I think I beat this game in about 18-20 hours but it can take you more if you start doing sidequests. Sometimes in the game you need to do one or two sidequests to keep advancing in the game. This is a good game whether you like spider-man or not. Expand

    Marvel's Spider-Man is easily the best Spider-Man game to date and one of the best superhero games ever made, exclusively on PS4.

    First let me talk about the experience. This game has the best fan service I have ever seen. Nearly every major and minor character from the Spider-Man universe is accounted for (there is even Stan Lee in a sweet, MCU-style cameo), while Spider-Man has to face several of his biggest enemies. The city traversal by web slinging is my favorite part of the whole game, nothing beats the sensation of climbing atop the Avengers Tower or the Oscorp towering HQ. Not to mention how cute it is to greet virtual people on the streets and shake hands with them, or taking selfies with the photo mode. Insomniac Games have done a tremendous job in the fan service department.

    What makes Marvel's Spider-Man stand out from other superhero games is the focus of its story on Peter Parker (who has been a crimefighter for 8 years) as a young adult who struggles to balance his personal, professional and superhero lives. Parker's relationship with Mary Jane and Aunt May is explored in a great way, as well as the relationship between Peter and his mentor. The main plot is not an adaptation of some classic Spider-Man story arc, it's a cinematic re-imagining of the established Marvel Comics mythos of Spider-Man, just like the MCU movies introduced modern takes on classic characters.

    This game is often compared with the Batman Arkham series of games, but it's really based on the PS2-era Spider-Man 2 game. Nevertheless, the fluid combat and traversal system are influenced by the Batman Arkham series and the Spider-Man 2 game. The game's meant to be played by everyone, so if you are a seasoned gamer you better switch difficulty to Hard instead of the standard Normal, this way you'll really enjoy the game and appreciate the combat system's intricacies. The map's layout in districts and the need to clear criminality in each neighbor are inspired by the inFamous series of games. There are also a few stealth sections where you don't control Spider-Man, and have to avoid enemy detection, Metal Gear Solid-style.

    Other than the presence of a few QTEs, the only real downside of this game is that, unlike the main story path, the side content is of varying quality. There are some great side quests, and many others that are repetitive. Sure there is plenty of busy work outside the main story path, like bringing enemy forts down or doing challenges, but variety is lacking.

    On the technical side, the graphics are top notch. There was the usual "downgrade" accusation on Twitter, but it was later proven to be wrong. You can see the whole of New York from the top of a skyscraper with impressive draw distances, and pop-in during web-slinging is almost non-existent. The soundtrack is inspired by the MCU movies and is wonderful. The sound effects are excellent. The voice acting for all the major characters is superb.

    Marvel's Spider-Man is a great game made by Insomniac Games, the first high-calibre game Marvel's got in many years. Just like an MCU movie, this game ends with a couple of post-credits scenes, teasing a potential sequel. Maybe Marvel's Spider-Man will kick off a Marvel Interactive Universe, just like the Iron Man movie initiated the MCU phaenomenon back in 2008. I can't wait for the Avengers game and Marvel's Spider-Man 2!

    Wonderful traversal and combat, silky smooth, beautiful graphics. An entertaining story. Could have just done with a more interactive open world and maybe some mini games to make the game more varied. Once you've completed the story and side challenges, it starts to get a bit repetitive.

    Insomniac made a great game, Is it perfect..No. But what is? Awesome variety of gadgets which combats the repetitive nature of clearing out hideouts, which are in most games anyway.
    Throw in a cool story and smooth web slinging. Instant classic!

    Story

    One of the strongest aspects of this game is the story. The Developers Insomniac set out to not only write a well-written video game story, but it’s also quite apparent that their goal was to write a well written Spider-Man and Peter Parker story. It’s an interesting as you have Spider-Man at his peak, he is hitting on all cylinders but then you have Peter Parker where every aspect of his life is falling apart.

