    Let's preface this review with the fact that the main story-line is stellar. The voice acting is great, the polish is great, the spectacle is great, the writing is well done, etc etc.

    Why give this game a 7/10 then? Well because that is a small portion of the game, maybe like 10 hours of the whole 20-30 hours is done on the main story.

    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.

    Main story-line: 8 or 9 but super short.
    Side content: 4/10

    Honestly I'm being generous not giving this game a 6/10    … Expand

    Another game where I don't understand the reviews, terrible game, played on ps5 is almost unplayable graphics look much older then when game was release I would say looks like a game from 2010, super repetitive always the same boring missions plus terrible world, giving it 2 points is generous.

    The game doesn't really bring any new mechanics to the open world genre but it's for sure a Spriderman game with a proper Spiderman story and proper Spiderman animations. If you enjoy Spiderman this is a real treat.

    Amazing game, but not in every inch. Swinging between the buildings in Manhattan feels very good, but side missions can be repetitive after the 10th battle.

    This game really blew me away. you do not control the camera so at times you will swing kick an enemy back into frame, it felt like I was playing a comic book. the controls reminded me of an old arcade beat em up in the best way. swinging trash cans into thugs, latching onto a jetpack guy and pummeling him while flying around, the boss fights, everything was wonderful.

It does take a couple of hours of the game to just get used to the controls, and at first it may feel clunky, but getting used to it I realised how fluent it was. It's just fun, and exactly what I wanted it to be. The combat is fun... for a while however, especially after finishing the game, it just gets boring. You do the same moves over and over with the same combinations. While the game gives you A LOT of options on how you play, which I am still discovering and having fun with, the core combat of the game remains the same. It vastly compares to Batman: Arkham city, it's much more in depth than just clicking one button the entire game which was a very welcome take on it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvel's Spider-Man is my favorite video game of 2018, my favorite superhero video game, my favorite Marvel video game, and my favorite video game of all time. The graphics, the design of the city, and the characters designs are phenomenal and I love how realistic everything looks. The gameplay is stupendous especially the missions, the combat, the web-swinging ability, all of the gadgets you can use, and all of the interactive objects throughout the city. I love the characterization it is amazing. The writing and narrative throughout the whole game is outstanding, at times sad, at time touching, and I love how realistic it feels. The voice acting performances are excellent especially from Yuri Lowenthal, Tara Platt, Laura Bailey, Nicole Blise, Travis Willingham, Darin De Paul, Nancy Linari, William Salyers, Corey Jones, Stephen Oyoung, and Nadji Jeter. Also I love the open world part of the game. I love every part of this game. I give this game a definite A+.… Expand

I have never seen such a developed and beautiful game run this well and control so effortlessly. The story is fun but has some boring missions, however, the story pushes through with a lot of high stakes on the line. My biggest flaw with this game is the boring unmemorable soundtrack and the boring boss fights. Every boss fight is easy except the first one at the beginning of the game because you are still getting the hang of fighting a bunch of people at once. Not to mention it is the EXACT SAME animation every time you hit them. I realize it's not the biggest thing to harp on but they build up all this tension for the boss fights but they are so underwhelming. The soundtrack is horrendously forgettable and I am struggling to recall a single track to my mind. Marvel is notorious for having forgettable music in their movies (with exceptions to Guardians of The Galaxy) but, this games music is so lackluster to the experience you are getting. I may have been bashing on the game a lot more than praising it but, Marvel's Spider-Man is a MUST HAVE for any PS4 owner. The combat and the movement is done so well that I didn't even focus on the story because I was just swinging through the city collecting items and stopping crime. If you have a PS4, you owe it to yourself to try this game and see the talent that Insomniac has brought to the table.… Expand

    I would've given this game a 9/10 or even a 10/10 for the main campaign because the game was stable, polished and fun to play with an amazing story. It was definitely my game of the year. Unfortunately I had the misfortune of playing the 3 DLC packs too and it ruined this game for me. The DLC was repetitive, annoying and just feels like a cash-grab.

The combat system is built on the fact that the player does not receive a large number of different combinations when pumping, but from the whole set of what is in the beginning and a little added when pumping abilities to combine and juggle with all this, and it looks quite nice and dynamic.
    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

The boss fights are kinda underwhelming most of them are easy. The ending cutscene was great showing harry as venom made me jump out of my seat.

