    ok so marvels spiderman the first spiderman that did it right or so they say well yes mostly and no let me explain: insomniac did a great job with this game the attention to detail and the amount of easter eggs and references and cameos can make every marvel geek scream out of excitement but its their first one so there are some things they did kinda bad so ill make this review short andok so marvels spiderman the first spiderman that did it right or so they say well yes mostly and no let me explain: insomniac did a great job with this game the attention to detail and the amount of easter eggs and references and cameos can make every marvel geek scream out of excitement but its their first one so there are some things they did kinda bad so ill make this review short and simple no rent review lets start with the negatives

    cons-

    -firstly there are a lot of bugs like a lot and i mean that even after the day one patch there were bugs that sometimes broke my missions

    -the introducing of the new suit sucks and even at the end game when you get another even more powerful suit they introduce it really badly

    -another introducing problem they had is the gadget introducing it felt like he makes high tech gadgets out of thin air no lab to work on them no nothing

    - there are to much collectibles and collectible missions that actually made me sick like there are useless ones like collect 12 pigeons for some guy like wtf really ? im here to save you from a negative powered chinese guy and you send me to collect your pigeons

    -most of the bosses from the side missions suck which brings me to the previous con even awesome mini bosses like taskmaster ask you to complete like 12 or something challenges before you can fight them which is really cancerous if you ask me and the black cat stakeouts where you just find her base and she gives you a suit and if you wanna fight her buy the dlc because f you gimme money

    -the stealth parts with marry jane and miles are really cancerous like really why do i need to do it like 4 5 times there was like just one where you can do a silent take down with a shocker the other ones just suck

    -marry janes character especially in the first saga (there are 2 sagas in the game) is really feminist and annoying (which is not like her) like for example peter saves her from a base full with guards she gets mad and tries to prove that shes a strong woman and bull sh like that but then in the second saga peter saves her from another stealth mission she thanks him and tells him what she gathered and then motivates him to win against the bad guys (like the normal marry jane should)

    -another con and its my personal one is where the hell is everyone like im not even talking about black panther or dr strange or even the avengers (which have their establishments in the game) im talking underdogs like dare devil and luke cage why is there no cameo in the game even the slightest one that part really annoyed me

    pros

    - again the attention to detail in this game is crazy insomniac really went crazy one that part

    - you can unsub from jjj podcast and not listen to his complains

    - i said it already but again the amount of references and cameos and easter eggs just wow

    -i really liked the fact that they went with an older more experienced spiderman and didnt go all uncle ben trauma thingy

    -miles is awesome and the after ending scene was awesome plus they fixed marry janes character from an annoying feminist to a loved and cared character that supports you

    -the combat in this game does copy batman arkham series but they did change it up a bit for example if two people attack you at once you cant double counter attack like batman the whole point of the combat in this game is being agile and everywhere like spiderman

    - the parkur and the feeling of traversing threw the city is just wow you really feel like this is the perfect spiderman experience

    - another pro in my opinion is the fact that they didnt use the stereotypical villains like goblin venom and carnage they actually used the other ones that get less attention

    all in all this game is just a blast to play and i personally finished it 100% so my final score to this game is a 810 go buy it its the only spiderman game that did it right since web of shadows i think XD    … Expand

    Spiderman is a must have game if you own a PS4. It boasts gorgeous visuals, really fun mechanics, and a solid story too. It’s comes with some problems, specifically with some long load times, annoying Ubisoft towers and predictable early game story moments, but it’s still a great game that’s worthy of the praise it’s been getting.

    I am so glad that a Insomniac still knows how to make games (no offense to younger gamers) but this is by far the best game out in 2018. It's a beautiful game all around. The story is amazing, all characters are intriguing and game play is amazing. This game is a must for everyone who love games. The only con i really have is that it feels like Akrham but in a spider-man point of view.

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.

If this is what you think, there's a 50/50 chance that you are playing it wrong. It's a direct clone from Spider-Man 2, only it has been improved. The spider sense dodging mechanic has always existed before Arkham.

    Why won't I give it a perfect score? There are many bosses. what it lacks are the boss fights. Four of the bosses, you fight two at the same time and it ended too quickly. You'll find the climax of the story is very close to the conclusion. Fortunately, the side missions distracts you from this flaw.    … Expand

    Contrary to what some people say, I've never found a game breaking bug, nor a issue within the game. I only found 1 bug that made me reload a checkpoint in a mission, and since the checkpoint system is so well done it wasn't even an issue.

    The map is greatly done and all side activities have a purpose towards the progress of Spidey in the game, either by crafting or unlocking skills or new gadgets. No side activity gives the feel that the Assassin's Creed ones do.

    The only thing that they could have improved are the secondary characters gameplay sessions. They had good lore and added something to the story, but the gameplay itself wasn't special and could have been more interesting.

    This was my first time ever playing a Spider-Man game, and it was awesome. The graphics, sound, acting, and web-swinging was phenomenal. It made me want to play for hours and hours.

    If I had a few gripes, it would be these:

    1) The stealth sections not involving Spider-Man are can get on ya at times
    2) The game did crash on me once, but only once.

