    The best superhero game ever. The plot and fighting are great. The best web swinging mechanics I ever seen.

    Uno de los mejores juegos para la ps4, a pesar de que la historia no es muy larga es entretenida, el combate es genial y los gráficos muy a la altura de lo que se espera de un triple A

    Good game. The best superhero game. The only negative is the interaction with the city. You can not do anything with the residents, you can not normally walk around the city, the buildings are honestly plastic. But still the game is great. obligated to purchase. Waiting for the continuation.

    The story is superb. The Best origin ever for one of the best (or worst?) Spider-Man's enemies. The game lacks a lock-on target, but is great anyway.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed every minute of this game from beginning to end. The combad feels great, the collectables are challenging but not overwhelming, and the web swinging feels so natural. The only thing i missed from the older games was the voice of bruce camble giving you direction via sarcastic insults. Lol. Completeing everything in the main game took about 48 hours of game play. Havent even touched the 3 DLC yet. This is one of the best games i have played in many years if you havent bought it i highly suggest you get it. *

    It took everything that was great from previous Spider-Man games and took it to the next level. You really feel like your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man while swinging through the authentically designed city of New York.
    The developers borrowed many elements from the Batman: Arkham series and made it work for this character. I could swing around the city for hours with no particular goal in mind. The story is also great so far (I am about 2/3 in I think) and the characters feel alive.

    My only complaints are the following - and they are minor ones:
    - The game could use a bit more content: I played around 20 hours so far and am at 62% progress so it can't be more than 40 hours to complete the game entirely.
    - Some more unlockable skills that really enhance your gameplay would be nice: In particular I am thinking about some kind of wingsuit like in Homecoming. Would be nice to glide for a bit.
    - Release it on PC - I had to borrow a PS4 from a friend in order to play.

    All in all, it is absolutely great and if they make a part two, I am sure it will be even better!    … Expand

    SpiderMan and Insomniac humor go hand in hand

    Bad

    Side missions can get tedious deeper in the game

    Any missions where you’re controlling someone not Spider-Man (including playing as Peter Parker) are boring. Would rather just watch a longer cutscene of those parts

    Kind of don’t like having to do specific missions to obtain certain gear. Would rather just use XP or a singular token system for all items

    Overall

    Insomniac nailed it for the most part. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s a superhero or action/adventure fan. Has great replay value as well and rewards completionists with cool costumes, gadgets, etc.    … Expand

    Long after I completed the story, I kept web swinging Spider-Man through Manhattan, looking for petty crimes to stop. The game is first and foremost fun. Just spectacularly fun. Web swinging, punching, swing kicks, wall crawling, and gadgets are all amazingly well done. No super hero game has felt this good to play.

No super hero game has felt this good to play.

    The game also looks amazing. I'm running an OG PS4 and the graphics are amazing. Unlock the comic spider suit and you can see just how realistic the people and objects look next to a 2-D Spider-Man. On top of that, the voice acting cast is deep and talented. The total package is the most polished open world game I've played since Horizon Zero Dawn. My only complaint is that the streets are filled with too few types of video game people.

    The story itself is an epic thrill ride with a truly cinematic ending. If you really want to enjoy the story, play the Friendly Neighborhood mode and forget about having to unlock everything. Otherwise be ready to take down bases and perform challenges to upgrade your gear. I would say that most of the gear can be bypassed, and maybe only 1/2 the challenges need to be completed before the final boss fights. The completionist that I am, I finished all side quests before advancing the story. Because I love the gameplay, I loved playing all of the repetitive content. I feel like a hypocrite because I tired of Ubisoft's open world bases long ago and lambasted Arkham Knight for it's overuse of bases. Maybe I'm inherently biased toward Spider-Man. Maybe its the limited nature of the bases and lack of padding that makes other games a slog to play. Assuming you don't die and restart too often, the game is a tight experience.

    Without hesitation, I label this game a must play. You will love it. I guarantee it.    … Expand

    This is, in my opinion THE best ps4 exclusive. the combat is simple yet somehow manages to be super interesting. and the story speaks for itself. its spider man. However the parts where you had to play as MJ were very boring. i wouldn't mind one or two. but there were like 5 of them. still a fantastic game though

    This game is a masterpiece loved it from start to finish. Hands down one of the best games I've ever played. The story had twist and turns and kept me engaged. The only critic I have is the stealth sections. They aren't hard and I was only caught twice but I remember always dreading them next one.

