that grow and have believable motivations paired with fun control schemes and well distributed action.

    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.

Swinging through out the city is so much fun. it never feels boring. Fast travel is unlocked further in the game but i found myself taking long way and swinging through out the city and enjoying the view. Attention to detail is just mind blowing. Sometimes i would look through windows of buildings to see what is inside. there. the game is amazing experience from beginning to the end. it is great value with tons of stuff to do. well worth $100CAN i paid for deluxe version. The game also feels fair. it was not hard nor easy to platinum the game. this is the best Superhero game in my opinion. I did play Batman games and they were great in its own right but if i had to chose only one it would be Spider-man for me.    … Expand

    Wow, what a game. The most fun I've had playing video games all year, this one will be tough to beat for GOTY! As good as the Arkham series was, this makes me feel like a superhero more than any game I've ever played. Well done, Insomniac.

    Easily the best Spider-Man game I've ever played.

    Let me tell you. I wasn't particularly excited about playing a Spider-Man game. But after looking at how good the game looked and some good reviews I decided to give it a shot. And man. This is one of the best games I´ve played this year. The gameplay is simply awesome. So many combat options. Navigating the city feels so natural and ultimately you can do almost everything you've seen Spider-Man doing in the comics, movies and so on. It´s hard to describe. You need to play it. Amazingly on top of that already awesome gameplay is a living New York filled with things to do. An awesome attention to detail that sometimes gets lost as you are focused on swinging across the city. But it´s there. Every landmark, every popular place. The really top notch acting. The story that really is some of the best even when compared to Spider-Man movies. Strangely showing in a video game, sides of the characters that sometimes get lost in Hollywood movies. But above all, the creative liberties the developers took really upped the narrative. I won't spoil it for anyone reading this. But this is a Spider-Man story worth experiencing. Don´t worry. It won't just be yet another Spider-Man story. And there is so much content and activities to take part on. Varied and fun. And it´s up to you to decide if you want to play them all or skip those that you don't enjoy as much. Personally, I've been doing them all. Anyway, you know you are playing a good game when. 1 - You just can't stop playing it. 2- You just don't want it to end even though you know eventually you will exhaust the content and main story the game has to offer. Do not thing of this game as yet another Batman Arkham or Second Son. It has many elements of those games but it raises to the top offering an unique experience. There are other more hyped games out there either that have already come out or about to be released. But believe me. You don't want to miss out on this one.    … Expand

    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. Having the different outfits of Spider-Man peaked my interestSpider-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. 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    … Expand

I hate exclusivity. It causes rifts between a community that should all be on the same side. In fear of this becoming a review on our species, i will talk about the game.

    Insomniac made big promises and built up a lot of hype, and i had my doubts. But this game delivers. Really, it does. The effort and love is seeping from every frame. This is THE ultimate spider-man. I have not been able to stop playing. Its every spider-man fans wet dream. Combat is exciting and challenging and suprisingly complex, graphics are stunning even on a vanilla ps4, and traversal is nothing short of masterpiece status.

    If you're one of those spiteful people creating multiple accounts just to drag this game (and therefore the people buying it) down, i urge you to consider what you're doing. We are all gamers. we should be united. Use your hatred to combat something that is genuinely worth fighting. For example, the PC disgrace that is battlefield 5. Just consider it please.

    There are so many reasons to be angry as gamers these days, but turding on the few good games we do get really isnt a good idea. We need to praise the good ones as much as possible. So that developers realise that we only accept quality..

    Pick your fights guys. Gaming is precious, good games are becoming more and more rare. Just try to look at things on the bigger scale. This game does not deserve your anger.    … Expand