    Favorite Character

    It’s a Spider-Man game so its hard not to pick Spider-Man. I love his little quips and his jokes, there is just something so charming about Spider-Man.

    Puzzles

    This is hands down the worst aspect of the game, there are two types of “puzzles” and they’re both terrible. Luckily there is a setting in the game options that you can skip all puzzles. That way when you’re narratively forced to engage with one of the “puzzles” you can hit the “R1” button and the game instantly solves them.

    Gameplay

    There are two major aspects to the gameplay. The traversal through the world (web swinging) and the combat.

    The swinging is extremely satisfying and just works flawlessly. The way you seamlessly swing through the city and then hit a building and instead of losing momentum, you just switch gears and start running the building. Some of the buildings will have fire escapes on the outside and that’s doesn’t slow you down either. You just start hopping along the fire escapes. A lot of thought went into the mobility of the game and it shows.

    The other major aspect is, as I said the combat which is reminiscent of Arkham franchise but it is different enough. One of the key differences is, in Arkham you’re much more grounded where in this game, you definitely want to focus on more aerial combos. It’s not difficult to do so but its very important to pop an enemy up in the air and try to knock them out in the air.

    Bosses

    There were a grand total of 7 Boss battles in the game and they were all for the most part well done. There is one boss that you end up fighting twice, the first you fight him, it’s not much more than a quick time event boss battle. Although the second time you fight the boss, it is much better and I think it may be my favorite boss in the game. Looking back, all of the boss battles did feel different and that’s what you really want in a video game.

    Mission/Level Design

    There are 3 keys that I want to touch upon in this section. The main story missions, the Miles/MJ missions, and the side missions.

    Main Missions: These were all fantastic with the exception of a few that I will touch upon in the next part. The main story of the game is maybe 20 hours and Insomniac did a fantastic job with the Main Story missions, it doesn’t feel like you’re rehashing the same missions over and over again.
    The Miles Morales/MJ, however, are just awful. They are forced stealth and they’re bad stealth in my opinion. What I define as bad stealth is stealth that if you’re ever caught, you lose instantly. Missions that are structured this way just lead to frustration and never fun. Luckily, these missions are not too common and there is maybe 6 of them, which equates to about 45 minutes to an hour.
    The third type is side missions and there is an inconsistency with them. Some are good but most are okay. My recommendation is mess around with a handful of them and then focus on the main story.

    Music/Sound Design/Voice Acting

    The sound design of the game is nearly perfect. I didn’t have any issue with the voice acting and the music felt like a Marvel movie. It’s exactly what I wanted.

    No other game I have played has done a better job of immersing me in the experience of being a superhero.

    While there are certainly areas of the game that could be improved, it does almost everything quite well. It is a very well rounded experience with fun immersive combat, a great story, and top notch visual and sound design.

    The gameplay is mostly excellent; movement through the city is fast, fun and feels natural. Spider-man responds and interacts with the environment in a fairly believable way running and jumping off of walls is fluid and responsive. The downside of traversal is that there are some areas that Spider-man gets stuck or can’t climb around corners on walls and it feels unnatural and jarring. Combat is very fun and fast paced, there are lots of ways to interact with enemies and make use the environment. The downside is that combat doesn’t really evolve as much as in other action adventure games. While you do unlock new abilities very few of them offer major changes to how you fight. There are a reasonable number of enemy types and the level of challenge is rewarding but combat does get repetitive. The boss battles are all pretty good but few stand out as exceptional. The puzzle sections of the game are fun at first but they do get repetitive by the end. Some stealth sections are a bit of chore. The menus are good and easy to navigate; my only complaint about the menu is that the text is too small in some areas. Overall there is nothing terribly bad about the gameplay it is consistently solid but there are some weak areas that it could be improved.

