I have a small criticism for the game, and it's also my favorite thing about the game: Web Swinging. Web swinging in this game really makes you FEEL like Spider-Man (yep, I said it). The only 2 valid criticisms I have of it is when you get too low with your web swing, When Spidey should touch the ground he stays in the air. That's about it. This is genuinely in my top three favorite games of all time.… Expand

    The sound design is great, the environment is spectacular, and the voice acting is incredible. The story does take a dip in certain bits instead of fully sticking to its guns, but overall it's one of the best stories ever made.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really liked this Game, absolute phänomenal.

    Story

    Brilliant, every cutscene every character was well written and presented. Especially with Spiderman alias Peter Parker they did a great job. The opponents are very well chosen (Octopus, Vulture and more). All in all it was a thrilling story ride with a very good ending.

    Graphics

    They nailed it, this game looks beatiful. Especially the cutscenes are perfect. The City or parts of its enviroment arent always good looking, but thats okay for me.

    Gameplay

    Stunning combat system, enjoyed every combo, every abilitie I made. The skill system is not that deep but it does its job. The collection of things (where u can learn some story parts) and skins for spiderman are good too. Only the challenges were boring and repetitive.

    Summary

    9/10 get and play this Game now, for every Marvel Fan but also others a must Have on Ps4.    … Expand

    A truly impressive game - even on base PS4. It really is fun to play, and the mechanics are almost always spot on.

The only negative I had is the basic construct of the game in terms of the type of combat can feel pretty repetitive... especially during the endgame. However, even if it feels like you fought the same battle 100 times, it’s still fun... and you can’t beat the traversal feels swinging in New York City!… Expand

A única coisa que me decepcionou foi a Insomniac ter cortado partes do jogo para lançar via DLC; até hoje não consegui jogar a obra por inteiro justamente por isso.

    for those who played spiderman games since 16 bits to PS1, always dreamed of playing an open world of the hero, after so many years we finally had our dream come true!
    It is the best game in the history of Spiderman, fun, easy to play and with a story worthy of super heroes.
    Thanks to the producers for bringing this masterpiece!

    I came looking for a reskin of a Batman game, with a spiderman twist and ended up finding one, if not the best superhero game ever. The graphics, fighting, and swinging are amazing, but the interpretation of Peter Parker is so fresh, unique, and well-executed that it has become the best version of spiderman. All of this comes together to become an amazing game

But most importantly to the open world is the gameplay for the story mode, which is very good, well expect for the MJ and Miles levels. Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are terrible, of course half of the levels are stealth and most of them are unnecessary. However the story it self is amazing it has a lot of great twists and turn. The skill tree and customization systems are also very well made, it allows neat ways to upgrade and earn new stuff. Marvels Spider-Man is a great time for sure, it delivers so much from its amazing combat system and incredible story plus there is so much more to explore it’s insane!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had extremely high hopes for this game, and I'm pleased to say Insomniac Games have either met or exceeded every one of my expectations. While there is some room for improvement, Marvel's Spider-man is a fantastic game, one of the best of the generation in fact. More importantly, it rivals the Arkham games for the title of best superhero game, and more importantly still, it ranks alongside Spider-man 2, Into the Spider-Verse and the Spectacular Spider-man as one of the best takes on the character both within and outside the comics.

    I expected stellar graphics and gameplay, and that's exactly what I got. It runs beautifully, the game world looks gorgeous, and the impressive facial capture really adds life to cutscenes. The web-swinging is easily the most fun and visually impressive to date, and the combat is deep and open to experimentation, with a nice degree of enemy variety. Stealth is a bit basic, but is still satisfying. Wall-crawling is a bit awkward though, and it would have been nice to have had a bit more in the way of deep, story based side content that makes the most of Spider-man's rich history and mythology, but most of what's here is still fun regardless.

    What I didn't expect was how great the story and characters would be. Insomniac have delivered one of the all time great Spider-man stories in any medium in my opinion, managing the near impossible task of creating something that honours the past while also feeling new and fresh. This game features some of my favourite versions of Peter, MJ and [SPOILERS] Doc Ock. It's even one of only two pieces of Spider-man media to make me like and care about Miles Morales, a character I've been lukewarm on in the comics. Additionally, the love the developers have for the source material is obvious, with an obscene number of references and easter eggs to Spider-man and the wider Marvel Universe tucked away for discovery. There are some flaws: certain characters feel like they don't get enough screen time, and others feel a bit schizophrenically written in order to wrap up the plot. These are minor flaws however, and I applaud the Insomniac team for their amazing work in this field.

    To sum up, if you're a fan of Spider-man, superheroes, or just games in general, this is a must play. Thank you Insomniac for the amazing experience and all your hard work. Can't wait for the sequel!    … Expand

    Cuando un juego tiene la capacidad de viaje rápido pero el gameplay hace que te olvides por completo de que lo tiene es un gran logro.

    Aunque no seas fan de Marvel o de Spiderman sigue siendo un gran juego y merece darle una oportunidad porque es de esos pocos que es complicado que no encuentres algo de lo que disfrutes enormemente.

    Enough has been said about this game that needs to be said.

    Basically: Pros and cons:
    + Story feels professionally acted. Writing is actually pretty good; Despite some things being obvious in the long run, they're still delivered well enough to keep you invested.
    + Gameplay is fluent, particularly moving around the city. The wide availability of side objectives makes it easy to sink into a flow of moving around the map that stays fun for hours. Combat isn't too complex; It's easy to grasp and reliably functional. Though:
    - Despite the wide range of special abilities, you can only have one (out of over 30) equipped, which leaves a missed opportunity to shake up the combat more, as it does get fairly repetitive by late game.
    - Mary-Jane stealth missions break up the flow of the game. (As well as the Miles stealth portions.)
    It's very clear that having Spider Man's abilities is what makes Spider Man games fun, and they don't really add enough nuance to make up for it. Though hacking electronics was a nice touch.
    + Clever redesigns of certain villains that believably fit into this game's universe.
    + Some segments of the game are pretty unforgettable, like this one point where you're trying to escape a poison-induced hallucination.

    Overall... my personal experience with Spider Man hasn't been with the comics, so I can't really speak as to what this game would mean to a hardcore comic fan, but compared to other Spider Man media I've taken in (multiple movies, two whole cartoon series, and the original game), this is probably the most moving, engaging, and believable in its execution. So I definitely recommend this game to anyone looking for a sandbox / superhero type of deal, as well as anyone casually interested in Spider Man.    … Expand

    Yuri Lowenthal puts life in Peter Parker. The story is soooo good. And the moment I start swinging in NYC I was blown away, because everything feels so smooth.

    The only down side is I wish there is more to explore and do in this game, actually going into a building and interact with people etc.

    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.