    "Spider-Man" for PlayStation 4 is the "Spider-Man" game I never knew I wanted, but I'm so glad that I got it: rumors first abounded in 2016 that it was Sucker Punch, not Insomniac Games, that would be creating a new "Spider-Man" game, and given the work they put into "Sly Cooper" and "inFamous," I was already hitting the hype-thrusters. Eventually, at E3, we learned it was actually"Spider-Man" for PlayStation 4 is the "Spider-Man" game I never knew I wanted, but I'm so glad that I got it: rumors first abounded in 2016 that it was Sucker Punch, not Insomniac Games, that would be creating a new "Spider-Man" game, and given the work they put into "Sly Cooper" and "inFamous," I was already hitting the hype-thrusters. Eventually, at E3, we learned it was actually Insomniac, the people behind "Spyro," "Ratchet & Clank" and "Sunset Overdrive" making the game...but screw it, I love Insomniac, too, so keep those hype-thrusters rolling! Marvel was finally out of the whole Activision deal and announced they were working with the best game devs to make titles that would be faithful to their characters (still waiting on that "Avengers" project, Square Enix) and my excitement was through the roof! And as more and more gameplay was being shown, I had a feeling it would be something special, potentially even eclipsing the high-standard set by "Spider-Man 2" back in the day. And let me tell you, it does more than eclipse that.
    "Spider-Man" for PlayStation 4 plays like a dream. Never has swinging around the city felt more emphatic, and the combat even feels refined and exciting. The boss fights are tense but rewarding, and general combat is fun and rather challenging as well. I've heard some critics complain about the game's world, but i personally find it to just be brimming with excitement, and the city leaves a huge impression on you even after the game is finished. Hell, even looking at the city alone is worth it, because the game's visuals are spectacular: the city is beautiful, the game is brimming with color, and the cinematics are well-designed, too. The gameplay is varied, the storyline is emotional and fantastic in how it deals with themes of hard choices, and the characters are as charming and lovable as you remember (I especially like the dynamic between Peter and MJ's relationship, it's so easy to root for them).
    There's not much I can complain about here, this is easily one of my favorite games of the year, and one of the best superhero games I've ever played. It more than eclipses "Spider-Man 2," it sets a new standard for Marvel games that many future games may struggle to reach (well, except the potential sequels, but still). From a film standpoint, "Homecoming" and, recently, "Into the Spider-Verse" seem to be proving that Spidey's still kicking and avoiding franchise fatigue, and this game does little to dispel that notion: it only proves that Spidey's hitting on all cylinders now. If you haven't gotten to play this game yet...well, what are you waiting for? Go play it!

    The game also looks amazing. I'm running an OG PS4 and the graphics are amazing. Unlock the comic spider suit and you can see just how realistic the people and objects look next to a 2-D Spider-Man. On top of that, the voice acting cast is deep and talented. The total package is the most polished open world game I've played since Horizon Zero Dawn. My only complaint is that the streets are filled with too few types of video game people.

    The story itself is an epic thrill ride with a truly cinematic ending. If you really want to enjoy the story, play the Friendly Neighborhood mode and forget about having to unlock everything. Otherwise be ready to take down bases and perform challenges to upgrade your gear. I would say that most of the gear can be bypassed, and maybe only 1/2 the challenges need to be completed before the final boss fights. The completionist that I am, I finished all side quests before advancing the story. Because I love the gameplay, I loved playing all of the repetitive content. I feel like a hypocrite because I tired of Ubisoft's open world bases long ago and lambasted Arkham Knight for it's overuse of bases. Maybe I'm inherently biased toward Spider-Man. Maybe its the limited nature of the bases and lack of padding that makes other games a slog to play. Assuming you don't die and restart too often, the game is a tight experience.

    Without hesitation, I label this game a must play. You will love it. I guarantee it.    … Expand

    This game was simply amazing. As a long time fan of the spider, they captured everything. The web slinging down the streets is physics based, no more swinging from nothing. You can change speeds by releasing the web at different times. The combat felt fluid. The combat system is very much like a Batman Arkham game but more forgiving for missing the perfect timing window. The storyThis game was simply amazing.

From top to bottom this game is definitely a 10 out of 10. I'm not sure the people posting negative reviews even played the same game. I played both this and Miles Morales on my ps5 and framerate differences were minimal. The reflections and graphics did look better on Miles but that didn't effect the game play. I never has the issue that one person is complaining about, the framerate drop after using a web. Nothing about this game felt sluggish at all. The other complaint about playing as MJ for a whole 15 minutes must have never read a Spiderman comic in their life. The story was almost always involving MJ in some way. As for the quips, another person who's never read a Spiderman comic and just goes by what the Fox and MCU movies did. If you know what to expect from a Spiderman that's true to the comics then you're in for a treat, if you're expecting Toby McGuire or MCU Spiderman then you won't be as happy… Expand

    Hands down the definitive spider man title for this generation of consoles. Best in class animations, gameplay, visuals, soundtrack and story.

    I played through this game and never had a moment where I had to say "well this could have been better." In my opinion, this beats Batman Arkham City to be the best super-hero game. Even when replaying the game, it's not boring cause the combat is so much fun. This is a game done right. And I think it is still under-rated for the score it has on here.

    The city is truly alive, people shout out at you like you expect, some love you, others hate you (thanks JJ!) and the story for this Peter is amazing.

    Combat in my opinion, beats the Dark Knight (sorry Bat fans), it is more fluid and high speed, and you always have to use every advantage in your arsenal to win, because you are always massively out-numbered.

    The story is superb too. First time not having to play the death of Ben or finding out how Parker got his powers, just jumping straight in with an experience Spidey makes this much more fun.

