    A really great game. Combat is frustrating only at first then you learn and become Spidey. Looks great and runs really well. Dialog and story are top notch. There is so much to do and I would replay the entire game it's so fun and swinging through an amazingly detailed New York is the coolest!

    Spider-Man is my favorite game of all time. I have had this game for over a year and every second of the main campaign was absolutely worth it. Now that the game has dropped in price and has a version that includes all of the amazing dlc there is no reason not to pick this up.

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.

    Spider-Man! One of the biggest PS exclusives of 2018 and I finally completed it! Overall, I rather enjoyed the game but didn't seem to have the burning passion that most people did for the game. I'll tackle the combat first.

    Combat: This is one of the portions of the game that really shine. The combat is fast, frantic and friggin' beautiful! To compare it to the Arkham games is unfair, it's like comparing Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, two games that are in the same genre but handle it entirely different. Where Batman, wants to make you feel every individual punch you pull on an enemy, Spider-Man focuses on having you zoom around the battlefield and slam your opponent from every angle.

    Story: The game has a really enjoyable plot filled with twists, turns, and intrigue. It gets reasonably emotional towards the end and that is where it feels like the writers are at their absolute best. The only problems I had were that the overall pace and interest of the story really dipped at the halfway mark and majority of the second act felt like a slog to play through when compared to the opening and closing segments.

    Gameplay: This is where the game gets a bit mixed for me. The overall game will last about 15-20 hours for normal players (30-35 for platnium players). The game is filled with a plethora of somewhat boring collectibles, with the backpacks being great and everything else being meh. The game's side missions almost all suck with at least one downright terrible one (the streamer one) and the open world mostly feels lifeless and becomes boring to explore quickly. Thankfully, the web-slinging system is so amazing it *almost* makes up for it. There are also these segments where you get to play as other characters important to the plot and they are often boring to play through, which hurts my willingness to replay it.

    Characters: Every main character is genuinely interesting and most of them have some sort of tragedy. Mary-Jane has some slightly annoying moments but she is never unbearable. The only character I feel more mixed towards is Peter. His growth as a character and his overall story line is great and all, but his damn quipping can get so freaking annoying. This is the same problem that Insomniac's previous game, the terribly underrated Sunset Overdrive, had. The game makes too many jokes and most of them don't land for me. But, comedy is subjective I guess.

    Downloadable Content: Don't bother spending your money on it. Most of the missions are sub-par along with the suits. But, if you really need a fix for more of the plot, then you may get your money's worth.

    Overall Verdict: Game's highly enjoyable, but after obtaining the platinum, I can't find a reason for me to want to return to the game outside of playing the story sometime again in the future. The story deserves a full playthrough but the side content is only worth doing once for the trophies.

The main story is interesting and has lots of good set pieces but is generally pretty superficial which is probably to be expected from a comic book superhero game. The way the city changes throughout the story is excellent though. The stealth missions can get a bit tiresome by the end but i generally enjoyed my time with the main story. The side missions are a different story. They are mostly short, uninteresting and involve similar repetitive tasks. Some try to mix things up but its clear that they simply didn't receive their fair share of developer time. As with nearly all modern open world games there is the standard radio tower climbing, endless collectables and repetitive randomised events but these are generally inoffensive.

    Overall, it's an enjoyable but somewhat forgettable game that doesn't overstay its' welcome. It has nothing to 'say' and doesn't push any boundaries but is generally fun and well worth playing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is exactly what the superhero industry needed to revitalize superhero games. With a gripping story, great gameplay and graphics, Marvel's Spider-Man might be what Iron Man was to the cinematic world.

    Starting off with the story, it's the usual Spider-Man. Peter Parker is in college age and is already Spider-Man when the game starts and focuses on William Fisk, Kingpin, in the beginning. Combining the friendly neighborhood Spidey work, Peter also works at FEAST with Aunt May and Martin Li. Everything takes a turn when Spider-Man catches Kingpin which unleashes a wave of uncontrolled criminality driven by Mister Negative and his chinese culprits, the Demons, as they try to dismantle Norman Osborn from his run to extend his Mayor post in New York.

    It all continues with an introduction of Miles Morales, Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six as it culminates into an epic battle of peace in New York, which Peter has to solve while also maintaining his persona hidden and handling his new relationship with MJ.

    The story is great and epic and truly feels like a superhero story. However, there are plenty of plot holes and badly explained parts which need background information to understand. While the climaxes are amazing, the parts leading up to the climaxes can be lackluster. Certain characters would need fleshing out before introduction as well.

    The gameplay is in general great. You do feel like the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man as you swing through a huge New York solving minor crimes. However, the game offers A LOT of optional side missions and tasks, which in my taste is a bit too much. While it pushes the friendly neighborhood hero narrative, it takes a way a lot of time from the main story. I would definitely prefer a more fleshed out main story than swinging through New York taking pictures or finding backpacks.