    The story is one of the best in a superhero game. I would say that it is a better story than the movies offer. The plot unfolds at a good pace and there are new elements introduced regularly to keep things interesting. It is well balanced with a mix of drama, action and humor, all complimenting each other and rarely feeling forced. It does a good job of filling in background information about the plot through phone conversations and Jameson’s radio show. These take place while traversing the city and are never really intrusive. There are a few moments in the story that are poorly explained and while there are some good twists few of them were amazing or deep. I was rarely surprised but most of the big moments were still satisfying. The conclusion didn’t disappoint and still a lot of ideas open to be explored in sequels.

    There have been countless games set in cities and many set in New York but this is one of the best versions of the city I have seen. It totally captures the feeling of being Spider-man. Many iconic New York landmarks are present but there are also many fictional buildings as well. While most of the game is set outside there are some really great interior locations. Most of the locations are crafted with care and attention to detail. Every section of the city has good number of activities and story events to experience. My only complaint about the world is that there is a lot of repetition, many hideouts all look the same. Interactivity is good but environments in other games offer more destructibility and interaction.

    There is a large cast of characters and nearly all of them are well written and developed. Peter goes through a great arc and feels authentic. I liked this version of the character better than any of the movie versions. MJ also has a good story and feels like a real person with her own motives. The villains are a bit of a mixed bag, some of them are pretty flat with minimal development. I found the back stories of the villains could have been more fleshed out but each of them has their own motives and none are as simple as doing evil for evil’s sake. The side characters are fleshed out well enough to make them believable. Every character adds something to the story.

    The game looks almost as good as a movie, the characters, environments, colors, lighting and designs all seem authentic to the Spider-man universe. Like most open world games, there is a bit too much visual repetition and there are some areas of the game that look a bit generic but it does far better than most and almost nothing in the game looks bad.

    Great voice acting, great sound effects and a sound track that feels true to the Spider-man experience. My one complaint about the sound is the music is a bit generic, there aren’t many memorable tracks or moments were the music is moving. With that said the music never gets in the way either, it always seemed to compliment what was happening.

    This is definitely one the longest Spider-man games and it offers a good blend of main story and side content. The story is around 15 hours with the side content offering another 10+ hours. A lot of the side content is repetitive but there is quite often some small story aspect attached to it. Phone conversations with side characters make generic quests a bit more interesting.

    I give it 85%

    Marvel's Spider-man is wonderful edition to Sony's already fantastic line up of single player exclusive titles.

    First and foremost, Insomniac have made quite simply the most (and by quite some distance) fun character to exist in a 3rd person world. Traversing as Spider-man is both exhilarating and intuitive, which seems like it should be impossible to provide, however they have cracked it. Exploration becomes incredibly rewarding due to the nature of swinging through New York being the reward itself. For this reason I haven't made it very far through the story (which has been great so far), because I have just been collecting all the collectables.

    The collectables have been done in a very satisfying way. Each type is introduced after beating a main mission. This means that (for example) there are only 55 collectables on the map in the beginning (backpacks with tokens and cool nods to Spidey's past and relationships). Every single collectable is available for collection, there are no restrictions that waste time. Then after beating the next mission a completely different type of collectable is available, for example photographing all of the landmarks, getting three stars in Wilson Fisk hideout battles or completing research missions. This bite size nature of adding a new collectable as you play through makes the game enticing to consider platinum-ing.

    Combat: The combat in Spider-man has many highs and a few lows. Combat feels smooth and challenging, rewarding your diversity in moves. I am playing on the harder difficulty and in almost all cases where I have died it has been my own fault and fair. I think the challenge presented in the hard mode is perfect and wish all games offered this balanced, fair level of difficulty. The only complaint I have is that the brutes feel a little un-balanced on the harder setting. They can only be hit while they are webbed and they do huge damage, so if there is ever two of them in one fight, then isolating one and dealing with it becomes very frustrating as they take roughly 25 hits to go down, meaning you need to dodge and avoid damage while webbing and combo-ing it roughly 5-6 times, while dodging the other one. bearing in mind that they can kill you in two hits, it can get a bit panicky and button mashy. I love how this game wires itself into your nervous system the way a fighter game does, so when all of that deliberate fluid tactical combat and goes out the window, it feels slightly cheap.

