    This was my first (conscious) 100% for a game, and it was totally worth it. This game's content is solid, from the main missions down to the landmark picture side quests. Story was enjoyable with some fun writing and was just an overall great game.

    No soy de juegos sobre super héroes pero este es tremendamente adictivo. Su gameplay tal vez no es original pero es muy entretenido. Los gráficos son increibles (compatible con HDR) y la ciudad esta llena de detalles. La historia es completa y llena de acción, ademas tiene mucho contenido extra.
    Técnicamente es muy estable, salida a 1080p y casi no hay caídas de fps.

    Fantastic game. Fantastic story. The combat is super smooth as is the traversal via webslinging. I've 100%'ed the story and all the DLC and every bit of it was awesome. Can't wait to play the sequel.

    Loved this game! Amazing story, gameplay, and graphics. Really what keeps it from being a masterpiece is how repetitive the missions are. Also, not being able to get to the Statue of Liberty or The Raft.

    The most fun game ever, period. Felt like the story could be improved, but besides that, this game was perfect. Filled with Marvel Easter eggs for all us fans out there. Can’t wait for Miles Morales on PS5.

    Spider-Man PS4 is a great, fun filled game. The story is top notch, the characters are great, the gameplay is extremely fun. The swinging around the city never gets old, the suit customizations. Just about everything is a blast. Would recommend!

    Amazing overall game and story, really well written characters, a well lived-in open world map. The combat, even though a little ripped off of the Batman Arkham games, brings some new elements to it and feels very smooth and enjoyable. Cons are the side content (except for side quests) that are sometimes repetitive and uninteresting I feel.

    The game is kinda... too perfect? I know how that sounds, it's just that feeling you get from it that it was destined to succeed on every front and Spider Man always felt campy...

    To be fair I can feel that Insomniac did though about it and tried as hard as they could to make the game give these cozy, personal and not too serious vibes but you can only do so much in an AAA open world    The game is kinda... too perfect?

    To be fair I can feel that Insomniac did though about it and tried as hard as they could to make the game give these cozy, personal and not too serious vibes but you can only do so much in an AAA open world game.

    I don't really like the menus, they are generic in their nature, just like many other AAA games and frankly, the font is sometimes too small. But my biggest problem with the game is probably combat, I really don't like this Batman style fighting, its not that fun and gets tiring quickly.

    But looking at the game as objectively as I can, they did such a great job in so many areas. The city is amazing and its open world nature did not stop the devs from putting fairly satisfying amount of details in the streets, the animations and web swinging - simply fantastic. The characters look really good and not like empty shells. Spiderman does his usual little jokes here and there, even menus, as generic as they are in their form are full of little details that give them just that little bit of personality. I don't think Spiderman fans could ask for anything better really. But somehow I had norę fun playing Spiderman for PS1.    … Expand

    All I have to say is WOW. Bravo, insomniac. From start to finish, through all the DLCs, and even just freely swinging after achieving 100%, this game was just flat out FUN.

From start to finish, through all the DLCs, and even just freely swinging after achieving 100%, this game was just flat out FUN. Yes it's a simple conclusion, but honestly there's no other way to describe it. The first hour or so of playing was just spent swinging around the city exploring. Central Park, Freedom Tower, the Avengers building, it's all there shining proud in the beaming New York City sunset. Combine that with the exhilarating soundtrack and man.. I had goosebumps not even 15 minutes into playing. Very few video games have ever achieved that in my experience. Here are a few specific things I loved about this game:

    The combat is fluid and fresh. You rarely seem to repeat the same sequence of moves. The unlockable moves and gadgets keep it fresh so you're always learning new ways to approach a group of enemies. Not to mention, it's some of the best looking combat to date.

    Swinging: The way you get around is just awesome. Sometimes I'd just take a break from missions and just swing around for a bit, letting the music swell. It beats driving around in GTA and riding around in RDR2 (and those are two of my favorite games of all time)

    The suits are freakin' sweet. Enough said.

    The game can be played at the pace you want. For me, I enjoyed playing fast pace going borough borough knocking out all missions and challenges swiftly.

    The story is beautifully written and the cut scenes are terrific. You will feel a range of emotions throughout. JJJ's character is absurd and hilarious as well.

    The only negative thing I can say about this game is that even when playing on the hardest difficulty, the game still doesn't present much of a challenge. If you're a gamer that prefers to get knocked down a few times before overcoming a difficult mission, this is not the best game for that. That said, it's only a minor complaint that doesn't even warrant a point drop in my rating. 10/10

    Simply beautiful game. Swinging from building to building is so satisfying. Finally the game that can truly showcase spidey movement. Story is nice but nothing new. It's little bit boring and grindy for 100% compilation but movement is so great that you just want to play it more so even in the middle of dull side quest you are having fun with web swinging.

    Of the real cool, I can only mention flying on the web and a good plot. Otherwise, these are borrowings from other games. And there's also good chemistry between the characters and beautiful New York.

    It feels more like it want's to be a movie than a video game. However, that's more of a preference than a complaint. there are mild things that I just don't like too much about this vs the Spiderman 2 game for Gamecube/PS2. The Web Zip's feel predetermined and not as organic as the old Spiderman 2. But the graphics are definitely an improvement over that game.

Overall, the game is good, but probably not my favorite game, but if I had to choose between playing this game and SM2 for Gamecube... I would probably play this game! their is just a lot more customization, and side-quests and fun mechanics to work with vs that one, that isn't to say that game is terrible. I would definitely still recommend others to go play that game, but if you're looking for a way to dive into Spider-man games in general, you CANNOT go wrong with this one.… 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.
