    The game is nice but the story is not very good because the game is a spiderman game, so the story of spiderman is not good for me because the stories are cliché. Boss fights are so boring. It's very fun to play. The graphics are beautiful. Walking around the city is a fun, must-have game.

    My score:10/8

    me ha encanado la expansión la ciudad que nunca duerme extendiendo el juego a unos 4 o 6 horas de jugabilidad pero limitando un poco la ciudad.

    he de decir que spiderman cayo en buenas manos con imsomnia, han echo un gran trabajo con el personaje y se nota que han aprendido de los títulos previos de Activision y binox.    … Expand

    The definitive Spider-Man experience in video games. The most important part of any Spider-Man game should be how well it feels to actually swing around as him. And they nailed that here. Everything else, the good story, the good combat, the good map, the good graphics, the good side content, is the cherry on top.

    I'm genuinely torn on scoring this game. On one hand the traversal mechanics are so smooth that it's easy to find one's self thinking as if they're actually Spider-Man himself.

On one hand the traversal mechanics are so smooth that it's easy to find one's self thinking as if they're actually Spider-Man himself. I can spend (and have spent) copious amounts of time just swinging around Manhattan. Subway? What subway? Manhattan itself is stunningly beautiful. Colors pop, the world feels alive, small details (like AC unit fans) are present in abundance. The proper tie ins to the larger Marvel universe are there and do not feel shoehorned in. The city functions as a character of its own.

    On the other hand, what the game offers is just your bog-standard open world collect-a-thon fare. The map is littered with collections, almost as bad as the map of London from Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Towers to climb (err, hack), backpacks to find, research stations to complete, landmarks to photograph, pigeons to gather, Black Cat locations to scout, Fisk and Demon bases to plunder, thug and Demon crimes to stop, the list goes on. Like the aforementioned Assassin's Creed franchise, only a handful of these tie into the actual story, most are just there to pad overall playtime and are incidental only to the location or a specific character -- essentially there to do just because you're the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. And that's fine to a point, but it becomes tiresome after a while just like every other collect-a-thon open world game. Keep in mind that Ubisoft pioneered this format of open world game and with the latest iterations of their franchises they've fundamentally changed and/or toned down the litter-the-world-with-collectables formula because it was wearing thin on players.

    The combat is merely "ok". It's your standard combo button beat-em-up with webslinging/aerial maneuvers interspersed throughout. It's similar to the Batman Arkham series but a bit more frenetic. Stealth is less important than the Batman series but still very useful. If you're rusty with the old combo button/Arkham combat mechanics, it will take a bit to reacquaint yourself but once you unlock a few skills and a couple of suits combat generally becomes easy except on the hardest difficulty setting where the AI just become gods of combat.

    All in all it's worth playing but I just don't see it being an 9 or 10 game. It's the same open world, combo brawler design that we've all burned out on since late last generation. Beyond its city traversal method and great attention to detail on the cityscape itself, the game doesn't really bring anything new to the genre.    … Expand

The biggest difference being that this isn't based on any movie. Of course, developer Insomniac Games have added their own personal touches to the experience in the form of things like an RPG leveling up system, upgradeable Spidey gadgets, special suit powers, and the ability to grapple towards and launch yourself from various points in the environment in what feels like a natural evolution of the movement mechanics found in their decent, but pretty underwhelming Sunset Overdrive. The most significant addition however is the inclusion of meaningful side-content for the first time in the wall-crawler's long career on home consoles.

    As you progress a variety of optional tasks, challenges, and even small storylines will begin popping up across the map at regular intervals. Their quality varies wildly from legitimately entertaining (timed Taskmaster tests) to mundane (pigeon-catching), but I felt compelled to do them all regardless thanks to their relative brevity. This doesn't follow the Ubisoft structure of littering your screen with hundreds of icons to check-off. Rather, each activity type comes in handfuls to add just a few extra hours of playtime instead of keeping you busy for months on end.

    What ultimately most makes this title worth picking up is its original story. Like I said earlier, this isn't some film tie-in, but also isn't set in any previously established continuity either. Insomniac have actually created their own universe complete with unique takes on the brand's history, characters, and lore. It leads to a tale that, while implementing a great deal of novel changes to deep-seated key elements, remains faithful to the true essence of who Spider-Man is with strong, surprisingly emotional writing that sets up so many exciting venues for them to go in the future. It's by far the greatest distinguishing part of the package.

    The overall familiarity keeps this from being something I can truly rave about, yet at the same time stands as the reason I enjoyed it so much. I was transported back to the PS2 era over the course of this superhero adventure. Memories of playing the titles derived from the Raimi works and Ultimate came flooding back, and accompanied by the smoothest gameplay Parker has seen so far outside of the occasional glitches you'll encounter. As a result, I can do nothing than recommend that every web-head fan pick this up, even if only for the nostalgic feeling alone.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed it. They managed to polish it so well that it looks and plays like it should. Anything outside of the storyline is boring af though. Do yourself a favour and get the regular version without the dlcs, as they don't add anything worth playing and only prolong the boring open world experience.

    It's not Insomniacs best but it was pretty alright. My biggest issue with the game is that it's a bit too 'wholesome' for my tastes which makes it a bit bland. The gameplay loop is also fine but just not anything special.

    The gameplay is very fun. Swinging didn't initially interest me, but once you get used to it, and become optimal, it's really a lot of fun. Also the game allows for fast travelling which helps reduce it getting boring.

    One thing this game made me thing a lot though is how great the Rocksteady Batman Arkham games were. A lot of spider-man fet directly copied, and the combat and gadets did feel like knock offs of the batman games.
    However, the game is still fun despite this I just hope the batman games are revisited on ps5.
    I highly recommend spider-man rematsered if you ahven't played that version. I only had a few crashes playing the game after beating the story and side missions. So no crashes until then.    … Expand

I never felt like a powerful superhero, I felt like a frog in a blender. Then there is the rest of the game...a miserable slog of open world cliches. Go here, fetch that, collect this, investigate that, all as lazy excuses to force you to explore the map. I could forgive it if it meshed naturally with the game, but it’s so lazy and contrived, I just rolled my eyes with each new fetch quest they introduced. Seriously, go catch pigeons all over town? Collect crap from your backpacks? It’s just busy work to make the game feel longer and adds nothing to the narrative.

    I absolutely adore the Batman games, everything about them, from the graphics, the story, the combat, even the grind, they’re absolutely beautiful, but spiderman feels like a cheap, wonky knock off. I can’t help but feel the people that praise this game have never played another sandbox type game, because this is all just reheated leftovers from every other game of this type that came before it. There is nothing new here, and what they have rehashed is so lazy and mind numbing I can’t even bring myself to finish the game. 30 hours, I gave it 30 hours and I’ll not give it one more.

    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.

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.