Made by Insomniac, w/ no real big titles to their name, they had their work cut out for them. But it fell flat. Straight away I could tell that they had copied aspects straight out of Infamous, Batman Arkham, and Mordor series but without any of the fun. Spider-Man's system is actually worse & those were made over 10yrs ago! Also, looks like it just brought Amazing Spider-Man 2 to 2018.

    The gameplay, oh boy. Combat is fresh at first but grows stale & button mashing as 20 enemies all attack you at once because they didn't figure out a combat system for 1 or 2 at a time. It's hard to take someone out when you have to continuously dodge bullets, fists & rockets. Originally the game started out as though you’d be able to do combos but you never truly do. Your successful hits just add up to an x-multiplier that gives you a finisher move. The boss battles are some of the worst I’ve experienced; they don’t deserve the name ‘boss’. They are time-based, not health-based. Hit them down this many times, story progresses. Boring, just supposed to do same 2 moves each time. What's the point of all my powers I invested in? Of course they call in goons who proceed to mosh pit you & send rockets into your face. In the end you’re hoping for the bittersweet release from this awful battle that seems never-ending. I couldn't stop dying in one battle with thousands of powers and guns being tossed at me. Put out all four drones, battle was over in 10sec. What? How is that supposed to make you feel powerful? To mix up combat you have to use the different spider gadgets but you have to pull the radial menu open to access them which is disengaging. Not to mention there is next to no tutorial for how to do anything; swinging, how to use the gadgets to their fullest, etc.

    Story-wise it begins well like the gameplay but by 50% in you see no end in sight & are just crying to be done already. You take out Fisk in the first 15mins, leaving a vacuum for all sorts of new villains to fill but oh wait all the powered villains are locked up leaving us with a boring new villain where everyone uses the same sort of ability & his story doesn't make much sense. Not only that but by the 50% mark you send him to jail & have a prison fight where everyone escapes just so we can throw in more villains who are never established in this story. Best parts are with Peter & Doc Octavius but they are few & far between. “I should tell the doc to buy more of those little cheese squares.” Peter is finally a scientist or at least an assistant to Otto but you aren't in the lab very often and when you are you're doing pipe & matching puzzles (you’ll do this a lot!) You think that they’re setting up the story for a sequel to have Doc Ock but oh wait he’s in here too! At the flip of a switch Octavius turns from a caring individual who wants to help people & adores Peter to a raging psychopath. The story even says that the arms would affect a person’s mental state over time, the Doc’s happens in a few story hours. Norman Osbourne is barely a character (he’s mayor?). You see him off in the distance a few times, up close once where he barely seems to remember that you're his son's best friend. Octavius hates him but it's not fleshed out why. MJ’s character is completely wrong from the comics (she’s not Lois Lane). The ending was a complete flop. There was no real weight to it & all the possible emotion that could have been put into it, similar to the Spider-Man 2 movie, was non-existent.

    They do a good job of making sure you don't know how long the real game is (story missions) because you're forced to do cruddy side missions to unlock things. Story missions feel the shortest parts of the game. Times after story missions where Peter goes 'Oh I should make sure the city is okay.' & you're supposed to go do these side crimes aka filler before continuing. 1st DLC is decent, you get Black Cat which is a nice change of pace but the other two are hollow cash-grabs.

    Best part of the story and the game is Jameson’s radio show. His VA is top notch and sounds exactly like JJJ should. The shows are hilarious & the only part of the game I’ll remember for a long time.

    Overall I enjoyed my time with the first 50% of the game, it was fun swinging through the city & taking down bad guys with my many abilities & gadgets. But then the story just becomes cluttered with characters & muddled story & I just didn't have as much fun. Usually the battles descended into 'what am I doing?' or 'is the battle over yet?' I certainly don't think it's the greatest game (or even the greatest SM game) ever made. There are many flaws which detract from it & I don't see myself playing it a 2nd time. If you want to play it, buy the GOTY edition on sale. Or if you want better superhero games with amazing story, play Infamous 1&2 and the Batman Arkham series (particularly Origins).    … 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.