The opening moments of this game are memorable because of the graphical fidelity and the amazing feel of swinging around New York. The combat starts off simple enough where you can learn the basics without feeling overwhelmed and only expands from there. As you learn more moves the combat becomes more satisfying (especially when you learn how to pull enemies up to you and throw them down at another enemy). The gadgets are also very well done and can help turn the tide of a battle. Each gadget is unique and serves a purpose in a fight. Another great aspect of the combat is you can't simply button mash. There are a varied number of enemy types and many will kill you if you simply mash the attack button. Learning how to counter them so you can attack is important and also satisfying. One aspect of the game that isn't perfect is the open world collectables. These very from collecting Peter Parkers backbacks that he lost in High School, chasing down Pigeons for a homeless man, taking pictures of landmarks (which is actually fun), and more. I actually enjoyed these collectables (because I'm a trophy hunter) but many people may feel like this is tedious work. Luckily the web swinging feels amazing and getting from one place to another is also exciting and never gets old. There is a fast travel system will the subway but I very rarely used it because why would you? The world is beautiful and exploring it is even better. When you aren't swinging around you can walk around New York and see how realistic the population is. From people reacting to you, to actual street laws. The detail put into civilian life is simply amazing because you won't notice it 99% of the time. The different suits are also amazing and offer unique abilities which you can attach to your favorite suit. Finally, the main story is well done and engaging but not revolutionary. The way Insomniac created this original story that isn't based off any comic or film is worth mentioning. Seeing a character in a new light is always welcomed and I enjoyed that very much. The acting and motion capture is top notch and help elevate the story and writing. Once the story gets going you won't want to put the controller down. There are also a handful of side quests which are good but not necessary. There is one side quest that offers some unique gameplay but a majority of them are the same. Overall, Marvel's Spider-Man is a great game and improves upon all other Insomniac games and takes the best part of those games. I can't wait for the sequel which will no doubt improve upon this game!… 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!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I always expected Spider Man to be really good, but I didn't expect it to become the best Spider Man game ever, the best Superhero game since the Batman Arkham games.
    A beautiful open world, thrilling combat, and adrenaline-inducing web-slinging. Everything you'd want, Spider Man has it. Unfortunately, the side activities do tend to become somewhat repetitive, but are still worth pursuing to upgrade the spider suit and gadgets.
    However, the best surprise for me was the story. This game manages to create a likable and believable iteration of both Spider Man and Peter Parker, in addition to an ensemble of complex supporting characters and villains, each connected by equally complex relationships. Whether it be the love story between Peter and Mary Jane, the violent war between Otto Octavious and Norman Osbourne, or the fall from grace of Martin Li, all the characters feel like genuine individuals with morals and desires. The story also feature absolutely breathe-taking set pieces, epic boss battles, and unpredictable surprises, none of which I want to spoil.
    Spider-Man is a game that doesn't introduce anything ground-breaking, but it didn't need to. In the end. It's a game made by fans for the fans, both casual and hardcore. Definitely recommend it.    … Expand

Sidequests are typical for these games, but Spidey will keep you entertained with his constant, mostly very funny monologs. In some point of 1 Act fast travel will be aviliable, which is for me normally great news, this is one of a few exceptions, because flying over city with simple yet effective controlls is so addictive and fast, that you will use fast travel maybe for trophy. Last thing I actually knew that insomniac will deliver are fun and effective gadgets and armors with usefull upgrades. They sure know how to make battle extremely fun using hands, legs and spiderweb against guys with rifles and rocket launchers. Even batman would make a bad symbol in his trousers, Parker is fast combo machine that sometimes you dont even know how or what you did, but it looks cool AF and it was smooth.

    Must play and in means of pure fun, absolutely best superhero game.

    It always seems as though licensed video games end up being mediocre cash grabs from greedy developers.

But Insomniac has finally done away with this trend and created one of the most impressiveIt always seems as though licensed video games end up being mediocre cash grabs from greedy developers. Super heroes have been no exception to this idea, as every big Marvel and DC super hero who has been given a video game, besides Batman, has been treated horribly by what their developers create. But Insomniac has finally done away with this trend and created one of the most impressive licensed titles to date.

    "Marvel's Spider-Man" is essentially a reimagining of the 2002 game developed by Treyarch, and throws Spiderman into the open world of Manhattan Island (New York City). As an open world game, Spider-Man succeeds immensely in creating both the feel and scenery of real-world New York City. The world includes enemy bases to reclaim, landmarks to discover, interesting side-quests, and research stations that involve restoring New York to a better state. All of these elements add up to create a fantastic open-world that is both fun to explore and beautiful to look at.

    As far as the story goes, its a really great attempt at creating a brand new story about Peter Parker and his secret life as Spiderman. Though, if you are familiar with the Spider-Man Universe, don't expect to see many surprises, as the majority of the common Spiderman characters are written very similarly to their traditional roots. Thankfully, this does not take away from how well-written and memorable the story is, with the main highlights being the tragedy of Martin Li and the relationship between Dr. Octavius and Peter Parker. I won't spoil exactly what happens, but I will say that it will be something you'll never forget, whether you are a fan of Spiderman or not.

    One of the most impressive elements of this game (and probably my favorite of all) is how fluent and overall fun its gameplay is. I can't tell you how many times I got lost in roaming the city to just swing around and enjoy the scenery while pulling off as many tricks as possible. In addition, the combat system is top notch and only gets even better and deeper as the game progresses, and the number of ways you can go about knocking out enemies (throwing them off buildings, sticking them to walls, silently knocking them out, etc.) only helped to enhance the experience. Unfortunately, this game does have its shortcomings, the biggest one being how repetitive the side missions can feel after awhile, as all of the enemy base camps play out the exact same way and collecting all the backpacks isn't all that fun. Also, even though I love the combat system, it can get kind of boring and frustrating at times.

    In conclusion. "Marvels Spider-Man" is a fantastic game, both as an open-world game and a licensed product. It may not go above and beyond and is not quite a masterpiece, but the sheer amount of enjoyment and satisfaction I got out of playing this game made it well-worth every penny I spent on it. I can't wait to see what Insomniac has in store for the future and I really hope this game ends up ushering in a new era of quality licensed video games.    … Expand

    This usually isn't my type of game but took a look because i support single player games, and man the first few mins in this game had me sold! its so fluid, seamless and beautiful. Insomniac's work is nothing short of spectacular!

    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.