    The combat is very good with great gimmicks and amazing animations. It gets a bit repetetive as much of the combat is based on waves with fairly few different opponents, but it's still good enough to take you through the game. The bosses however are mostly amazing with different mechanics and scenarios that truly feel epic.

    The graphics in the game are good. They're not the best of the generation, but good enough. The characters feel alive enough with some good expressions. The game is a bit cartoony but that's fine in a game like Spider-Man, as it's a comic book.

    One of the negatives is that there are quite a few loading screens in the game. While not really an issue, it's more of how other games have evolved past loading screens. It suddenly feels quite unmodern with loading screens, but it's not enough to really bring down the game.

    All in all, Marvel's Spider-Man is a great game and for superhero fans, it's a must play. The story is great at the peaks, but would need some more fleshing out and fewer plot holes which could be fixed by reducing the number of side quests and focusing on the main story instead. The gameplay is good but as noted earlier, is quite focused on the side questing which drags it down a bit. The combat is cool and superhero-like but could be fleshed out a bit more, but the bosses and main antagonists definitely holds top, top class.

    In the era of superhero domination in the cinematic world, Marvel's Spider-Man is just right in time, and it will be very interesting to see where Insomniac takes this in to the future.    … Expand

    The open-world, although beautiful, gets very repetitive by the end, with the majority of it's content having you either find collectibles or stop crimes, the latter of which by the end just feels like a chore.

The side content is severely lacking, with it's side quests failing to match the quality of the ones in Batman: Arkham City, with most of them not even having fully rendered cutscenes. It fails to do anything unique with the 'Ubisoft' towers, with you simply swinging up to them and playing a short minigame. The stealth missions where you play as a different character, although I personally didn't mind them, could certainly get annoying for some people.

    Despite all this, Marvel's Spider-Man is still an excellent, excellent game. It's swinging mechanics, which are the best in any Spider-Man game to date, are as fun as ever and you can get hours of entertainment just swinging around Manhattan. The graphics are superb, and the combat, although simple, never gets old. The suits are all amazing, although it can get tedious obtaining the collectibles to purchase them. The different gadgets are fun to play around with. The story is far better then the story in any Spider-Man movie, and coupled with brilliant voice acting and excellent characterization makes it a truly unforgettable and at times emotional narrative.

    Conclusion: Although the side content and content of the open-world leaves a lot to be desired, the gameplay, graphics, voice acting and story all comes together to provide a truly excellent narrative and a fantastic experience.    … Expand

I'm personally not the biggest Spider-Man fan as I get easily annoyed by tropey jokes (which is kinda the modern Marvel way i feel). I grew up with the first Spider-Man trilogy, though, and absolutely loved it. I also enjoyed the Amazing Spider-Man, although I couldn't get warm with the newest iteration. This game however more or less does its own thing. Of course, there are your classic villains, but it takes place a few years after the origin-story, so we have a slightly more experienced vigilante to deal with.

    The Good:

    - Graphics. I wasn't too impressed when I just looked at screenshots or heard people say how detailed the world is. But having played it myself, I wholeheartedly agree. Quite impressive what they've managed to pull off on the PS4 (I played on Pro), especially considering the size of the world.

    - Story. While there are flaws and the dialogue was often rather weak (especially with the villains), the overall story doesn't have to hide from its movie-counterparts. While character intentions where often questionable, if not downright stupid, it wasn't really distracting and there were enough things going on in parallel for me to not get bored.

    - the Swing. The swinging is really that good that it deserves to be praised on its own. You have a short array of options how to traverse through the air and once you've gotten used to it, you'll really feel like Spider-Man. You'll want to stay off the streets for as long as possible anyway, for following reasons.

    The Meh:

    - Combat and Spider-Man on the ground. While the similarities to the Arkham-series are uncanny, the combat felt way more fleshed out imo. While you basically have to follow button-prompts with Batman and chain a few to get certain moves most of the time, Spider-Man seems to have much more control over what tools he's got on hand. The fluidity also doesn't feel as floaty as Batman's and movement seems more natural. There are downsides to it, however. The dodge was VERY inconsistent and button-inputs seemed to get ignored a little too often. Spider-Man is also much too slow when walking and basically took a nap after every dodge, creating rather unfair situations at times. It also doesn't help that he gets stuck in geometry very often, making dodge-attempts completely useless, even if it's just a water-hydrant or a car (he should definitely be able to jump those, no?).

    The Bad:

    - The opening Mission (Tutorial). Probably among the worst I've seen from games like this. The combat system really needs getting used to, so having a mission to train is much needed. The mission itself was not great, however. For someone who just started the game for the first time, the mission-objectives where sometimes not clear at all (those turrets still make me angry) and the boss-fight was too hard at that stage. It starts off the story in a nice way, but I bet many players got turned off immediately when they first tried it. For this reason, I would honestly never recommend the game to anyone who rarely plays video-games or never dove into the genre before (Arkham would be a better fit, probably)

    Also: easy plat :)    … 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.