It reminds me of similar games like mad max, far cry basically any game made by ubisoft that have a ridiculous amount of side activities to chip away at but i never found any of these games side activities fun just boring, although i would say they do put a bit more effort into the side activities here then most of these games do, still at the end of the day just not my type of game and thats fine, im sure most people loved their time with the game and i cant fault them for it, if however you are like me and dont find enjoyment from these types of games i dont think this is the one that will change your mind… Expand

Years of lackluster movie tie-ins with occasional strokes of genius helped inform the design of this entry and it's the most refined superhero experience available.

    The visuals are excellent, particularly the beautifully-rendered. sunset-soaked scale replica of New York and the facial animations of the main cast. It's no easy feat to recreate a real-life city with all the major landmarks and make it seem real and lived in. The game world is bustling and alive and never feels artificial. Crimes pop up randomly, there's traffic jams, pedestrian conversations are realistic and the weather/atmosphere/day-night effects are stunning. Add to this fantastic sound design in the voice acting and score (which reacts and changes depending to your current activity - genius!), you have a lovingly-crafted presentation. The story is so good, and surprisingly emotional, grounded by probably my favourite Peter Parker ever. Seriously, he is the most capable, likable and relatable Spider-Man yet.

    Gameplay is equally impressive. The swinging controls are pitch-perfect and traversing Manhattan is a joy. Fast-travel is neglected completely. 3 km journey? Easy, swing the whole way. Running along building faces, catapulting off edges, zipping to faraway ledges, flipping, diving, it's all exhilarating. Combat is in general very good in most respects and gets tougher and tougher as you go along. It's basic Arkham-style button bashing but with web-shooting and much faster/nimbler. The skill upgrade trees feel a bit shallow in all honesty and don't impact your combat massively and the controls can be a bit fiddly when walls/obstacles are near (Spider-Man gets confused whether you want him to dodge a punch or scale a wall then GET punched). Overall, I really enjoyed the variety of side quests/collectibles on offer most however (camera quests, collectathons, story-driven side quests, challenges, base takeovers, science experiments). I platinumed the game last night and the only tedious aspect was completing all randomised crimes, as these can be very samey. Boss fights were the most disappointing gameplay aspect in a purely [practical sense. Their design, atmosphere, story linkage was AMAZING, but the fights were so boring and essentially identical for all major bosses. Considering the variety of excellent villains this is weird, but didn't spoil the fun entirely. Stealth sections as other characters were a bit of a pace destroyer but were OK.

    I need to shout out to the unlockable suits here, they are fantastic and their unique abilities easily make the biggest impact on combat and look incredible. A great addition.

    Ultimately, this is the quintessential Spider-Man experience that shouldn't be missed, despite its few minor annoyances/pacing issues/shallow upgrade system. Swinging about is worth the price itself, in my opinion, and won't be topped!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great game with fun gameplay and combat, excellent web-slinging and a solid story that culminates in a satisfying conclusion. The soundtrack is well-used, the various suits you can unlock are all great, and the graphics are fantastic as you web-sling through a gorgeous New York City filled with all of the major landmarks, including even the Avengers tower. Characters for the most part were handled well, and the various side-missions were also enjoyable, if not a bit repetitive.

    What held this game back for me was in how they handled Mary Jane. I wasn't too fond of her character in this, as well as the MJ and Miles Morales missions that made up a portion of the main story content. These were missions in which you took control of MJ and Miles in stealth sections. The problem with this is that I did not find these sections enjoyable as they essentially amounted to "throw this thing" or "hack this thing", random thug reacts like a brainless zombie, then you sneak by loudly, still probably within peripheral vision but whatever it's stealth ya'll this is how it works I guess. When Spidey himself is so enjoyable to play, switching to either of these two characters in these contrived sections of 'stealth' felt like a pain.

    Overall, however, the game is great and despite the flaws I would still consider this to be the quintessential Spider-Man game and I hope that they build on this foundation with a potential sequel. 8/10.    … 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.
