    The story is great, the gameplay is very fun! One of the few games that I never used fast travel just because traversing through the city was so satisfying.

    Spider-Man is simply the most straight up fun I've had in a game in quite some time. Both the combat and traversal are fluid and fun, and just complex enough to stay interesting.

    Marvel’s Spider-Man is a great game. It was so much fun in that it makes playing as the titular hero such a blast. It was so much fun that I never wanted it to end.

    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

    What a ride this game was. I had all the faith in the world that Insomniac would create a Spiderman game unlike anything we have had before but I didn't quite expect it to be this good. If you are like me, your first question might be; How is the web slinging? I'll tell you that it feels better than ever. Of coarse traversal has never been a problem with Insomniacs games.

I mean look how much fun it was just grinding around in Sunset Overdrive. The only thing I can say that I didn't particularly like was the combat style. It's obviously ripped right out of the Arkham games, and still to this day I have no idea why people think that combat is fun. It's just boring. Spiderman's abilities make it a tad more fun for me than the Batman games but this button prompt method is just boring to me. It's the kind of combat that is built for looks not for gameplay. That's really the only thing I didn't like. The rest of the game more than makes up for it imo. If you are a fan of the Arkham games you will definitely like this game. If you aren't a fan of the Arkham games I would still suggest you try it. Im'm guessing that is you don't like the Arkham games it's because of the combat, but again Spiderman is still incredibly fun. Just try it.… Expand

    - The final fight plays out very well both narratively and mechanically

    - All of the voice actors did a great job portraying their characters
    - Strong VO performances across the board; Yuri Lowenthal and Laura Bailey carry the story very well
    - Combat takes a little while to get used to, but with enough time and enough upgrades, encounters are a lot of fun to fight through
    - Gorgeous rendition of New York City sprinkled with a good amount of Marvel landmarks to keep things interesting
    - The fast travel scenes on the subway are great

    Mixed:
    - Stealth mechanics are serviceable, but these handful of sequences often just compose of web takedowns from the rafters. In strongholds, no matter how well you perform, enemies will be alerted once a certain number are taken out.
    - A podcast hosted by J. Jonah Jameson seems like a fun way to fill, but the dialogue often just harkens on the same joke over and over again and grows tiresome after awhile. At least the devs were nice enough to give the option to turn it off.
    - Overall the side quest content came across as uninspired, regularly falling into open world tropes and pitfalls
    - Suit power-ups are often fun to play around with, but Web Blossom is so overpowered that it basically renders everything else useless
    - There’s a nice arsenal of gadgets to choose from, but very little incentive to actually use all of them. Sticking with 2 or 3 throughout the game is more than enough to deal with any challenge.

    Bad:
    - Martin Li was a very lukewarm villain that was rewarded way to much screentime. Classic and infinitely more interesting bad guys mainly take a backseat in the narrative because of him.
    - Sequences with Miles and Mary Jane are adequate at the best of times and very annoying to get through overall
    - The lack of traversal upgrades was disappointing to say the least

And if quality gameplay, story and voice acting ain't enough, the game is drop dead gorgeous on top of that. I will admit however some of the side activities you can do are a little weak and generally stereotypical for an open world game, but when they absolutely nail everything else, it is not really worth getting pissy over. It is truly a must have on PS4, and (much to my surprise) one of the best games I have played in recent memory. A #P4P great for sure.… 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.