    Graphics: Graphics is a tough one to talk about, as they are both incredible and at times lacklustre. The world and environments are so stunning that you could forgive someone for comparing this game Vs a cinematic liner single player title. However, we need to remember that this game is actually a large open world with thousands of NPCs, and because of this demanding nature, the NPCs cannot all have the fidelity of Nathan Drake from uncharted. The witcher 3 was the same, where it had really detailed main characters and important NPCs, but every villager had the same bowl-cut hair and face. I personally don't think it detracts from the game at all, but in the current climate of gaming, I know people are going to be "outraged".

    I thoroughly recommend this game to anyone, people with arthritis should avoid this game however, as it really is taxing on the thumbs.

Rich story with memorable characters, main missions are well made with well balanced difficulity, boss fights are best from all superhero games I have played, but still the same concept you can see in batman for example. 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.

There are a couple but I think they could have added a ton of characters from the comics but I guess they need to save something for the next one. I would have liked to see some missions that require choice and consequences.
    The next is boss fights. This beats Arkham knight since there actually are boss fights but they could have been a little more difficult and last a little longer. I won’t spoil anything but they could of had more.

I recommend it either if you like it Spider-Man or not, since it's great as an action game per se. Leaving aside some minor bugs in combats (such as enemies getting trapped inside walls), it's technically very solid, and there are very little loadingAmazing game, no pun intended.

The three DLCs are also remarkable: interesting intertwined story, more challenging than the main game, new kinds of missions... Overall, Marvel's Spider-Man is very worth playing if you like superheroes and/or action video games. Expand

    In terms of Superhero games, Batman seemed to be dominating it with the Arkham series. However, Spider-Man seemed to be close behind him with games like the PS1 Spider-Man game, the Spider-Man 2 Movie Game, and Ultimate Spider-Man. But while he was close, he didn't get first place.

    Then out of the bloom at E3 2016, Insomniac Games, the developers of the Spyro and Ratchet and Clank

    Then out of the bloom at E3 2016, Insomniac Games, the developers of the Spyro and Ratchet and Clank series alongside Sunset Overdrive was tasked to make a Spider-Man video game. I lost my mind. We had to wait two years for the game to come out but man was it worth it.

    Great story, colorful cast of characters, terrific voice acting, beautiful graphics even on a regular PS4 and fun game play is what you expect in this game. There is a variety of stuff you can do in the game and tons to collect. Interact with the streets of New York City and stop crimes. This is the most definitive Spider-Man game I've played. Many people compare the combat to the Arkham games and I can see that, but I get a more Spider-Man 2 Movie Game vibe when fighting baddies. Just think of the game combining the two games together. And web swinging is fluent and fast. I didn't use fast travel a whole lot because of how good it was to swing.

    The only gripe I have is that, while there is plenty of stuff for you to do in the game, it does get a bit repetitive at points.

    Besides that, this is a must own for Spider-Man fans like me. And even if you aren't one, then I think this game could change your mind.

    Very good game! Its more an 8.7 than straight 9.

    - good story (it takes a little time to develop though) - swinging/parkour mechanics are excellent - developers absolutely nailed this. - combat is fun (at first confusing, but with time one can chain precise combos - it requires a bit of skill to stay undamaged adding challenge) - great attention to detail - anyone who is a spiderman

    - great attention to detail - anyone who is a spiderman fan should check this out - lots of suits, easter-eggs etc.

    Downsides?

    - MJ's stealth sections are tiring (not difficult, just unnecessary)
    - open world is a little shallow - repetitive NPC's, no natural day/night cycle (mission specific and require loading screens). It is nowhere near as deep as GTAV for instance.
    - puzzles are too frequent and too easy (can be skipped thank god)

    Overall well worth a buy if you like spiderman and/or liked the Arkham games

    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.