    Main story is rumoured to be 22hrs roughly, depending on difficulty level, but honestly you will never just go from mission to mission, I end up going to towers, to backpacks, to research labs, to minor crimes, and just go swinging about because I can. so the story will definitely last longer than that for me.

    All in all, amazing game, definitely worth owning a PS4 to play, and games like this is why I own other consoles and not just my PC.

I've seen the animated cartoon from the 90s and the Sam Raimi films, and that's about the extent of my knowledge. That aside, I am thoroughly enjoying this game!

    With only about 50% of the game completed, I feel like I have done so much already! This game immerses you in to Spider-Man AND Peter Parker's life in a way that no previous iteration as done before. Swinging through the city as Spider-Man has never felt more fun. It took a little while to get used to the controls while swinging, and a times it does get away from you, but it looked so fluid and quickly became my favorite part of the game!

    Marvel's Spider-Man has a rich story filled with villains and characters casuals would know and some that will be new to us (I'm definitely a casual), but the game does a great job introducing them to us and even providing a little backstory as to why they are friend or foe. There's of course a main story that will take you hours to complete, but the life of this game is extended by all the side missions you can complete.

    As stated, I'm only 50% through the game because I keep getting distracted by all the side missions. These vary from beating up baddies robbing a store, chasing down vehicles filled with armed cronies, or taking pictures of New York City landmarks. I found the latter to be very interesting because it truly shows how much effort the developers put in to making Spidey's NYC come to life. Trust me, as the side mission icons pop up along the expansive map, you will find yourself swinging to the next main point of the story only to decide "Well, since I'm close by..." and choose to go find that hidden backpack or take a picture of Avenger's Tower.

    The combat of this game is great. While I was a bit turned off in the beginning that it was the standard "Press Circle to Jump and Press Square to attack" kind of button mashing game, the different combat moves that could come from these standard buttons really made Spidey come alive. His acrobatic dodges and fluid kicks were fun to perform on enemies. Webbing them to walls, stealing their weapons away and using the various Spidey Gadgets added so much to the combat. Almost like an RPG, as you perform tasks you gain XP which can be used to outfit Spider-Man with different skills (like the aforementioned weapon stealing), costumes and gadgets. Each suit you purchase comes with a Suit Power that can help you in many ways. I've definitely found my favorite power, but I'm sure all can come in handy at various points. The game is very generous and allows you to use any unlocked suit power on any suit you choose. They aren't just limited to the suit you purchased to get that specific power.

    As mentioned before, this game also gives you an inside look into Peter Parker's life. There are segments of the game where you play Peter and you, of course, interact with the important people in his life, such as Aunt May and Mary Jane. Through Pete's side of the story, you also get to play as other characters for certain segments. I won't spoil who these other characters are, but I felt these sections added a lot to the story.

    Spider-Man isn't just a run around a beat foes up kind of game. In some parts you are required to solve puzzles. These aren't pull your hair out crazy, but I did like the fact they took some thought to complete. I found many of them pretty fun.

    This game gets a perfect score from me. Honestly, the only downside I've found are some of the side battles are pretty repetitive, but that doesn't make it any less fun to pummel the bad guys, so it truly is canceled out.

    This has probably been the most fun I've had playing a video game since Uncharted 4. With only being 50% done with the game, and that's probably only counting the main story progression, I am extremely excited to see where the rest of the adventure takes me.    … Expand

When you play it, you dont feel forced to complete side activities, it just feels interesting to finish everything and lower the criminal activity in the city. The amount of effort that's been put in every detail of the game is something that i really appreciate. When i feel that passion and hard work that has been put in the game, i can only give it a 10. And now - story.. I won't spoil anything, i like the story, it reminded me of the old Spiderman games, with which i grew up. The amount of bosses is good and it never gets boring. I didn't expected such a good game, it is worth the money for sure.… Expand

    A little late to the party, but this is one of the best games I've ever played. Similar in feel and scope to the Arkham games, I very much feel like I'm playing Spiderman.

    Spiderman es el mejor juego de Marvel por muy lejos, cada misión, cada pelea y hasta cada coleccionable le brinda al jugador una experiencia única e irrepetible, y más si sos un fan de Marvel como yo, lleno de referencias al mundo Marvel por todo el mapa.
    El combate es muy fluido, los personajes entrañables, el mapa es perfecto, todo en el juego es perfecto o casi perfecto.

    Marvel's Spider-Man is the game fans have been waiting for. The gameplay, both web-swinging and combat, are fluid and fun. The graphics and animations are some of the best this generation, especially for an open world game.

The voice acting and performances from the cast as well are fantastic and help strengthen the great writing even more. 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. Overall the game is fantastic and lives up to the hype. It is a game that not only Spider-Man and superhero fans can enjoy, but gamers in general as both the gameplay and storytelling are top notch.… 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.

    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.
